Parchment and vellum are made from animal skin. As early as 2450 BC, skins of animals were in use in Egypt as writing material. Leather was the first to be used and many of the Dead Sea Scrolls were written on it. It was later refined into parchment, of which vellum is a finer quality. \n\nThe manufacture of vellum and parchment is a very skilled process. Various animal skins are used, mainly calf, sheep and goat. The skins are washed and stripped of hair or wool, then stretched on a frame to be scraped to remove further traces of flesh or hair. The scraping must be careful enough to remove all unwanted material without piercing or tearing the skin. The skins are then whitened with chalk and smoothed with pumice before being cut into sheets. \n\nMost early manuscripts in Egypt were written on papyrus, which was made from reeds which grew almost exclusively along the Nile. According to tradition, Ptolemy V of Egypt was a great collector of books and was anxious not to be outdone in his collection by Eumenes II of Pergamum (then a Greek city, now modern Bergama, in Turkey). He therefore banned the export of papyrus, which forced Pergamum into the manufacture of parchment. (The word is derived from Latin and Greek words for 'made in Pergamum'). \n\nParchment in fact offered advantages over papyrus. Bigger sheets could be made, it was flexible and could be written on both sides. It could also be stitched and this meant that a book of parchment sheets could be made, whereas papyrus could only be collected in loose sheets. \n\nParchment made from the more delicate skins of new or stillborn calf or kid came to be called vellum. The vellum of most early manuscripts, up to the 6th century AD, is of good quality. After this, as demand increased, a great amount of inferior material came on the market, but by the 12th century, when large numbers of manuscripts were being produced in western Europe, a soft, pliant vellum was in vogue. In Constantinople, a luxury version was produced at an early date by dyeing the material a rich purple and lettering it in silver and gold, a practice condemned as a useless luxury in a well-known passage of St. Jerome. The purple dye was subsequently abandoned, but the practice of "illuminating" parchment manuscripts in gold, silver, and other tints flourished in Europe throughout the Middle Ages. \n\nThe cost of papyrus and parchment was too high for everyday use for record making. Wax tablets were used instead for routine work and note taking. Because ancient writing materials were expensive, they were often reused. Papyrus presented difficulties, for ink soon bonded itself firmly into the surface, but parchment could be readily reused, because it is tougher and can be washed or scraped clean. Many medieval monks, when short of writing materials, took ancient books to pieces, cleaned off the leaves and reused them. \n\nVellum is still made today for calligraphy, the best quality being Manuscript vellum. Goatskin can also be used, while parchment made from sheepskin is less useful, due to its grease content.


what happened to the government for the people of the people and by the people ?

that was just to trick people into being patriotic to an agada. it stiil works, thats wht we might as well be russia.


I wish the government would do something about this web site.  It is a breeding ground for sexual predictors upon young boys and girls.  If anyone has a niece, nephew, daughter, cousin, or whatever that is posting pictures and info on this web site they should warn them about how dangerous this site is.  I don't have it, and not many people know the dangers that lurk there.  Recently parents were asked to look on the web site in my area, and they were shocked!  Provocative poses from teens, location info, and many other things ready and available for any predator to lure a young girl or boy away from home.  There are reports every where about this site.  Use your search engine.  We need to take a stand and protect the future of this country... our children.  By the way I am not old, I am under 30, but I have a nephew, god son, and brother in law that are teens, and I am concerned about them!


Tell me the differences and similarities between two persons.?

A non-christian rich person is Generally continuously hunting for themselves and their happiness and they believe they will find it with "more money."  Always seeking more, always working to obtain more and never being satisfied with what they already have.\n\nThe poor Christian already knows who they are in Christ and thus has over flowing joy from within.  They are content with whatever it is God my bless them with and realize that no matter how much/little they have, it is still a blessing of God.\n\nAs for as the activities, personalities and interests...\nThose are unique to each individual person and any type of generalization would simply be that... An extreme generalization.


You meet a guy and he's got 5  children, and you have 2, would you consider pursuing the relationship?

If it was me, I'm going to say no.  I have one beautiful son and one more son on the way that I'm totally excited about, but I'm not much of a kid person outside of my own.  So if I met someone and found out that he had 5 kids, I would not let a relationship develop.  I would not want to deal with living with a total of 7 children if we were to fall in love and actually live together.  Criminy who can afford to have 5 kids these days anyway??  Yikes!

I wanna work in hotel,  how to apply and what are the things need to consider?

Well, what kind of job in the hotel do you want?  There's so many options, from human resource manager to general manager to restaurant worker to maid to spa person- tons of things.  If you are young and just want a job, some good jobs for boys are set up- like if you're strong.  Room service is fun because you get lots of tips and talk to tons of people and see some very interesting things in the rooms.  A hotel is a great place to work because there's such a variety of jobs and so many employees you probably won't meet everyone.  They are so interesting, cops get called, all the time there usually is stuff going on, they are the funnest place to work usually, and if you get bored, you can wander the halls, play in the game rooms, you usually get discounts on rooms and the pool is free to you- just like I said, if you just want to work there and don't really care doing what, apply (it is a normal application like everywhere else, and when it says position, write 'open', and in the interview they'll tell you what they have open and you can choose).  Just know though that if you have family or friends staying there, you can't usually go to their rooms or parties and drink. But anyways, it's tons of fun cause if you don't like your department, you can always change to another..

Calculatine interest on a line of credit in which the balance changes daily & the interest compounds daily?

Just recalculate it each day and compound it again with the new balance that got taken over from yesterday.  Banks typically use 360 days you can use that when compounding.  If the balance is really changing daily, you can probably contact the bank once in a while to sync and make sure you're calculating them correctly.

The vertical asymptote of log function is the y-axis. True or false?

Time travel is possible when we travel forward not backward. IF you look to the history books there are no such thing of human come form the future. So that is the proof that has defined the theory that we can't go to the past. There are theory that we can move forward by using the method of speed. Once you increase the speed of travelling the time will change very fast, and you might be in the future. But to have that kind of machine to bring you forward needs a lot of discovery especially about the strenght of metal, fuel, speed, and a lots more. You can get the theory about speed from einstein. Whatever you want to know about it, you can get it there, BUT eventhough you learn about time travel, you won't get that technology while you still alive. Maybe you can use that information just for you knowledge. Not more than that.

What does it mean when you have an inverted t-wave on an EKG? It converts with exercise. Should I be worried?

Normalization of inverted T wave is not an uncommon finding during exercise tests, it's clinical significance is still unclear. Exercise-induced T wave normalization was defined as "inverted T wave at rest becoming upright during exercise". \n\nThe T wave on an EKG represents the repolarization or resetting of the electrical cells in the bottom chambers of the heart. Reasons for inverted T waves are numerous and may include ischemia, Heart attack, hyperventilation, Anxiety, certain medications, infections around the heart, pulmonary embolus (blood clot in the lung), electrolyte disturbance (abnormalities in sodium, potassium levels) etc. When an EKG is viewed, all of the waves are evaluated, not just one in particular. With this in mind and considering that the rest of the waves on the EKG appeared to him/her without any sort of defect, is probably why he/she stated it was an essentially normal EKG. You should continue to have physical exams regularly.

i am non-religious, is it true if there was no religion all wars in history would be reduced by 90%?

Religion is only used as a smoke screen to justify war.  The REAL reason for wars is money and power.


What I used to do was find pictures of what I wanted my legs to look like and I concentrated on the end result.  You can do this...but be reasonable...don't set yourself up too fast for impossble results...you didn't run before you walked.\n\nI also found that having a training partner helped tremendously because they will not allow you to cheat. I happened to be lucky and had a American Football league professional player as my training partner and he would make do another rep if I slacked.....\n\nDon't be too harsh on yourself.  It depends on what your goals are.  It is easy to talk yourself out of doing it...but think of the endgame.

how crucial is bookkepping to the success of small-scale businesses?

Bookkeeping is very important in a small-scale business for tracking cash flow and profit and loss. It does not have to be complex and could in most cases be done on one ledger. Without the information of turnover and expense the business owner would have an unclear view of the true value of the business.

Your best bet is to not stress since you will be seeing the doctor soon. Only someone well qualified who has seen the condition can tell you what it is!

I want to have a vacation with my family, but I don't want to temporarily close my small business, any ideas?

If you cannot trust your employees, then they should not be working for you to begin with. There is never an easy time to let go of control. You have to be able to enjoy your family, or you will regret it later. If your employees manage well enough in your presence, and they understand their duties and responsibilities, then they should be fine. You, are the only one who can judge your level of trust with regard to those who are in your employ. Ask yourself honestly, if you are being too controlling. As long as your can be contacted, is there any reason why they should not be able to handle things for a short time? You will be the best to answer this question.

It seems to me that media companies don't really care what they are putting onto the television, as long as its making them big bucks.  And seeing how many of the people in our hedonist society are driven more towards pleasurable things , the media knows that many of them will watch these shows that can be described as smut.  These days its all about sex, drugs, etc, and the media knows that.  Filth is on tv because it sells.

Do u think its necessary for one to moan and groan when doing it?

I don't think it's necessary, yet when you hear moaning and groaning it means that someone is enjoying themselves a lot. I don't think that it's absolutly important to be yelling " YES, YES GIVE IT TO ME, YOU ARE THE KING". I do feel that natural noises from enjoyable sex is very sexy and right to do. I know that I am more verbal, or make more noise than my husband does, Is this normal? I don't know. This doesn't mean that he's not enjoying it. There are often times that his noises come at the very end when he ejaculates. I can say that when people are having sex you're gonna be hearing something. When I have sex, the sounds that come from my mouth are just natural sounds of enjoyment. What's wrong with that? I guess what I am saying is that if it irratates you that much maybe you're not having enjoyable sex. I would also think you would love to hear your partner enjoying himself. Take pride in that! You don't have to moan and groan, just be natural, if it feels good.... enjoy it!!!! If it feels GREAT, enjoy it even more!!! Best of Luck.

What is a female Japanese name most closely meaning "messenger" or "messenger (of some higher spirit?)"?

While "shisha" means messenger - it is about as nice as naming your child "messenger" in English. Definitely NOT a pretty name (or even an accepted one at that.)\nIn Japanese, "messenger" doesn`t really have a special meaning - it`s sort of similar to "servant", which is definitely not something you`d want to name a child.

When Dade County became Miami-Dade County, was the boundary of Miami extended to include the entire county?

No, Miami does not cover the whole county. There are 35 different municipalities in the county and 52% of the county's residents live in unincorporated areas. The county name was changed by a vote in 1997, to acknowledge the importance of Miami in the county, being the largest city in it.

5000\n\nThe term 'milli' means thousandth so a millimetre is one thousandth of a metre, i.e. there are 1000 millimetres in a metre and so there are 5000 millimetres in 5 metres.\n\nThe same applies to milligram, millilitre etc.\n\nNano = 1 billionth (e.g. nano-second)\nMicro = 1 millionth (e.g. micro-gram)\nMilli = 1 thousandth (e.g. milli-metre)\nKilo = 1 thousand (e.g. kilo-watt)\nMega = 1 million (e.g. mega-pixel)\nGiga = 1 billion (e.g. giga-byte)\n\nThere's smaller and larger measurements but these are infrequently used.


Can you start in the police academy to become a police officer/cop when you are 18, or do you have to be 21?

can you connect and record an electric guitar on a computer without using MIDI equipment?

Yes - There are several ways to do this - the cheapest being to take a jack lead from the line out of your AMP to the line in on your computer sound card. You would need some recording software, a good free one is Audacity (see link)\n\nAnother great (but more costly) method of recording is via a USB interface, such as Line6's Guitar Port. This particular one eliminates the need for an Amp, and also provides some cool amp modeling and effects. This costs about £80 - £100.00 though - but in my opinion as a practice tool it is invaluble.\n\nFor a more spophisticated recording package I recommend Cakewalk guitar Tracks Pro, But at £140 it isn't cheap.\n\nHope this is of some help to you\n\nDave


I have faith that the Bible really was written via the INFLUENCE of the Abrahamic god, but not necessarily at the time it was written. It didn't start being actually put into written text until centuries after the life of Jesus, and therefore MUST have been shared through oral tradition over generations. As that CAN be a reliable source of information, on the other hand, did you ever play "Telephone" in elementary school: one person says a sentence or phrase into one person's ear, and that person repeats what they heard to the next person, and than that person repeats it to the next person, and so on, and it never comes out exactly how it started. Maybe Yahweh started the game, and after generations of playing "Telephone," it just got a little mangled.\n\nPlus, have you ever tried to translate anything EXACTLY from one language to another? It can't be done: words that exist in some languages don't exist in others, and vice versa; not to mention the varying sentence structure from language to language.\n\nThen, of course, the Roman Catholics had to go and alter it for their own control-the-masses power hype, and screwed it up even more. Let's face it: we're human. We’re fallible, and so is the Bible.

how does a baptist lead a mormon to christ?

Mormons believe: God is an exalted man.  Elohim, the God of this universe, was previously a man in a prior existence.  As a result of having kept the requirements of Mormanism, he was exalted to godhood and inherited his own universe.  God is confined to a body of flesh and bones and yet is thought to be omniscient and omnipotent.  He obviously can not be omnipresent.  There are an infininte number of gods with their own worlds.  These too were previously men, The Holy Ghost, Jesus Christ and "Heavenly Father" comprise 3 separate and distinct gods. Heavenly Father sires spiritual children in heaven destined for human life on earth.  All humans, as well as Jesus Christ and Lucifer, are gods heavenly children.  Every human being has the potential of becoming a god by keeping the requirements of Mormonism.  The Morman plan of salvation is built on the idea that all people have eternal life, but only the most faithful Mormons have godhood or enter the celestial kingdom.  In order to obtain this ultimate step, Mormons must exercise faith in the God of Mormonism, its Christ, and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints; exercise repentence; and be baptisted in the LDS church.  Additionaly Mormons must keep the "Word of Wisdom" by abstaning from alcohol, tobacco, and caffiene; tithe to the church; attend weekly sacrament meetings; support the Mormon prophet; do temple works; and be active in their support of the Church.  \n\nIs this Christianity, I think not.


Multiple part question:  1. Have you seen Fahrenheit 9/11?

1. No.\n2. I think President Bush was doing an OUTSTANDING job.\n3. N/A.\n4. Yes. No.\n5. No.\n\nGiven some of the political views I have posted on Y!A, it might surprise some people to find out that I refuse to watch either film. Both filmmakers have an obvious agenda, and you can trust neither to be unbiased. It is too easy today to twist facts and edit video to make it say whatever you want - as these two obviously have. I am interested in learning FACTS. My OPINIONS do not need help being shaped from either Michael Moore or Alan Peterson.\n\nThe better documentaries about 9/11 have explored both sides of the events while ignoring obvious left and right-wing propaganda. President Bush's response on 9/11 was not perfect; he DID make some mistakes. But he did a lot of things right, too.\n\nKSM (Khalid Sheik Mohammed - that real hairy bastard nabbed in Pakistan a year or so back) has stated in interrogation that al Qaida had planned MORE attacks on the US immediately following 9/11. What al Qaida had NOT expected, however, was President Bush's response. Al Qaida expected a few cruise missiles as an answer, and then life would go on. The Bush Doctrine ("you are either with us or against us") and the military operations that accompanied it totally threw al Qaida for a loop and disrupted any chance they had of launching another operation.\n\nThe KSM statement alone shows that President Bush has done his job and saved the lives of THOUSANDS - if not tens or hundreds of thousands - of American lives.

I need to know how do I get a grant to purchase a house and to start a business.?

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.\n\nAs for housing grants, see if you qualify for any of HUD grants available http://www.hud.gov/offices/adm/grants/fundsavail.cfm\n\nhttp://www.cfda.gov\nhttp://www.grants.gov\nhttp://gtionline.fdncenter.org\nhttp://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol66/grants.htm\nhttp://www.sba.gov/expanding/grants.html


Do women prefer their guys to be virgins?

Only shallow people give this more than a second thought.  Who cares how many people you have/have not slept with.  Lets face it, you can never win anyway.  If you sleep with people you get called a whore/man whore and get a reputation of being untrustworthy, dirty and fickle.  If you do wait and are a virgin, you get called frigid, there is huge pressure on when will be your first time.  If you leave it long enough it can become a social stigma.  Just look at the film 40 year old virgin.  \n\nBasically your damned if you do and damned if you don't.  so just forget about it.

Violet Flame,"I AM", Elizabeth Prophet, etc...?

Elizabeth Clare Prophet is the leader of a relatively dangerous cult that has operated under a number of different names, including "the Summit Lighthouse" and the "Church Universal and Triumphant."  They recently achieved legal church status in the U.S. in a deal with the Federal government in which, in exchange, they surrendered their large cache of weapons in their center in Montana, which probably tells you a lot all by itself.  They are best known for the "St. Germain" books.  There are between 5,000 and 15,000 members of their organization worldwide, including perhaps 3,000 who live at the compound in Montana, where they generally work long hours without pay for the greater glory of ECP, who is herself extremely wealthy.  They are best avoided, if you want to keep your own self-determination and your own money.  If you're looking for spirituality, the world is full of many legitimate religions based on personal fulfillment, rather than making some self-professed "Ascended Master" a multimillionaire.


has anyone out there ever tried out for American Idol?

Well, my avatar looks as much like me as I can get it.  My natural shade of red is lighter and my eyes are Hazel though. \n\n OH...and my cat (which you can't see) is not properly represented either, because Yahoo is racist against black cats I think.

If iI knew the name of what the product was i could give  a better answer. I am taking the NITRIX and the NO_EXPLODE and those give me the energy to go further and push harder to get through the workout, plus it gives your pumps full vascularity, and they stay pumped  and hard for hours later.Then as far as it being any good, you do need to cycle off of it for a period of 3 months . its 3 on and 3 off.


actually for womans and guy is the same way... go to any perfume/cologne store and ask someone that works with it..\n\nalways squirt where there is blood movement.. that way it will make the smell flow out.. places like\n\nyour wrists, right in the little hole right behind/below the ears. those are the best 2 places... for woman also spray inbetween the breasts.. not being a pervet here.. im serious.. but again.. those are the 3 best places.. but go to a store that works with it and ask someone and they'll tell you the same thing.


Is racism a big thing to you? Does it bother you? Wat do u believe about racism?

Racism shows ignorance, and total lack of respect! Unfortunately our wonderful country is full of MORONS! I'm sorry that your friend is making you uncomfortable, tell him that you would like to continue being friends but that the racial jokes are making you believe that he still has racial issues (either that or make some jokes about his race). Most of my friends are Hispanic (I'm Anglo) we all joke around, (but we know that it's just joking and we don't make each other feel out of place. If he is a true friend, he will understand your feelings and respect your wishes. Good Luck.


why does heat required to melt ice didived by mass of ice equal heat of fusion of ice?why s negative sign need

fusion and melting are reversible processes.  The division is just so that you can get it in units of J/g or J/mole...or whatever.  The negative sign in this case just means that energy must be put into the system for the ice to melt.

Vin Diesel said I should be the one because I'm the most fit, Arnold said he should since he is the Governor of California, Then Chuck Norris turned to God and said God get out of my chair!

Whats the best way to get rid of love handles, or should i leave them?

If your partner loves them, then why get rid of them?  It's up to you, though.  If you want to wear 'skinny' jeans, then you'll have to get rid of the handles then.... the old fashioned way.  Eat a healthy diet, workout and get plenty of cardio.  Cardio burns the fat.  Drink lots of water while dieting to remove the body of toxins while burning fat.\n\nOh, and BTW, you can't target one area of the body for fat loss.  When you lose fat, you lose it all over.

If an archaeologist found two bodies and knew for a fact they were ADAM and EVE how will he know?

I love the other answers but sweetheart, Adam and Eve are examples given to help explain a folk tale about the beginning of life just as the Three Little Pigs are used to explain the importance of building secure living quarters. The bible is a collection of stories to teach lessons about history; is it not history. The BEST answers given is that the bodies would have no belly buttons and Adam would be without a rib!!!!

How can I surf public records myself to find info, so I won't have to pay someone else to do so?

If someone you trust told you this, ask them for more information.  To find a list of banks in the city they mentioned, just go to www.yellowpages.com, under "find a business" type in the city and state and put "banks" in the blank space for type of business.  This will give you a list of banks, and phone numbers.  Time consuming, but call each one, giving your family member's names (mother, father, grandparents, aunts/uncles, etc., to see if they have an account for any of these.  Let the bank know why you would like this information.  They probably can't give you any info, but it doesn't hurt to try.  Also...if this person is deceased, and you know their name, then you can go to the SSDI (Social Security Death Index) and put in their first and last name and see when they died, and where their death is registered.  This also gives you their SSN.  To look up family members who are still living, and who are dead but were alive less than a year or two ago, go to www.zabasearch.com and put in first and last name and state.  This brings up all listings of that name in that state.  And if you need more help, email me and I'll be more than happy to help.  I am Information Coordinator for my reunion committee, and have worked the past year on finding all 263 of my graduating classmates from 30+ years ago...With a good bit of success.\n\nDid you receive an email about this instead?  If so, this sounds like one of those generated emails sent to people to get credit card information to "transfer" funds, etc, or to otherwise use your information from your bank to their advantage.  Searching for information beforehand is a great idea!  You're one smart cookie!  My suggestion is to contact this person via email if that is what you received from them.  Ask them for THEIR pertinant info, ie: Their full name, their mailing address, their work and home phone numbers, and the bank in question where that safe deposit box is located, including address, city, state, zip and phone number.  IF they don't respond, then forget it...it was and is a sham to get info to abuse your accounts.  If they do, with everything stated above, then follow through and call the bank, call THEM, talk to them, etc.  I can almost guarantee that they won't respond back.  But again, I've been wrong before!\n\nHope this helps!


Can you tell me all the differences between Mono and Stereo sound?

In a nutshell, mono sound is what you get from a cheap one-speaker radio. No matter how many speakers you could hook up to it, the same thing would come from all the speakers. Stereo sound is split up into two "tracks". Left and right. If you are sitting in front of a sound system that is actually stereo, different sounds come from each speaker. It appears that the sounds are coming at you the same way they would have if you were sitting in front of the band, for example. If the drummer was on your left in person, he would SOUND like he was on your left coming from the stereo speakers. Same with every other musician.

Help!?I need help how to improve my flute tone!!!!?

Hi!  don't dispair!  Braces are not the end of the world.  I have had several very successful students with braces and a variety of other mouth gear.  There were many good ideas in the previous answer, i am hoping to add a couple things.  Take a look at your mouth when you play.  When you put your flute up to your lips, be sure you are not doing the kiss and roll thing (when you do this your flute rests on your lip).  Your bottom lip should rest on the lip plate and you should bring your top lip down to focus the air across the hole.  Look to make sure the hole in your lips is centered on the tone hole.  You should not be smiling, it is almost a frown, you are bringing your top lip down almost like you are making a bunny face.  Grab a straw or a pencil, put it in your mouth and pull it out leaving your lips exactly like they were with it in.  Use this as a guide for the size of the hole in your lips you are trying to achieve.  Now on top of all of that closing, you have to open everything else up.  Open your mouth on the inside, so you have a nice round inside, almost like it would seem if you were taking a bite of a crunchy apple.  Leave the inside open and relaxed, but close the lips and form your embouchure.  Does this help?  Give some more information if you still have questions.  good luck!\n\n\nare you talking about the high C 2 leger lines above the staff or the super high C above that?   For the C 2 leger lines above the staff, make sure you are holding your flute steady and you are not rolling in or something because you have so few fingers on keys.  For the super high C, see if you can find someone who plays better than you (maybe like a really good senior or something) to play your flute to see if he/she can play the super high notes.  It may be that your flute has a leak somewhere that is giving you problems or that your flute may not play that note well.  Sometimes beginner flutes just don't have the capacity to play the reallllly high notes well(mine didn't, so many years ago).  Also make sure you have the correct fingerings.  Good luck, let us know how it goes!


Have any of you Atheists had a Religious Experience?

Yes, I had more than one religious experience as a child, but I am now an atheist. I think that those experiences were cathartic realizations and that they did mean something, but they meant something because of my situation, my psychology, and my desire to believe in certain things beyond the physical world. I view them as experiences that were powerful and important, but I no longer think that they were truly supernatural. I interpreted them as supernatural experiences at the time because of the spiritual belief system that I accepted, rather than because there were reasons to interpret them in that way.


Gee Hydrochloric Acid and Gum.  Hydrochloric acid very easily dissolvs gum if you dont believe me get some hydrochloric acid and put the gum in it and watch it dissolve.  Also even if it wasnt digested you would have to swallow an awfull lot of gum to block your intestines.  What can constipate you is cooked chicken bones, large coins, legos, corn cob, wood chips, and plastic baggies.


Why does the QURAN speak so much HATE for Christians and Jews?

Jews and Christians are commonly refered as "People of the Book" in most of places in Quran.\n\nQuran do criticize them for certain bad qualities prevalent in them, like writing with their own hands and claiming this is from God, making forbidden which is actually not forbidden(also the reverse), hoarding wealth and not spending in path of God etc. These are bad qualities which when present in any religious group is bad. Maybe Quran is stating this so that Muslims do not repeat these.\n\nQuran also says not all of them are similar\n"Not all of them are alike: Of the People of the Book are a portion that stand (For the right): They rehearse the Signs of God all night long, and they prostrate themselves in adoration." Quran 3:113. \n\nSee another verse regarding 2 type of "people of the books" when dealing with others.\n"Among the People of the Book are some who, if entrusted with a hoard of gold, will (readily) pay it back; others, who, if entrusted with a single silver coin, will not repay it unless thou constantly stoodest demanding, because, they say, "there is no call on us (to keep faith) with these ignorant (Pagans)." but they tell a lie against God, and (well) they know it. " Quran 3: 75. \n\nJews are also called as "Bani Israel" meaning "Children of Israel". A verse regarding Bani Israel\n" And We appointed, from among them, leaders, giving guidance under Our command, so long as they persevered with patience and continued to have faith in Our Signs." Quran 32: 24.


Is it true the saying that blood is blue before it is exposed to oxygen?

In a way, blood is "blue" before it's exposed to oxygen. Before the hemaglobin in blood picks up oxygen molecules, the blood is a dark purple color. When the hemaglobin (a protein molecule containing an iron complex called "heme") picks up the oxygen, it turns from dark gray-purple to bright red.\n\nThe unoxygenated color lends a bluish-purple tone to lips when you are "cyanotic" or blue due to lack of oxygen. It's not a true blue like the sky, but it's a dark bluish purple.

Take anti-inflammatory tablets like ibuprofen regularly. Stronger painkillers like codeine are pretty good as well. If you have really bad period pains, see your doctor, who can put you on mefenamic acid which is very effective in reducing both pain and bleeding. You could also consider going on the contraceptive pill, which tends to make periods lighter and less painful. \n\nOther, less chemical suggestions, would be to try to do some gentle exercise - I know it's the last thing you feel like doing, but it really does help. Heat pads, hot water bottles etc can be helpful as well, as can a hot bath. \n\nOne last suggestion........I've heard ;) that masturbating can really help with period pains!

please help me translate this Japanese sentence into English : kokoro kara kokoro made . Thanks a lot.?

Why are you asking this question again? Didn't you get enough answers when you first asked it??\n\nAnyway, "kokoro kara" is a fairly common phrase in Japanese, it means 'from the heart' ... not the physical, beating heart - the other one, like the soul-type heart.\n\n"kokoro kara kokoro made" isn't usual though, but 'from heart to heart' could be a literal meaning ... I would like to know where you found this phrase??? It would maybe help you get an answer that you like enough to actually select as the best, instead of letting this thread go to the vote too!\n\nDid you find it in a valentines card perhaps? That would be logical! Was it even written by a Japanese person?? Or was it 'invented' by a gaijin practising his or her Japanese skills? That would explain it too...!


Reguarding the last 3 steps of your run up, the first 2 should be lengthened slighty and the last (your take off step) should be shortened. This firstly lowers your centre of gravity (the longer steps) and then heightens it (in the short step) so as you take off your centre of gravity has an upward momentum which will increase the height of your jump. You should just reach top speed before take of which means you requir 30-35m in your run up to fully accelerate. Training should include a good plyometric session a week (with a rest or light day after to recover from the high impact drills) include tuck jumps (eg 3 sets of 20), single leg hops over 25m (timed-to focus on speed), burpees etc. Also, use a reduce run up (say 7 strides) plce a high jump mat on the pit and aim to jump over it - this will encourage height into your jump.

Is there any hope in removing terrorist in the world ?

I bielieve that if the media totally started to egnore everything about terrorism and not did not report any of their attacks eventually the terorists tactics would not work for them. Most of what the terrorists are looking for is publicity. I know this seems imposible but if the world's governments got together and made it law it could be achieved.

What is the cheapest, fastest way to get a divorce?

Cheapest is illegal as you are not allowed to buy a knife or bullet with the intention of becoming single.\n\nSelf divorce kits are good, if you are both willing to do it without any sort of conflict.  My wife and I are doing ours next week, costing us $90 each... could have cost thousands if we weren't amicable.\n\nGood luck.


What is the main difference between proverbs and quotes?

Basically: with proverbs you don't know the author. A quote implies that you will mention also the person who said that. \n\nAt large:\nProverbs are short sentences which carry a truth. Usually they are anonymous (as of origin) and are perpetuated from generation to generation by way of speech.\n\nQuotes are sentences, sometimes entire passages from a book or a speech - something a known person wrote or said. When we give a quote we need to give also the source of it.


who votes for the eurovision song contest winners?

Yes it is a public vote, the person who tells them what the votes are is just a representative from that country. It goes all around to each represented country, they take the scores from each one and add them together, it normally ends up with 'Norway nil points'. Although I believe Great Britain got 'nil points' last time.

What is the best way of saving US from the quagmire of Iraq?

To start with you need to stop regarding it as a 'quagmire.'  Then you need to go talk to some Iraq veterans and learn how much better things are going than the media is telling you.\n\nOf course - from the way you asked the question, I suspect that all you are doing is looking for somebody to agree with you and are not really interesting in an actual answer.


Write in complete sentences , and whole paragraphs with correct punctuation and spelling. Study the writings of authors you admire, determine what you like about the structure(grammar and syntax) of their sentences and paragraphs and imitate them.\n\nStudy the dictionary everyday, learning and using new words to express your ideas. Words have multiple meanings and uses and learning this will help you select the ones that fit your frame of mind and purpose. Don't be afraid to use a good encyclopedia. Good writers are usually well-informed and good learners.\n\nDiscuss your writing with someone who likes to write, possibly a teacher-mentor-critic. Accept criticism and suggestions at first even if you later conclude your ways are preferable.\n\nWrite , write, and write until it is as comfortable as communicating by speech. \n\nPlay with expressing your thoughts in different words in different sentences and enjoy the freedom to write out what is on your mind limited only by your ingenuity and determination.\n\nThanks for the question, answering it helped me to organize my own rules for improving my writing skills.

Do juveniles express their opinions in life by writing poetry?

Expression is the battle within all of us.  Sometimes alot of poeple cant find the way to express themselves while others find many different ways.  For me it was in Sports growing up.. showing the passion on the field.. which translated to that off the field.  For others, its in the writing (Diary), music (whether it be singing, song writing, or just playing and listening), poetry (allowed me to open up and explain what i thought when just plain words couldnt explain what I was feeling...  But for the question.. there is a percentage of the youth using poetry for the expression but the majority has found otherways to express themselves and their feelings/beliefs!!!

How is it possible for someone to have a bad credit rating when he doesn't even have a credit card?

Your credit can be affected by just about anything, from Utility bills, cell bills.....all kinds of things.  Anytime you have something you pay on, monthly, bi-monthly, if it's paid late that company can report it to the credit agencies.  Also no credit can sometimes be just as bad as bad credit.  So have him do some research.  Did he pay his water, gas or electric bill late, order anything from a catalog and pay late or not at all......has he paid his cell bill late, get any speeding and/or parking tickets that weren't paid on time?

Describe what a person who has experienced emotional abuse would act like?

Yes indeedy! right here!\n\nI was depressed and unable to function well for many years.\nMy mother was emotionally abusive.\nAlso all my boyfriends were usually emotionally abusive.\nI don't know to this day how I managed to find emotionally abusive men so well for so long but I did.\nYou wouldn't know it to look at me or talk to me. I was attractive and intelligent with a collage degree. It's just that my life did not go well at all.

How can you increase the value of your home?

Generally, the #1 most important thing you can do to sell a home quicker and for more profit is to make it appear clean, bright and easy to move-in.  Re-doing flooring and cabinets is great, but you MAY not get the value back when trying to sell.  If your home is cluttered, CLEAN it up..get out the mess, SCRUB like crazy. Paint all walls a white or an off-white/ cream.  You can even paint cabinets, depending on the type.  As for flooring, if it really needs to be re-done, look into laminate flooring (i.e. Pergo).  It looks great, is easy to keep clean, is less expensive than hardwood and is requires relatively little maintenance.  You may even be able to install it yourself...it's no that hard.\n\nA neat, attractive lawn adds a great deal of curb appeal and is something you can do yourself, sometimes at little cost to you.  Plant some shrubs, put down some mulch and clear out any brush or dead plantings.  Get a power washer and wash down the outside of the house, your driveway, steps, any patios and/ or decks..you can even paint if needed.\n\nBasically, do little things that will attrach people to the house, giving them the impression that it is somewhere they would want to make their home.  Also, if you are selling, light scented candles to create a warm and cozy atmosphere.  People relate good scents to good feelings.\n\nHope this helps!!!

Which is more prefered FLW OUTDOORS  OR  BASSMASTERS ?

I prefer FLW other than bass masters. FLW is a better chance for an everyday fisherman to have fun and be able to fish against some of the best. As far as bass masters being better fisherman, the best fisherman fish both.I think what did it for me was when bass dropped Ranger Boats and went with Triton. Also starting out with FLW you fish tournaments against other pros or amateurs . Bass you join a club , real crappy way to do it. That is a long story on how that works , more complicated.

Why do the Active Army Soldiers dislike Army Reserve Soldiers?

This attitude existed prior to 9/11.  However one of the big cultural changes occurred in the Army when Reserve, Guard and Active began to be used interchangeably.\n\nIt took no time at all for soldiers to simply stop caring what component another soldier came from in Iraq.  We have had National Guard battalions plugged into Active duty brigades and Active duty battalions plugged into National Guard divisions.\n\nThe simple fact of the matter is that the professionals know that there is no difference.


Does anyone know anything, good or bad, about the web-site Pay Pal?

I have used PayPal since it first came out. Paypal is good if you are on ebay because it makes transactions a lot easier and if someone tries to rip you off by not sending something after using paypal, they will usually refund you.\nBad thing is their fees when you receive money and there are horror stories about them putting holds on peoples accounts. I never keep more than $100 in a PayPal account for that reason.

if u have a g/f or b/f, is flirting online cheating?

Well to tell you the truth, yeah i think it is. The reason is because you both should flirt with each other and with no one else. If you really truely love your bf/gf then you would not even think of doing that to the one you love. So flirting online is the same as flirting with someone as if they were right in front of you. So Dont do it if you really love them. If you are flirting with other boy/girls then dont be with the one you are with now. Because you will really hurt your bf/gf

what is all about network management means for you?

Network management, typically applied to large scale networks such as computer networks, telecommunication networks etc., refers to the maintenance and administration of such networks at the top level.\n\nNetwork management is the execution of the set of functions required for controlling, planning, allocating, deploying, coordinating, and monitoring the resources of a network.\n\nThis includes performing functions such as initial network planning, frequency allocation, predetermined traffic routing to support load balancing, cryptographic key distribution authorization, configuration management, fault management, security management, performance management, bandwidth management, and accounting management.\n\nA large number of protocols exist to support network and network device management. Common protocols include SNMP, CMIP, WBEM, Common Information Model, Transaction Language 1, Java Management Extensions, and netconf.\n\nNote: Network management does not include user terminal equipment


Prior to John the Baptist, where and for what purpose was baptism's origin?

Although Christian Baptism may perhaps be regarded as having originated with John The Baptist, baptism by immersion in water ("baptize," whether in its original Hebrew or Greek forms, literally means to immerse in water) did not originate with Christians, or with John the Baptist. Jews practiced baptism as a traditional act of purification and initiation long before the coming of the Messiah. As a Jew (a Levite actually, John was the son of a Levite priest, Zechariah i.e. Luke 1:5, and John's mother Elizabeth, also a Levite, was a relative of Mary), the man who came to be known as John the Baptist would have been well familiar with the practice before he was sent, by some unidentified individual (John 1:33), who also may have been the one who baptized John himself (there is no Biblical record of John's own baptism) to baptize, proclaiming "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." (Matthew 3:2 RSV).

This means there are three possible systems that control the application. A front end (top tier) that displays the graphics to the user. A middle layer (middle tier) that is acting as a broker for user requests and tapping the back end resources like a database. A final back end (bottom tier) is providing data services most likely.\n\nAn example would be the following type of application:\nweb browser <-> An HTTP server <-> A database \nSource(s):\nExperience

a recipe for growing crystals for a science project?

I suggest that you create a supersaturated solution first. Reason being that the more highly saturated the solution, the better the formation of the crystal and the larger the end product. This can easily be done by heating your solvent to a very high temperature and stiring in copious amounts of whatever is going to make up your crystal. Lower the heat as it goes and you should idealy end up with a very viscous solution, not so much of a liquid but more to the kind of stuff you get when you mix a bit of cornstarch with water. Thereafter dump everything in a beaker or bowl and suspend a thin wax thread in the solution itself. Cover up the bowl and leave to set for a few days. If you have done it correctly you should see a very nice, large crystal forming. Just a note though, don't let the thread touch the bottom of the bowl or even any thing other than the solution, or your crystal will be lopsided


can anyone tell me what happens if you swim in water that has blue algae in it? what are the symptoms?

People and animals may be exposed to blue-green algae in three ways: by ingestion (eating algae or drinking algae-contaminated water); by direct contact with the algae (swimming or wading in algae-contaminated water or handling algae); or by breathing in algae components.\n\nPeople who swallow water contaminated with a toxic strain of blue-green algae may experience nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, liver problems or muscle weakness. The more blue-green algae a person drinks or eats, the sicker that person may become. The episodes of severe illness and death in people and animals in other parts of the world have been caused by drinking algae-contaminated water.\n\nAlgae can be removed from water by filtration. Boiling contaminated water or adding disinfectants will not destroy all of the toxins produced by blue-green algae. It will kill the algae but in so doing releases the toxins into the water.\n\nPeople whose skin comes into contact with a toxic form of blue-green algae through swimming or other activities may experience itching, rash, irritated eyes and ears, a sore throat or other hay fever-like symptoms. This may be caused by a person's sensitivity to the components of algae rather than actual toxicity.\n\nSome people may also be sensitive to the components of algae that are released into the air, especially downwind from a large bloom. Those who have allergies or asthma may be at increased risk for irritation of eyes and airways (nose, mouth and throat) and possibly an asthma attack.

By boycotting just Exxon and Mobil (the 2 biggest companies) we can FORCE gas prices down, how about that?

Not really.  If everyone stopped buying from Exxon and used the other providers, then the other providers would run out of gas pretty quickly due to supply and demand chain effects.  What would happen is that they would buy their gas from Exxon and overall all prices would go up, not down.\n\nFull mythbuster at Snopes.\n\nhttp://www.snopes.com/politics/gasoline/gasout.asp

Is organised religion the root of all evil ?

Oh, it soo is!\n\nIf the whole 'My God's better than your god' thing wasn't a problem, all we'd have left to fight over; would be land. And at the moment, most of those fighting over land, tend to try and take it from nations of a different religion, maybe that wouldn't happen either.


How can we see our images in black glaas while we are standing in the light?

~4% of light is reflected back at normal incidence (standing in front of the mirror).  In order to see the reflected image of yourself, the light that is reflected should be brighter than any light coming through the glass.  If the glass is black, it means that little light passes through it, so it should be fairly easy to see your image.  This is also why it it is easier to see your image in transparent glass if it is brighter in the room on your side of the glass than on the other side.


Have you been picking your nose too much again? \n\nSorry, I couldn't resist.\n\nIt can certainly still be carpal tunnel syndrome - especially if the inflammation has progressed far enough. Otherwise it sounds like a neuropathy which is injury or inflammation to the nerve that goes to the little finger. When you say left side of your hand, are you referring to the side of your hand that your pinky is closer to or your thumb - because that could be either way depending on which way your hand is facing.\n\nIf it involves both the pinky and the side of the ring finger that is facing the pinky, it may be a neuropathy involving the ulnar nerve, which is the same nerve you hit when you hit your "funny bone". Otherwise if it is only the pinky, you may be putting pressure on the pinky side of the hand - constant pressure can lead to nerve injury as well.\n\nThe best thing is still to consult your doctor as you do need someone to examine it to give you a proper diagnosis. If you do not feel comfortable with your doctor, then you need to find a different doctor - feeling comfortable with your doctor is very important. You can consider following with up a neurologist or an orthopedists who happens to be a hand specialist as well, especially if you don't need a referral from your primary care doctor.\n\nHope this information provides a little start in figuring out your problem.

what is the fastest ever recorded speed in any vehicle?

The British Thrust SSC set the first supersonic land-speed record when it streaked across the Nevada desert faster than the speed of sound -- not once, but twice.\n\nThe jet-powered car rocketed by at 759.333 mph on its first run, and about 30 minutes later set the record when it was clocked at 766.109 mph on its second attempt.\n\nThe speed of sound, which varies according to weather and altitude, was calculated at 748.111 mph. Temperatures were cooler than normal in the Black Rock Desert, 125 miles north of Reno, making the vast region more conducive to faster speeds.\n\nTeam leader Richard Noble said Thrust's engines are more efficient, and the speed of sound is lower, when temperatures are cooler and the humidity is higher.

Why isn't Judas's gospel credible?it has remained untouched for more than 1800 yrs and it is authentic!

The Gospel of Judas was written many many years after the apostles lived and their associates (Timothy and Luke). Where did you get your historical research? \nGive me a break. \n\nThe gnostic gospels are from beliefs that began in the 2nd and 3rd century, which meens that the writings come from a time period more than 100 years after Jesus ministry, far later than any New Testament book. Why in the world should we believe that these later documents tell us more about events than the earlier documents? They are simply not useful for trying to understand Jesus ministry and the shape of very early Christianity. (1)\n\nThe gnostic gospels were late arrivals, which is ONE reason why church leaders rejected them ... they lacked authority since their authors were neither (a) apostles of Jesus nor (b) persons associated with apostles of Jesus... and no one knows who wrote those gnostic gospels. (2)

It is not of God.  They do not believe in the indwelling of the Holy Spirit in ALL Christians.  That is why they need a prophet (singular) to tell them what God's will is.  They are similar to the Catholic Church in that regard with their allegiance to the Pope.  God's Word-the Bible testifies that we can `have all understanding' (Ephesians 1, Colossians 1:9)\n`anyone who lacks wisdom should ask God, who gives generously to all' (James 1:5) \n\nI think Mormons are an outwardly good, moral people.  But so were the Pharisees in Jesus day....and they killed him.  The very meaning of the word `Christ' is the Anointed One'.  Anointed with what? the Holy Spirit.  Christians are likewise anointed with the Holy Spirit- we have the very Spirit of Christ living in us.  I do not need a man made prophet to `reveal' God's will to me.  I do need the confirmation of the Body of Christ, the Church, to act in God's Will.  That is the way of Christ.  \n    Also, if you study the history of the Mormon religion you will find their founder, Joseph Smith was convicted of fraud and had in fact, made a living of fraudulently swindling good people. It seems his legacy continues.

i watch the weather channel a lot and they always say stuff about low and high pressure what is it?

A pressure system is a region of the Earth's atmosphere where air pressure is unusually high or low. High and low pressures form (and die) constantly due to thermodynamic interactions of the atmosphere and water in oceans, lakes, and other bodies of water.\n\nLow pressure systems are normally associated with storms unless they are tropical storms or cyclones in which case those symbols are used. High pressure symbols are often associated with fine weather although if the highs are from the arctic it can also be associated with cool weather. Low pressure systems are normally symbolised by L while high pressure systems are indicated by a H.


where is my automatic transmission filter located i drive a suzuki swift?

Not familiar with this vehicle, but, most filters on the inside of the transmission. Look under and you will see the Transmission pan. It will have many bolts, probably 12+ about 8 or 10 mm. Have a drain pan, unscrew from one corner letting one side drop before the other. The pan will probably stick to the gasket, so, you may need to help it loose with a thin screw driver, just DO NOT bend the pan, work slow and easy until it break loose. Fluid will begin coming out (Red). Then start working more screws out further letting the one side stay lowest. When the pan removed you will see the Filter. Not sure how Many screws, some just have a little clip and you turn it out of the clip and pull down, the rubber O-ring holds it in. Be sure the Rubber O-Ring come out IF IT HAVE ONE, new filter will let you know what all you looking for on the old one. Clean off the old gasket and wipe off Fluid from Transmission and pan, I spray with a Carburetor Cleaner to remove the oil and dry. Then put the new gasket on the pan and screws back in. I start at the middle screws and work out toward the corners. DO NOT over tighten they break easy. A manual may give you a Pattern to use reinstalling the Bolts and Torque specs.

How are you going to make the world a better place then you found it?

I have been neutering feral cats and I also raise monarche butterflies and let them go.  Neutering the stray cats in my neighborhood helps cut down on the over 6 million dogs and cats that get euthanized in the US each year due to overpopulation.  It's a ridiculous situation and primarily due to people not getting their pets fixed.  SPAY YOUR PETS! \n\nButterflies are pretty and they are pollinators.  There is a virus going around in the bee population, so having more than one type of pollinator is important.

Does anyone know where the toilet is on the Starship Enterprise from Star Trek?

...according to "official" blueprints of the ship, there's a bathroom right off of the main bridge.\n\nActually, I take that back...according to Wiki:\n\nAs a running gag, bathrooms are never shown on Enterprise schematics. The gag was started when toilets were accidentally omitted from the design of the original Enterprise. This joke is referenced in Star Trek: First Contact when Zefram Cochrane asks Geordi La Forge "...don't you people from the 24th century ever pee?" In a special, aired before the final episode, Jonathan Frakes actually answered the question of where one could actually find a bathroom on a diagram of the ship, and pointed to a diagram of the Enterprise seen in Engineering, indicating where it was. For the record, the only confirmed appearance of a toilet aboard the Enterprise was in Star Trek V: The Final Frontier.

Is God real?(Please dont answer if your a 100%devotee I dont want a lecture)?

I have grown up in a Baptist church all of my life. I believe 100% in our God. I have the same question as you. It actually all came about this last week that I have been doing a lot of research on religion. I could not help myself from thinking your same question yesterday while in church. I felt quilty myself for even thinking this but it just puzzles me to no end. \n\nMy question is where did God come from. I agree there had to have been a beginning with him. Who put him here. Who sent him to Heaven & made Heaven for him to live? He was here on Earth so did he create all the disciples & the ones that crucified his son? \n\nI will keep a watch on this question b/c I would like to see the answer or an idea of where to look for it.


Actually, most school districts have made attempts to have more healthy meals in their cafeterias, but the project has always failed because the children simply will not eat the healthy food in favor of tastier but less healthy foods, or even eating out of vending machines. Most schools are strapped for money, and putting extra funds into salad bars (which are VERY labor intensive and thus very expensive in man hours) when the students simply will not respond will probably not be either politically or realistically successful.\n\nThe school district is not conspiring to make children fat, they are merely bowing to various pressures from the students; it is usually just a fight the district feels it cannot win. As such, this petition will likely do very little except alienate you and your friends from the cooking staff and likely from other students. Healthier lifestyles cannot be forced onto people, there has to be a noticeable demand already in existence.

How much heat energy has been added to the Earth by the burning of fossil fuels?

Exactly none. There is a finite amount of energy stored on the planet in the form of fossil fuels. Burning it releases this energy. You cannot add more.

Why are people taught tweve equations for Ohm's Law...?

Because algebra skills are very lacking in most people. It's just to make sure that they know what the rearranged formula's look like. But you are right, those 2 laws are probably all you need to remember. P=IE is always true, but remember than Ohm's Law is only an approximation for materials that have a linear E vs R graph, such as metals at room temperature. Its not true for semiconductors and gas discharges.
