I'm not trying to start a debate about whether the theory of evolution is true or not.\n\nI am wondering why humans are fairly hairless compared to other mamals, such as chimpanzees, cats, sheep etc. Surely it would be an advantage to be hairy as hair/fur keeps you warm, stops you getting burned by the sun and can protect you from injury, and it also means you don't have to spend time/effort looking for something to wear (for stone-age people that must have been an additional difficulty). Therefore there must be some advantage to being hairless that outweighs the disadvanteages. What is it?

One difference we have in comparison with a lot of other mammals is that we have a lot of sweat glands in our skin. They help to prevent our bodies from overheating, especially during exercise. As sweat cooling your body works best if the air on your skin can move easily (and especially if a breeze of air is blowing) I would guess that fur/hair would decrease the efficiency of this cooling system a lot. As humans are supposed to have evolved in warm areas of Afrika, protection from cold was not an issue for keeping hair. And protection from sunburn - as a upright walking species we kept our hair on the place where sunburn would be most of a problem. \nThat's my guess, so that may not be true, but I read not too long ago that sweating allows humans to exercise much longer without overheating than a lot of animals (and so hunt an animal to its heat exhaustion, despite if may be able to run faster), if you look up these studies you may find more.\nPS. I found at least one source for that theory, I added it below


its apart of one of shelley's poem iwould really thank any one who answer it as soon as possible i dont have amuch time\n\n'

Incidentally, the word is BLISS, not BLESS. Here's the whole poem:\n\n"Virtue, how frail it is!\nFriendship, too rare!\nLove, how it sells poor bliss\nFor proud despair!\nBut we, though soon they fall,\nSurvive their joy, and all\nWhich ours we call."\n\n\nThe lines in question seem to mean that love often begins with bliss and ends in despair. Love "sells" bliss by exchanging it for despair when love is gone. Good question.


This is in Oklahoma. Is there a standard on this or just the mood of the trustee?

I don't think that they are allowed to seize your refund after the bankruptcy has been discharged!  I'm like 90% sure that as soon as you are discharged the people that you used to owe money too are no longer allowed to contact you in any way shape or form (to include looking into tax returns bank accounts whatever) unless you give them written permission to do so.  You should really contact the lawyer that you filed with and ask them, after all that's what you paid them for!!!


A legal form that states: should I be unable to speak, and/or comatose, I do not want to be hooked up to machines to be kept alive.  Where can I find a copy of the form on the internet?

This is such an important thing for all of us to do.  You need to do a Yahoo or Google search for "advance health care directive" and your state.  They are inforcable.  Make sure you talk to your family, give them a copy and have your doctor put a copy in your medical chart.\n\n"Advance directive forms and living wills are not complicated. They can be short, simple statements about what you want done or not done if you can't speak for yourself. Remember, anything you write by yourself or with a computer software package should follow your state laws. So, it’s essential for you to know what the laws are in your state. While you are not required to seek legal advice to prepare an advance directive, it may be a good idea to do so to ensure that the actual instructions for your wishes are stated accurately. It has to be absolutely clear to be enforceable."  http://www.helpguide.org/mental/advance_directive_end_of_life_care.htm  you can get more information at that site.\n\nIf you are in CA, like me, here is a site where you can print out the form:  http://www.pamf.org/preventive/ahcd.html


What term is used to describe the minimum amount of energy reactant molecules must gain in order for a reaction to proceed and why does food placed in the freezer last longer than food place in the refrigerator?

It is called the energy of activation or activation energy. The bacteria and maybe fungi cannot multiply at the reduced temps so the food will not be attacked by the microbes.Also proteins don't breakdown quickly at lower temps so the food will be fresh when it defrosts

Why do firms spend time working through the capital budgeting decision process. Which method of determining the value of a project consistently provides the most realistic results?

I don't really know what you're studying right now and what topics, but I'll take a guess at these questions.\n\nThey spend time because they want to know if a given project is worth doing.  By using numeric evaluation, this gives them a general idea.  NPV using DCF is probably the most realistic because you take into account the actual cash flows along with making sure you're taking a look at the present value of the project.


My sister got this interesting error message on her computer: it says: Keyboard Error or no Keyboard Present press F1 to continue, Press Delete to enter setup...\n\nher Question is ... if it says there is no keyboard detected, what do i push??? \n\n*note* yes the keyboard is plugged into the correct port, and yes the keyboard is a working keyboard... it was tested on her other computer.\n\nIs this Microsoft, or what????

its not microsof problem,its bios message ,means basic input output system,so mostly ur keyboard may be having loose conection or mal functions.so disconnect and reconnect it ,if ever after u cheked it with a new working keyboard and still ur getting same message then mostly ur mother board keyboard connector may be damaged,if so u have to use a usb keyboard for alternative purpose or service ur system


The easy way to write a SQL script is to go into Access, create a query, and then view the SQL source behind it.


the other night when my partner and i were making love and it got as far as me giving him head while he fingered me. He then tells me in a moment of pleasure....BABY LICK MY BALLS!!!!!! i was like what the hell? well i didn't...is that normal? do you do it? or have you done it? and what pleasure do guys get from it?

Ball licking is totally normal. Just make sure they're fresh and sweat free. I enjoy doing this to my husband and it is exxxtremely pleasurable for me, especially while performing "hand massages". Try it out once and see how you like it, but fill him in on your feelings FIRST. Make sure he knows you don't know how you'll like it and you just want to test it out. That we he isn't expecting it from then on. Also, try sucking them..this is great for them! Good Luck!


heeee is so cute hould i take him or leve him

NO don't do it. And remember it gonna come back on you.

Is Sun pregnant?  I saw the sneak click the week before the episode aired, but I missed it.  She asked Sawyer for a pregnancy test.  Did she get one?  What happened?

Yes Sun is pregnant.  There back story was about Jin wanting to get her pregnant and she didnt really wanna get pregnant. When they went to the doctors to see why she wasnt getting pregnant they told her that she had a problem with scar tissue and it was impossible.  Then later the doctor told her that it was really Jin who could not get her pregnant, because of his sp*** count.  She was getting tutored by the guy who she was set up with in the first flash back this year with her english (maybe he possibly got her pregnant, or just another mirical happened on the island and Jin was cured just like Locke)\n\nAnyways hope this helps

Can anyone explain to me in simple terms. I tried reading about it but not able to understand.

The Coriolis effect is an apparent deflection of a moving object in a rotating frame of reference. There are examples of this effect in everyday life, such as the direction of rotation of cyclones. Due to the effect, cyclones rotate counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere, and clockwise in the southern hemisphere. However, contrary to popular opinion, it has no noticeable effect on the rotation of water in draining sinks and toilets (see the toilets/bathtubs section below). The effect is named after Gaspard-Gustave Coriolis, a French scientist, who described it in 1835, though the mathematics appeared in the tidal equations of Laplace in 1778.


i know there is some type of physical theropy or whatever for OCD, but where and who is the best place to get it from?

I would go to www.ocfoundation.org to see if they have a recommendation for someone in your area.  If you are not limited to your area, I think the best person out there is Dr Bruce Hyman at www.ocdhope.com, he helped me.\n\nIt is possible to manage OCD.  \nAlso you if you can find a support group in your area through the oc foundation, that would be good too.

Can anyone also explaine what is ment by irreducible please, thanx.

This is the ring of polynomials in two variables with complex coefficients. First figure out what the units are (the scalars). An irreducible will be a polynomial p such that if p=fg, then either f or g is a unit. Clearly x and y are irreducible since if x=f(x,y)g(x,y), then either f or g will be a scalar polynomial.

When it says inconclusive on a DNA report what does it mean?

It means they are uncertain or cannot be proven.


Shouldn't it be the opposite. If your supplier raises prices, you raise prices too, however, it should all be relative. You should NOT gain MORE money because gas prices went up. The percentage of marginal profit on gas should be the same as before, no more, no less. \n\nLook at the profits of the car companies. Not many more people are driving cars than before. How is this company consistently putting up insane financial figures?\n\nIs this company gauging gas prices to ridiculously high levels?

They keep their steady 10% profit margins that they've been doing for the last 20 years.\n\nSo, if the supplier say 10, you charge 11.  You make 1.\n\nIf the supplier charges 100, you charge 110.  You make 10.  Not that hard.\n\nSkim over their annual reports for the last years that you care about.  Look at the sales, COGS, gross margins, net margins to get an idea of how the fluctuations have been and compare that to the closest future price of crude oil.


The Knicks are terrible, this is a fact.  But should Larry Brown or the players be forced to go.  Or even the upper management?

I dont even know whats wrong with them. They were last year almost in the playoffs they had like the 9th Seed. I dont get how they got worse. They got one of the best coaches in NBA History. To great rookies in Channing Frye and Nate Robinson. Quentin Richardson who was amazing last year but is terrible this year. Jalen Rose Who was the 2nd best player on the Raptors after Chris Bosh. And they have Steve Francis. And They Still have Stephon Marbury and Jamal Crawford. \n\n     I think it is just a chemistry Issue. I think they need to get rid of either Stephon and trade him for a less selfish player and someone who can play Larry Brown Basketball. And they should get a decent first Round Draft Pick they gave one to Chicago but they got one back from Toronto. So they should get whatever there missing which I think is a consistent Big Man.\n\n       Knicks Starting Lineup Next Year\n\n         PG Steve Francis \n         SG Jamal Crawford\n         SF Jalen Rose \n         PF Draft Player like Joakim Noah from Florida\n         C    Either Channing Frye or whoever they can trade for Stephon \n\n             With a team like that and Larry Brown They should be one of the best teams next year. I think there biggest problem is adjusting from Last years offensive team to this years Larry Brown Defense

i need to solve the following equater in IMAGINERY numbers:\n\nabs(z)+i*z+i*[attached(z+1)]=sqrt(5)+z+4*i-2\n\nthe functions are:\nabs  = absolute of an integer\nattached = im not sure if this is the correct expression in english, i just verbally translated it from my language, it basically means an imaginery number that if we multiply it with the original imaginery number z, we will get a real number. f.e: \nif z=x+yi then \nattached(z)=x-yi\n\nthus, (x+yi)(x-yi)= x^2+y^2.\nsqrt = sqaure root.\n\nthe solution according to the guy that wrote this book is:\nz1=sqrt(5)/2+(sqrt(5)-3)*i   z2=2+i\n\ni got a very ugly solution and i tried this damn equator for about a million times. its supposed to be rather easy.\n\nthe only thing i wasnt sure about is if the attached imaginery number of ((x+y*i)+1) is (x+1-y*i) while (z=x+y*i)\n\nthanks ahead.

In your equation\nabs(z)+i*z+i*[attached(z+1)]=s...\nThe R.H.S =s... ? what is that mean ?\nAttached =Conjugate\nThe conjugate of ((x+y*i)+1) is (x+1-y*i) while (z=x+y*i)\nAs you think\nGive me the value of s and I'll solve you the problem\nThanks\nAfter you gave me the R.H.S\nLet z= x + iy\nThen your equation Will be:\nL.H.S = sqrt(x^2+y^2)+ i*(x + iy)+ i*(x - iy +1) \n      = (sqrt(x^2+y^2 -y +y ) + i *( x+x+1)\n      = (sqrt(x^2+y^2) = i *(2x + 1)\nR.H.S = (sqrt(5) + x - x ) + i *(y + 4)\nEquating the real and imaginary parts\n  2x +1 = y +4\n      y = 2x -3             (1)\nand : sqrt(x^2 + y^2) = sqrt(5)\nso          x^2 + y^2 = 5   (2)\nsubstituting from (1) in (2)\n  x^2 + (2x -3 )^2 =5\nso  5 x^2 - 12 x + 4 =0\nwhich gives x=2   then y =1 then z = 2 + i\nor x = 2/5  y = -11/3    then z = 2/5 - 11/5 i


is Old covenant?  For example most non-Catholic christians say Catholics are bad for breaking certain laws of the OT, but if you bring to there attention they are doing something wrong they claim that that is the Old Covenant.

A good and fair question my friend! It's hard to defend all that has been said by Judeao-Christian faiths, but I would assume that most of the time like Catholics they are just doing what they were told, not what they read. Or they are reading the Bible as a tool of judgment against others instead of against their own beliefs. I'm sorry if a Judeao-Christian was offensive and I thank you for not being rude or mean about it! Jesus said," I did not come to abolish the Law(old testament) but to fulfill it." so it falls on us to follow His example of fulfilling the Law as close as we can. The Old testament is just as important to God as when He first designed it. I hope this helps you and others. God bless.

Singer: Tarkan\nSong: Simarik\n\n100percent certain about this. I love that song.

i am doing a paper on freedom i have to compare what people such as those well-educated versus thos less-educated( no college degree) feel about the freedom of speech, the freedom of choosing a career and the freedom of religion think i must get opposing view because this is a cintrast essay for my comp 1 class. any suggestions on how to go about this and how to ask an educated prson to give me the interview?? anybody wannas provide the interview?? HELP this assignment is due in two days!!!!

Well educated. Let me answer your questions if that's acceptable.\n\nFreedom of speech - who'll listen? Morally correct concept, but in practical every day life, an individual is restricted on what he or she says because of social mores. In the last 15 years, political correctness has been the trend. That only curtains freedom of speech. On the other hand, I could say anything I want about any politician. What I say however most likely will be forgotton. Freedom of speech also amplifies opinions. It seems everyone these days has an opinion about this or that. Opinions, I believe, is the most common form of Freedom of Speech but also the weakest. Many who have opinions lack any kind of indepth knowledge of complicated matters, that would take volumes of book to explain in extricate details.\n\nFreedom of choosing a career - life experience has thought me to suceed in a chosen career one needs to be very talented or has to know someone. If someone lacks talent let's say in journalism and has no solid (close friends or family) connection, the person would be wasting his or her time in the choosen field. If the person has some but not much talent, the individual will not advance far in the profession.\n\nFreedom of religious- this is USA's strongest trait as a nation. We are totally free to believe in what we want to believe.


What would you rate the most UN-Kosher of things? Anything goes!!!


Recently in Manchester UK a babysitter imagined he was receiving messages from a tv sci-fi show he was watching "Stargate SG-1". He imagined messages telling him the child he was minding was Judas Iscariot and that he must kill him so proceeded up to the bedroom with a kitchen knife and stabbed the child through the chest several times, he then imagined the spirit of Judas Iscariot had left the child and entered the pet dog so he stabbed the dog and left it in the bath (both child & dog were left dead).

If the babysitter had stabbed the child because he believed the child to be the reincarnation of Isaac Newton, would science be to blame?


Okay, here's the deal- I'm 12 years old and my best friend and I like each other and we both know *we told each other* but my other friend says that the guy I like is waiting for me to ask him out. I really want to, and I know that if I wait, he's never going to ask me-he's too shy. So how do I ask him out?

I'm 12 too and i am a guy so i think i know what the best way is. just ask him and remember your only twelve and you shouldn't be asking a guy to dinner or something like that ask him to a movie

How do you define sexual satisfaction? How has the definition changed now than when your parents were your age?\n I am a graduate student who is trying to determine how most people define sexual satisfaction. Taking the survey (from www.surveymonkey.com – a legit site) will take you under 2 minutes to complete. Serious submissions only, please.\nThank you!!\nhttp://www.surveymonkey.com/s.asp?u=524332005308

I took the survey. Sexual satisfaction is both partners having orgasm. \n\nI don't think the defination has changed, it is just talked about more openly.

the thing that we put in our ear so that we will listen to anything..usually people will wear it when they are practicing their guns. is it true if we wear it..we cant hear anything at all?

I think you are talking about electronic hearing protection. It can actually amplify sound for hunting, or talking, but dull the crack of the gun. Cabela sells them as does Sportsman's Guide.


I am currently working as a mechanical engineer. I interviewed with a company last October, but no position was available then, yet he said repeatedly he was very interested in me, etc.  I received a call from the director of the office that interviewed me this past Wed.  He said that he had a position available.  I talked to him two days ago and he said he is going to send me an offer letter via snail/email.  The thing is, I like to smoke pot once in a while to wind down. I don't during work, or when I have to drive.  I met up with a friend one Friday after work and got busted for possession and para. neither was mine.  All because I was in the car. Possession got dropped.  Got 90 day supervision for the paraphernalia. Both misdemeanors. Please spare me a lecture about how terrible pot is.  However, I haven't received an email or a letter with an offer.  You think he did a background check and it came up?  Any way I can tell? Or would he have done it in October when I interviewed?

You will get a background check when you have the job.  The misdemeanors are a very negative part of your background.  They are usually looking for major convictions.  If you were at a young age the time period may be considered


i have been with my man for 2 years and we love each other but i am a very jelouse person about girls. i am to the point i cant even watch sertain movies with him if they have his favorite actress in them....i know im being rediculous but i cant help it i try to fight it...what is the deal with me?

Don't worry.  The jealousy are natural.\n\nWhen you stop having jealousy it will be a problem.  That could mean that you have no more interest in him.  \n\nAccept them with a smile and when in jealousy, give a kiss to your man.

In the Bible, God told a man to kill his only begotten son. Times have changed a lot since then.\n\nIn this day and age, if God came to you and told you to kill your child, would you do it and pray he would stop you as he did in the Bible or would you seek out a psychiatrist?

It is scarry how many crazy people are among us.\n\nA loving god would not play with people like that.  An all knowing god would already know the answer to the question and not have to ask it.

Somalia.....Al-Queda we ran and set a precedent of being pu$$ies. The Terrorists know that Americans are weak and can't stomach blood. F*ck it let them win. Who cares? Down the road when hundreds of thousands of Americans are killed, I will say I told you so. People need to understand sacrifice. Hundreds die now to save a society and thousands in the future. These Terrorists have us pegged....your all a bunch of gutless pu$$ies that give in to terror.

stop trying to instigate to get a reaction. and since you said "these terrorists have us pegged" i guess that means you're a gutless pussy too. welcome to the club! you can be exalted ruler.

I had my wisdom teeth extracted 3 weeks ago, so been there done that with that pain.  Tell me on a level from 1 - 10, 10 being the most painful, on how painful your spacers were and also your braces.

when you first get them its a 8-9 then about two weeks later you will be fine.  Every month when you go back to the dentist it will hurt for that day (3-4)but think about it this way...when you are done your teeth are going to be awesome and you are going to look great!!!!!


I go to a school that starts at 7:40 and I am always tired because I have to get up early. I can't fall asleep when there's daylight, so I can't take naps. How do I get sleep so I don't fall asleep in class?

go to sleep as soon as it turns dark. 7:40 classes suck, but are a part of a young person's life. set a timer. have someone take your computer/tv/etc. away from you when it turns dark. do whatever you can to get extra sleep, because the more sleep you get, the better you'll do in, well, life.

what kinds of foods should you eat? types of exercise etc.

The summer is coming up quick so you don’t have long.  But one to two months is all you need if you do it right.  I’m assuming you’re not huge, because in that case it probably would take some time.  But for someone who has the winter padding on, you should be fine.  You don’t have to go to the gym but for the best results definitely jog/run 3-4 times a week for 30 minutes or more.  Doing less isn’t much benefit, so make sure to run or jog at a pace you can keep up for 30 minutes.  And warm up and stretch properly, with winter inactivity it’s very important.  And as far as food goes, make sure to eat breakfast, with mostly fruits and maybe some yogurt or small piece of toast.  Avoid high carbs like bagels and muffins.  A lot of people avoid breakfast but it really is important, gets your metabolism going throughout the day.  And also eat a lot of small meals, 4-5 if possible.  The worst mistake people make is avoiding breakfast and starving themselves all day only to gorge themselves at dinner time.  Dinner should be a very small meal.  You know what types of things are bad to eat and how much to eat, just try to cut down.  Try and stick with a level you can keep up.  Hope this helps, see you at the beach!

shipping insurance for a jacket that was from a far place. any ways to change that b/c i just got it a few minutes ago ... any suggestions? or will i just have to get lucky...?

contact the seller, ask him to insure the package if he hasn't already shipped it.  if you paid seller using Paypal you could send him the extra shipping insurance due via Paypal, but you have to communicate with the seller so both of you are in agreement.


I need a good, fast, reliable quad for $2000 or under thats at least 200cc

You're probably looking at a Chinese model for that price. Try Tank Motorsports.


all about where they live and what they eat

They are found in the tropical regions of the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans.  They hang out at a depth of about 500 to 600 meters during the day and 15 to 100 meters at night.  Lanternfish eat copepods (small invertebrates with big eyes and long antennae) and amphipods (like shrimp).


Google Earth is some thing that a satallite sees in .

To operate one live, you would actually have to initiate internet-based control over an orbiting satellite with imagery capabilities.  You realize that it would have to reconfigure its current orbit and literally reposition in space to get to the place you want to spy on.  That would cost in the hundreds of thousands to operate.\nI suggest setting up internet real time cameras that are set up to a video server to relay images to your computer screen.  That way you can access a particular location but only where you have cameras set up or have access codes.


Okay I am 20. I have been thinking I really want to open my own business! How much does it normally cost to open a business and how long does it normally take for it to really start making profit. What type of business would be best to open up. I know they say the first year is the hardest. See I don't have a lot of moeny. So I need Idea of what I can do to get started where I don't go bankrupt cause I putting out money and making no profit!

Well first of all i really appreciate your idea of opening business at this age. There are hundreds of thousands of business you can start even with a $ but it all need some planning to start a right thing  at right time. So what the best you can do is make a list of following things\n\n- What are your areas of interest?\n- What do you think are the products which will be easily avalaible to you and you can make some profits with them?\n- Is there any service you can outsouce to some other country, because outsourcing does not need any investment all it needs is your smart work. I would like to tell you in detail about this point. BPO (Business processing outsourcing) is a booming business these days in US, you can find a process and outsource it to some telemarketing  company in India and you will start generating the revenue from the very first two weeks. I personally own a small telemarketing company in india working for US so if you can find any process who wants to outsource to india, we can have a good business out there, for details on this point you can write me at mohitmadaan@gmail.com\n- You can think of starting a delivery service like flower delivery, gift delievery etc. this needs a very few investements.\n- Opening a small restaurant can also be a positive plan, but for this you need a lot of planning and of couse a good location in a busy area.\n\nThis is all i can think at this time, small business really need a courage and a lot of hardwork but ofcourse, courage won't pay your bills of. So be a good planner, research about the business you are going to start and just start at a right time, because its well said "Well begun is half done"\n\nI am 19 and i recently started my small business in India and doing pretty good, even i didn't have much investements but still i am doing good.\n\nFeel free to write me at mohitmadaan@gmail.com for any ideas or discussion.\n\nI wish you a good luck

I don't understand why people think that Bush (or any other president at any other time) is responsible for the price of oil or gas.  Things like wars, production, supply, and demand dictate the price of gas.  Not any given world leader.  \n\nTo blame one man or administration from ANY country for high gas prices is silly.  Believe it or not, our presidents have our best interests in minds (mostly) - the last thing they want to do is piss us off.

Seiza is a traditional formal way of sitting in Japan,  which is a commonly used sitting posture. It is a posture of respect and formality. Seiza also is defined as “correct, calm sitting,” a kneeling posture associated with Japanese meditative forms.\nmany say that this posture helps in digestion but is this true?\nand does this posture serves significant role in yoga ie relaxing oneself?\ndoes this posture also help in straightening the back bone?\ndoes practicing seiza have health benefits??? or does it bring only harm to the body by blocking the blood circulation in the legs and feet?\ni myself has just started doing this posture but heard that there are advantages and disadvantages doing this so im confused if i should actually continue...\nplease try to answer my question and give me some evidences (eg. websites) of good or bad about it, thanks =)

Yes, seiza can be used as a yoga practice.\nBy doing seiza, your lower half of the body gets pressured and it easily blocks the blood circulation. On the other hand, because all the pressure goes to the lower half of the body, upper half of your body, especially your shoulder and head will be relaxed. It's considered it makes your brain very refreshed and calm, which helps you think about things more clearly and smoothly. It helps you concentrate on your studies, work, just anything that needs your brain to work well. \nIt takes time to get used to do seiza and master the very right way of sitting seiza. During this process, the lower half of your body will be trained and be stronger. However, if you practice seiza in a wrong way and keep on doing it, you might have a problem with your legs and feet because of the too much of a pressure. \nIn Japan, Seiza is considered the most beautiful way of sitting. Seiza is the only way of sitting when women wear kimonos by the way...\n\nI understand that you are confused. I was even confused while I was looking for some info about seiza. However, I think it has good benefits for your body. As long as you do seiza in the very right way, it should be fine.

Example. Gossip is like wildfire. It spreads everywhere quickly. I know this is in the baseball category of sports, but no one is answering in other catagories.

Not a saying, but I have heard that spreading gossip is like taking a bag of dust and ripping it open and throwing it all over your house.  Stopping that gossip is like cleaning up the dust by hand.

I have this reading teacher, and she is so abusive. She will hit me, slap me, and even punch me on my arms, head, or body, and she always calls me stupid or an idiot and is very rude to me. Like when I say hi to her she looks at me like i have one eye. Is that a criminal act, or crime or agianst the law, and what should i do?

Tell your parents.  Your parents should then go to the principal of your school.  What your teacher is doing is considered child abuse and she should lose her teaching certification permanently.


I have been selling on Ebay fairly steadily for the last 6 months. I have earned about $3,000, before expenses.  Do I have to claim this on taxes for next year?

It depends.  If you are selling items that you purchased with earnings you have already paid taxes on and you are not selling them for more than what you purcahsed them for, then no, you do not have to pay taxes on the money you have reaped from Ebay.  If you have sold these same items for more than you paid for them, in other words, you have actually gained $3,000 over and above what you paid for these items, then yes, you have to report that income and pay the appropriate income tax.


lets say I have a BSW, or MSW in social work, but now I want to be a high school teacher, could I be one still? or do I have to start all over and get a degree in teaching?

I did that!!  I got a BSW and then went back for K-6 certification.  If you think your grades are good enough (and you think you'll do well on the GRE) to get into grad school, I would STRONGLY advise you to go ahead and get a master's in Education and not just go for certification. The pay is MUCH more. \n\nIf you just go for the certification, all you'll probably have to do is go back and pick up the additional education courses-none of the "general college" courses like math, english, science, etc.  The requirements will vary from college to college.  Also, I got my teaching degree from the same college as the social work degree.  So, things might be a little different if your colleges are different.  You can send your transcript to the Education department at the college that you want to go to and they will evaluate for you and give you a listing of the courses that you'd need to take (and in what order you need to take them) for free.\n\nAlso, check into something called "Lateral Entry" where they hire you to teach then give you 3-5 years to complete your certificate.  (NC, right now, is needing math teachers so bad, I think they'd hire Michael Jackson if he'd agree to get certified!!)  This way you can work as a teacher and see if you'd like it.  You take your classes at night or during the summer.\n\nGood Luck!!\n\nCosmicKelly


RNA extraction from plant cells, phenol is an ingredient of the TRI ZOL reagent

Tri reagent is a mono-phase solution containing phenol and guanidine thiocyanate.  For RNA extraction, the pH of phenol should be 4 (which helps keep DNA in the interphase following chloroform addition).  Most manufacturers sell pre-mixed Tri reagent containing phenol, so it is likely that you will not need to add additional phenol to your solution.  Check this first.\n\nFor extraction of RNA from plant cells, your method of homogenization may be important and you may need to remove insoluble material by centrifugation prior to phase separation with chloroform.  Also, this is messy stuff and phenol is very dangerous, so I recommend adding "phase-lock gel" to your tube (made by Eppendorf, purchase via Sigma or VWR) to physically separate the organic (phenol) layer from the aqueous layer containing your RNA.

my course is mass communication-broadcast, i am applying for the position as an account assistant in a bank, is there a chance for me to get hired even if my course is not related to the position i am applying for?

Yes, you should still apply.  Who told you that being trained in communication wouldn't contribute to your success as an account executive?  Are you serious?  People with degrees other than in banking won't get the priority that persons with the right degree have if they're looking for a person with a certain degree, but it doesn't mean you can't get the job anyway.  Generally, companies will take applicants with other degrees that relate in some way or other.\n\nThere are two important keys to getting hired anywhere over others.  1. Becoming friendly with people who already work at the place you want to work at and 2. getting and acing the interview.  \n\nBecoming friendly with people who already work there gives you a foot in the door because bosses want people who not only do great work but also get along.  It's always a great idea to become friends with people who do great work at the place you want to work at because if you can get a recommendation from them, the boss will give you preference based on the theory that "birds of a feather, flock together".  Plus you apparently get along with them which is also important.\n\nAs far as the interview, try to find out who will be doing the interview and what they look for and prefer in an applicant.  Learn what you can about the interviewer so you know better how to conduct yourself and what to say and especially not say.\n\nBy the way, pick your friends carefully.  Picking the wrong ones could backfire. :-]\n\nGood luck!

I am a lifelong baseball fan. I suffer withdrawal symptoms during the six months of off-season, it's that bad.\n\nBut I STILL do not understand what constitutes a balk by a pitcher. It seems different every time I see it called. Any umpires or rulebook gurus out there that can explain this to me?

There are a couple requirements for a balk. When the pitcher is on the rubber and comes to a set position, which is when they plant their lead foot into the position they throw from they must then make a movement toward their throwing direction. If they are going to throw to a base they have to step in the direction of the base. Once in a set postion a pitcher can't move his body without throwing to the plate or a base, if they do it is a balk. A pitcher can also balk if they do not come to a complete stop when they go into their set position, There is not time limit on the stop as long as they come to a complete stop. A pitcher can also commit a balk if they got to their mouth while on the dirt of the pitchers mound. If a balk is issue each runner on base gets to move up one base and the play is dead. If there are not runners on base then the batter is issued a ball.

Bacteria reproduce by invading and using the DNA in other organisms.Is this true?

A virus (not bacteria) is made up primarily of DNA and a protein coat.  They invade the cells of a living organism and destroy the host's DNA, then inject their own DNA into the host cell.  The result is that the infected cell produces new viruses which then exit the host cell and are released to infect others.  This is done because viruses do not contain cells with the orrganells and compounds necessary to reproduce, so they must get cells from the host to do the work for them.  Of course, the host cell is no longer functional as an intact cell once the virus leaves.

what is a fast way i can memorize sumething \nlike for example "bible verses"

When I memorize bible verses I write them down on a 3x5 card and carry the card with me.  Whenever I have a second, I look at it and read it.  WIth verses it is important to say the reference (the book chapter:verse) along with it, it is no good to know a verse and not know where to find it.

I don't know but when I wake up each morning, my heart hurts so bad. Can you tell me what's wrong with me? Is this seriousl? Do you think i should get it checked out or not? Thanks.

Hey JJJ I looked up some info I hope this helps..\n\nChest Pains\nLots of things cause chest pains. How do you know if you should call 911? \n\nSome chest pains are minor problems such as muscle aches and gas bubbles. Others are more serious such as an inflammation of the lining of the heart or lungs, ulcers, gallbladder attack, acid reflux or blood clots to the lung. \n\nMost importantly, some pains can be the only warning sign of a life-threatening heart attack, where a few minutes can make the difference between life or death. \n\nHeart pains generally are located under the breastbone or across the upper chest. They may also go down either arm (not just the left arm), up to the neck or jaw, or through to the back. \n\nMost people describe heart pain as a deep pressure, ache, burning or squeezing. Some say it is like a belt tightening around their chest or a heavy brick laying on them. Rarely is heart pain sharp like a knife or excruciating like hitting your thumb with a hammer. \n\nOften heart pain is accompanied by other symptoms, most commonly profuse sweating, nausea, dizziness or difficulty breathing. \n\nHeart pains are often provoked or worsened by emotional stress or physical activity, but they can also come on when you are doing nothing more than reading or watching TV. They don't come and go in a few seconds, rather heart pains generally build up and go away over a minute or two. \n\nDonít goof around with chest pains. Stop doing whatever you are doing. Don't wait until morning to see if they will be better. You should call 911 immediately if you have unexplained chest pains that: \n\nLast more than 10-15 minutes. \nAre associated with difficulty breathing or dizziness. \n\n\nSharp pains in the heart, could it be caused by anxiety?\n\nAnd here is a link as well... http://www.breathing.com/articles/chest-pains.htm\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chest_pain\n\nI hope that helps...

what is the lowest speed it is considered jogging and not just walking fast?  i'm a big dork who runs on her tiptoes, I try to step heel-toe but my steps are too big to fit on the treadmill when I do that and also it makes the front of my calves hurt.  Please help me!!!

for me, jogging begins at 4 mph.\n\nwhen walking, both feet remain in contact with the running surface.\n\njogging on the balls of your feet is better for you.  Also, let your feet touch the surface under your body, not in front of you.\n\nAlso, strike the ground quickly and allow your heal to raise up high towards your butt.\n\nFinally, rather than twist and turn, hold you head up high and keep you shoulders level with the running surface.\n\nI like jogging while watching the morning/evening news on tv.

coffee is a stimulant and is in the same category as nicotine, which is also a stimulant.  I love lattes and i drink one to two big strabucks cups a day.  you can become addicted to coffee just like you can become addicted to nicotine, in other words you can develope tolerance.. which means that you need increasingly more cafeine in order to achieve a level of arousal previously achieved wiht a smller amount of nicotine....if you are at this stage adn you stop drinking coffee, you may experience withdrawal symptoms...they would be a little milder than those of nicotine

Edgar Allan Poe (January 19, 1809 – October 7, 1849) was an American poet, short story writer, editor, critic and one of the leaders of the American Romantics. He is best known for his tales of the macabre and his poems, as well as being one of the early practitioners of the short story and a progenitor of detective fiction, as well as crime fiction in the United States. He is also often credited with inventing the gothic fiction story and contributing to narrative forms of the emergent science fiction genre.[1] Poe died at the age of 40. The cause of his death is a mystery, although it is well-known that he struggled with alcohol problems; it has also been alleged that he had a drug problem. Some say he died of tuberculosis, as so many people did in his time. His exact burial location is also a source of controversy.


I walk 30 minutes to and from work. (morning and evening)  I weighed 170 lbs before and now I weigh 180 lbs.  I feel better and my body is somewhat firmer, but I haven't really lost inches.  Whats happening?

You gained more muscle which is heavier than fat and by working on your legs through walking, you've gained heavier muscle.  Gaining leg muscles produce more weight than any other muscle in your body.\n\nYou should feel better and your body should feel firmer.  You replaced your fat with healthy muscles.  Don't worry about the weight.  If you want to trim the weight down, eat sensibly.  That always does the trick.

I took the GRE at a computer testing center (Prometrics) and it tells you your math and verbal on the spot -- I got a 690 (or 680?) and 600 respectively, but they mail you the your scores as well and the letter includes your essays which a grader has to look at.  It will be two weeks tommorow since I took it, so I'm really ready to find out!

It takes four to six weeks for tabulating the scores. Add to this time required to deliver the mail to you. \nIf you urgently need the score (analytical writing only) as verbal and quantitative are displayed at the time of taking the test you can know it by dialing ETS. It is a paid service.\nGood Luck\nNBS

If the Blumensteins are CPAs, you'll be able to look them up using the search engine on the site.\n\nI hope this helps! Good luck!


If you have diabetes, there's a good chance you will eventually die of complications. Kidney disease, heart attack, or stroke are all good bets; however, there's no reason why you can't die of other things.\n\nIf you are a Type II diabetic, probably in early/middle old age; if you are a Type I diabetic, probably in your fifties or early old age. The better you take care of yourself, the longer you will last.\n\nI would guess either at home (heart attack or stroke) or in the hospital (all other complications), but that's a real crap shoot. Die in the ambulance and surprise me.\n\nI suppose unless your family is prone to early development of Alzheimer's Disease, which is largely unrelated to diabetes, you will die yourself.\n\nIf you did not watch your diabetes closely and consistently, then that's why you'll be dying. Otherwise, because it's the nature of living things to die. Get a pet and you'll understand better.

It would probably be better to end the relationship, unless you want to deal with the headaches & heartaches that will soon follow.

In British pubs, particularly in earlier times, bartenders kept track of customers' purchases on a slate behind the bar. Beer was sold in pints or quarts (the size of the glasses or mugs the beer was served in - no bottles back then), and had to pay up before they left. Hence, mind your Ps and Qs meant keep an eye on the tab you were running.


Either in the Education system, business, Govt. policies any thing Many countries are far from our reach instead trying to go to that countries why not we do something staying here in India.

Not being from India I am afraid I'm not quite sure what you mean exactly (I don't know what you regard as 'their rules' for example).\n\nIf you are talking about emigration then we have a saying here in England "the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence" and other countries do have an appeal, especially if they're richer or present more opportunities.\n\nWhile I have no problem with Indians emigrating here (or anywhere) I too wonder why they don't stay - perhaps they feel there aren't the opportunities to 'make a difference' in India, or they may simply see a chance to improve their own standard of living and aren't concerned with the bigger picture of what is happening to their homeland. Or could it be that over the last century or two, with the Brits running things, there's a feeling it is up to others to improve things in India?\n\nFor what it is worth I believe India has grown up since the days of the Raj and, though some of its people may be behaving like selfish children, there is enough talent and knowledge being gained by Indians across the globe to contribute immensely to its growth and maturity. Once they see India as 'the place to be' I think they'll come back.\n\nI would also like to say that I think India should remain Indian and not feel it has to become American or go back to being British. You have a great and glorious history of your own, with immense successes (and a few mistakes - but we all have those!) and an impressive cultural background. and don't forget even the language known as English has its roots in Indo-European 'soil'. \n\nSo yes, I agree wholeheratedly with you if what you are saying is be true to Indian values and ethics while developing 21st century techniques and knowledge and, above all, make your country great again. The world needs a strong India.


Well, my science tutor has given me an assignment to write all about the fourth state of matter-plasma.

i learned about this in chem.  it's hard to explain...but if you put a cd in your microwave(if your parents allow u 2) then you can see it.  if u need help, you could e-mail my teacher by getting his e-mail address from his website below.  hope that helps!


2Pe 3:10  But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. \n2Pe 3:11  Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, \n2Pe 3:12  Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? \nCould this be a nuclear explosion???  It says that everything will be burned up or dissolved..

jessicabjoseph, it does not say that he will destroy the earth. He will end the CURRENT system of things and place the survivors on the Earth in a setting comparable to Adam and Eve's. Why would he have created that and then completely change the purpose of humans? Because Satan challenged him, you might say? Well, just because Satan challenged him doesn't mean his purpose for humans has changed. If you've read more of the Bible you will find Scriptures stating that God never lies and he always keeps true to his promises. Like the Scriptures you have mentioned. He will keep true to those. The Earth will be restored to a paradise, NOT be destroyed. \n\nThe gospels really do not try to disguise teachings. They only speak in metaphors when quoting Jesus because of the way he spoke to his listeners since they were mostly uneducated and had to be explained complex things in terms they could understand. A theif coming in the night needs no watering down.\n\nYou cited Psalms 37:29: "The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever." \n\nWould you see that the righteous is inheriting the land? Or ever has? No. FAR from it. Only Adam and Eve BEFORE they sinned. But this was written after, of course. So God WILL destroy this SYSTEM of things and implement a new "rule" with him as King ON THE EARTH. He has the ability to restore it to it's original beauty.


I'm working in California, this is my first job, and I'm a computer repair technician.

Forget what people say about how it looks on a resume. This isn't the 1980's. Employers realize that people get laid off, transferred, or otherwise find other career alternatives. Gone are the days where people stay in one job for FOREVER, and keep moving up within the same company. It is not uncommon to find a longer career history than before. Some employers will get picky if you've had more than 2 to 3 jobs in the past five years, but that's only a few. However, I would try to stick with 2 to 3 jobs in 5 year time frame. It looks more stable, not like you're constantly looking for work.

Explain why the Federal Reserve uses the tool you indicated in  previous question.

They can change interest rates and buy/sell bonds on the open market.  I don't remember the last.  They probably use bonds the most often because the government uses that to finance itself.

He is hitting homeruns like crazy, does anyone think he is on some new steriods that cant be detected?

No.  The difference between players like Pujols and Bonds is age and talent.  Think of Pujols as the LeBron of baseball.  Pujols is so young and takes care of his body well.  Everyone knew from the beginning he would be a great player.  On the other hand, when you're over 40 years old and look like a truck as Bonds does, you know he has to be taking supplements to maintain his strength and figure.  Pujols doesn't need to take roids.  He might need to in about 15 years but he's smarter than that.  Plus, he's a great human being.  He's the kind of player that baseball needs more of.


I read about sex trade workers going missing all the time. No one seems to be all that concerned.\nIt does not seem to be an enormous priority for police to get out and solve these crimes.\nWhy does it appear that in our "free" society some people do not seem to enjoy the full protection of the state.\nWhy does a woman, regardless of colour, class or creed, deserve less then anyone else.\nThis really bothers me. I have been reading(what usually sets me off).\nWhat are your thoughts?

Stupid religions are one contributor to society’s twisted views; politicians motivated by corporations are another. The combination is horrifying.\n\nLike Bill Mahar said, I am embarrassed to have to call myself an American these days.\n\nLike Penn and Teller said this season on the Showtime Show “Bullshit” – there is no prostitution – it’s a myth!\n\nThis one pisses me off as much as the stupid labor laws, marijuana laws, pharmaceutical corporations lobbying the government as opposed to universal health care, and George Bush’s gross neglect to secure the borders, protect American small business interests (as it relates to immigrants and forgetting about the quotas while trading with unfairly competing and human rights violating governments such as China)\n\nI am an adult. I should go find another willing adult that wants to have sex with me and I should give her money or something valuable for her time and troubles and experience and attention! And I would do it over and over again peaceful practicing passive resistance to bullshit laws. \n\nIn fact, I just talked with my wife and she agrees! We’re flying out to a broth next month! We’ll spend as much as we can!


This is in case you already have YIM.  Look at the bottom right hand corner of your computer screen in windows.  Do you see the little white round face that looks asleep?  Double click it.  Once the windows come up, type in your screen name and then your password, followed by pressing enter.  It will automatically sign you in.  To IM someone go to messengers or contacts.  If you already have people on your IM list just double click on a name and a window will come up.  It's easy, just rememeber to use the drop down menues at the top of the YIM window.  If you have anymore questions about it, you can email me and I'll be glad to explain more! ^_^


Someone plz answer this.How to make a girl a friend and make her believe that you will be a worthy friend by chatting using Yahoo messenger?

You will have to be humorous, confident, and open to chatting. Say Hi and try to start a conversation everytime she logs on and chat about interesting topics that will make her laugh. Do not start chatting about naughty things jokingly until you understand about her sense of humor. And eventually, if she has any conflicts in life she will talk about them with you.\nIf she types fast and has no problem with fast conversations, she's had experience on IMing, so it's up to you to reach her probably high standards. The #1 thing, you must be online often. It's true. What annoys me is if some dude trying to be friends with me, but doesn't even go online often.(I mean like, once every week for only like 15 minutes.) Which gives us this thought, "He probably has a busy life. It's one or another. And he's definitely not a decent online friend."


They said that it would be ok but the wedding is 2 1/2 hours away and then we have to stay for the dinner.  There really isn't anyone to watch her because it is a family member that is getting married. I would feel really guilty if I didn't go but wouldn't it be torchure for all parties to have a baby there?  Is it rude to have a baby at a wedding?

Please don't.\nEven if your kid is the best in the world, that is asking a lot from a toddler.\nDo you have a relative that can baby sit?\nWhat about a professional sitter at the wedding or near the wedding location?

evreyone says i have a healthy weight for my age and height.. well im not comfortable with my weight.. and its hard to stay away from dr.peppers....(i normally drink 2-4 a-day) < im workin on that..... but i have a chubby belly.. any good, effective, healthy excersises or diets??

My grandma chewed me out when I was going for 2nd Dr. Pepper when I was about your age.  She said never drink more than one a day.  I stuck with that for years.  Now I don't drink any.  \n\nLet's see, doing the math, 4 Dr. Peppers a day is about 600 calories that you don't really need.  That's over 1 pound of body weight each week.  \n\nI recommend cutting back to one Dr. Pepper/day for a month and see if that makes any difference. \n\nGood luck.


I have a B.A and I’ve been looking for work at least a year and still no luck. I guess it’s who you know not what you know.

From my experience over the years, it is essential as to WHAT you know but a KEY factor in who you know. \nIf you don't know people on the inside then take different avenues at getting the job. \nIt is much more productive to see, speak or talk to someone in person than to send a resume. Then your not just a name on a paper.\n\n How long has it been?\n\nMy advice is to get a part-time job and have your other job be finding a job in your field.\nThree months is the shortest I have ever heard of and a year and a half the longest.\n\nBe willing to work your way up too.\n\nWish you the best!

I just got married and people say I am too happy.  I am always smiling and when I hear people call me by new last name I get all tingly inside.\n\nMy husband and I have been together since high school and I think I am just happy with made it through the storm and finally got marrierd after 10 years of being together.\n\nHow can I not be happy or are people just jealous?

Maybe they think you are feeling something other than love.\n\nI don't think a person can actually love too much, but I do think a person can have an unhealthy obsession for another person and still think it's nothing but love.\n\nIt doesn't really sound like that's you, though.  Glad you are so happy.

He play in Brazilian champions Corinthians of Sao Paulo.

If he plays a major part in the Argentinian team in the world cup, all the money in the world will pour down at Corinthians and they will have to end up seling him.\nChelsea is trying to restructure itself as we speak, Im quite sure, Mourinho will be paying attention at the world cup, and however makes it good, he will try and sign it.\nBut again, it all depends on how well he does on the international stage, if he fares well, I think Chelsea will stop at nothing to sign him.

Frame your answer by presenting options, Be creative, have fun, Thx.

Sounds to me as if you and your friends are ready for the "O'Reilly Factor Drinking Game".\n\n\nYou will need the following props:\n   - Any type of hat. This is "the Beret".\n   - Any type of stick (even a pencil will do). This is "the Cane".\n   - Any type of sponge or washcloth. This is "the Falafel".\n\nNow listen/watch carefully and follow these simple rules...\n\nSHOUT LIAR:\nWhenever you think O'Reilly has lied, shout out "LIAR" and then begin to count to 5; when you reach 5, shout "SHUT UP". (For example: "LIAR-1-2-3-4-5-SHADDAP"). Count as fast or as slow as you wish.\n\nIf everyone joins in and shouts "LIAR" before you reach "SHUT UP", the last person to join in has to take a drink. \n\nIf everyone but one person joins in before "SHUT UP", the one who did not join in is awarded the Cane and becomes "the Geezer" (representing the median age of O'Reilly's audience (60, IIRC)). The Geezer must take two drinks when being awarded the Cane, and must take a drink whenever anyone else is forced to drink.\n\nIn either of the above cases, the person who first shouted "LIAR" is awarded the Falafel and becomes "the Whistleblower". If more than one person does not shout "LIAR", the person who first shouted "LIAR" is awarded the Beret and becomes "the Frenchman".\n\nIf there is no Whistleblower by the end of the third "LIAR" shout, the first person to reach the Falafel becomes the Whistleblower.\n\nIf there is no Geezer by the end of the third "LIAR" shout, then the Whistleblower must award the Cane to the person of his choice. That person becomes the Geezer and must take two drinks.\n\nSHUT UP:\nIf O'Reilly says "shut up" (or equivalent) everyone but the Whistleblower has to shut up and drink.\n\nFRENCH:\nIf O'Reilly mentions anything French, the Frenchman and one person the Frenchman chooses (and of course the Geezer) must drink.\n\nTOUGH GUY:\nIf O'Reilly threatens any person or group, or if he calls any person or group a coward, the Frenchman gets to pick someone else (and of course the Geezer) to drink.\n\nTALKING POINT:\nDuring the Talking Point segment, the Geezer gets to pick one drinking buddy to toast the point with him; they must raise their glasses, say "Here, Here", and then take a drink.\n\nNO SPIN ZONE:\nIf O'Reilly says "No Spin Zone" (or if the graphic appears on screen), the Geezer must stand up and spin in a circle until one of the following happens:\n   - O'Reilly says "No Spin Zone" (or displays graphic) again\n   - The current Geezer loses the Cane to a new Geezer \n   - Something happens that requires the Geezer to take a drink\n   - There is a commercial break\n\nVIEWER MAIL:\nDuring the viewer mail segment, if the letter is PRO-BILL, the Geezer and a buddy of his choice must stand, say "Here, Here" and take a drink.\n\nIf the letter is ANTI-BILL, the Whistleblower gets to choose one person (and of course the Geezer) to drink.\n\nMULTIPLE ROLES:\nClearly more than one of the special roles ("Geezer", "Frenchman", and "Whistleblower") may belong to the same person at the same time. When the roles come in conflict, the "Whistleblower" role supercedes the other roles and the "Frenchman" role supercedes the "Geezer" role.\n\nWHEN IN DOUBT:\nIf there is a dispute about the above rules, all authority rests with the Whistleblower. The Whistleblower must say "I hold the Sacred Falafel" when rendering his judgment. If he forgets to say "I hold the Sacred Falafel", he must trade roles (and props!) with the Frenchman. If there is no Frenchman yet he must lay down the Falafel and pick up the Beret.\n\nIf the dispute occurs when there is no Whistleblower, the first person to reach


Our family recently adopted a missionary family from our church.  This is a new project so we're starting out a little blind.  Besides including them in our prayers and keeping up correspondence with them, what ideas do you have to support a missionary family?  We are putting together a care pacakge.  They live in Tokyo so they have modern conveniences but there are a few things we know they miss from home that we're including.  What would you put in the package?  Input would be greatly appreciated as I would like to put together a package for future adoptive families to help them know how to support their missionaries.  Thanks in advance for your thoughtful consideration of this question.

Send them a videotape of your church and it's members, voicing your support for them in both finances and prayer. If a picture is worth a thousand words, a video is worth a million.\n\nYou could also send them some Christian books or CDs that have recently come out since they may have no/limited access to those kinds of things. Devotional books or Bible studies and things like that could help too.


I mean, you do it on your  breast. why cant  breast stroke be called frog stroke or somthig?

When most people refer to "freestyle" they are actually referring to the stroke called the front crawl. The term freestyle came from competitive swimming. The event called freestyle actually allows you do to any stroke. Most swimmers (actually I've never seen anyone swim any other stroke but the front crawl) swim the front crawl because it is the most efficient and the fastest of the four competitive strokes (front crawl, backstroke, breaststroke and the butterfly).


Determining if the patient is OK for extubation, the doctor ask the nurse about the latest blood gases.

the p is partial pressure. if the po2 is 65 depending on the patient that is on the low side. the pco2 means the patint is breathing a little fast, but not a bad pco2... i wouldn't extubate unless i knew the rest of the blood gas was ok? if the ph was 7.35-7.5 i would....  if the patient looked okay.... pulled good volumes on the vent

It will all depend on the local laws of the state. You mention your name is not on mortgage - but is your name on the house title deed?\n\nIf your name is on the deed, up to 50% of the house MAY be yours - and you may have claim to the other 50% - again depending on local law.\n\nIf your name is NOT on the title deed, then you may have claim - but the decision may have to be made by a judge.\n\nGood luck


i have reasonably small arms, and bi/triceps. what can i do to fix this up?

I used to be in the same shoes than you.  If arms are small and you want to build them up do the following \n\n1-work out arms 2 times per week with free waits.  Use enough weights to only be able to do 10 reps. That will build bulk.  do only three excercises, tricepts curls, bicept curls, dips, etc. per excercise day.\n\n2-take amino acides and protein with your diet.


Ok I had my Yahoo! Messenger up while I was away from the computer. When I came back it said something about I was kicked off since I signed on on a different device, or soemthing like that. I thought one of my friends was messing with me, since I told my 2 close friends it. But one of my friends asked me what I was talking about earlier, when I hadn't even sent her an IM. She told me that I sent her a site and also put, "Someone told me this was u". About a week earlier, I got the same IM from someone I don't know. An my other friend told me the same thing. Should I be worried about this? I changed my password, but still, how could someone I don't know have gotten my password? Can you please help me out on this one?

It can and does happen.  I lost an account because someone had jacked my password and changed it.  I fought with yahoo for 2 months over this, trying to get my account back with no luck.  I could even prove the account was mine, but still didn't get it back.  Anyway, change your password regularily, and also run a spyware scan and keep your virus software up to date.  Trojan viruses collect and send your passwords out so be sure to keep all your software updated.


this question is soley for atheists. i've wasted 5 points to ask it, so please dont be cheap and give me stupid/irrelevant responses for your 2 points.\n\nbeing that atheism is not an organised belief system (perhaps not yet), i'd like to know the beliefs of the various atheists here. what do you think about life, the universe... even creation? i'm very interested :) \n\ni, myself might be classified as atheist, though, not quite. i'll only explicate my beliefs if i'm asked :)

Well...I'm a Buddhist. But I guess since I dont believe in God, Satan, Heaven or Hell, that makes me somewhat atheistic. I generally follow what the Lord Buddha taught on life, which is written in the Four Noble Truths and the  Noble Eightfold Path as well as many others of the Buddhas writings. But I wont go into that too much for spaces sake.\n\nI dont believe in creation. I believe in evolution. I cant explain where life originated or how the universe started or anything like that, but then again, I dont feel the need to. I understand that some things in life cant be explained right away, and I'm fine with that. I'm not going to go and create an invisble omnipotent father figure in the sky to explain my world to me and fill in the blanks where we dont have answers yet. There is no way someone can have an answer to every question. Something just doesnt add up when people have an answer to all lifes questions.\n\nSo, youve heard from me...Now what are your thoughts on all this? I'm curious...Have a good one.\n\n\nPeace


But I can't get any sound to come from the speakers.What's up?

We have several things to work with, like the mole that digs up the sand (and we need more sand), when the ball goes into the thorney bushes, and our ripped and messed up net. I'm wondering what can keep a mole from diging up the ground making holes everywhere. What kind of barrier would keep it out?

They make stakes you can put into the ground that let out small electric pulses that keep them away.  I'm not sure how far away from the stake it will work but it should work if you put them on the corners and by the net (outside the sand).\nYou can find them at places like Home Depot.


For only a few seconds I saw something from 15 ft away that looked like an extremely large chameleon or a baby alligator and I want to identify it.\nIt was dull black in color, and 8-10 inches long. I think the rather slim tail was more like a lizard. This was in the piney woods, close to the Intracoastal Waterway in northeast Florida, upstairs in a house. Lizards are all around on the upstairs porch... but they aren't that big, or that color. Do alligators climb stairs?

Alligators have a depressed (flattened) body and a compressed tail. Also, most young specimes are more brightly colored than "dull black" as you describe it. If you see it again, check the snout (long and with terminal nostrils in alligators), and the eyes (vertical pupils in alligators... but also in many lizards such as geckos). I'm puzzled by your reference to a chameleon, though, because those are not precisely typically lizard-like. I'm guessing it was probably a lizard; the dull coloration could be due to its being a large, rather old specimen.\n\n---------------\nUpdate: Thanks Suttkus! I wasn't thinking of anoles, and I know that no chameleons occur there :-P


I'm a teenager. I'm very mature for my age though. (Not to brag or anything) But I've know my friend for my entire life because his dad is my godfather (not blood related). He's 3 years older than me but that's okay because he dated by friend that is one year younger than me.(I meet his friend when they were together) Me and him were never really buddy-buddy because I had an older brother who would torture me and insult me infront of him when he and his family would visit. Last vacation, he was so nice to me and we talked (never one on one) and stuff. I love him but when i came over his house last Christmas, he was copletly shy around me and weird. Help. And please don't say I don't know what love is.

Maybe he feels the same way, and that is why he acted shy and weird. Could be he isn't as comfortable in a family setting as you. Next time you see him, ask him if he would like to go to a movie or arcade as some time. Something that you know he has an interest in.


Whether it was you or your spouse or boyfriend or girlfriend.....  i just want to know if someone who has commited domestic violence can be reformed with help.  He has since been diagnosed with severe depression and borderline personality.  He has started meds and is going to counseling.  Please tell me what you think....  i dont want to be hurt again or to die.....

people with borderline personality disorder can be very scary. they take on the feelings of others and are pretty much out of touch with their own bodies. i work with them and they can be the sweetest at times and then they can be the scariest, mouthiest people ever. i myself have also went to anger management and it really didnt do much for me. i was 17 and i thought that the world revolved around me and it wasnt until i was 21 did i realize that the way that i was acting was foolish and thta i could really hurt someone. so i really dont think that is effective. you have to find it within yourself and really see that what you are doing is dumb. and with the fact that he has borderline personality he probably wont find that. i think that you are putting yourself in real danger and i hope that there are no children involved in this. if there is i would ask you to please get them out of there!

I'd like to lose 20 lbs, in a few months if possible. however, I want to be safe and do it in the old-fashioned, healthy way, eating less calories and exercising. is this a reasonable goal? it it safe?

it depends on how many months a "few" is and how overweight you are.  my best advice for losing weight would be to concern yourself more with the eating healthy and exercising part - the weight loss will come naturally.  i think that 20 pounds is possible, although i believe the general rule of thumb is that you shouldn't lose more than a pound/week.  drink a lot of water - it will help curb your appetite and keep you from losing water weight which will come back quickly.

I've heard on-line universities pay poorly for lots of work. Has anyone had a really good experience? A really bad experience? Please be specific about what happened and where. I want to benefit from the experience of others. I'm retired and interested in earning income, preferably at home, doing something I enjoy. Doing a bit of good would be lovely. All suggestions welcome.

I have had so-so experiences. I am currently teaching undergraduates online and the pay is around 1300 for a nine week class that is capped at 20 students. At my school you can teach up to six classes at once. They pay you 66% of your pay in the beginning and the final 33% at the end after you have turned in grades. I am teaching people who are adult learners who have not been in school for a while. So at times it gets very frustrating. The biggest issue that I had was with plagiarism. I taught two classes recently and it ended up being around 20 hours per week on the computer doing work. Some places to go are the University of Phoenix Online, Kaplan University or Axia College which has been bought by UOP online. I think that if you are retired then you would be perfect for an online teacher position. I was working two jobs and trying to teach at the same time and it was rough for me. In addition, I am in an online MBA program. I hope this helps you out!


Im scared to go to the beach or do anything where I may have to take my shirt off in front of my girlfriend.  This is because I spend most days in the gym, and although I've gotten pretty big, Ive gotten really bad stretch marks as well.  Is there any way to make them go away???

haha this was just asked i thought.  I get the same problem on my upper arms bro, coco butter lotion W/ vitemin E twice a day when you get up and when you go to sleep every day.  It will take the color out of the marks and if they're smaller make em heal away.
