This is a sampling device used by aquatic and marine biologists. Since 1930 the Petersen grab has been used in fresh water for collecting macroscopic fauna in sand, gravel, marl, clay or clay combinations. If used in salt water, it must be painted for protection. Since it has been widely used over 6 decades, it is ideal for comparing samples with data collected previously by a Petersen grab. Vent holes permit water to flow through while the grab is being lowered, minimizing diagonal movement as well as reducing the frontal shock wave generated by descent. Jaws close clamshell fashion.

please tell me examples about syntax "case" &"create function" in sql language?

1. Create function\n===================\n\nCreates a user-defined function, which is a saved Transact-SQL routine that returns a value. User-defined functions cannot be used to perform a set of actions that modify the global database state. User-defined functions, like system functions, can be invoked from a query. They also can be executed through an EXECUTE statement like stored procedures.\n\nUser-defined functions are modified using ALTER FUNCTION, and dropped using DROP FUNCTION.\n\nSyntax\n------\n\nCREATE  FUNCTION [ owner_name. ] function_name \n    ( [ { @parameter_name [AS] scalar_parameter_data_type [ = default ] } [ ,...n ] ] ) \n\nRETURNS scalar_return_data_type\n\n[ WITH < function_option> [ [,] ...n] ] \n\n[ AS ]\n\nBEGIN \n    function_body \n    RETURN scalar_expression\nEND\n\n\n2. CASE function\n====================\n\nAs a SQL Server DBA, I realized that SQL Server has no function for Title Case, like the "initcap" function in Oracle. So I've made one that capitalizes the first letter of every word in a given text string: \n\ncreate function initcap (@text varchar(4000))\nreturns varchar(4000)\nas\n\nbegin\ndeclare @counter int, \n@length int,\n@char char(1),\n@textnew varchar(4000)\n\nset @text= rtrim(@text)\nset @text= lower(@text)\nset @length = len(@text)\nset @counter = 1\n\nset @text = upper(left(@text, 1) ) + right(@text, @length - 1) \n\nwhile @counter <> @length --+ 1\nbegin\nselect @char = substring(@text, @counter, 1)\n\nIF @char = space(1)  or @char =  '_' or @char = ','  or @char = '.' or @char = '\'\n or @char = '/' or @char = '(' or @char = ')'\nbegin\nset @textnew = left(@text, @counter)  + upper(substring(@text, \n@counter+1, 1)) + right(@text, (@length - @counter) - 1)\nset @text = @textnew\nend\n\nset @counter = @counter + 1\nend\n\nreturn @text\nend\n\n*answer ends*

what is creative startegy in advertising?

In advertising, as in many aspects of life, there are STRATEGIES and there are TACTICS.  \n\nStrategy is your company's long term marketing scheme.  For example, Dodge is a major car manufacturer.  What is there STRATEGY?  The Dodge strategy is to attract young, active, men who are interested in muscle cars and performance, as well as the rugged outdoor types for the pick-up truck segment.  A third strategy is the business use of their heavy duty trucks.\n\nSo...what is a TACTIC?  A tactic is a move you make to implement your creative strategy.  In the example of Dodge, a tactic they might utilize is to sponsor outdoor events where people that fit their target demographic might see the cars in action.  The tactic follows the strategy.  Without a solid strategic plan, tactics have no cohesiveness to them.  \n\nI'm sure if you look around, you'll find LOTS of examples of GOOD STRATEGY being backed up with SOLID TACTICS.  You'll also find tactics being employed without strategy...this usually looks like chaotic "let me advertise everything to everyone everywhere" marketing.

Honestly, did capturing Saddam justify our invasion?

Hi there,\n\nI think the reason is to show off America's power or their greed for power.\n\nHere's why I think so-\n\nThe USA first attacked Iraq and captured Saddam Hussein near Tikrit. The reason Mr.Bush gave for that is that the USA suspects some biological weapons in Iraq.\n\nAfter the war was over but nothing revealed, Mr.Bush apologized for this bliss by saying that he received false intelligence reports. Now that's easy, it's the same thing as I kick you hard and then apologize. Whatever the damage should be done, it was done. \n\nSo I think the reason for these attacks is not any terrorist threat to USA or the greed for oil, but it is just to show off it's power to the world after the attack of Sep 11th. I just think it is a ploy to scare away the people. It means something like Mr.Bush wants to say "We are rich, we are powerful, we can do anything, so don't mess with us."\n\nI don't mean to offend all the Americans out there. I just told you my opinion about the attacks. If I offended anyone, my sincere apologies. And let me make it clear, I'm not being partial to Mr.Hussein. I think he ruled Iraq for quite some time with an iron fist.\n\nI just told you my opinion frankly, but anyone of you here are free to disagree with this. After all, everyone has their own thought process. \n\n\nrule wid style n luv@vinny

what is the name of the oil company owned by the kennedy family?

If you're talking about the american political family who made their wealth in oil it is the rockefeller's and Standard Oil \n \nJoe kennedy started out as a broker and got his real start to wealth by being the only legal distributer of Gin during prohibition.\n\nCitizens energy is a non profit company  formed in 1979 by Joe Kennedy II with the following Mission : MISSION STATEMENT\nCitizens Energy Corporation exists to help make life's basic needs more accessible and affordable. Beginning in 1979 with oil-trading ventures in Latin America and Africa, Citizens has used revenues from commercial enterprises to channel millions of dollars into charitable programs in the U.S. and abroad. \n\nWhether heating the homes of the elderly and poor in Massachusetts, lowering the cost of prescription drugs for millions of Americans, or starting solar heating projects in Jamaica and Venezuela, Citizens creates social ventures as innovative as the businesses that finance them. At the same time, Citizens Energy is constantly on the lookout to use market opportunities to help the poor and needy. At Citizens Energy, we believe no one should be left out in the cold.

Did Emachine System Recovery with Suppplied Disk, but it did not put the Microsoft Word prgram on PC.  Help?

Did MS word come pre-installed on the system?  Generally it's just a trial of the software which doesn't do much good.  If it came with the system howerver there will be a separate installation disc for it.  My experience is that emachines generally ship with MS Works suite and not MS Office.  However, there are free alternative Microsoft Office packages. For example, Open Office.  It's 100% compatable with MS Office and it's free!\n\n\nYou last option if your are sure your system came with MS office, would be to call e-machines tech support and have them send you a new disc.


How many red slippers from the Wizard of Oz for sale are real?

It's hard to say for sure exactly how many pairs ther were, as MGM did not keep specific records. It is also possible that there were pairs that were destroyed, as many of the current authenticated pairs on the market were saved on their way to the incinerator. But it is known that there were several pairs made for Garland, which was a common practice for key props so that if anything happened to them during filming, they could be quickly changed.\n\nBut there are many "real" red slippers from the Wizard of Oz that Garland wouldn't have worn. Remember, the Wicked Witch of the East had  pair on when she was hit by the house and Margaret Hamilton (Wicked witch of the West) had a pair on when she flew past the window on a broom (in the sepia colored scenes). Also, Garland's double Bobbie Koshay would have had several pairs made for her.\n\nSo in the end, there would probably be quite a few "real" ruby slippers out there that were actually involved in the production of the 1939 classic The Wizard of Oz.

Can we  change our document color on scanner?

Hi there Ashish,\n\nFirst of all, I would like to make clear that a scanner is used to 'scan' whatever we put on that 'glass screen'. However, in Windown XP, you have a scanner wizard which provides you with options like 'grayscale' or 'color'. I think that will be the maximum we can modify the image 'while' scanning. However, after we scan the image, we can edit the color or other things by softwares like Photoshop or Nero Photosnap. There are various softwares available on net for this purpose. The 'Paint Dot Net' released by microsoft is also quite user-friendly. \n\nSo remember, a scanner is a device that is used to transfer external images to our pc. Any changes we make to the image before or after scanning won't be considered as the changes made by the 'scanner'. We change the settings via our PC.\n\nHope this answered your query. If not, pleae let me know, and I'll be glad to be of further assistance. Bye!!\n\nrule wid style n luv@vinny.

Will China replace the U.S. as the World Superpower someday?

Try reading the book " The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order" Samuel P. Huntington, 1996. He predicts that future conflicts will be determined by cultural factors more than economic or ideological factors. The Western world needs to develop a deeper understanding of religious and philosophical concepts of other civilizations. Religious and cultural fundamentalism can only gain ground by using for their own benifit the contemporary problems such as underdevelopment, unemployment, poverty and racism. And yes China, will become the next World Superpower and will have a strong relationship with Rusia and Japan. These are the results of his studies based on history and facts.

who will the chiefs take in this years nfl draft?

Kansas City has the 20th overall pick in the draft. Although Herm Edwards is the new coach, I don't expect too much of a change with their game plan or draft strategy.\n\nIf I were Edwards though, I would address my concerns to the wide receiver area. Tony Gonzalez hasn't been himself because nobody has been effective enough to lure defenders away from Gonzo. Sinorice Moss(little brother of Pro Bowler Santana Moss) is a good choice, but if he's not available, Santonio Holmes and Chad Jackson are also good options.

It's impossible to answer. Some fish are predators, some live entirely on fruit and nuts, some fish live on mud, some live on plankton, some on microscopic algae.\n\nSome fish eat only jellyfish, or just a single species of algae and won't touch anything else. Other fis will eat anything that moves to slow whether it's a baby crocodile, a dead elephant, a lettuce leaf, slime scraped off the rocks or just a pile of mud.\n\nTo discuss the nutritional requirements of fish in even the most basic detail would take several years and result in a several books.\n\nYou will need to narrow down what fish species you are asking about to get any sensible answers.

what are the technological boundaries for traveling faster than the speed of light ?

It's something along the lines that mass increases with speed. The closer you get to the speed of light the more mass you achieve, which requires more energy to move you. This increases exponentially, always getting closer to the speed of light, until you are essentially immovable, you can't get any heavier so can't move any faster. I heard this explained in a college class once and probably totally got it wrong, but it's in that vein.

This sort of depends on what you mean by natural wonder, but there are many.\n\nOne of my favourite is the scablands of the Western U.S. centering about the Snake River Canyon.

As the Laurentian continental glaciers receded north, one limb that had been blocking a giant lake gave way, and the water rushed all the way from about Montana to the Pacific. I'm recalling all of this from memory.

One thing you can do is track your cycles so you know approximately when you are ovulating.  Some women use commercial ovulation test kits that can be purchased at your local drug store.  Other women track their basal temp with a basal thermometer, along with noting what their cervical mucous looks like.  When your mucus is clear and stringy, this indicates that you are ovulating.  There is also what's called an ovulation microscope, which shows ferning when you are ovulating.  What you can also do is use software to record your temp and mucus data, and it will tell you when you are ovulating and when the best chance of getting pregnant is.  I always recommend femta which is at www.femta.com and ovusoft which is at ovusoft.com

Why is it that in this day and age homosexuality not accepted?

I wish I could give you a straight answer.  I am like you, I love meeting new people of all races, ethnicities, genders, I like everyone.  Society is too closed minded.  Saying homosexuality is a sin so we should hate gays is ludacris.  If Christians hate gays because they sin then shouldn't they hate alcoholics, rapists, murderers, all other religions, democrates, just the same?  Shouldn't they put forth just as much anger and protest against these groups as well? People who hate homosexuals have ill logic.  We as open minded people need to set the standard and put morons in their place.


If your anger is broken and you blew your top, then keep it broken, If you fix it you could really hurt yourself next time.


Cockroaches and heights. The last thing I want to be doing is running from a swarm of cockroaches and being cornered into a dead end where the only escape route is twenty stories down... at that point, which I will happily take a knife and slit my throat rather than have the cockroaches crawling all over me... and forcing me over to my death...

In fact, Switzerland is starting to lose its edge as it is trying to harmonise its laws with those of the European Union. As such, a lot of people are starting to move their money to other financial centers around the world. \n\nSingapore has a top class banking system and its private wealth sector has been growing in leaps and bounds. Singapore has a good legal system, has tight banking laws, handles banking secrecy well and is well respected around the world.

See Synonyms at conduct. \n(2)To adjust to a requirement; regulate: controlled trading on the stock market; controls the flow of water. \n(3)To hold in restraint; check: struggled to control my temper. \n(4)To reduce or prevent the spread of: control insects; controlled the fire by dousing it with water. \n\nThe meaning of Control:To direct or control the use of; handle: manage a complex machine tool. \n\nBasically they are one and the same thing from my conclution.


This one is about the stupid cartoon. Here is a link http://cryptome.org/muhammad.htm?

It is not simply the cartoons that started this violence.  Sure, they were the flashpoint, but this has been building up for years.  Radical muslims hate the western world.  They hate the free speech.  We are two different cultures, and it will be interesting how this will play out.\nI personally think that normal, honest, good natured Muslims, of which 99 percent of Muslims are, should begin to do something about their radical 1 percent brothers.  It's getting old to keep saying "Those are just the extremists that are beheading and bombing."  Well show some damn remorse when it happens, and then teach or kill, whichever the radicals respond to.\nSide note:  Prez Ahmadinejad of Iran blames the Jews for the cartoons.  "President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said the caricatures showed the "impudence and rudeness" of Western newspapers against the prophet as well as the "maximum resentment of the Zionists (Jews) ruling these countries against Islam and Muslims."  Yup, and the Holocaust didn't happen.

Would the Olympics be more popular if we get to vote on the athletes?

No, besides the fact that it would be impossible to have live realtime results which would force long wait times between performances and the athletes receiving their scores, most people would only give good scores to the players from their own country. The general public is not unbias enough or knowledgable enough in the various competitions to give an accurate score. It would become a popularity contest and turn the olympics into a joke.

In horse racing, why does the jockey whip the horse's back side? And why does he whip the neck area?

Typically the whip is used to motivate the horse to move faster (although there is plenty of speculation that it does just the opposite). Whipping on the shoulders is usually because tight quarters or crowding is restricting the jockey from reaching back to the horse's rump.


Absolutely, just look at some of those frauds out there.  The guy that sells that little piece of green cloth?  Don Stewart is a total fraud.  How about the Bakers, they stole millions!

Magna Carta (Latin for "Great Charter", literally "Great Paper"), also known as Magna Carta Libertatum, is an English 1215 charter which limited the power of English Monarchs, specifically King John, from absolute rule. Magna Carta was the result of disagreements between the Pope and King John and his barons over the rights of the king: Magna Carta required the king to renounce certain rights and respect certain legal procedures, and to accept that the will of the king could be bound by law. Magna Carta is widely considered to be the first step in a long historical process leading to the rule of constitutional law. Hope this helps! Or you could go to the source below!

How many pounds per week do you lose on phentermine?

It really depends on the person. After taking it for 2 months I went from 151 lbs. to 118 lbs. (a size 12 to a 6) All I did was watch what I ate (low fat diet) and I did not excersize at all. That was two years ago. Of course I did not keep all of the weight off. Right now I weigh 130 lbs., which is fine with me. I try to eat foods that are low in fat and I cut out cokes and sweet tea and started to drink water or diet drinks.

Has anyone ever wondered what the people who discriminate against the disabled would do with a disability?

Actually if you have made it this far and dealt with it you are doing great. It is no fun being disabled in any way. This will be kind of long but I am going to tell you a story. I drove a school bus for 11 years and one of my faviorite moments was when we pulled up next to a handycap bus and there was this poor fella in the other one that was physicly and mentally disabled if pressered he would pull out his hair and by that time of life was quite a sight. The kids in the back of the bus was making fun of him and I pulled the bus over and was going to give them a lecture. When one of my kids stood up to the 4 or 5 bullys and just flat told them that they was a automobile accident or diesese away from being on that bus and they better shut up. I was flabergasted, he had said better then I ever could have what was needed to be said. I hope that you can keep up the good fight and keep your head up high cause you are alot better person then any of the kids or people that pick on you.

Can I claim a handicapped daughter who I have guardianship of as an exemption  She gets SSI $4,000 or more ayr

I went to irs.gov and searched for dependants and was refered to Publication 501 which contains the following information.\n\nExemptions for Dependents \nYou are allowed one exemption for each person you can claim as a dependent. You can claim an exemption for a dependent even if your dependent files a return. \n\nBeginning in 2005, the term “dependent” means: \n\nA qualifying child, or\nA qualifying relative.\n\nThe terms “qualifying child” and “qualifying relative” are defined later. \n\nYou can claim an exemption for a qualifying child or qualifying relative only if these three tests are met. \n\nDependent taxpayer test.\nJoint return test.\nCitizen or resident test.\n\nTests To Be a Qualifying Child:\nThe child must be your son, daughter, stepchild, eligible foster child, brother, sister, half brother, half sister, stepbrother, stepsister, or a descendant of any of them. \n\nThe child must be (a) under age 19 at the end of the year, (b) under age 24 at the end of the year and a full-time student, or (c) any age if permanently and totally disabled. \n\nThe child must have lived with you for more than half of the year. 2 \n\nThe child must not have provided more than half of his or her own support for the year. \n\nIf the child meets the rules to be a qualifying child of more than one person, you must be the person entitled to claim the child as a qualifying child.

how many electrons could fit in the n = 3 level?

It does not just have to do with Bohr's quantum number (n). It is also to do with the angular momentum quantum number(L) and electron spin (+1/2 or -1/2). Therefore, if n=1, L can only = 0 and the result is 2 electons. One with a spin of +1/2 and the other with a spin of -1/2. \nIf n=3, L can be either 0,1, or 2. \nMeaning, \nif n=3 and L=0 this results in 2 electrons on the sub-shell. \nIf n=3 and L=1 this results in 6 electrons on the sub-shell. \nIf n=3 and L=2 this results in 10 electrons on the sub-shell.\n\nThis results in a maximum of 10+6+2 = 18 electrons in the shell.\n\nThis is because if L=2, the maximum number of possible electron states on a sub-shell of n=3 are as follows:\n\nGiven, m = -L, -(L-1)..0..(L-1), L\n\nm(magnetic quantum number) can have a value of -2, -1, 0, 1, 2 with the electrons having a spin of +1/2 or -1/2 resulting in a maximum of 10 electons in that sub-shell.\n\nThis is all based on the Pauli Exclusion Principle which states no two fermions (electrons) can exist on the same sub-shell with the same spin and magnetic quantum number(m).


Can anyone tell me the name of the author of the book on the so-called Holocaust "The Great Hoax" ?

It is truly sad to see those of this day and age believing that the holocaust didn’t occur.  In the final days of World War II relatives of mine entered some of the camps with the troops.  In our family we still have some photographs of these places.  They did exist!  The Holocaust was real!  \n\nWere the Jews the only ones killed by Hitler?  No.  Did others cause the death of more people, certainly.  Stalin and Mao quickly come to mind.  However, none set up a machine to make death a production line function as did Hitler.   \n\nTo not accept facts when provided and checkable is to walk down the same roads of the past.  Understanding this is not new with our time, but has been an adage down through time.\n\nHistory repeats itself.  – An English proverb found in many cultures and times.  For example, Thucydides, from History, I 410 BCE.\n\nThe aim of history is to assemble real facts and real speeches, to the end that lovers of knowledge may be instructed and persuaded. – Polybius, from Histories, II, 125 BCE.\n\nNot to know what happened before one was born is always to be a child. – Cicero, De oratore, 80 BCE.

will marriage exstend among black and white?

At this point, in the United States, this seems to be a regional issue.  In some areas of the United States, interracial marriages are frequent enough to not even garner any notice whereas other areas, this would still be considered a scandalous occurance.\n\nFrom my experience, here in Southern California, it is common to see interracial couples.  I personally am a Caucasian who it married to a Hispanic/Indian (from India, not Native American) and we don't seem to garner any special attention here at home.  We have noticed that we get some looks when we travel to other regions of the U.S.  We also had a friend who was having a wedding in Illinois that we were going to participate in who warned us that we may get some looks because of our interracial marriage.\n\nIn the long, I believe that interracial marriages will end up being a non-issue although it may take a lot of time in some regions.

what is barack obama's greatest impact on society as a whole?

He hasn't at this point.  He was elected to the Senate only a few years ago, so there really hasn't been any chances to do much yet.  He is a good public speaker, and ran a positive campaign, so a lot of people like him for it, which I respect.\nHowever, a lot of people point to his being the first black Senator from Illinois.  What they don't mention is that both candidates (Republican and Democrat) were black, so no matter what, it was going to happen.\nSecond, he ran a campaign talking about how the government needs to stop being partisan and work together.  But if you do a search on any major news site, you'll see he has managed to annoy a lot of Republicans with partisan comments, including following Martin Luther King Day.  More recently (as in a day ago), he upset Senator McCain, over lobbying reform, by taking a very hardline Democratic approach.\n\nSo, ask that question again when he is up for re-election is 2010, then you can tell how he handled his first term as US Senator.

what's the Breakthrough Propulsion Physics Program?

The Breakthrough Propulsion Physics Program (BPP) is a research program which was funded from 1996 through 2002 by NASA, in the hope of studying various proposals for "revolutionary" methods of spacecraft propulsion which would require breakthroughs in physics before they could be realized, hence the name. Specific proposals studied under the aegis of the BPP included the Diametric drive, the Pitch drive, the Bias drive, the Alcubierre drive, the Disjunction drive, and the Differential sail.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breakthrough_Propulsion_Physics_Program

Is it normal to be angry with your therapist if you don't feel you're getting better?

Actually, you have to look at something else first.\nPeople don't go to a therapist to feel better unless they didn't do their homework on what going to therapy is like. Peopel expect to leave therapy feeling better.\nTherapy is designed to help you see your self-image better.  Here's the problem:\n1) We all have multiple self-images.\n2) Some of them are false.\n3) Some of us are VERY attached to our self-images.\n4) Looking at them makes it hard to keep up false self-images.\n5) People who make us look at them are a threat to our self-images.\n6) Since we rarely differentiate (try to keep seperate) real threats to our safety vs. threats to our self-image we often react with fear, then anger, then attack to challenges to our self-image.\n7) This leaves us stuck with a faulty self-image because we confused reality knocking on our door with an actual threat to our survival.\n\nIf you are resisting therapy, yes, you are angry.  The only way to know for sure is to look deeply at why you are angry, and discuss this with, you guessed it, your therapist.  At the same time, if you don't trust your therapist, in most cases you can choose a new one, but it will only prolong your pain to keep avoiding the real reason, whatever it is, if you are resisting therapy.\nHiding things, including your dissatisfaction, will not help.  Tell them.  If you are a minor, tell your parents everything you can (they are legally and financially responsible for you).\nRemember, if you are angry, that means you're scared of something and seeing a threat.  IF the threat is "just" lack of progress, then change therapists.  If the threat is something else, like getting too close to the truth, you've got a GOOD therapist, and need to face it like an adult.  We never stop growing if we're smart.  I've only known one real fully adult person in my life and I'm 43!  Trust yourself to know when you're squirming away from the truth, and when you're standing still.  Ask your therapist to be more aggressive in finding the problem.  If this causes you to squirm, you know what the problem is.  You don't want them looking too close, so stick with it and look.

Anybody have any good science project ideas for a 5th grader?

The best project will be one that has some interest to the 5th grader. So my granddaughter likes animals. But my youngest boy likes photography. So a pinhole camera would bore my granddaughter but would have caught the interest of my son.\n\nThat being said... Here's an easy one. Go to a store and find some cheap analog clocks (clocks with hands) that run on a single AA battery. Then go to Radio Shack and get some battery holders and some "aligator clip leads" -- short wires with clips on either side. And get a bunch of different brand batteries of different sizes (if you are trying to get by simply, use only AA batteries and then you just need the clocks and the batteries).\n\nTake off the battery covers and hook up the battery holders to the clocks with the clipleads (unless you are only using AA batteries). Then put batteries in and see how long it takes for the clocks to run down. This may take a long time. If you are short on time, try this. Get a flashlight bulb at radio shack and put it across the battery with the clock. So this way the battery is running the clock and the flashlight bulb at the same time. Note the time on the the clock and check it every day to see when the clock stops. You can graph the results easily.\n\nQuestions:\nWhat lasts longer, a AA, a C, or a D battery?\nWhat brand of battery lasts longer?\nWhat lasts longer, a standard carbon-zinc battery or an alkaline battery? What is the cost difference per unit? Per run time?\n\nA little research on the internet about how batteries are built, and the different technologies (carbon-zinc, alkaline, nicad, NiMh, lithium, lead-acid) and you have a great project.

how is the movie king arthur different from the real story?

I assume you are referring to the most recent King Arthur movie, starring Keira Knightley as Guenevere.  This particular King Arthur movie is based on one of the first historic accounts of Arthur by Geoffrey of Monmouth.  Monmouth's account describes King Arthur as a Roman-Briton soldier that helps the remaining Britons to fight against invaders. So, for the most part, give or take a few overly indulged details and extra scenes, the movie is surprising accurate.

Daddy Yankee Biography: As the urban regional style of Latin music heated up in the mid-2000s, spearheaded by the burgeoning reggaeton sound, Daddy Yankee above all led the charge, selling hundreds of thousands of CDs in the wake of his international breakthrough hit, "Gasolina." The reggaeton star enjoyed success not only throughout Latin America but also in the lucrative markets of the United States and Europe, and alongside fellow urban regional figureheads Don Omar, Tego Calderón, Akwid, Vico-C, el General, and Ivy Queen, he played a primary role in legitimizing the music style. For instance, even such highbrow media outlets as The New York Times and the BBC took note (the former crowning Barrio Fino as one of the best hip-hop albums of 2004), not to mention industry publications like Billboard, which tracked the exploding urban regional market with fervor. And too, the stateside rap community certainly recognized Yankee's hitmaking power, as such artists as Lil Jon and Noreaga came calling in search of crossover success. Born Raymond Ayala on Febuary 3, 1977, in Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico, Daddy Yankee was no stranger to success when "Gasolina" catapulted him to international fame in 2004. Initially influenced by both salsa and hip-hop, he'd been working his way to the top of the reggaeton scene for a few years beforehand, winning awards along the way and, given his market, racking up impressive sales numbers. Billed as the King of Improvisation, Daddy Yankee made his way into the Latin music industry through his affiliation with Playero (a fairly successful DJ/producer in the late '90s and early 2000s) and eventually made his recording debut on the One Tough Cop soundtrack in 1998 ("Posición," a collaboration with Alberto Stylee). Yankee's album debut came in 2000 with El Cartel de Yankee, followed by a second volume a year later, which in turn led to El Changri.com (2002) and Los Homerun-es (2003). These two latter albums were released by the VI Music label, and Los Homerun-es became the biggest-selling album in Puerto Rico, setting the stage well for the eventual crossover success of Barrio Fino (2004). With the major-label backing of Universal, Barrio Fino became the first reggaeton album to debut at number one on the Billboard chart, where it hovered for weeks and weeks on end (off and on, it retained its number one spot on the stateside Latin album chart throughout 2004 and far into 2005 — spending roughly a year atop the chart!). The omnipresence of "Gasolina" no doubt helped drive the sales of Barrio Fino, as the song crossed over into numerous markets, arguably becoming the token reggaeton song among people with only a passing knowledge of the music style. Yankee continued on with his steady output, as both the live album Ahora Le Toca al Cangri! Live and a reissue of Los Homerun-es were released in March 2005, which further insured his lasting presence on the Latin music scene. Before the year's end, another live album, Barrio Fino en Directo, hit the shelves.

What role does oxygen play in aerobic respiration?

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen in order to generate energy. It is the preferred method of pyruvate breakdown from glycolysis and requires that pyruvate enter the mitochondrion to be fully oxidized by the Krebs cycle. The product of this process is energy in the form of ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate), by substrate-level phosphorylation, NADH and FADH2. The reducing potential of NADH and FADH2 is converted to more ATP via an electron transport chain with oxygen as the "terminal electron acceptor". Most of the ATP produced by cellular respiration is by oxidative phosphorylation, ATP molecules are made due to the chemiosmotic potential driving ATP synthase. Respiration is the process by which cells obtain energy when oxygen is present in the cell.\n\nTheoretically, 36 ATP molecules can be made per glucose during cellular respiration, however, such conditions are generally not realized due to such losses as the cost of moving pyruvate into mitochondria. Aerobic metabolism is rather more efficient than anaerobic metabolism. They share the initial pathway of glycolysis but aerobic metabolism continues with the Krebs cycle and oxidative phosphorylation. The post glycolytic reactions take place in the mitochondria in eukaryotic cells, and at the cell membrane in prokaryotic cells.\n\nGlycolysis\nMain article: Glycolysis \nGlycolysis is a metabolic pathway that is found in all living organisms and does not require oxygen. The process converts one molecule of glucose into two molecules of pyruvate, and makes energy in the form of two net molecules of ATP. Four molecules of ATP per glucose are actually produced but two are consumed for the preparatory phase. The initial phosphorylation of glucose is required to destablise the molecule for cleavage into two triose sugars. During the pay-off phase of glycolysis four phosphate groups are transfered to ADP by substrate-level phosphorylation to make four ATP and two NADH are produced when the triose sugars are oxidised. Glycolysis takes place in the cytoplasm of the cell. The overall reaction can be expressed this way:\n\nGlucose + 2 ATP + 2 NAD+ + 2 Pi + 4 ADP → 2 pyruvate + 2 ADP + 2 NADH + 4 ATP + 2 H2O + 4 H+ \n\nOxidative decarboxylation\nMain article: Oxidative decarboxylation \nProduces acetyl-CoA from pyruvate. This oxidation reaction also releases carbon dioxide as a product.\n\nKrebs cycle/Citric Acid cycle\nMain article: Citric acid cycle \nWhen oxygen is present, acetyl-CoA enters the citric acid cycle, and gets oxidised to CO2 while at the same time reducing NAD to NADH. NADH can be used by the electron transport chain to create further ATP as part of oxidative phosphorylation. To fully oxidise the equivalent of one glucose molecule two acetyl-CoA must be metabolised by the Krebs cycle. Two waste products, H2O and CO2 are created during this cycle, .\n\nOxidative phosphorylation\nMain articles: Oxidative phosphorylation , Electron transport chain , Electrochemical gradient, and ATP synthase\n\nIn eukaryotes, oxidative phosphorylation occurs in the mitochondria. It comprises of the electron transport chain that establishes a proton gradient (chemiosmotic potential) across the inner membrane by oxidising the NADH produced from the Krebs cycle. ATP is synthesised by the ATP synthase enzyme when the chemiosmotic gradient is used to drive the phosphorylation of ADP.\n\nTheoretical yields\nThe yields in the table below are for one glucose and molecule being fully oxidised to carbon dioxide. It is assumed that all the reduced coenzymes are oxidised by the electron transport chain and used for oxidative phosphorylation.

Is the weight of a person the same as the volume of the person?

..also they're measured in different units.\nVolume is measured in cubic units (m^3, ft^3 etc), whereas  weight is measured in units of Force (Newtons, or foot pounds)\n\nYour volume is fixed (unless you have a large dinner) whereas your weight varies depending on your altitude. You actually weight less at the top of Everest than you do at sea level.\n\nIt should also be noted that weight and mass are different.


What does an architect really do? Wat r d necessary attitudes 2 bcome 1? Is it more suitable for a man?

An architect usually has a precise eye for detail. A background in art is especially helpful, with strengths in thinking as an engineer, a builder, good people-skills and an interior designer. An architect has to be a great listener when he/she is meeting with a client, to truly hear what they are asking for, and even what they're not actually verbalizing. It is a most fitting career for either gender, and there are all sorts of specializations in the field. \n\nIt is a rewarding career that can pay extremely well or get you by comfortably, in some sort of style. (Architects do have, above all else, STYLE.) You can work in a large firm and enjoy the big-city life or work in your pajamas at home. You can go anywhere with architecture...but you do have to enjoy sitting on your bum quite a lot. The hours are long and the deadlines can be stressful - but almost any job includes that.

How would I go about getting a "No Contact" order lifted and DV charges dropped?

Also don't know Washington law, but agree that the State will often pick up DV charges if the victim recants or withdraws.  \n\nIf you want the charge dropped, you need to speak with the prosecutor, not the courts or anyone else.  It's the prosecutor's office that's doing the prosecution, so they're the ones to talk to if you no longer desire prosecution.\n\nWhere did the no contact order come from?  In California, the judge can issue one from the bench on his own or at the request of the prosecutor.  You might have sought one out as well.  In any event, most likely a judge is the one who actually issued the order, and it takes a judge to rescind it.  If you asked for it, get yourself back on calendar and tell the judge why you don't want it.  If the prosecutor asked for it on your behalf, ask them to ask the judge to rescind it.\n\nGood luck with whatever you do, but I really, REALLY encourage you to leave the no contact order as is.  Up to you what you want to do with the DV criminal charges, but there shouldn't be any harm leaving the no contact order in place if you've moved out of state anyway, right?

I live in Indiana, U.S.A.\n\nTo me, freedom is being able to step outside of my home and know radical groups and fantasist are not going to blow me up or gun me down. Sure, we have gangs but when you look at the world news, America is the safest place to live.\n\nI thrive in Democracy. I live to vote and I adore our process.\n\nSure, there are rotten apples that spoil things but who cares.....I don't have to hide my face as a woman, worry about getting my privates mutilated, sell myself for a bowl of food, dig in a dumpster for a scrap of clothing. I have the right to own a business, run it with full benifits as a man. I can vote or not vote and not fear getting shot at for either. I can have an abortion or not, depending on what is right for ME. \n\nI can speak about anything I wish to speak about and have no fear of retribution with anything but words.\n\nFreedom is just that. Being free of restraints imposed by others. My only restraints are place by me and me alone.

Is it developmentally appropriate to raise issues of injustice with young children?

absolutely. The biggest favor you can do for a child is to challenge them. I think it is important to speak to children as if they are adults. Of course, you still must be sympathetic to their needs and ways of understanding things, but it is important to engage children in as many conversations as possible. Make them think.

Why can't I seem to concentrate on school (College)? HELP?

if you think you are learning more in the school grounds, try staying in the school library or study hall after class hours, and study there.  maybe there are so many distractions at home, like TV, Computer, Telephone, that make it harder for you to concentrate on studying.  also, try making a fixed study schedule and area at home or your bedroom.  for example, your study table should be clear of any distractions (best to not have a phone near your study table and not have a tv in your room.)  your study schedule should be a fixed schedule so that you can incorporate it in your daily activities, and it would soon become routine.

Why is the West not concerned about the plight of Africa?

Since de-colonization, the West has paid very little attention to Africa. Yes, food is sent to some regions, occasionally, but we haven't helped nearly as much as we could (there's a genocide in Darfur, by the way. how many people know that?) Africa has very little resources to interest the West. Is is also a very unstable region, which is why no one wants to move their business there. Because the economy is so poor, there is more poverty and instability; the cycle never seems to end. In the near future, as China further develops its economic power, you'll start to see a lot of the low wage manufacturing jobs move out of China and into Africa.\n\nThe best way for you to help is to ask questions and get other people interested. There is a really great start up program called One Here, One There. It's a pilot program starting at Stetson University in Deland, FL and hoping to go nation-wide soon. For one $20 donation, you can send a child in Africa to school for an entire year. Books, transportation, everything. For one year. (for more info, contact Stetson University)


The stock name for this compound is ammonium phosphate.  \nThis is an ionic compound, which means that it is named with the names of the ions.  The cation (the first ion, positively charged) is NH4+, which is called ammonium.  The anion (the second ion, negatively charged) is called phosphate, PO4(3-).  \nNote that because the entire compound must be neutral, there are three ammonium (+) ions to balance out one 3- PO4 ion.


i need help finding sources for a report i have to do in my english class?

Go to the public library and ask the reference librarian to help you. He or she will most likely show you how to use research databases, which are online sources of printed papers that count as print sources. Do not, under any circumstances, use anything like an encyclopedia, MSN Encarta, or Wikipedia--if you're beyond middle school, instructors hate it when you do that, so it's best not to get into the habit in the first place.


how can we use graphs in real life problems?

We can use graphs to create a more meaningful and visual representation of data.  For instance, pie charts represent the percentage of a data set (51% white, 49% black).  Line graphs can show trends (the rising sales of hybrid vehicles vs. the falling sales of gas-guzzling vehicles).

Why are people with fibromyalgia always in pain?

Here is a study that explains why people with Fibromyalgia are always in pain.\nFibromyalgia pain, isn't all in patients' heads new brain study finds.\nJune 7, 2002 fMRI scans give first objective measure of mysterious ailment, provide road map for future study\n\n\n\nANN ARBOR, MI - A new brain-scan study confirms scientifically what fibromyalgia patients have been telling a skeptical medical community for years: They're really in pain.\n\nIn fact, the study finds, people with fibromyalgia say they feel severe pain, and have measurable pain signals in their brains, from a gentle finger squeeze that barely feels unpleasant to people without the disease. The squeeze's force must be doubled to cause healthy people to feel the same level of pain - and their pain signals show up in different brain areas.\n\nThe results, published in the May issue of Arthritis & Rheumatism, the journal of the American College of Rheumatology, may offer the proof of fibromyalgia's physical roots that many doubtful physicians have sought. It may also open doors for further research on the still-unknown causes of the disease, which affects more than 2 percent of Americans, mainly women.\n\nLead authors Richard Gracely, Ph.D., and Daniel Clauw, M.D., did the study at Georgetown University Medical Center and the National Institutes of Health, but are now continuing the work at the University of Michigan Health System. In an editorial in the same issue, Clauw and U-M rheumatologist Leslie Crofford, M.D., stress the importance of fibromyalgia research and care.\n\nTo correlate subjective pain sensation with objective views of brain signals, the researchers used a super-fast form of MRI brain imaging, called functional MRI or fMRI, on 16 fibromyalgia patients and 16 people without the disease. As a result, they say, the study offers the first objective method for corroborating what fibromyalgia patients report they feel, and what's going on in their brains at the precise moment they feel it. And, it gives researchers a road map of the areas of the brain that are most - and least - active when patients feel pain.\n\n"The fMRI technology gave us a unique opportunity to look at the neurobiology underlying tenderness, which is a hallmark of fibromyalgia," says Clauw. "These results, combined with other work done by our group and others, have convinced us that some pathologic process is making these patients more sensitive. For some reason, still unknown, there's a neurobiological amplification of their pain signals."\n\nFurther results from the study were presented last year at the ACR annual meeting. The project will continue later this year at UMHS, joining other fMRI fibromyalgia research now under way.\n\nFor decades, patients and physicians have built a case that fibromyalgia is a specific, diagnosable chronic disease, characterized by tenderness and stiffness all over the body as well as fatigue, headaches, gastrointestinal problems and depression. Many patients with the disease find it interferes with their work, family and personal life. Statistics show that far more women than men are affected, and that it occurs mostly during the childbearing years.\n\nThe ACR released classification criteria for fibromyalgia in 1990, to help doctors diagnose it and rule out other chronic pain conditions. Clauw and Crofford's editorial looks at the current state of research, and calls for rheumatologists to take the lead in fibromyalgia care and science.\n\nBut many skeptics have debated the very existence of fibromyalgia as a clearly distinct disorder, saying it seemed to be rooted more in psychological and social factors than in physical, biological causes. Their argument has been bolstered by the failure of research to find a clear cause, an effective treatment, or a non-subjective way of assessing patients.\n\nWhile the debate has raged, neuroscientists have begun to use brain scan technology to identify the are


In solid state physics, a particle's effective mass is the mass it seems to carry in the semiclassical model of transport in a crystal. It can be shown that, under most conditions, electrons and holes in a crystal respond to electric and magnetic fields almost as if they were free particles in a vacuum, but with a different mass. This mass is usually stated in units of the ordinary mass of an electron m


How do feel about T-Shirts with the cartoon of Mohammed worn in Italy?

If muslims, had adopted the manners and attitude prophet Mohammed passed on to the worlds, shame would over-whelm those who mock him. It is really hard for a good person not to love Mohammed, if they knew what he really wanted for mankind. Its a good reminder for Muslims and non-Muslims alike, that its time to do as prophet Mohammed would have done. Seek peace, understanding, harmony and merciful manners between humans, with one God for all.\n\n"By the grace of Allah, you are gentle towards the people; if you had been stern and ill-tempered, they would have dispersed from round about you" (translation of Qur'an 3:159) \nAbout himself the prophet (pbuh) said \n"Allah has sent me as an apostle so that I may demonstrate perfection of character, refinement of manners and loftiness of deportment." (Malik, Mawatta; Ahmed, Musnad; Mishkat)


is getting a government grant easy and where can I go for the steps of getting one?

It is hard to find grants to start a business. Unlike the myths that some perpetuate, federal government and even private foundations hardly give grant money for a for-profit business. And yes, grants mean PAPERWORK - lots and lots of it, that is why a cottage industry of grant writers was born.\n\nNonetheless, you 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. Browse through the listings and see if you can find any grant that would support a for-profit venture.\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\nEven SBA does NOT give out grants. From the SBA website http://www.sba.gov/expanding/grants.html... \n\n"The U.S. Small Business Administration does not offer grants to start or expand small businesses, although it does offer a wide variety of loan programs. (See http://www.sba.gov/financing for more information) While SBA does offer some grant programs, these are generally designed to expand and enhance organizations that provide small business management, technical, or financial assistance. These grants generally support non-profit organizations, intermediary lending institutions, and state and local governments."\n\nMost of the federal grants are given to specific target groups with specific requirements (e.g. minority business owners involved in transportation related contracts emanating from DOT - Grant#20.905 Disadvantaged Business Enterprises Short Term Lending Program \n\nGrants are also often given to non profit groups or organizations involved in training or other similar activities (grant 59.043 Women's Business Ownership Assistance that are given to those who will create women's business center that will train women entrepreneurs \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.

what is the usage of diode in daily life?

1.  To convert low-voltage a.c. to d.c. as occurs in all electronic appliances, e.g. c.d. players, electronic keyboards, stereos, etc.\n2.  As indicators, and appears as coloured lights on electronic appliances,e.g. the graphic equalizer that has a set of lights that moves up and down according to the signal, bass, mid-range, treble, etc, fed to it. Also, when you turn on the stereo and you see a red or green light near to the power switch, that is a light-emitting diode (LED)\n3. Within the last year, a new use is that an array of white LEDs are used to replace the wire-wound bulbs in battery-operated flashlights (torchlights).  Less heat is produced, a brighter light is obtained,  and the batteries last as much as 30 times longer.  This is good news for the ecologists!!

Can Anyone Really Work From Home I would Like a Data Entry Customer Service job From home Someone Help Me?

Most people who work at home and are successful are doing one of two things - getting paid a commission on everyone they convince to join the program (also known as MLM or pyramid plans) OR they have their own business. Your own business is something you create yourself, not find on the internet. You create it based on your skills, your passions not on what someone else tells you is the GREATEST thing going.\n\nIf you are looking at one of the endless "opportunities" out there be careful - most are scams. Here are a few questions you should ask to help figure out if the one you are looking at is for real or not.\n\nLegitimate work-at-home program should tell you - in writing - what's involved in the program they are selling. Here are some questions you might ask:\n\n* What tasks will I have to perform? (Ask the program to list every step of the job.)\n* Will I be paid a salary or will my pay be based on commission?\n* Who will pay me?\n* When will I get my first paycheck?\n* What is the total cost of the work-at-home program, including supplies, equipment and membership fees?\n* What will I get for my money?

Why Israel have many Atomic Bomb And No one do nothing ????????

Because they are surrounded by countries where the state-endorsed and led religion has declared jihad against Israel.  As long as Israel has the bomb, they at least hold the bomb over the heads of the eniemies that want to attack them.  \n\nIsrael does not want to destroy Jordan, Egypt, Syria or Iran, but those countries all want every Jew dead.\n\nAt least they will be able to take out a few million islamo-fascists if they are invaded.
