vectors of the form(a,b,c) where b=a+c ??\nHow do you arrive at an answer ??

The steps I followed were:  pick a vector in that subspace of R3, then find another vector perpendicular to that one that's still in R3.  These two should form a basis.  So, I picked (a,0,-a)to start from.  A vector perpendicular to that one that's still in the subspace is (a,2a,a).  \n\nA more general way to  find a basis (not necessarily normal) would be to pick a vector in that subspace, and then pick another one.  If the only solution of the equation A(vector 1)+B(vector 2)=0 is A=B=0, the two vectors are linearly independent, and form a basis for the subspace.


Transactions involving the sale of real estate is one situation in which the seller of property is under an affirmative duty to voluntairy disclose information to the buyer material facts. ARE THERE OTHER SITUATIONS WHEN SUCH A DUTY OF DISCLOSURE IS REQUIRED?

Full disclosure is required on or before final authorizations.


well i might be able to take one friend camping and i have 4 friends i want to take my friends but i can only take one! and one goes every where and her brother is coming home from collage and she doesn't want to be there! another girl never like goes any where with me and one girl goes places with me but not a lot so who should i take!!!!!!!!!!

My son, age 10, has started listening to his friend's CDs. However they had bad language. How do I moniter this with out feeling like I'm in control of his life?

I would suggest you take time to share part of your childs life. Enjoy their music with them. Dont make it a negative experience at all this will most likely back fire. If you start sanctioning what your child listens to they are likely to rebel. Guide your child by his or her tastes, and even share your own. Discuss things you find objectional with your child in a constructive way. Suggest music you think is appropriate, get them excited about it! Positive only! You have been warned! Take them to a concert even!\n\nThe point is share positive experiences together -- this is the best influence you can have on your child.


My knees swell slightly.  They don't get huge but I am concerned about the unfamiliar skin color that appear with the swelling. Sometimes just 1 or both knees look bruised. Also; one time (that I noticed) the swelling an discoloration went down to the tops of both feet. All of the other times; the bruising appears from knee up. Never higher than middle of leg. Look like I fell on a bed of pebbles or med. size rocks.  anyone? Have ideas? Is it the old liver?

sounds like your pitting (retaining fluid) how is your blood pressure you may need a diuretic- water pill I would not let that go on drink plenty of water and go to your Doctor heart problems are the silent killer and if it is that you are retaining fluid it may be heart related


i need to know a webpage with pictures, information!! and important stuff about Romeo And Juliet!! can someone pleazse help me!! thank you!!


How did thomas jefferson and James madison use the social contract theory and the the ideas of the enlightenment while writing the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution?

Thomas Jefferson used the social contract theory to say that since the king was not governing as the people needed, we had the right to form our own government. (Declaration of Independence)\n\nJames Madison wrote the Constitution. His first line was "We the people..."


I'm interested in buy an HP LaserJet1020 Printer, hopefuly it's a good printer, I did my research and the cartridge is $70. The inkjet printer I currently have doesn't print well because I print about 1 page on average a week and I constantly have to clean out the ink cartridge, and it still prints in poor quality.

if you can afford the purchase price of a laser machine, i highly recommend it.  i agree with the other answerers, with inkjets you have toprint at least once a day, or once every other day.  with lasers, nah, it's a powder.  however if you have a high moisture content in your air, you might want to take this into consideration.  i'm not sure, but i would think that the excess moisture could cause the powder to get all 'clumpy'.  but if that is not the case i would get the laser.\n\ngood luck


Not trying to be mean, I'm just curious.

I am Muslim and I do not believe women are required to cover their faces. Everyone (including men) is, however, required to conduct themselves modestly.\n\nYou will get a lot of answers from people who take the Qur'an out of context and do not look at the arabic words which tell a very different story from the translations. There are some Muslims who believe women should be completely covered from head to toe and others who believe women covering themselves completely is a form of idol worship. Islam is as diverse as any other religion (and also varies geographically and culturally).


Out of all the possible spots that they could break for a commercial on a movie. How do stations pick certain spots of the movie for commercial breaks? Is this an easy process or does it take days?

when a film is released to television, there are suggested breaks for commericals.  In films shot for tv, the action is set so that a commercial break will occur at the time is will least interfer with the story.  the bottom line comes down to how many commercials have been sold for that time slot.


I was born with lycamtrophy, does that mean that I am going to hell because of the way that I was born?

I'm interested in making more money. I heard ebay is one of the way we can earn by working at home. I have got one full time work already so this is just another way for me to earn smothing..any of you got any suggestions for this?

Type ebay on your browswer. Once there it is simple they walk you through it. Start buying or selling. Imagine it is like having a garage sale. Sometimes you make money on things sometimes you lose money but you get rid of things. It is a win win situation.


I know Kidd went to the NBA in 1994, and Tony tried to go in 1997, so based on that it seems like they should have played together in the 1993-1994 season. I can't find any past box scores or other information out there. Anyone know if they did play together?

Tony's freshman year @ Cal was 94-95 which was JKIdd's 1st year w/ Dallas


I USE IT EVERYDAY AND NEVER SEE ADS OR POP UPS, WHAT IS THEIR INCENTIVE FOR IT...

well, put it this way then. \nThis answer site of yahoo has lots and lots of questions from many people about thousands of different topics. May be you think they don't profit anything from us because we use this site for free, they don't get any money from us, but just think about it. Yahoo is a big company which has millions of users all over the world. A company like this will really need to know the personalities and the characteristics of their customers and through these questions and answers, they can easily work out our own characteristics based on the types of questions people ask, the topics each person focuses on, how many times a day/week/month a person logs onto yahoo, how many questions they ask or answer etc... Then based on these databases, they can either develop new programs, products, services or improve the existing products, services for their customers to make existing customers happy and to attract new customers. The more customers yahoo has, the happier are the customers, the better their worldwide reputation is. They can therefore grow even bigger and better, earn more profit. Moreover, other companies in the world might want databases related to topics that are available in "yahoo answers", and because these questions and answers belong to Yahoo, other companies then have to pay a great deal of money to buy it off Yahoo. And if the answers that are bought by that company help the company out in a way, the reputation of yahoo then will become even better. Hence, many other companies will come to Yahoo for business solutions when they need to. That's another huge profit, isn't it ? \nWell, that's what I think. What about you :)

Hello, I'm the Goddess of the Internet.  I was trying to download some incense someone sent me, and I am a little clueless when it comes to these things.  \n\nWhere is that stupid any key again?

I don't know, but I've pressed the Tab key expecting a drink and nothing happens!  That little tray that pops out is not a cup holder, I found that out the hard way.


continue question.\nlow-coupon bonds, other things equal and held constant?\n\nTrue of False

True.  The price elasticity on high-coupon bonds is less, everything else equal, because for the low-coupon bond, the payment is concentrated in the principle at the end.


The meaning of Life is to help & sustain  each other humanbeing/ Life & make our living place a more happier than present status. Live & let live is the principle of LIFE.The goodness in each humanlife is personified as GOD. The soul of each person is devinepotential.Each person is having soul given by God, the Almighty.The God is omnipresent. Every humanbeing is a part of nature's creation.GOD is created by none,He is hidden in this world & also in your body like the plasurable warmth in the bathing water, like the sweetness of the fruit juice in tender plants,like the fragnance of flowers in their buds & like the love of a maiden i.e. her breasts & long hairs, in a female babe. There is a super power which controls the entire world order & happenings; this unseen super power is concieved by every humanbeing during his bad times & his misrease/distress & then he would try to  achieve for getting the eternal bliss i.e. 'MOKSH',(meaning getting freedom from re-birth & joining the super power/GOD for ever):


I am now doing an questionnaires about this topic.Please tell me some aspects or significant differences that I should notice about. Thank u~

Are we speaking of college students who are graduates of college or graduate students?\n\nI can tell you from personal experience that being a graduate student is way different from being a college student. For one, I had many other "grown-up" things to worry about (bills, house, husband etc.) besides where to party on the weekends. Spring break means absolutely nothing to a graduate student because most have jobs and/or children. I also think there is more personal investment in graduate students, due to it really being a choice. Not that an undergraduate degree is not a choice, but it is almost understood that in order to get a decent job, you have to go to college these days.\n\nHope this helped :-)


My organ collection is mostly non-human.

Sorry, already married, but interested in the story, the greencard, the prosthetic forehead, and the organ collection (especially as I have all four myself)


In my textbook, there is a graph of detector signals versus retention time.  The retention time axis begin with 28 minutes, then 26, 24, 22, ..... 0.  Why doesn't it start from 0, 2, 4, .......28?  That is my question.

Retention times for chromatographic techniques are usually a function of column length and composition, so listing the retention times from longest to shortest is probably just convention. However, the analyte with the longest retention time should (in theory) be separated best from any other analytes in your solution, but should also be most distorted when it reaches the detector. Perhaps scaling these graphs in such a way is an attempt to illustrate this point.


I am having arthroscopic knee surgery in the beginning of the summer  and wondering if I can get a tattoo before then. I only ask because the last time I had this surgery, one of the pre-op questions involved tattoos. At the  time I wasn't concerned with the issue, so I didn't think to ask. I appreciate any responses from those familiar with this issue. Thank you.

call your local hospital and ask someone there would be your best bet. It is safest if you ask a professional regarding this.


just another way of showing that christianity steals from other religions.

Yep. And Easter is a pagan celebration of spring.


I only have a laptop, but I also have a router and a dsl connection.  Is it possible to rig this as a wireless network so I can take my laptop with me anywhere in my place, also so that other guests can go online with their computers when they are here.

Well you can if you have your laptop constantly connected to the modem and the router.


they called me up on my home phone telling they are dealing with the government grant, and i applied for educational grant. after gettign all information needed from me including my bank account details, they charged my account with $289.95.  i tried cancelling this after an hour but they refused to accept my cancellation.after i learned my account was charged, i didn't hear anymore from them. so, i am trying to find out how to get in touch with them.

As you now know, those claiming to have grants for people or find grants for people for whatever purpose are SCAMS. Unfortunately for you, you gave your account number. I doubt if you can trace them again, but you can try to get your bank to help you. Tell your bank what happened and that you were deceived. I am not sure how that would help, but it is worth a try.\n\nYou can go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) http://www.cfda.gov and Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov - these are two sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/ is the place to go for educational grants.\n\nEven if you buy books on "how to get grants" or list that supposedly has information on grants -- all of them are mere rehash of what CFDA has, albeit packaged differently. But still the info is the same - hardly any grants for starting a for profit business.\n\nFor private grants, you may want to check the Foundation Center's Foundation Grants for Individuals Online. It's a subscription based website ($9.95 per month) but their opening blurb only says that the database is ideal for "students, artists, academic researchers, libraries and financial aid offices." Entrepreneurs are apparently not one of them, so I take it they also don't have listings of private foundations who give grants to would-be entrepreneurs.\n\nI hope you can get your money back. Next time, don't fall easily into these kinds of traps. And NEVER EVER give your bank account information to anyone.


If you like yourself, being chubby isn't a problem. If someone wants to put you down for it, they are just jealous that they can't have the same figure as you.  My opinion, if someone is a size "0" or "1" shouldn't be on this planet!  They are way too small.


If so......am I just a kid at heart or just extremely in need of a life?  Be nice!

Probably not, but one of the few who freely admits it.


I dont, well i dont know maybe it is. But its to early to say right now. ANyway im going traveling for 3 months and she hasnt asked me if i will have sex with anyone, but i will if love finds its way, so she hasnt asked. should i offer to tell he the situation or gloss over it. and also should i have goodbye sex with her tonight? lots of Qs there I know, any help appreciated. she is lovely and attractive and funny and the sex is great , just dont see there being a marriage future..... *sigh*

You could always tell her-" You are very attractive, funny etc..but in the same time I don't feel like marrying you, I "don't see there being a marriage future" and i feel responsible because i care. What do you think we should do? Is it OK with you or you wanna split and waste no more time..?"\n\nIf you want to get married and you're looking for the One and you are sure she is not, being with her no matter how fine it is is waisting her and your time.\nBut if you really enjoy being with her, miss her and she feels the same way too, don't loose her for these are very sweet nice emotions and life is unpredictably short.


personally, i find emotional pain worse to bear...

Emotional pain affects every part of you not just the body, it can alter our feeling about everything & change our life.\nEmotional pain scars out every feeling & emotion we have and can make life unbearable.\nEmotional anguish can also affect health from things like excema & psoriasis from stress to heart attacks and even suicide attempts.\nPhysical pain can be treated with painkillers or an operation emotional pain is much harder to fix, there is no short term solution even counselling & anti-depressants take a couple of months to start working


Ok, it seems this question is asked a lot, but I'd have to say food service is the worst, but it'll make a man out of you. Anything that pays absolute minimum sucks too.

Diving into trash dumpsters to recover pieces of silver\ndinnerware that was accidently scraped into the trash cans\nwith food scraps at the French restr. where I worked. The\ncount had to match up at the end of every shift...if it did not, you took a flashlight and hit the trash dumpsters out\nback in the alley. Lovely.


do football fans really think they can do a better job the the paid proffeionals

Because referee's always seem a good person to blame, visually challenged, bad hair, not too good looking and are about as funny as being shot in the head with an arrow and then discovering there's a gas bill attached to it.


I HAVE TRIED FOR THE LAST FOUR MONTHS SEEKING A LAWYER. I LIVE ON 641 A MONTH SSDI.  SO LIMITED FUNDS. AND SEEMS TO ME LAWYERS DO NOT WANT TO DO ANYTHING OUT OF THE KINDNESS OF THEIR HEART OR FOR THE BENEFIT OF GOOD FEELING.  HELP.  I NEED A FAMILY LAWYER. AND A PRO BONO.  THE BEST LAWYER THAT DID THIS PASSED ON A YEAR AGO.  HELP NEEDED IN JANESVILLE WISCONSIN- EVEN CHECKED LAWYERS.COM FOUND NO HELP CALL STATE BAR NO HELP AND LEGAL AID NO HELP EVEN CALLED A JUSTICE COMMISSION IN MADISON THEY WONT HELP....DESPERATE HERE. SORRY FOR CAPS I HAVE A HARD TIME SEEING.  SO I AM NOT SHOUTING

SOUNDS LIKE YOUR SITUATION IS SIMILAR TO THE ONE I WAS IN SIX YEARS AGO.    IT'S TOUGH TO FIND A pro bono FAMILY LAW LAWYER.  LEGAL AID USUALLY WON'T TOUCH CUSTODY CASES.  LET'S FACE IT, MOST LAWYERS ARE UNETHICAL.  THEY DON'T WORK FOR GOOD FEELINGS OR GOOD CAUSES.  THEY ARE PAID TO LIE FOR BIG BUCKS.  WHAT MAKES THEM HAPPY IS POWER AND MONEY.  (Lawyers,  I said MOST,  not ALL).  SORRY TO BE SO BLUNT HERE, BUT,  IT'S THE TRUTH.  I WISH YOU ALL THE LUCK IN THE WORLD.  I SUGGEST YOU START PREPARING TO LOSE YOUR CASE OR GIVE IT UP WHILE YOU STILL HAVE YOUR SANITY.\n\nI WISH YOU ALL THE LUCK IN THE WORLD.  :>)


I have a fast metabolism and I want to gain some weight fast, so what foods should I eat?

get some high protein stuff like "boost" or "ensure" and drink those. also get some "protein shakes" that are like powder and can mix with milk and stuff to make weight gaining drinks. or just eat a ton of food all the time. i have and incredibly fast metabalism and im incredibly skinny even though i eat more than everyone i know... but to gain weight, those protein and calorie drinks are good stuff.


I'm a former Marine and am thinking about getting a job with a defense contactor in Iraq or Afghanistan.I was wondering if anyone had any experience with this and can give me any heads up.

Sounds great! I wish you luck. I was thinking on similar lines myself. You think these contractors would take in former non-US army personnel? Send me details if you come across any please.


I think it just like the ability to discern something like we all are able to or is there a special abilty to discern something?

Woman's intuition is innate, the reason for this I beleive is because when we have chidren we have to be able to sense just what they are needing because they are unable to tell us, it just so happens because of that,  are intuition allows us to know other things too. Sometimes even things we really don't want to know!  When my son was 10 he was at my sisters and I got a feeling something was wrong so I called and sure enough he was sick (tonsilitis). Another example: I knew my boyfriend was cheating on me, I could sense it. I just didn't know with who, so I bugged him and bugged him, he finally told me It was with 1 of our co-workers named Amy.


well i have wide hips and big thighs...is there any safe way to like lessen my waist and lose some fat in my thighs?

Get on a bike.  Seriously, you burn calories and can enjoy the scenery.  It tightens, firms and lifts the areas you are talking about.  And since you are 13!, you will be growing, so don't worry so much about it.  Get on your bike and go for a ride.


Or face consequences: imprisonment, bannishment etc?

no you do not have the right to refuse. You joined the military and no matter what they tell you to do if it is wrong or right you have to obey the orders. once you sign those contracts for the service you must obey orders. You can face up to a year in the brig and get dishonorable discharge from the military


I've been body building for about 6 months now and I'm not sure how much protein I should be taking.  Some people say about 30 grams a day and others say 1 gram / lb of weight.\n\nI'm 6'3", 220 lbs with about 18% body fat (and going down).\n\nThe other thing is when I should be taking the protein? I do take the protein shortly after a workout session, but do I need to take more protein on the off days as well?

You should be getting 1.5 - 2 grams of protein per lb of bodyweight.  Protein consumption should be all day long with about 2.5 hours in between meals.  Pre and post workout meals should be the most important.  Drink plenty of water in conjunction with eating frequently throughout the day.


If they cannot believe or understand it, then what is their misconception about evolution? Help me our with you opinion please.

Darwin's theory of evolution hasn't been proven, in fact most evidence proves otherwise. A lot of scientists don't believe in evolution. There is no more evidence to support Darwin's theory of evolution today than there was when Darwin came up with the theory. I don't see how anyone could believe in evolution because there isn't enough evidence to support it. Science itself refutes Darwinism.\n\n• According to the theory of evolution, at some time in the distant past there was no life in the universe -- just elements and chemical compounds. Somehow, these chemicals combined and came to life.\n\n• However, scientists don't really know how life came to be. Even Stanley Miller, whose experiments are cited in most biology text books, says that the origin of life is still unknown. The idea that dead material can come to life all by itself is not consistent with scientific observation.\n\n• The leading mathematicians in the century met with some evolutionary biologists and confronted them with the fact that, according to mathematical statistics, the probabilities for a cell or a protein molecule coming into existence were nil. They even constructed a model on a large computer and tried to figure out the possibilities of such a cell ever happening. The result was zero possibility! - Wistar Institute\n\n• Professor Edwin Conklin observed, "The probability of life originating from accident is comparable to the probability of the Unabridged Dictionary resulting from an explosion in a printing shop."\n\n• Under normal circumstances, creatures give birth to the same kind of creatures. It is established scientific fact that like begets like. On rare instances, the DNA in an embryo is damaged, resulting in a mutant child that differs in some respect from its parent. Although a few mutations have been scientifically observed that are beneficial, most mutations produce inferior offspring. For the theory of evolution to be true, there must be a fantastic number of creative mutations that produce new kinds of offspring which are better suited for survival, and therefore are favored by natural selection.\n\n• Darwinists claim that the reptile-to-mammal evolution is well documented. But for reptiles to evolve into mammals at least some of these transformations must have happened: \n• Scales had to have mutated into hair. \n• Breasts had to have evolved from nothing. \n• Externally laid eggs had to evolve into soft-shelled eggs that were nourished by an umbilical cord and placenta in a womb. \n\n• It has never been observed in any laboratory that mutations can cause one species to turn into another. Despite this, evolutionists believe that given enough time, some animals will eventually evolve into other creatures. \n\n• Evolutionists claim that although we have not actually observed these things happening, that does not mean that they are impossible. They say it simply means they are extremely improbable. Evolutionists think the world has been around long enough for all these highly improbable things to happen.\n\n• Sir Fred Hoyle, of Cambridge University stated that statistically the chances of one cell evolving was the same as a tornado passing through a junkyard and giving you a fully functional Boeing 747.\nhttp://www.straight-talk.net/evolution/arguments.shtml\n\n* Scientific evidence casts serious doubts on the theory of evolution, for example:\n\n* The Fossil Record (Updated 3 July, 2005)\nhttp://www.straight-talk.net/evolution/fossil.htm\n\n* Living "Fossils"\nhttp://www.straight-talk.net/evolution/living.htm\n\n* The Cambrian Explosion\nhttp://www.straight-talk.net/evolution/explosion.htm\n\n* New T.Rex Discoveries (Updated 10 June, 2005)\nhttp://www.straight-talk.net/evolution/t-rex.htm\n\n* "Missing Links"\nhttp://www.straight-talk.net/evolution/misslinks.htm \n\n* The Big Bang\n http://www.straight-talk.net/evolution/bigbang.htm\n\n* Anthropic Principle


what is it? how does it works? what are the effect?

The way I just learned it these are terms describing cortical organization (brain). Ipsilateral control means that the right hemisphere controls a function on the right side of the body. Contralateral means that the function is crosswired, as most are, so somthing going on in your right side, lets say some incoming stimuli will be prossesed by your left hemisphere of the brain.


ms update icon in the tray, it fails to install the announced updates & it dosn't dissapear either.\nhelp to install the updates or remove the icon is needed

It's probably still downloading the update then. I know when we had dial-up the icon would stay there forever, since it took so long to get the update downloaded. It should eventually disappear.


I just moved into a new house and I want to invite my co-workers over for a party. However, there is one person I work with who I do not get along with and I would not be comfortable with that person at my house. We work in a very small office so word gets around fast. I want to invite everyone to the party except this person and I do not want her to know about the party. How can I pull this off with out letting her know about it?

BAD idea. Invite her. If you two do not get along, chances are she would not come anyway. If you don't invite JUST her, word WILL get around. If not before the party, then after. Someone will slip. It's not fair to other co-workers to ask them to keep quiet about the party. Invite her. Be cordial to her at the party if she shows up. Don't let her ruin your party by being miserable all day.


where can i go to make a free website that i can put videos and not just pictures on?

The problem with free hosting is that it limits the amount of bandwith that a user can have. This is logical, since the company has to support many free accounts, and supporting mass amounts of bandwith can be expensive, especially when they're not receiving any money from the consumer. Therefore, the best idea is to create a site on Yahoo, or Freewebs, or a similar domain, and then create links to either www.youtube.com, or www.putfile.com, and host the videos there.\n\nHope this helps!


we are guardians of a girl who has been with us for 6 years. The mother is getting better where she can maybe get her back in the next year or two.  The grandparents want her.  The childs dream is to be with her mom.  child is 10.  we need to find court cases that the court system will listen to the child and let her stay until mom is better

Generally I would say the child is better off with the parent, but it depends on what you mean by getting better.\nIf the mother is a drug addict than it is best to make sure the mother really is clean before the child is sent back to her.  If the mother was physically sick than obviously the child should go back to her.

my x- boy friend just go out of jail and he wants to go back out wit me but he also have a girl friend as well as i have a boy friend

It would be wrong for you two to hook up since you are both in relationships with other people.  Maybe you could just be friends with him as long as you don't have any lingering feelings for him.  If you do, then you should just leave it alone before someone gets hurt (whether it be emotionally or physically).


i fell in love with someone in one of the chatrooms and im married but not happy the other guy makes me happy also hes in the uk i think about him all the time

meet him, have sex, and see how you feel afterwards..


for many years but the more compicated characters are almost impossible for me to see when written in type this size...Do they just guess from a radical that they can see or what...do they just guess from the context what this character is?  I'm talking about traditional characters as opposed to simplified.

I'm working and studying in Taiwan, where we use traditional Chinese characters. Recognition was a serious problem for me until I started learning how to write the characters. Yes, I still can't see all the strokes, but somehow I can recognize even the most intricate characters far easier after practicing to write them. Guessing from radicals are very dangerous, because the characters with more that 15 strokes often have more than one radical in them (or so it seems to someone learning the language). You could guess totally wrong if you think you see a radical, but it's not really the correct radical but a set of strokes similar to some radicals.\nGood luck! I know it's not so easy, but try the writing bit. It works for me.


suppose i give my laptop to sombody but i don't wann give him access to a perticular drive like c:, d: and so on. for that reason can i give password to it?

Not as far as I know, there might be some third party software that allows it, but the best way to do it would be to set up a temporary guest account that he/she can use while accessing your laptop.


f in F[x] is irreduciable of degree 5.Let K  be  quadratic  field extension of  F. Prove f  remains irreduciable over K

Let f(x) be an irreducible quintic over F.  Observe that if x_1 is a root of f(x), then the Galois automorphisms permute them.  The assumption that f(x) is an irreducible quintic means that the field L = F(x_1) is of degree 5 over F.  This is because there is a 5-cycle that permutes the roots.\n\nLet K/F be a quadratic extension.  Assume that f(x) does *not* remain irreducible in K.  Then f(x) either has a linear factor x-a or a quadratic factor x^2 + a x + b.  In the first case, a = x_1 is a root of f(x), so that L = F(x_1) = K is a quadratic extension of F.  In the second case, x_1^2 + a x_1 + b = 0, so that L = F(x_1) is a quadratic extension of K, and hence L/F is an extension of degree 4.  In either case, L/F is an extension of degree less than 5.  This is a contradiction.

After graduating from High school, I decided to go back to the Philippines to pursue a career in BS Nursing. I enrolled at Central Luzon Doctor's Hospital Educational Institution. My first year in that college was great and I admired their standards of teaching and the facilities that they give. I even thought that this is the place for me but there was a problem, the school wasn't accredited to accept international students. So I transferred to Pangasinan College of Science and Technology. From the start I felt uneased and I wasn't quite sure if I would still continue my career here at their college because I wasn't used to their standard of teaching. In our life, we look up to many people not only because they are famous but because of the many good deeds they have done and when I think about these deeds, the first thing that comes in my  mind are the  Nurses. I admire them because they know how to commisserate with patients.Nursing is a course that is related to science and my favorite aspect of this course are Human Biology, Chemistry for Health Studies and Physics for Health Studies because through these courses, I understand more the various parts that make up our body and the proper way of taking care of it.

"Uneased" isn't exactly a word.  You might as well go with "uneasy".\n\nAnd the section starting with "In our life..." doesn't flow from the preceding section.  You should start a new paragraph if you want to go on talking about that.  It would also be more proper to say "In a person's life, he or she...", as the impersonal second person voice usually doesn't have a place in formal writing.\n\nOtherwise, looks good.


The cable box is located on my property and they come and go as they please without notifying me that they will be there, i consider it an invasion of my privacy, for i walk around my house in tshirts. i have asked to have someone knock on my door and they never do, they leave my gate open and are rude when asked for id.

If its on your property and its not yours, which doesnt make sense, call the company to remove it. They have to access it to do their job. But you do have a right to ask for ID. That you can report. But the company will laugh at you and say they are doing their job.

Ball skills, passing, and/or pure scoring?

Ronaldo has been one of the best forwards player in the football history, even tough, currently Ronaldinho is playing at a highest level, he is probably the best player in the world. C.Ronaldo is pretty far from the level of the first two.


i'm now having a problem on how to make the best water rocket for my school's science project. i'm in a high school.

Lemonade bottle (fins will help) and a water/air ratio of 1/3 : 2/3 makes a good starting point. The rest is good old trial and error!


Please write how it does the effect and what is in them.

Nothing good! The nicotine causes a temporary feeling of well being, but it is addicting. There are also many other chemicals in it which are harmful. Inhaling these chemicals harms the lungs,organs that are a major detoxifier of the body. That's why smoking kills: the lungs are damaged and the bodies ability to detox itself is greatly diminshed=everything else being gradually poisoned in the body. Cancer is created from the damaged, mutant cells in the lungs...the cancer also spreads to other parts of the body via the circulatory system (capillaries in the lungs and surrounding tissues)...then the body is so toxic it breaks down completely-and dies.


it seems like if your not going to the club now there bored..\n\nanother question i wanted to ask is how do u get rid of someone u dont want to hang out with anymore

To answer the first part of the question... if you are picking up women in clubs, then you have to accept the fact that they are more likely to enjoy a more exciting atmosphere than just a walk in the park etc... Be a little more choosey and take the time to find out if you have common interests besides the club scene. For the second part, direct honesty is the only solution. Put yourself in the shoes of the person you want to end this friendship with...how would you like to be told? Figure that out, and you have your answer. Peace.


Go ye and tell that fox: Behold\nI cast out devils & I do cures\nto day and to mmorrow (1 - 2000AD?)\nand the third [day] I shall be perfected.\n\nThe "third day" is also the seventh,\nwhen counting days in John 1 - 2:1.\nhttp://www.godshew.org/ThirdDay.htm\n\nProblem is, Jesus played two parts(sons),\nand the perfection of the Son of man is\nas "destroy them all"...is as extinction.\nWhereas perfection of the Son of God is\nas "grace is sufficient" (no law req'd).\nhttp://www.godshew.org/Revelations10.htm

Pharisees now come to Jesus and say: “Get out and be on your way from here, because Herod [Antipas] wants to kill you.” It may be that Herod himself started this rumor to cause Jesus to flee from the territory. Herod may have been afraid of becoming involved in the death of another prophet of God as he was in the killing of John the Baptizer. But Jesus tells the Pharisees: “Go and tell that fox, ‘Look! I am casting out demons and accomplishing healing today and tomorrow, and the third day I shall be finished.’”\n\nAfter finishing his work there, Jesus continues his journey toward Jerusalem because, as he explains, “it is not admissible for a prophet to be destroyed outside of Jerusalem.” Why is it to be expected that Jesus would be killed in Jerusalem? Because Jerusalem is the capital city, where the 71-member Sanhedrin high court is located and where the animal sacrifices are offered. Therefore, it would be inadmissible for “the Lamb of God” to be killed anywhere but in Jerusalem.\n\nThe fox is well known for its craftiness, and perhaps with reference to this characteristic Jesus Christ spoke of King Herod as “that fox.”

they both run on Macs but which one is better?\nI want to make music videos for money.  I use a professional Avid system at work for editing but i need something at home.

Hi again!\n\nI have had training on avid DV and I use final Cut daily. I think where you are used to using Avid and you like it, you might as well stick with it, provided you can afford it. That being said I prefer Final Cut Pro, because it has a very nice user interface that allows me to work in several different ways (Like dragging clips around on the time line and right into the timeline from the bin with out trimming first.)\n\nI also think that Final Cut has great features like color correction and special effects built right into the program in a very easy to use interface. In my training class with Avid I did not see that same type of power in an easy to use format. It might be there but I never saw it.\n\nTo be perfectly honest, with music videos it isn't going to matter what you cut with. You will need to do some post and effects with adobe after effects and/or Motion 2. I would look at the least expensive solution that gets you either after effects or motion or both. (That is my opinion of course but if I could get imovie with motion 2 I could make some pretty neat stuff!)\n\nTalk to you soon,\nTony\nPS if you want to ask anything directly feel free to contact me.


I've been throwing disc for 2 years and how can I throw around 135.

You need to find a good coach.  Are you using the same techniques as other discus throwers you compete against?  Do you ever watch the sport on t.v. and see athletes doing anything different than you?\n\nI remember I threw discus a couple of times in high school, and when I got to my first competition, I realized that my coach didn't know jack about the discus - or the shot for that matter.  I had to teach myself.  Needless to say, I didn't do very well.


i have a girlfriend who gave me her email address and password but i told her i was never gonna use it...so i decided to go in to her email and i saw that a girl and her are ...uh. flirting i guess...and making plans to see each other. i dont know what to do...i told her i was never gonna use her email password....and i dont want to say nothing if i am over reacting..but i also dont want to be the on who gets hurt...what should i do

umm... wow... umm... hmm... wow\nFirst of all, let me understand this.\nYou're a lesbian?\nShe's cheating on you?\nWith another lezbian?\numm... wow... umm... hmm... wow\nDon't over react. \nIt could be someone coming onto HER.\numm... wow... umm... hmm... wow\nBut then again, she would have had to have been the one to give out her E-mail.\nWouldn't she?\numm... wow... umm... hmm... wow\nPlus, you can't tell her that you went into her E-mail when you said you wouldn't. But then, why would she give you the address in the first place if she didn't want you to see it?\numm... wow... umm... hmm... wow\nOkay, she might be testing you. Don't come right out and ask her about it though. \numm... wow... umm... hmm... wow\nOkay, here's the plan.\nPlan A\nFirst, go back into her E-mail folder, and record the date and time in which they are planing to meet. Then, up untill that date, act really suspicious. In the middle of acting suspicious, be intamate, you know, make her feel guilty, tell her all your dirty little secrets, and ask for hers in return. This will probably make her crack. If not, go onto plan b.\nPlan B\nRight before the suposed time of her meeting, try to seduce her. Or anything else that would stall her. If she is acting strange, like she would rather be somewhere else, put her on the spot ask her why. If she doesn't crack now, move onto plan c.\nPlan C\nNow, on the time of the meeting, if she is nowhere to be seen, call her. Talk about your relationship or anything that would make her nervouse on a date, and make it long.If she is in a rush to hang up put her on the spot and ask her about it. Act suspicious. This will probably make her crack, If not continue to put her in an awkward position. Ask her what she is doing, where she is who she's with and ask to come over with her or for her to come over to you. Put even more pressure on her if she says no. This will probably make her crack.\n\n\nSomewhere along the line, she will crack. When she does, E-mail me and tell me about it, pupieluver123456@yahoo.com\n\n\nafter she tells you about her dirty little secret, it could result in 9 ways.\n-3sum\n-she will break up with her\n-3sum\n-she will break up with you\n-3sum\n-you will break up with her\n-3sum\n-you will break up with her and go out with her internet friend\n-3sum\n\ndon't forget to e-mail me\n(excuse my spelling)

I am looking for a free downloadable template for "cease and desist letter" I have a creditor that continues to call EVERYDAY like clock work.  Since causing the debt, I have become increasingly disabled and cannot work. My income is lower then dirt.  Does anyone know of a free site to get this template?  I have tried the search engine and continue to find letters for persons that are filing bankruptcy.  I am not doing so.  And in reality do not forsee paying this debt off even in the near future. "unless win lottery" oops need to buy ticket...that is not in my pitiful budget.  Barely able to live, basic food shelter phone and of course car payment.  I was told that a car is not as important as this bill of four hundred dollars. Per them.  I need this letter to get them to quit calling me. I believe that is the course of action.

Check this site out.  If you cannot find the form letter, you will at least find the wording to write your own.\n\nRemember the quote "Illegitimis nil carborundum" (Don't let the bastards get you down!!!)


How many proofs can you think of for Pythogoras theorum? What are they?

64 proofs\nexplanation\nProof #1\nThis is probably the most famous of all proofs of the Pythagorean proposition. It's the first of Euclid's two proofs (I.47). The underlying configuration became known under a variety of names, the Bride's Chair likely being the most popular.\n\n    \n\nThe proof has been illustrated by an award winning Java applet written by Jim Morey. I include it on a separate page with Jim's kind permission.\n\nFirst of all, ABF = AEC by SAS. This is because, AE = AB, AF = AC, and\n\n  BAF = BAC + CAF = CAB + BAE = CAE.\n \n\nABF has base AF and the altitude from B equal to AC. Its area therefore equals half that of square on the side AC. On the other hand, AEC has AE and the altitude from C equal to AM, where M is the point of intersection of AB with the line CL parallel to AE. Thus the area of AEC equals half that of the rectangle AELM. Which says that the area AC2 of the square on side AC equals the area of the rectangle AELM.\n\nSimilarly, the are BC2 of the square on side BC equals that of rectangle BMLD. Finally, the two rectangles AELM and BMLD make up the square on the hypotenuse AB.\n\nThe configuration at hand admits numerous variations. B. F. Yanney and J. A. Calderhead (Am Math Monthly, v.4, n 6/7, (1987), 168-170 published several proofs based on the following diagrams\n\n   \n\n\n\nProof #2\n    \n\nWe start with two squares with sides a and b, respectively, placed side by side. The total area of the two squares is a2+b2.\n\n    \n\nThe construction did not start with a triangle but now we draw two of them, both with sides a and b and hypotenuse c. Note that the segment common to the two squares has been removed. At this point we therefore have two triangles and a strange looking shape.\n\n    \n\nAs a last step, we rotate the triangles 90o, each around its top vertex. The right one is rotated clockwise whereas the left triangle is rotated counterclockwise. Obviously the resulting shape is a square with the side c and area c2.\n\n(A variant of this proof is found in an extant manuscript by Thâbit ibn Qurra located in the library of Aya Sofya Musium in Turkey, registered under the number 4832. [R. Shloming, Thâbit ibn Qurra and the Pythagorean Theorem, Mathematics Teacher 63 (Oct., 1970), 519-528]. ibn Qurra's diagram is similar to that in proof #27. The proof itself starts with noting the presence of four equal right triangles surrounding a strangenly looking shape as in the current proof #2. These four triangles correspond in pairs to the starting and ending positions of the rotated triangles in the current proof. This same configuration could be observed in a proof by tesselation.)\n\n\n\nProof #3\n    \n\nNow we start with four copies of the same triangle. Three of these have been rotated 90o, 180o, and 270o, respectively. Each has area ab/2. Let's put them together without additional rotations so that they form a square with side c.\n\n    \n\nThe square has a square hole with the side (a-b). Summing up its area (a-b)2 and 2ab, the area of the four triangles (4·ab/2), we get\n\n  c2 = (a-b)2+2ab \n  = a2-2ab+b2+2ab \n  = a2+b2 \n \n\n\n\nProof #4\n    \n\nThe fourth approach starts with the same four triangles, except that, this time, they combine to form a square with the side (a+b) and a hole with the side c. We can compute the area of the big square in two ways. Thus\n\n  (a + b)2 = 4·ab/2 + c2  \n\nsimplifying which we get the needed identity.\n\n\n\nProof #5\n\nThis proof, discovered by President J.A. Garfield in 1876 [Pappas], is a variation on the previous one. But this time we draw no squares at all. The key now is the formula for the area of a trapezoid - half sum of the bases times the altitude - (a+b)/2·(a+b). Looking at the picture another way, this also can be computed as the sum of areas of the three triangles - ab/2 + ab/2 + c·c/2. As before, simplifications yield a2+b2=c2.\n\nTwo copies of the same trapezoid can be combined in two ways by attac


Anyone have personal experience with or know anyone who has  this brian malformation? Have already searched internet, looking for insight you can't find on Google. Thanks.

I was diagnosed with Arnold Chiari Malformation in 1999.  By my own personal choice I have not had the decompression surgery.  I encounter pain daily and the pressure from my cerebral spinal fluid having a blockage problem.  When there is a change in the weather that involves the barometeric pressure I can really feel that. I try not to reach for things over my head or lift heavy things as that brings about symptoms.  Feel free to email me if you want.  xyzfree2002@yahoo.com.


What chemicals make it as it is? What is a nebula?

Nubulas do not really have those wonderfull colors you see in photos made by the habbel telescope and such. Those colors are computer generated to facilitate recognizing the different regions and/or components of the nebulae.


it is little tiny bumps, really itchy, sometimes when i scratch they bleed just a bit...kind of look like little tiny zits...could it be an std or std related...any sort of underlying cause?

Sounds like eczema/dermatitis.  I have it and it comes and goes.  A medication cream through my doctor, Mometasone Furoate Cream 0.1% (brand is Fougera) is the only medication I have found to clear it up fast...and I have tried many medications.  You could try an over-the-counter Hydrocortizone with Aloe 1% or higher if you want to try to fix it on your own. Any brand, in the medicine isle will have it.  It will help with the itching for now. I would see a dermatologist if you can.\n\n*** Oh and eczema is NOT an STD it's just a skin condition that's treatable and has no other side effects.  Don't worry :)


This concerns terrestrial vertebrates...

The diffusion of gas across a membrane requires that the membrane be wet.  If the wet membrane were on the surface the animal would quickly dry out.  Since the exchange is located deep in a lung there is opportunity for the water to be recovered before exhaling.

I used to be a number 1 wrestling fan. To me, matches look real. Some matches even become bloody. I could watch wrestling for hours and not get sleepy...until I read an article which stated that wrestling matches are done with predetermined moves and results. In other words, they are done purely for entertainment and NOT for competition. There are NO real winners (not like in boxing or UFC martial arts matches). The ring is just a stage filled with boisterous and egocentric players...Since that time, I began to lose interest in that sport...Are the matches NOT real? Is wrestling really a HOAX?

It is pure entertainment. But then again, you could say that ALL sports are a hoax; as there is a lot of match fixing going on between both individuals and team sports. So instead of losing interest in the sport, just take it with a 'pinch of salt' and accept it as it is - PURE ENTERTAINMENT'


I mean really, are these people Americans or not?

total number of pages versus total number of advertising pages.... how much impact does advertising actually have for a start-up business? what are average costs? are contracts involved or is it just done on a publication to publication basis?

actually I read that is about 75% ads on a magazine, however for a business is good to have not all advertising, but clever and enough advertising that gets the attention of people.  The costs I can't tell you for sure, but is usually really expensive, I guess in a magazine is done with a contract between major and magazine reps and small magazines or places is usually on publication by publication basis.

First off he is married so I am not interested in him THAT way. Also, I do not find him attrative physically, well if he takes his glasses off his eyes are nice, but that is it. He is moody, but one of his moods we get along so good. He is intellectually stimulating and has a good sense of humor. I don't talk much around him because I have learned not to trust his moods around me. I work in a room with him alot, every day for hours. I feel sometimes we really get along. For some reason I feel like I am always trying to prove something to him, prove that I have a wild side, that I don't fit in the box of his symetrical, perfect, world. I think about him alot and wonder if I'll run into him downtown, and have had a few dreams where he had a role in it. This bugs me, although it is not a huge problem because it is just a work thing and I don't talk to him much anymore. Besides he is done work in a few months. Does anyone know why he is in my head? lol, anyone.. opinions pleas

he completes u....lol....to be serious u are mentally and emotionally attractive to him.


It's only 10:00, but I should get some sleep.

Thats a good question.  The answer prob. has the word "pathetic" in it, but as it equally applies to me, I'll let it alone!


My husband has the opportunity to take another job temporarily in another city for a year.  we have just bought a new house because we were supposed to stay put, no more moving around for awhile.  he is currently away at another job and our marriage was rocky before he left. ive been independent for almost 10 months and have gotten used to not having him around. when he gets home he wants to take this other job because it would be a great opportunity for him to get some new work experience.  he would have to start work in september. he of course wants me to go withhim and i do not want to go because i have a great job now and like i said we just bought a new house in this city that he was supposed to be stable at for awhile.  we close on it at the end of the month. so its brand new we havent even moved into it yet.  he thinks this move will help our marriage.  i dont want to go with him when he returns.  what do you think i should do? we argue about me staying or going all the time.

Well, is there anyway of compromise? Is the distance between the place of his new job in september and your stable job place too great to commute from a place that's in between the two places?  \n\nIf it is commutable distance for you two, then I suggest that you and your husband staying in a rental home or a reasonably priced apartment that's nearer to your two job places and renting your new house or keeping it for your selves for later.  After all, being so far apart from your husband seems to hurt your relationship with him to the point that it might lead to a bigger issue in future (like god forbid, a divorce).  Communication and intimacy are important keys in a relationship; without them, a person can lose many things in life that he/she might regret later.\n\nHowever, if the distance seems to be too great, then you can stay in your new home by yourself while your husband again goes to the job place and works but I would like to suggest that you two take many oppurtunities that you can to make up for the lessened communication and intimacy in your lives by visiting in the weekends or monthly (whatever suits your schedules).\n\nWhile stable jobs are important to life, a stable relationship is also important to life.  It's up to you two to calmly figure out the balance between the supporting your relationship while having jobs so that both will be happy in the end instead of being frustrated about not understanding the different levels of importance the two of you give to the relationship and work.  After all, you two are individuals and as such you two have different ideas and beliefs over what's important to each of your lives.  To find out the differences and to understand and respect eachother's ideas and beliefs, please do talk seriously about it so that you two can better balance between your relationship and works.\n\nGood luck!


For example,a lady has stopped having sex for some years now,so she claims she's a virgin just cos she feels no one can tell the difference whether she is,or isnt a virgin.Can a doctor,tell if she isn't truly a virgin?

Probably not, the hymen could break itself from a fall or exercises. Unless she had really rough sex then maybe there could be scaring, but it is very unlikely.


we are in a relationship for 5years and for 3 years everything seems perfect but over the past two years i feel that he is been distance and he is not taking care me either physically or emotionally. and when i told him whether he is seeing someone else he says no but i told him why arent you llike b4 he just say that he is too busy with work now and he is growing mature he want to biuld a home for us and get settle now. but it seems he dont have time for me for anything he says that he cant mess like kids like we were b4. what should i do. soemtime when i push him too much he says to me thats why some girls cheat on their partner b/c they dont get enough or they are been rejected like im saying to him that u dont time for me for even a hug coz u jus tell me ur tired.. but im not thinking so coz i love him but im wooried whether he might left me. i love him very much .HELp.

I think its cool that he is thinking about your future and trying to work hard to make better for both of you. You should understand him little bit more. Listen to what he says and take for what he's telling you, not for signs of cheating and don't think he is going to leave you because he obviosly cares. I completely understand that you might feel lonley sometimes. I've been there too, with my husband working long hours, but all you have to do is talk to him. Let him know that you miss him sometimes and that you need affection. Try to understand each other with out making an argument about it. Lots of Luck.

Which Role of the President of the United States is most important and why: Chief executor, commander in chief, chief diplomat, legislative leader, party leader, chief of state, judicial role of the president.?

Great question.  Nearly every role requires the president to share power with Congress.  As Chief Executive, the budgets of the departments are controlled by Congress and the department heads confirmed by Senate votes.  As chief diplomat, all treaties must be ratified by the Senate.  As appointer of the federal judiciary, his or her picks must be ratified by the Senate.  As Commander in Chief, it is Congress that declares war.  Having said all that, the key role in which the most leeway will be granted is as commander in chief.

on a drug recent urine drug screen i tested positive for Meth-a-phetamine ..and i have NEVER EVER done crystal meth-AM-phetamine..and i was furious !! so i called the laboratory and grilled them over how this could happen..and the lady told me that Meth-A-phetamine is not "crystal-meth-AM-phetamine" and that many over the counter cold meds will make a person test positive for this CLASS of drugs..is this true?...i have a $4,000 emergency room bill that my insurance co is trying to denying because they wont cover any claim involving criminal activity..so im fighting this tooth and nail..Has anyone had a similar experience ? i was tested for 9 drugs Meth-A-phetamine,opiates,cocaine,THC,phencyclidine,benzodiazepines,barbituates,trycyclics, and AMphetamine and was negative on all except the methaphetamine...and the lady told me not to worry because it wasnt illegal..but im still very upset..PS i was never charged with any crime

What you tested positive for is a drug called psudoephedrine.  It's one of the many household items that is used to manufacture illegal methamphetimines and also commonly used in OTC medications for colds.


suppose we want to calculate machining cost what are the parameters and cost that we should consider so that we can estimate machining cost

The best way is to measure it in a machine shop.  I've measured my time in machining and found there are two important numbers to know: 1) how long it takes to remove a cubic cm of material, and 2) how long it takes to clean up and setup for the next machining operation.  \n\nThe first number (material removal rate) is surprisingly small - it takes longer than you might think to remove a cubic cm of material (my range in tool steel runs 0.1-1 cu. inch/hour; less in softer materials).\n\nThe second number may surprise you also - it takes hours to break down, clean up, and setup for the next machining job.  Eventually you will develop a rules for particular jobs, for example, to put a "slide" in a mold base takes about 40 hours (just to cut the slide, not including the cavity pins).\n\nIf you are in production, such as screw machines, the second number is less significant because you can distribute the cost over the volume of the production.\n\nTo simplify: the most efficient typical cutting tool in terms of material removal is the lathe, followed by the drill, then milling, then fine machining, then finish grinding.  To the extent you can use the more efficient tools to remove material, the quicker the work can be done.  The bigger and more robust machine tools can remove more cubic cm/hr, but generally you are stuck with the tools you have.\n\nThere are straightforward calculations for surface feet per minute machining speeds depending on tools and metal to be cut, but this information is not really conclusive in estimating machining costs because setup and finish machining take so much longer than the material removal rate would indicate.  Estimate finish machining cu. cm/hr to be 10 times longer than rough machining unless you have a reason to believe it is shorter.\n\nThe way to calculate the total machining cost is by using a worksheet with all the operations step-by-step, including setup & breakdown, with estimates for time at each step.  For the machining steps, if you have no estimate, use about 0.5 cubic cm/hour unless you have reason to think more can be removed.  If you think this is too slow, run a test first because it takes longer than you might think.  \n\nI would say to ask a machinist, but they won't tell you as they guard this information closely, because it is the core of their business.  This is why it is good if you keep track of how long each machining operation takes when you do it.\n\nOne machinist kept extremely detailed records on networked computers on the shop floor how long each operation took, so he knew exactly how long a job would take.  His competition didn't; he never took a job he would lose money on, while his competition did.  He is still in business - they are not.\n\nIn short, it is best to confirm/develop yourself with your own tools the actual times needed to create your machining costs - there is no shortcut.


I'm starting work on a feature film that requires a genetics laboratory. Are there any genetics students, scientists, or equipment suppliers that can tell me what equipment would be used and it's function?. I'm also looking for a genetics consultant based in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.

1.) Thermalcycler: machine that accomodates microcentrifuge tubes (or 96 well plates) and allows for a series of quick changes among set temperatures at set durations.  Vital for PCR and a host of other techniques.  Can double as a water bath.\n2.) Water bath: allows for uniformly holding a sample at a certain temperature.\n3.) Refrigerator: storage at cool temperature.\n4.) Freezer: storage at cold temperature.\n5.) Ultracold freezer: storage at liquid N temperature.\n6.) Incubator: storage at warm temperature (important for cloning of genes in bacteria).\n7.) Fume hood: pulls toxic fumes out of room.\n8.) Gel rigs: 1D agarose gel rigs, 2D gel rigs, acrylamide gel rig.  Used to separate and visualize genes and protein.\n9.) Centrifuge: Probably several of different sizes (and perhaps temperature).  Separate heavy or solid stages from lighter stages.\n10.) Shakers: ranging from mild agitation to vigorous vortexes.  Mixes substances and keeps them mixed.  You will regularly see these slowly going in the background of any genetics lab.\n11.) Microwave: cooking substances (like agarose).\n12.) Ethidium bromide bath (or other stains/destains): visualization of DNA/proteins in gels.\n13.) UV box with mounted camera: see EtBr flouresce and record.\n14.)

The following (among others) are often in cluster facilities or are seen in one person's lab but accessed by several geneticists:  automated sequencer, automated DNA extraction, microarray, cell imaging microscope, electron microscope, fragment sizer, etc.


my spouse and daughter have joined forces.  they are playing these mind games on me.   so I'm playing along.  the're so stupid, they really believe they're getting away with it!!!!     I think they need serious help.

start telling each of them stories so it gets back to them\nlittle stuff even stupid stuff..like I think I a going to cook a ham this weekend..make them believe you are going to cook a  ham\nand make a steak instead..\nand just mess with their minds..\ntell them ( at least several days before )you are taking some time to yourself and going out to a movie with friends..then rent a movie and make pop corn and stay home\n\nand tell them you heard that dad said this or the daughter said that..and tell them that the other said it..you can have so much fun with t his..so have a lot of fun..sooner or later they will come to you ans start asking questions and then you will have them where you want them..\nGood Luck\nhave fun\nand remember smile...


I am looking for a place to talk to someone who is having a rotten time here (like me). Perhaps he or she and I would share other similarities other than our dislike of Texas. I have no friends here by choice, a choice that would change if I could find a decent person to befriend. A girl can hope...

Maybe the problem isn't Texas or the people here. You say that you have no friends here by choice and you more than likely project that point of view to the folks you come in contact with which is not conducive to having a good time or making friends. Texas is just like every other state in some aspects, we have good people and a few morons. If you are a little more outgoing you will find that most Texans are very friendly and will go out of their way to help you.\n If you are in San Antonio and can't find anything to do someone must have you chained in a closet. San Antonio is a diverse city with a lot of activities.\n I get the feeling that you are not there by choice and have made up your mind before hand to have a miserable time. If that's the case then you are doing yourself a great disservice and missing out on a lot.


my dr said it is very common and i want to see how common they are. its the worse feeling in the world for any one who may have them. does any one have any advice?

Yes, I have them and they are scary.  I've had them a long time but now they are pretty much under control since I take a ridiculous amount of Xanex every day.  Meditation for 30 minutes a day with relaxing music also helps me keep my thoughts in order.  When you feel one coming on...think of something that makes you really happy and take long deep slow breaths.\n\nHope this helps!  :)

A RIDDLE THAT'LL KILL YOUR BRAIN!\n>\n>This is going to make you so MAD!\n>\n>There are three words in the English language that end in "gry".\n>ONE is angry and the other is hungry. Everyone knows what the third ONE\n>means and what it stands for. Everyone uses them everyday, and if you\n>listened very carefully, I've given you the third word.\n>\n>\n>What is it? _______gry?

This  \npuzzler may indeed "KILL YOUR BRAIN!" and "make you so MAD!" -- it certainly has left plenty of victims racking their brains and scratching their heads in decades past. If you don't already know the answer to this one, let us help you preserve your sanity and whatever gray matter you may have left by telling you . . . there is no answer. Other than 'hungry' and 'angry,' there is no English word ending with the letters 'gry' which the average native speaker of English would recognize, much less "use every day" (and certainly none which a teller of this riddle could claim to have "already given you"). \n\nAll other words ending in 'gry' which one might find in even the most comprehensive English dictionary are either archaic terms or obsolete variant spellings, such as: \n\n\naggry: variegated glass beads of ancient manufacture, mentioned by various 19th-century writers as having been found buried in parts of Africa. \n\nbegry: an obsolete 15th-century spelling of the word 'beggary' (i.e., extreme poverty). \n\nconyngry: an obsolete 17th-century spelling of the even more obsolete word 'conynger' (like 'cunningaire' and 'conygarth,' a term meaning 'rabbit warren'). \n\ngry: a unit of measurement proposed by English philosopher John Locke in his 1690 "Essay Concerning Human Understanding." \n\nhigry-pigry: a corruption (along with 'hickery-pickery' and 'hicra picra') of the Greek 'hiera picra' (approximately 'sacred bitters'), a term for many medicines in the Greek pharmacopoeia, particularly a purgative drug composed of aloes and canella bark. \n\niggry: an early 20th century British army slang borrowing from the Arabic 'ijri, meaning 'Hurry up!" \n\nmeagry: a rare and obsolete early 17th-century variant meaning 'meager-looking.' \n\nmenagry: obsolete 18th-century alternate spelling of 'menagerie.' \n\nnangry: a rare and obsolete 17th-century variant of 'angry.' \n\npodagry: a 17th-century variant spelling of 'podagra,' a medical lexicon term for 'gout.' \n\npuggry: a 19th-century alternate spelling of 'puggaree' or 'puggree,' derived from the Hindi 'pagri,' a word for a light turban or head covering worn in India. \n\nskugry: a 16th-century variant spelling of 'scuggery,' meaning 'concealment' or 'secrecy.' \nSo, what's the point to this puzzler if it has no answer? Some people maintain that is the point: the question was deliberately conceived as an irritating brain-teaser with no correct answer. The roundabout phrasing of the question suggests otherwise, however -- more likely it was designed as a trick question rather than a trivia question, perhaps one whose wording has been corrupted over time or whose gimmick was only apparent when the question was delivered orally. \n\nThe most common guess is that this riddle is indeed a trick question, but the point of the trick has been lost through the rearrangement of the riddle's wording as it has been passed along through the years. Consider an alternate version of this puzzler: \n\nThink of words ending in -GRY. Angry and hungry are two of them. There are only three words in the English language. What is the third word? The word is something that everyone uses every day. If you have listened carefully, I have already told you what it is. \nThis version supports the theory that the first two sentences are red herrings; the catch is that the teller is literally asking you to identify the third word of the phrase "the English language" -- there are only three words in the phrase "the English language," the third word ("language") describes something that one uses every day, and "language" is indeed a word which the teller has "already told you."

my team and i are training now for a soccer tournament in florida called State Cup. we advanced to the second round and are trying to get in our best physical shape to outlast and eventually outhustle the other teams.

I would train as usual because the more worked up you get the worse you play. Don't put it in full mode practicing. Just practice about half an hour more than you usually do. No need to get all worked up about it.


I dont mean like it is 3 o'clock. I mean do you think that time is like a stream of light so it is a different "time" litteraly in a galexy a billion light years from here? stuff like that.

Time is simply a measurement. That's it. Nothing more-a measurement. Even in other galaxies events happen. There is a sequence to events. Time is how we keep track of what happened first. Time is not a stream of light. I believe they call that "light", or gammas, or whatever else you wish. This is a subject that has confused many a great mind by overcomplication.


You have a telescope that is made up of a small convex mirror (on the left) facing a larger concave mirror (on the right) that is 0.75 m away. The larger concave mirror has a hole in the center to allow the reflected light from the convex mirror to make an image that is on the other side of the concave mirror. The concave mirror has a radius of curvature of 2.0 m and the smaller of 60 cm. How far from the smaller mirror (to the right of both the mirrors) should the film plane be located if the object is a star?

This sounds like a homework question?  Maybe I shouldn't give you the whole answer, so you can learn something on your own.\n\nYou are describing a Cassegrain telescope.  You can use the mirror formula to calculate the image plane for the first optic (the concave mirror) and then use that as the object plane for the second optic (the convex mirror) to get your final focal image plane.\n\nMirror Equation:  (1/So) + (1/Si) = -2/R\n\nSo = object plane (distance from object to mirror)\nSi = image plane (distance from image to mirror)\nR  = radius of curvature of mirror\n\nThe hardest part of these calculations is to use the right sign convention and to remember that the stars (initial object plane) can be treated as at infinity.


Do you believe in the Gospel of Judas? \n\nYou can also give any comments.

No. But then i dont believe in anything Christian either. \n\nThe Gospel of Judas shows that the gospels were written not about historical facts, but from the theology of the authors. If a gospel author believed something, he wrote a story to 'prove' what he believed. The author of the gospel of Judas believed Judas was doing the will of Jesus, so he wrote a story to 'prove' it. The same is true with the other gospels in the Christians' New Testament.

Our child has a science experiment project where the instructions said to dissolve salt into hot water and then suspend a nail from a string into the water.  We are supposed to report back what happens.\n\nSo,  5 days later,  absolutly nothing has happened.  Anyone know what was supposed to happen?\n\nIs it possible we used the wrong type of nail (We used a galvanized nail),  or maybe we didn't use enough salt.  \n\nPlease help in the name of kids science!  :-)

Unfortunately, I don't really have much information on this subject.  However, a galvanized nail (Galvanized is a protective layer around the outside of the screw to prevent rusting, or basic contact with the 'elements.') probably is the reason that the experiment is failed.  When will they start producing specific projects for these kids!?  Geesh.

I recieved a flyer in the mail,and it was asking for people to mail in $20 dollar bills to a Charity called,People Helping People.You are to send your name and address with the $20.00,and the will register you to win more $20 dollar bills,but you have to send $20 to get registered.It sounds like some kind of scam to me.What Charity ask people to send cash money to them.And what person would send cash money to strangers anyway? Please help me with this,because I want to put a stop to these people if it is a scam.I have tried to look ut up on the computer,but no luck.I emailed the police in that town,and left the name & address that was on the envelope.Hopefully they can help me.The problem I have with it is the fact that some old person will think that it is a real charity and send money to this people,not knowing that it is a scam. Please help me to stop people like this!!!\nThanks for everything. Yours Truly,Sheila Phillips

Why do we have 5 Wednesdays with the same number in March and in November this year and in all common years? Does it have anything to do with when New Year's Day occurs?

it just has to do with our calender, there is always going to be the same days in november and march, bcause it is a constant. there are always the exact same number of days between mar and nov, and its devisible by 7, no weird things, just math, if we made weeks 6 or 8 days long, some other month would logicaly have the same days.


I think it would be great as it would great as it would resolve some bad judgement calls. It would need to have a time limit as well!

No, I don't think they should use instant replays.  Football is much different from American football or basketball where there are natural stops in action that allow for an opportunity to do an instant replay.  Part of the beauty of football is the flow of the game, stopping for instant replay would not only make the games longer, but it would interrupt the flow.  \n\nFurther, mistakes are part of sport.  Until a player plays the perfect game without making one mistake on the ball or in a run or with a pass or shot, it is unrealistic to expect a referee not to make any mistakes.  As long as the referee is consistent, the players should adjust.


When discussing the conflict withing the Middle East, do you think it is possible for peace to exist without a Jewish homeland. This question does not deal with whether or not you think the land belongs to one group or another, rather, is peace possible without a homeland.

The problem isn't that Israel exists, or that there are Arabic (or Persian in the case of Iran) nations. The problem isn't that Israel is occupying Palestine and the Golan Heights. Yes, the Israel-Palestine conflict offers regional leaders "reason" to attack Israel. There would still be much infighting between the many ethnic groups in the region without the Jewish Homeland.\nThe problem arose with the end of the First World War and the division of much of the old Ottoman (Turkish) Empire's Middle-Eastern territory, from the Palestine (as I will refer to the pre-Israel Holy-Land) into Persia (Iran) and the Arabian Peninsula by France and Great Britain (the UK). Much like the division of Africa, ethnic and historical boundaries were disregarded, and unfriendly tribal peoples were crowded into the same states (much like Hutus and Tutsis in Rwanda).\nResentment of the rule by the Western Powers, the Arabs and Persians looked to aid from Hitler's Germany in order to overthrow the French and British. Nazi involvement is therefore an important component in the anti-Semites in the  Middle-East.\nWith the departure of the Western Powers after the Second World War, the Arab states found their political Independence. However, the discovery of oil found the United States becoming increasingly interested in the area. The US sought economic superiority in the region, developing the strong-arm subterfuge tactics that it would later use in Latin America in order to try and control Middle-Eastern Governments. These tactics lead to mass unrest against foreign backed rulers, whether they were Capitalist or Communist (let Iran and Afghanistan be respective examples). Hatred of foreign blessed rulers, and the ideological strife  and rebellion these rulers caused are key causes of the lack of peace in the region. \nIsrael is supported by the US to a startling degree, while the other Middle-Eastern governments  are often products of anger against former rulers, generally fronted by the US. This hatred of America and her puppet rulers abroad is a cause of unrest in the Middle-East, as well as in Latin America (Castro originally led an uprising against US puppet dictator Fulgencio Batista, before US policies caused him to seek Soviet aid and shelter with the Communists), is a component of violent unrest in these regions.\nIt is naive to say that there is any one reason that there could be peace without Israel, or without the Arab (and Persian) states. It is naive to say that the elimination of any one reason is the root cause of unrest in the Middle-East, including the resentment of Israel. Three major reasons could be considered the most important.\n1. Former Franco-British control ignoring ethnic lines (ie lack of "Kashmiristan")\n2. Anti-Semitism introduced by Nazis (actually, this should be Anti-Zionist or Anti-Jewish feelings because the Arabians are actually a Semetic tribe)\n3. Oil and the resulting US attempts to control the region that led to anti-western sentiment that placed such governments in power--this also results in resentment of Israel because of its close ties with the US.\nThis is in no way a simple conflict, but a complex regional conflict with roots dating to the end of the First World War, perhaps even as far back as the Crusades. There are more reasons that I listed above that suggest that there could be much unrest without the Israeli state. \nIsrael's was most likely very much just the point where the Arab states "lost it".


explain the difference between essential elements of a contract and matters which affect the validity of a contract.

Essential elements of the contract are those which are required to prove a prima facie case for existence of a contract. Basic elements of a contract are mutual assent, including a valid offer and acceptance, and consideration, plus capacity (which is presumed).\n\nAn offer is an expression of clear and definite terms, communicated to an offeree. An acceptance must be unconditional, and must mirror the offer (exceptions under the UCC for Added/Altered Terms). If there is offer and acceptance, then there is mutual assent to the agreement.\n\nConsideration require that each party incur a legal detriment, and/or provide a legal benefit to the other party. Bi-lateral contracts incur from each party a promise to perform. Unilateral contracts provide a benefit in exchange for performance. Consideration must be valuable (though no specific dollar threshold is required), and is also referred to as bargained-for-exchange.\n\nCapacity refers to the ability of the parties to enter into and bind themselves (or another) to the contact. Some types of insanity, or being too young, are grounds for lack of capacity. In addition, when binding corporations or other business entities, the party signing the contact (to bind the entity) must have requisite authority.\n\nOther matters affecting validity of a contract include contract defenses, such as lack of capacity, fraud, undue influence, etc. They also include the Statute of Frauds, which require some contracts to be written. Absent a writing, the contract must at least be memorialized in one or more writings, and signed by the party (or agent thereof) to be bound. \n\nFinally, there are other matters affecting the enforceability (not validity) of the contract, including ambiguity, where the contract terms are unclear, and unconscionability, where the terms are oppressively unfair.\n\nThe main difference would probably be summed up that matters affecting validity (or enforceability) must be raised as affirmative defenses in a suit challenging the existence of the contract, while essential elements would need to be proven in the prima facie (initial) case.

I am trying to take a program off of my home computer, so I can have it on my lap top, but I cannot figure out how to do it.

Thats what I want to is well and here is the answer when I asked: (I havent tried it yet)\n\n"The USB cable will not work for you. You will need to purchase a crossover cable, a special network cable, to connect the two computers. Then, the XP network setup wizard should be able to help you do the rest."


For a converging lens of focal length f (in air-lens-air medium) placed in water, water-lens-water interface has a focal length f*(n2-1)/(n2/n1-1) {focal length is inversely proportional to relative difference in refractive indices; from the derivation of focal length of a lens} n1 is the refractive index of water and n2 that of lens. Please explain the above statements.

Well, you do have the answer right there, but some people are more conceptual learners than mathematical learners, so maybe that answer isn't obvious to you.\n\nIt's like this...  a lens works because the path of light bends at the interface between two materials of different refractive indices.  The higher the difference, the greater the degree of bend, which also depends on the angle between the light and the material.  See Snell's law for a description of this.  This is why you can now get corrective glasses made from high index of refraction plastic instead of glass, and have thin lenses instead of the old fashion "coke bottle" glasses.  Old glasses had to be thick since the refractive index was low in order to get a larger angle at the interface of the air and glass when compared to the direction of the light coming towards your eye. \n\nSo, those two things, curvature of surface and difference in refractive index, are what determine the focal length of a lens.  Water has a higher refractive index than air, but lower than glass, so a glass lens placed in water will act like a thinner lens would in air and have a longer focal length.  The exact difference can be determined by applying Snell's law (if you want to be precise) or the special case version called the lensmaker's equation (if you want to do it quick and easy and you've got a thin lens) for the two situations to the definition of focal length.  The index of refraction for air is 1, so that drops out easily, and the lens curvature stays the same since it's the same lens, and you can just use the focal length as given, and scale it by the amount of differnce caused by the change in refractive index of the medium around the lens.  Since this depends on the ratio of refractive indices of the lens material and the surrounding medium, and the difference beween the medium that the focal length was originally specified for (air) you end up with the focal length being scaled by the ratio (n2-1)/(n2/n1-1).\n\nGive me a minute and I'll work out the derivation for you...\n\nI have a meeting that just started, so I'll have to get back to you on the full answer. \n\n(to be edited later)\n\nOK, I'm back.\n\nSo, to get the ratio, you need an expression which gives focal length in terms of refractive indices.  \n\nThe easiest place to start is using the lensmaker's formula:\n\nP=1/f=((N2-N1)/N1)(1/R1-1/R2)\n\nWhere R1 and R2 are the curvatures of the faces of the lens.  Don't worry, we don't need to know them since they'll drop out later.\n\nWe have two cases, one where 1/f=(N2-1)(1/R1-1/R2) for the lens in air, since the index of refraction of air is taken to be 1, and another where 1/f2=((N2-N1)/N1)(1/R1-1/R2)\n\nWe want to get f2 in terms of f1 and the various indices of refraction.  \n\nso, we can invert one equation to f2=1/((N2-N1)/N1)(1/R1-1/R2)) and multiply it by the other equation, 1/f1=(N2-1)(1/R1-1/R2), which gives:\n\nf2/f1=(N2-1)/((N2-N1)/N1)\n\nWith a little algebra, this can be simplified to the expression you were given above.\n\nThe lensmaker's equation isn't exact, and only applies for thin lenses, but in this case it's accurate enough for our purposes.\n\n\nTo answer your second comment: Yes, the relationship f2=f1*(n2-1)/(n2/n1-1) does say that the focal length is proportional to the inverse of the difference of the indices of refraction of the lens and the surrounding medium since for a given lens f*(n2-1) is a constant since it only involves the lens itself, and ((n2/n1)-1) can be restated as (n2-n1), exactly as you said.


My Boyfriend says he loves me more than I could ever imagian. and he hsa changed alot for me too. he's left his cult and he got drunk once and told me he would never do it again and he hasn't. he also is saving up to get a a promise ring. but i'm still not sure if he really loves me because i've been told that before and had my heart riped out and steped on. he's told me that he will never pressure me into anything i don't want to do, and he hasn't he always keeps his word to me and i don't know why i don't believe him. so please help.

..you probably dont think you can trust him because what has happened before..and i know exactly how you feel i havent been able to really trust a guy in over a year and im workin on it really hard and anytime i started to get somewhere with a guy all that i can think about is how much that other guy hurt me but i have to let go of the past and im tryin to figure out a way to do that too..but you are just goin to have to try your hardest to get over what has happen before..you might think you are completely over that but your probably not because you belive your boyfriend now..you just have to let your guard down with the chance of you gettin hurt again but sometimes its worth it/


My fiance leaves to MOB for the NGAR on JUNE 29 for 60-65 days. I am pregnant and due Sept.1, will the NGAR let him come home to see his child born?

yes he should be able to he should get 10 days make sure his commander knows and he might get there just on time There is no reason the will not let him, again just make sure his 1st SGT and commander know


I constantly have to have something in my mouth if I'm not talking be it food, mints, gum or even paper!If I don't have any of the above I bite the insides of my mouth- can this be harmfull to my health? I don't smoke and I'm not overweight, but I wonder if this could still harm me, I tend to do it more when I'm stressed- Is there a name for this?

The name for wanting to eat or place things in your mouth that have no nutritional value is "Pica". You have an obsessive compulsive disorder. It is my suggestion that you first tell your doctor then seek a therapist. My second suggestion is that you do NOT ever try out any street drugs because obsessive compulsive tend to become addicts. Use caution when using prescribed drugs and/or alcohol. Learn to meditate and learn biorhythm control over your body.\n\nGood luck hon. This sounds like hard work but it will be worth learning this self control.
