do  you  think  its  the  fault  of  teachers  that  student  dont  score  high  on  tests??

*sigh* Ok I need an hour to address this one. \n\nThere are so many factors to consider. School environment of course is a huge factor in a child's education and success. I agree that teacher's have a huge responsibility in making sure the students not only learn the skills but also the processes of learning. But just as a doctor's responsibility is to diagnose and prescribe the best cure, a teacher must diagnose a child's learning style and adjust their teaching style to accomodate those of the students. If a doctor has tried several prescriptions and the patient's body is not responding, do we blame the doctor? Therefore, why do we jump to blaming the teacher after he or she have tried several methods of teaching the material to the student? Do we blame the lawyer for not getting the serial murderer off the hook despite the evidence? Definitely not. \n\nDo we blame the policeman when crime is still on the streets? Hmmmm.......seems like we do. Do we blame the butcher for selling us tough meat when we overcook our steaks? Hmmmmm.......yes again. Do we blame the President of the United States when all domestic issues just don't seem to go according to plan? Yep......we surely do. So why is this? Could it be that society has gotten to a point where we refuse to accept our responsibilities? Are we spending more times placing blame on others instead of finding ways to make improvements starting right in our own households?\n\nTeachers, as all other professions, carry a heavy burden. But parents need to realize that the way their child learns is greatly influenced by the standards they set very early in life. If children know they are responsible for their behavior.....they behave. When children know they are held responsible for their learning......they become a student in every sense of the word. Teachers can teach and teach and teach and spoon feed and coddle and still a child that is not motivated to succeed will make no progress. \n\nIs it the fault of teachers that students don't always score high on tests? All cases are different........but indeed if we put our faith in the firemen, policemen, doctors, lawyers and politicians of the community.......we should surely lay our faith with the educators of today. \n\nLet education start at home.

What would happen if you were going the speed of light and you turned your flashlight on?

Well, its absolutely impossible to travel at or faster then the speed of light, but lets pretend you can so i can actually give you an answer to the question. The speed of light is actually the ultimate speed limit to the universe, nothing can travel faster than light, so although you would expect the light to be going at twice the speed of light (you plus the speed of light)it can't because it is physically impossible for even light to travel faster than the speed of light so it would be going slower than you and not reach any path in front of you. Of course, if you turned on your headlights before you started moving, the light would be one step ahead of you.\n\nOf course, still, nothing can go faster then the speed of light because in the formula for time dialation(time slows down for an object moving close to the speed of light) t'=t/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2) where t' is the time passing for an outside observer, t is the time that passes for the object going at the high velocity, v is velocity, speed is the speed of light and ^2 is squared. (note: this formula is definately correct, it's part of einstein's theory of relativity and I've had to derive it myself for class in the past) so if v was bigger than c, you would have a number greater than one and therefore a negative number under a square root, which is impossible.


Is making an alloy a chemical or physical change?

An alloy is a combination, either in solution or compound, of two or more elements, which has a combination of at least one metal, and where the resultant material has metallic properties. The result is a metallic substance with properties different from those of its components.\n\nIn chemistry, a physical change is when a substance undergoes some form of change that does not change the substance at the molecular level (i.e. a chemical change). Physical changes do not create new substances, as in a chemical change, but result in the same substance in a different form or shape. A physical change in which a substance changes states between solid, liquid and gas is called a phase change. When water is frozen into ice it undergoes a phase change, and thus a physical change, as it is still water but in a different form. Under normal conditions physical changes can generally be considered reversible, however this does not always hold true.\n\nA chemical change is a process in which reactants are changed into one or more different products. A chemical change occurs whenever new compounds are formed or existing compounds decomposed. During this reaction, chemical bonds between atoms are broken and new chemical bonds formed. This results in a rearrangement of the chemical bonds.\n\nCONCLUSION/ ANSWER to you question!\nThus, brass, an alloy of copper and zinc, will still have individual copper and zince molecules, there is no change at the molecular level. No new compound has been formed. \nSo alloy undergoes PHYSICAL CHANGE!

how can i start investing in the stock market?

I would suggest that you try a free trial game first to see how you do, after all wouldn't it be better to lose money on a program (or on paper) than in real life? Also, you can learn that way. Here is one: http://compsimgames.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?zi=1/XJ&sdn=compsimgames&zu=http%3A%2F%2Fwtc.wallstreet-challenge.com%2F\n\nI do know that you want to shop around to see how much each transaction will cost. That's about the extent of my knowledge...hopefully someone will come along to give you more advice.


Tooth enamel is the hardest and most mineralized substance of the body. It is the normally visible dental tissue of a tooth. Enamel's primary mineral is hydroxyapatite, which is a crystalline calcium phosphate. The large amount of minerals in enamel accounts not only for its strength but also for its brittleness. \n\nThe eggshell is approximately 95% calcium carbonate crystals, which are stabilized by a protein matrix. Without the protein, the crystal structure would be too brittle to keep its form. \n\nThus both eggshells and teeth have crystalline calcium carbonate!


What could be wrong with my friend ? He has trouble swallowing food ?

This kind of dysphagia (difficulty swallowing) can be indicative of a lot of problems. It may be a neurological issue, a psychological problem, or physiological condition in his throat. He really needs to go see a doctor before he becomes malnuorished (sp?) and becomes sicker. It's probably treatable, assuming he is healthy now.


My guy friend moved, I miss him, but he's moved on. What should I do?

Well, if he's moved on, you should do the same. It takes time, so don't think it's gonna happen overnight. Just try to be positive, and eventually, things will be OK in your life again.

what are causes of boils to form on the buttocks?

I would suggest seeing a doctor. I myself have had them before and was told that sometimes its genetics. You might want to make sure its not something serious, and yes they are painful, if you go to the dr they will drain the boil - NOW THAT HURTS. Warm baths will help them go away. I am a very clean person so I doubt my boil had anything to do with being dirty, but you might want to switch soaps or change detergents - and if you sweat a lot use powder.

How do I explain to my friend that she can't depend on other people in order to be happy?

I used to be like that and all of my friends tried to help me but it was something that I had to learn on my own.  I went through a hard break-up and then I didn't even think about guys for around 6 months.  Now I have a new man and I'm happy but I realize that I could make it on my own and be happy w/out a man.  My situation may be different that your friend's though.

There are a couple that I know of, and they are foodborne. The first woudl be Trichinomas. It comes from eating undercooked pork. It's symptoms are swelling around the eyes, muscle pain, and fever. Another would be a tapeworm. Its biggest symptom is rapid weight loss. Another is a parasite you can get from certain fish. It's really gross. It attaches to your esophogus and lays its eggs there. The host usually learns about it by coughing up the eggs. Nasty!


The same 4 fundamental forces in the universe: Strong, weak, electromagnetic and gravity. Of course, it should be noted that we have made substantial progress into showing that the weak and electromagnetic forces are two aspects of the same force, and that even the strong force can be associated very closely with the electroweak force. There are many attempts to connect all 4 forces into one universal force law, but this effort is not yet complete and the results are not yet universally accepted. \n\nThere are some indications that we do not really understand gravity very well, because we do not understand its quantum aspects too well, and there is even evidence emergy for some sort of repulsive gravitational phenomenon from astronomical observations. \n\nThe discovery of any other forces would be quite surprising, and very big news.

Which is better a AMD Processor or an Intel Processor? Why?

Right now, AMD makes the best processors in my opinion. This doesn't mean that all AMD processors are better than Intel processors, however, just that the top of the line AMDs are the best you can get in my opinion. You are on the right track getting dual core. Don't look at clock speeds if you are comparing Intel to AMD, as they rate them differently and AMDs report slower clock speeds even though the chip may be faster. If you really want to get down to it, checck the benchmarks that http://www.tomshardware.com have. They will help to show which processors are faster at which tasks.\n\nIf my answer was helpful, don't forget to consider rating it as the best. Thanks!

Love and lust are two very different things Lisa but both can be unconditional and lasting. Both are based on understanding and sharing common needs and life objectives. If you have two people whos objective is LOVE then there is a chance of it being unconditional and lasting. If you have two people whos objective is SEX then there is a chance of it being unconditional and lasting. If one persons objective is LOVE and the other's SEX the relationship is doomed.\n\nNothing wrong with either. As long as the relationship is clearly defined, undertood, and fullfilling both can be long term.\n\nRascal

how high are interest rates going to go?

Interest rates are now going to go down.\n\nOn the long term and since 1981 long-term interest rates (the 30 years treasury bond) have steadily gone down from 14.5% to 4.7%.\n\nThis is due to the fact that credit discriminates against the poor. So rich get richer and poor get poorer.\n\nThe marginal use of the money for the rich is savings the marginal use of the money for the poor is consumption.\n\nMore and more money (savings) are chasing investments. The revenues of those investments is the consumption which is going down relative to the mean of revenues.\n\nSo the return of the savings, that is the profit of the investments naturally go down: It is GreenSPan Con-UN-Drum

The heat and light in the sun is due to the vast amounts of energy produced at the core. At the core hdrogen atoms combine together to form Helium atoms due to the pressure (billions of atmospheres.) and temperature (15 million degrees C). This reaction is called fusion. \n\n  However the mass of the helium atoms produced is slightly less than the combining hydrogen atoms. This difference in the mass is coverted into energy according to einsteins equation E= mc2 (c is squared).\n  This energy is in the formed of gamma rays which reaches the earth. However what we look at is only the surface of the sun called the "photosphere" which is very much cooled than the core (just 6000 degrees).\n\nThe sun wont always be bright. Eventually as the hydrongen gets used up, the reaction will slow down and the sun will become a red giant and on further reduction will become a white dwarf and at the end it will be a black dwarf.


Are fish the most old species and mostly unchanged on Earth?

No, the fish isn't the oldest species. A group of bacteria, the cyanobacteria (bluegreen alge) have left a fossil record that extends far back into the Precambrian Era. The oldest cyanobacteria-like fossils known are nearly 3.8 billion years


The process by which immature eggs in the ovary mature is called oogenesis. This process consists of two phases of meiosis. During each of these phases a polar body is produced. In the case of humans, they are not important to reproduction. In some species they do play a role in the maturation of the egg. IFor each oocyte produices three polar bodies are created that later disintegrate.

How would you convince your parents to let you get your drivers license?

The reason that parents don't let their kids have licenses, in general, is that they don't want their kids to get hurt.  Kids get hurt, again in general, because they are immature and don't know how to stay out of trouble.  Parents don't want kids to make potentially lethal mistakes.\n\nThe way to change parents' minds, then, is by proving to them just how responsible, mature, and non-reckless you really are.  This takes time, but I'm sure you know what to do.


What do u do to be noticed by the guy u didn't mean to fall in love with?

People fall in love with people who make them feel important. Find out what he likes and start getting interested in them. I am not talking about immorality or compromise, but real interest that will give you more opportunity to see him and learn his likes. Love is giving. If you make him feel important, he will notice you.


28yrs and still working on my career, should I stop and have my first child?

No way!!! Just look at the handle you chose, "sexy&hot". Do you really want that cold bucket of water at this point of life and carrer. I´m 41, married and father of a 4 1/2 yr old girl. For us, it had been an amazing experience. But by the time she was born, we were debtless homeowners, with established careers and education, and had pretty much traveled every place we wanted to. Believe me, at 28 you´ve really just barely made it out of your biochemical / emotional adolescence! Live a little, get your all your stuff together and, when the time is right, you will make a great parent.\nBut bear in mind, once you become a parent, even "dinner and a movie" might be impossible for quite a while (yrs maybe). You´ll miss out on a lot of things and might even resent the child or simply be a little neglectful (very common of child-parents). So, to sum it up, WAIT!


If crued oil runs out, then how would the world survive?

This is a very complex question.  \n\nThe crude oil reserves in the world are a semi-finite resource.  It takes many millions of years to create the oil that is in the earth. So it is possible to run out.\n\nCurrently there are no plans in place by any nation that could compenate for the depletion of this valuable natural resource.\n\nSome alternatives are being developed. Solar - greatly available but unfortunatly at this time the efficiency of the solar cells is not up to the task of replacing oil.\n\nWind energy - another good option but the size of a wind farm to generate suffient amounts of energy is restrictive. There is not enough land available.\n\nThermal currents on the ocean - Another way to harness solar energy but again VERY inefficient.\n\nNuclear Fission - Already in use on a large scale.  drawbacks are the waste that it produces. EXTREMELY Dangerous radiation that lasts for thousands of years.\n\nNuclear Fussion - This is the power that drives the sun. Couple different versions are being developed but at this time there are not any viable solutions. Possible in the future but currently take a lot of energy to create this engery.\n\nBio Fuels - a great alternative that is already widely in use. again the main drawback here is the amount of land that would be needed to supply the amount of fuel that we use.  We do not have enough at the current time.  We would need almost all of our current farm land to supply the energy need and not have any available for food needs.\n\nFuel Call technology - A very good source of fuel and very clean as well. however the main type of fuel cell is currently the Hydrogen Fuel cell. This is relatively expensive to make and uses some elements that could be also be depleted in the future. also Raw hydrogen is expensive to make. Even though it is thought to be the most abundant element in the universe, most of it is bound up in other compounds. (ie. water, other fuels)\n\nCoal - another very abundant fuel source. Drawback - burns with more polution.\n\nSo overall, the world would definitly change if/when we run out of crude oil.  Things will become more expensive. Polution could get worse unless other fuels can be found that are more enviormentally friendly.  \n\nNo one knows for sure if or when it will run out but there are options. Just be prepared for many different products to come to market that will replace the ones that contain crude oil and its byproducts.

Peyronie’s disease is characterized by the formation of hardened tissue (fibrosis) in the penis that causes pain, curvature, and distortion, usually during erection. The penis is the male organ for reproduction and urination. It is composed of two columns of erectile tissue (the corpora cavernosa); the corpus spongiosum, which contains the tube that carries urine and semen from the body (urethra); and the sheath that surrounds the erectile tissue (tunica albuginea). In Peyronie’s disease, dense, fibrous scar tissue (plaque) forms in the tunica albuginea.

how can you get an international job, working in some countries around the world?

You may want to try with companies that employ world wide or work world wide. There are some transnational companies Ex. General Motors, Coca-Cola (and not only US companies) that operates world wide, once there you may have more chances to move around different countries. Other companies such as airlines, maritime transportation and cruises are other options, also engineering companies (oil and mining and related). These companies always search for new people, professionals and non-professionals. If you don't have experience, look for entry level positions where experience is not required. World class companies usually have programs to develop employees.

Email services offer  1 GB of space, do they have a hard disk?, How big is it?

So typically they will have some disk array (essentially a massive array of hard disks), either managed directly or outsourced to some hosting company. Unlike your PC these disks are not inside a PC box, but rather independent devices on a network.\n\nHave a look here to understand better:\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_array

Valentine's Day gift for husband of 12 years?


what should we do on first night...i mean talk or.....?

You can start talking, yes. The first night might be problematic since you are both tired and it's hard to keep the performance. For that reason it might be better to do it the second night, when the pressure is less. But, that is just a general guideline. If you are both feeling it, go ahead. You will probably know what to do, to go ahead or to postpone. Just trust your instincts, and the most important thing, as strange as it may sound, simply try to relax. In a relaxed state you are more likely to reach a good decision, whichever it may be.\nHope that helps


Dose any one know where you can downlode free music?

You can download the music for free from the following websites :\n\nhttp://www.purevolume.com/\nhttp://www.somesongs.com/\nhttp://www.webjay.org/\nhttp://www.coolgoose.com/\nhttp://www.soundclick.com/\nhttp://www.mag4you.com/\nhttp://www.epitonic.com/\nhttp://www.emusic.com/ -> 50 songs free upon sign up\n\nThe other option is using P2P softwares like limewire (http://www.limewire.com), Ares (http://www.aresgalaxy.com) , Bearshare (http://www.bearshare.com) as the other users have already thrown light on that, so I don't need to repeat it again. But remember on thing, its always better to subscribe to some service, paying a minimal fee per month. Both legally, as well as it would give the artists their due share for their artistic creation, and encourage them further to make better songs.

What is the most effective way to market a workshop so people will want to attend?

This is hard not knowing what kind of workshop you are trying to set up.  However there are some basic 101 things that you can do.  Direct mail ..show that this is a formal workshop and note the hours the instructors their qualifications ..let them call or email to RSVP..very official stuff.  Or you can make fliers with a promotion..offer door prizes (get a local business to sponser in exchange for marketing) or say "1st 50 people get in FREE" people will go if its free.  Call up local pastors and explain that you have a workshop for ________ wanted to invite members of their church to come can you have about 10 min to address the church..promise to donate money to the church.  Also you can speak at local college or forum let them know there is a workshop for _______ and let them know of the incentives if they come.  People will only attend if they know there is something in there for them...knowlege..free drinks (after the event)...free food...prizes (like a $1000 drawing).

Whats the lowest point (elevation) of the earth? How deep? Where?

"The Mariana Trench (or Marianas Trench) is the deepest known submarine trench, and the deepest location in the Earth's crust itself. It is located in the floor of the western North Pacific Ocean, to the east of the Mariana Islands at 11°21′N 142°12′E, which is near Guam. The trench is the boundary where two tectonic plates meet, a subduction zone where the Pacific Plate is being subducted under the Philippine Plate. The bottom of the trench is further below sea level than Mount Everest is above sea level.\n\nThe trench has a maximum depth of 10,911 m (35,798 feet) below sea level. Taking into account its latitude and the Earth's equatorial bulge, this puts it at 6,366.4 km from the centre of the Earth. The Arctic Ocean, on the other hand, is 4-4.5 km deep, which would put its floor at ~6,352.8 km from the Earth's centre, 13.6 km closer."


Is it true that if you eat the queen bee all of the worker bees become your minions?

They do not become your minion. The bee colony is centered to the queen bee as it is the only individual in the colony with the capability to breed and renew the colony's numbers. Thus without the queen a colony would soon be wiped out with no new bees born. If you have a queen bee, the entire colony will follow it and make the nest whereever the queen resides. Beekeepers often use this method to keep hives by securing the queen in a hive with outlets only the smaller worker bees are capable of entering and exiting since the queen is several sizes larger. When they move the hive, the entire colony follows. You do not become the bees rulers, they just tolerate you and are only devoted to theur queen.

How do I clear all memory of Internet files on my computer? Details if you click.?

Use webroot's Window Washer program. It gets rid of what is hidden after You delete temp internet files. They are called tif files. You can buy the software or as most would do is download it off a P2P share site like Limewire, which is legal by the way. Window Washer 4.8 version is better than 5.0 or later.Just don't get rid of temp files which is different from temp internet files. Some of those files contain uninstall programs even if folder is blank. Trust me on that one..good luck.


how do I tell my boyfriend that I like a few other guys?

theres really no way around just go ahead and talk to him let him know you value his friendship, but  and you go from there, but try to do this as soon as possible because you dont want to keep anything from him the longer you wait the more complicated it will be.


a very, very good question...\nmy best guess is because we're silly and assume that the wars did solve our problems. they didn't, but we do end up getting our way often when we slaughter hundreds or thousands of people, so we overlook that our people were slaughtered and we lost resources and innocent people died. maybe we're hoping in the back of our minds that the kids will be smart enough to realize that if we all lived by the "don't hurt people" rule then the world would be a much better place, but when one person doesn't play fair it puts the others in an awkward position.

where is the best place to meet nice men.?

Museums are good.  So is a park (when the weather is nice), art shows, flea markets, antique stores, the library, a church (if you attend), farmer's markets, neighborhood fairs, some malls, cafes and restaurants, and so on...\nSound like you might have had trouble at the gym.  (Macho, macho man.  I wanna be.....)\nMore important than the place is your awareness.  Pay attention to the men around you.  Notice them noticing you.  At work, at play, everywhere you go.  The perfect man (or nearly so, as if any of us is perfect), will usually appear in your life just about the time you stop looking.  If you are not paying attention, you will miss him.


What's better 2 sticks of 512 RAM or 1 stick of 1Gb?

Why is it that when things get wet they get darker, even though water is clear?

Pure water is transparent and can not change the color of a cloth.  However, when light (photons) enter say blue cloth all the wavelengths that are not blue are absorbed and the blue is reflected.  However, these blue photons are diffused through the cloth.  Adding water allows the photons to interact with water molecule electrons and escape unchanged much easier to your eye and the true color of the cloth dye becomes apparent and darker.  It is also true that when you mend cloth the thread you use only needs to be a close color match (not identical).  A single thread is too small to reveal its true color and will blend (and become overwhelmed) with the overall cloth color.  Notice that white paint does not get darker when wet with water.  All photons (every wave length) are still reflected.

Can someone tell me where the CNN pole on who would vote for Hillary Clinton in 2008 is?

Why is that early marriages are happening so much presently?

Because people are lonelier nowadays, and once they find the probable "perfect one", they don´t want to let the other away. So they marry in a hurry, to find out later on that the "perfect one" is not that perfect, and in fact has dozens of imperfections. So they start early and finish early also.


I am confused, when we supported bin Laden against the Russians he was a freedom fighter now he is a Terrorist

Look up Mr. bin Laden on the internet. Then look up some info on alternative theories to 9/11. Give yourself a full rounded education on the man. Also, you may want to check out "House of Bush/House of Saud." Good read, and you may be surprised to see how close our president is to this freedom fighter/terrorist. Also, You have to understand that not every country agrees with us, and how would you feel if another country was coming into the US and kidnapping people and taking over our country. As US citizens, would we not fight? Would we then be "freedom fighters" or "terrorists" when we launched attacks on the country which was invading us?


i'd say go drinking. after all, you are turning 21.


Usually you need to do research first. Go to the library, read articles online, and talk to people who know something about the subject. Next go to the subject yourself, observe and interview. Now you're ready to write. Start with a sentence that will make people want to read more (i.e. If Sally Jones had only done this she could have saved herself). The following paragraphs will detail what happened and the last paragraph will sum it all up.

I have a new e-mail address and want to get rid of my old one.?

1.  Prepare and send a generic email message telling your friends and associates your new email address.  You can put their addresses all on the same TO line, or 1 or more on the TO and some on the CC line.  If you don't want them all to see each other's address, put your new address on the TO line and your friends and associates email addresses on the BCC line (blind carbon copy).\n\n2.  If your old email provider has a forwarding service, follow their instructions to set up your old email address to forward to your new address.  Keep the forwarding going for 2 weeks to 1 month.  This will catch all your friends and associates that didn't get your change-of-address-email.  You can then respond to them with instructions to change your entry in their address book to the new address.\n\n3.  Finally, follow your old email provider's instructions to cancel or delete the old address.


I would like to know more about Communist run States as in Kerala.?

Communism as such means a political party in favour of the working class. It was party formed by the workers to oppose the rich or the wealtheir. The working class has always been oppressed under the rich factory owner who used to utilise them.\n\nJust like any other countries, there are labor union for companies, but in kerala, the communist party being very strong and supporting to the workers, there you can see many workers union for 90% of the factories and companies. This in a way was/is to support the interest of the workers.


you proabaly need to select the "INPUT" source for the PiP and yeah, sometimes its difficult to change the channel on the smaller pic.  I think on my TV its easier because the big pic will be off satellite and the PiP 'source' coming from the VCR so I can just change the channel on the VCR using its remote (or the satellite remote if needed).

someone keeps on deleting my history on my comp. do u know how i can find it on my comp. to view?

Well, it won't be in the trash bin because it recycles to the hard drive, so unless you want to waste 200 bucks taking it to a technician that will merely use high-tech equipment to restore it, I suggest you just don't bother.\n\nBesides, clearing your history can be good, the less space used on your computer the better!


Well, Is anybody interested in buying some land I have for wholesale? its a good investment.?


Do we live in a Republic or a Democracy?

I'm impressed by these answers... usually people say "Democracy."  I don't know if the term "Democracy" was even used before Woodrow Wilson coined the phrase "We must make the world safe for Democracy."\n\nWell, perhaps it was, but I think that Wilson meant it as a more generic term for free societies, and somehow it mutated into a catch-all description of our form of government, which, even after the ratification of the 17th Amendment, is still, in my estimation, a Republic.


Kerala, one of the smallest states in the Republic of India, was formed in 1956. It has an area of 15,005 sq. miles. [38,863 sq. km. ] about one percent of the total land area of India. \n\nThe state stretches for about 360 miles along the Malabar coast on the western side of the Indian peninsula; its width varies from 20 to 75 miles. It is bordered by the states of karnataka on the north, Tamil Nadu to the east and the arabian sea to the west . The state has 14 districts and the capital is in Trivandrum. \nIsolated from the deccan plateau by the mountanious belt of the Western Ghats, but with a long coastline open to foreign influences, Kerala has evolved a unique culture. It is a highly politicized region, but has a long tradition of religious amity. It is an educationally advanced state with its own language, Malayalam, and has the highest rate of literacy (100%) among Indian states. Women in Kerala enjoy a high social status, thanks perhaps to its historic matrilineal system. Art forms of Kerala range from Kalaripayattu, the martial art believed to be the origin of various other oriental ones, to Kathakali, one of the dance forms of Kerala considered to be amongst the oldest indian dance styles. The elegant snake boat races have always been the favorite of tourists visiting Kerala. \n\nKerala is a land of great natural beauty. From the majestic heights of the Western Ghats the country undulates westward presenting a vista of silent valleys clothed in the richest green. Among the many rivers that glide across the plains to merge their waters with the Arabian sea, the more important are the Periyar, the Pamba and the Bharatha puzha. The elegant waterfalls at Athirampally near Trichur is a popular tourist spot. Along the coast, sand dunes shelter a linked chain of lagoons and backwaters the still waters of which are studded with sea-gulls and country canoes plying at a snails pace. The silence of the clear skies is broken only by the coos of koels, a type of cuckoo, and the frequent flutter of cranes perched on the embankments. The highest peak of peninsular India Annai Mudi is located in this state.  \n\nThe climate is equable and varies little from season to season. The temperature normally ranges from 80 to 90 F in the plains but drops to about 70 F in the highlands. The state gets its due share of both the southwest as well as the northeast monsoons, and the rainfull is heavy, averaging around 118 inches annually


How hard is it to maintain a go-kart? Does it cost a lot of money?

it really depends on the driver and the go cart it can be really cheap or expensive to have on. and if you do not realy know any thing about cars or go carts it is realy hard to learn.


xenia,\n\nI think it's just STUPID that anyone would refuse to sell condoms to anyone, because of age.  When will people learn that that's how unwanted pregnancy and disease is spread?  People will DO what they want to DO, regardless of whether they have a rubber or not...better just to have one, ya know?\n\nIf you're in a decent-sized town, there should be a local free clinic.  He could stop by there and probably get them for free, and he doesn't have to listen to their schpiel, if he doesn't want to.


what are some ways to study for good  grades if you have dislexia?

My son was diagnosed with D. in the third grade. Does your school have a class designed to tutor you? My son had to have assignments and tests read to him, and he was allowed to answer verbally. He taped the classes. Some assignments were altered. Not made easier, but if it required alot of writing, he was able to use a computer. We even homeschooled for 5 years.  We found a curriculum that was alot of hands on experiences.  It is hard. Hang in there, you're an inspiration to someone watching you.


which subtance enters and leaves the cell by osmosis in both seawater and brackish water?

That's a better question!\n\nHmmm....Let's see....Gee, that's a tough one!  Osmosis requires a concentration gradient, but since seawater is more concentrated than freshwater, you would expect the concentration gradients to be opposite, and you would expect that osmosis would work in one and active transport would be required in the other.\n\nHmmm.....let's see now....what could it be?\n\nCould it be something that is more concentrated in seawater AND freswater than it is in the cell?  Hmmm....let's see, what could that be?\n\nOH!  I'VE GOT IT!!\n\nThink hard, now, and you'll get it, too!  The answer is a little unexpected!  (you might even have to look in your textbook or class notes...hope you weren't sleeping that day!)


does the air in a sealed plastic bag contribute to the weight?

Excellent question!  The air does contribute to the mass (and consequently the weight) of the bag.  However, if you weigh a bag inflated with air and a flat bag you will not observe any difference, no matter how precise your balance is.  This is because when you weigh the empty (i.e. flat) bag, you are actually also weighing the column of air extending from the top of the bag, and actually the entire surface of the balance, to the top of the atmosphere.  When you inflate the bag, you put some air inside, but you also displace an equal amount of air from that column of air above the bag.  Thus the weight of the bag increases slightly but the weight of the air above it decreases the same amount, so the measured weight is the same.  If you were to weigh an empty bag and a bag full of air in a vacuum you would detect a measurable difference in weight.\n\n***Comment on Jennifer's Experiment***\nThe additional weight of the inflated balloon is actually mainly saliva not air.  As per J-bo's answer the bouyant forces cancel out the air that is inside the balloon (the inflated balloon weighs more but the air under it rather than the balance supports the extra weight).  The effect of the weight of the air would only be visible in a vacuum or if the air inside the balloon was at a higher pressure than outside (which it may be in a balloon but generally would not be in a plastic bag)  However, the bouyant force does not negate the existance of the additional weight it just makes it difficult to measure.


In American Football can you run a successful 2 point conversion then get a field goal right after?

no, there is a change of possession after the two point conversion attempt, regardless of whether or not it has been successful.


what are the best racquets for tennis elbow?

Solutions for tennis elbow.  Ice, ice, and ice.  Those tennis elbow things for the arm really help to.  When your stretching out you tennis elbow arm, stretch it, but not too far.  You should really rest for a couple of days.  Ice it even when it has stopped hurting.  If you don't, tennis elbow can come back quickly.  Find a couch, and talk to him.

Go on tennis warehouse and look at tennis elbow string.  They really make them.  Good luck.  Tennis elbow royaly stinks.

The best way to analyze the effectiveness of a poem is to examine it's effect on yourself. What words grasp you emotionally and what do they remind you of? Read it aloud and listen to the rythms, whether staccato or smooth. A lot of what you feel while reading this poem is what most other people will be feeling. I say go with your gut on this one.


who has invented the steel structures for the first time?

I believe it might have been Gustave Eiffel.  He's most famous for the Eiffel Tower, but he used steel frames in buildings before that.  It's interesting that he sometimes put the steel frame on the outside of the structure, rather than the inside.  A good example of this is the Nestlé chocolate factory in Noisiel, France

Do you approve of the National Security Agency's secret wiretapping?

I strongly believe in our right to privacy. However they are not listening to my phone calls, and if it would save American lives then I would gladly let them listen. One previous answer quoted Ben Franklin. However Franklin lived in a much different time and couldn't even imagine the enemyies we are facing today. How would you feel if they could have avoided the 911 attack by listening to a phone call and didn't because they did not want to infringe on the civil liberties of a few wack jobs.

In the state of Texas is it illegal for a 18 year old to be with a 17 year old?

If by "being with" you mean a sexual relationship:\n\nThe age of consent in Texas is 17.   \n\nPenal Code Sec. 21.11.:  Indecency With a Child.\n\n(a) A person commits an offense if, with a child younger than 17 years and not his spouse, whether the child is of the same or opposite sex, he:\n\n (1) engages in sexual contact with the child;\n\n\nb) It is an affirmative defense to prosecution under this section that the actor:\n\n   (1) was not more than three years older than the victim and of the opposite sex; and\n\n   (2) did not use duress, force, or a threat against the victim at the time of the offense.\n\nSo...if she were 16 and you were 19, it would be legal, but if you were 20, it would not.

Ideas for increasing Click Through Rate (CTR) with GoogleAds?

I would suggest that you create a bunch of campaigns in AdWords so that you can track to see what is and is not working.  I also suggest that you turn on some ads and turn off others to analyze what seems to be working at different times of day.  The web audience is different during the day vs. during the night.  A good click rate doesnt necessary translate into a good conversion rate -- you need to analyze the tags and ads that are working and push those more.  It could actually make sense for you to increase your CPC rate if it makes financial sense.


What does the I stand for when referring to "current" in electricity? I know V=volts and R=resistance but "I"?

Is it normal for guys to like it in the behond?

If they are gay or just really freaky, yea.


I'm actually curious about that myself.  I have quite a few icons left over from older versions of AIM and since installing Triton am unable to find out how to use them.\n\nIf you can't, I suppose we can always chalk it up to it being a matter of time before they made that proprietary.\n\nAnd then we move on to....\n\nTrillian...


http://www.boytharness.com/duckguns.htm\n\n\n\nLocation\n Location is the single most important aspect of hunting waterfowl. \n In order to kill any number of ducks consistently you need a good spot. Even the best duck hunter will not kill many ducks in a bad spot. \n To find a good spot you can either scout on your own or ask around but usually a combination of the two works best. So go find a good place to hunt and kill some ducks. \n\nEquipment\nOnce you've found a good place to set up you're only about 3/4 of the way out of the woods. You still need to have the right stuff to get the fowl in nice and tight. Plus having all the trinkets and equipment of waterfowling is a good portion of the fun, and a great conversation piece in the blind.\n\nThere are several areas of equipment that are necessary to every waterfowl hunter: Guns, Shells, Decoys, Calls, some way to move around in the water, and some form of concealment.\n\nGuns:\n\n There is a lot of variety when it comes to duck guns. Basically it comes down to personal preference. \n If you’re in the market for a new gun look around and ask people about their favorite duck gun. Then figure out what you want in terms of action, choke, etc. \n Go to a store or gun show and try out the various makes and models of guns to see what fits you best and which is the most comfortable. \n There is one thing you don't need to worry about trying to decide on and that is what gauge of shotgun to buy, that's a given, a twelve gauge is the only affective gun to hunts ducks with using steel shot. A ten gauge will do the job too but they are too bulky. \n\nShells:\n\n In order to hunt ducks and geese legally you need to use non-toxic shot. There are three types of non-toxic shot available today steel, Bismuth, and Tungsten. \n Steel has been around the longest but it is the worst performing. \n There are a few tricks needed to kill waterfowl with steel shot. The two main things you need to know are to use big shot and buy fast shells. \n Bismuth and Tungsten work very well (along the same lines as lead) but they are awfully expensive. One advantage of Bismuth is that you can shoot it through old guns that are not made to handle steel or tungsten. \n\nDecoys:\n\n There is an infinite variety of decoys available. They are made out of variety of materials: Cedar, Cork, Foam, and Plastic. \n Cedar and Cork look beautiful and ride the water just like a real duck, however these are all handcrafted and fetch exuberant prices that the average hunter can not afford. \n Foam and plastic will also draw ducks. Foam is better because it is solid and can absorb being shot, rides the water better, and are more easily repainted. Foam decoys are still fairly expensive. \n Plastic decoys are cheap and still very realistic looking. Try mallard decoys that are all magnum size - these are slightly larger than life size so they have additional drawing power, but they are still close enough that ducks will swim into them on a regular basis. \n\nCalls:\n\n The sound of a good call is one of my favorite parts of duck hunting. \n Every call sounds different depending on who blows it. So to find the right call for you, you probably need to try out a few, plus some days ducks will respond better too than others, so it is good to have a spare. \n \n \n \n\nReturn to top of page\n\n \n\nWaterfowl Hunting Tips:\n \n Use the sun, wind, and other natural features of the landscape to your benefit when setting up. Set up in short timber and shallow water whenever possible. Short timber because the ducks will come in lower and shallow water because that's where they want to feed. \n Take time to not only practice your calling but to learn how ducks actually use different sounds. Then go back and practice. \n Use effective camouflage that matches the terrain you hunt. We have many hunts where the ducks simply don't want to work to the decoys around the blind, so we get out of the blind and are able to

If Peter Pipper picked a peck of pickled peppers, how many can your mom pick?

here is what I though your mom could pick:\n\na million\n\na magnum\n\na mace- (a traditional Chinese unit for weighing precious metals, especially silver.  This would be 2/15 ounce or about 3.78 grams.)\n\nmomme- a traditional Japanese weight unit corresponding to the Chinese mace (see above).

The mina is roughly comparable to the pound, but over the centuries it varied quite a bit. In Babylonian times it was a large unit, roughly 2 pounds, almost as much as a kilogram. The Hebrew mina, frequently mentioned in the Bible, is estimated at 499 grams \n\nmyriagram (myg)- a metric unit of mass equal to 10 000 grams or 10 kilograms \n\nmilliliter (ml or mL)- a very common metric unit of volume\n\nmiddy- an informal unit of volume for beer used in many Australian pubs\n\nmilliard- a unit of volume used by engineers to describe a large quantity of water.\n\nmetric pound- an informal name for a mass of 500 grams \n\nmaß (mass)- a unit of volume for beer in Germany and Austria, usually equal to one liter today.\nmarc, marco, or mark- traditional units of weight in various countries of Western Europe\n\nmandel- a traditional German unit of quantity equal to 15.\n\na mole\n\na millogram\n\na minex\n\na microgram\n\na magnitude\n\nmegatonne (Mt)- a metric unit of mass or weight equal to one million metric tons\n\nmease- a unit of quantity formerly used by fishermen.

How fast is our solar system traveling thru space?

The Earth rotates on its axis at 1000 miles per hour (1600 kph). It orbits around the Sun at an average speed of around 67,250 miles per hour (107,600 kph). The Sun, in turn, is orbiting around the centre of the galaxy at a speed of 540,000 miles per hour. So the combined speed through space of the Earth and the Sun is 607,250 miles per hour. But there´s more - our Galaxy is also hurtling through space at a speed of 360,000 miles per hour. The combined motion of the Earth, Sun and Galaxy means that we are about twenty three and a quarter million miles away from where we were in space this time yesterday.\n\n  The Solar Sytem is believed to be about 4.5 billion years old but it's constituent parts were undoubtedly moving even before that. It is predicted\nthat our Milky Way galaxy will collide with the Andromeda galaxy in, roughly, 5 billion years.

Why must a Veteran suffer from service connected disorders and disease, while the VA takes it's time to debate

It's all about the liability and the dollars connected to it, brother. It is a shame the way the nation allows the government to treat our veterans, our brothers in arms, our selfless soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines that sacrifice so much to keep this country free.\n\nMy best advice is to contact your Senator or Representative and get them personally involved. Let them know that you are a vet who votes, and you demand they get results for you.\n\nGood luck, bro. 15 years in and counting.

how to avoid point deduction on a speeding ticket?

Many states have a process where you can get a suspended sentence for tickets if you otherwise have a clear driving record. For example many years ago (in Newport News coincidently) I got a ticket for running a stop sign. I appeared in court and gave my side of the story. The judge suspended the fine (and therefore points) for 6 months. After 65 months with out a ticket, the ticket disappeared from my record.

What's the differerrence, if any, between a germ, bacteria and a virus?

"Germ" means "seed", and is the original term for all disease-causing organisms, back before we could even tell what they were.  The germ theory of disease was revolutionary and pretty crazy for its time.  "Little invisible animals make us sick? Suuuurrre they do."  It wasn't until much later that we figured out more about viruses and bacteria, so the term "germ" has stuck with us, and it's typically used when speaking about both together.

If you're a girl, is it wrong to brag about having casual sex?

Yes yes YES!!!!!!!!!!\n\nIs that what you want to be known for? Have respect for yourself. I am not just saying this because I am a Christian (although that is the main reason). People will label you a slut. That label will supercede anything else you do, no matter how "good". Example: Mary Magdeline. She became one of Jesus' greatest followers, but what is the first thing people think? Prostitute . . .\n\nNo one-- male nor female, should want to brag that they have casual sex.

Petition, petition, petition. Find out how many signatures will be required to get the attention of the local government. Also go the the City/County clerks office and ask who to see about making your views known. In some cases the Mayor or head of the local government may see you and see if you have any suggestions on what else could be done about it, but the more backing you have the greater your chances are of getting something out of it.


How can people type in chinese on the PC?

My girlfriend uses it. Its a simple program which she downloaded from the net.

can i get some examples of civil crimes?

Speed that we dont have here. \nAn elongated diamond light at night that turned out to have the intensity of a very bright spotlight...then dimmed again..and shot off up into the sky..with incredible speed as I had seen before with the silver disc..\nOrange glowing spheres in early evening...\nbackwards "c" shaped object in the daylight...\nthe list goes on..but..Yeah..I have seen many...Each time something does happen..it is like a new concept..it seems to keep opening the mind more and more.

PLEASE !!! I have kindergarden students and I am looking for Letters with eyes and hands?

Geez...I looked and just could not find anything that would probably help you.\n\nMaybe a hands on (no pun intended) project could help you better.  An idea is to have them make their own alphabet that you can put on your wall.  \nHave them trace their hands and make a collage or something of that source.  Of course, a collage would be to big for a wall alphabet so another idea is to take a digital snap shot of it, then hang the 8x11 print out next to the letter H. \n\nYou could probably do the same thing with eyes.  But...I don't know.\nGood luck!


whats the best pill out there to make my penis bigger?

Sorry, but there is no pill for that!!\nOn some anonymous web site, you can find miraculous pills, creams or herbal products that promise longer penis or better performances. Just leave it… false or sh*t !\nUntil nowadays, no recognized safe and sure method works and on some case, the surgery operation only gives the possibility to get longer penis. Sorry, it’s the reality!\nThen there are two external mechanic systems: the “pump” and the “extension by traction”. \nThe bump is practically useless!\nThe enlargement thro long traction produce a pull where you even can notice a real enlargement of the penis, but there are some contraindications to value with care!\nBe happy and satisfied anyway, because the sexual satisfactory isn’t measured by penis length!

Do you have a lynksys router?  Have you had problems with it?  How did you resolve your problem?

The only problem I have had with my linksys router, is that every so often it kicks my IP address, and I have to unplug it for a few minuets, then plug it in again and it works fine. I also had to move it clear away from my comcast modem because they were to close. which was causing me to lose my Ip even more often. Now it only happens once in awhile.


Natural instinct.  They are in perpetual "fix it" mode.  Read the book "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus".  It explains it very well in there.


why is it so dam hard to fine what your lookin for especially when u take your time and type everything clear?

I think you mean:\n\nWhy is it so damned hard to find what you seek, even when you take your time and type everything clearly?\n\nYou've got bad spelling, bad punctuation, bad sentence structure, no capitlization, and you obnoxiously and lazily fail to type out "you" when you mean to say "you."  Quite frankly, I doubt that you have taken time and typed anything clearly to date.\n\nTake some pride in your writing, and take some time to write clearly.  It might help to alleviate your frustration.\n\nI'd recommend the very cheap and easy to find book "Elements of Style" by Strunk and White.  It's a very good book, a quick read, and it has much to offer you.


Is what America doing in Iraq morally and justly correct ?

No way. The G.W. Bush administration is commiting a crime. And that does not end in Iraq, it continues in Guantanamo Bay and with the continuation of the death penalty against its own citizens. Only hypocrites can believe that this is morally and justly correct.


does it make a man gay if he looks at another guys privates in the locker room?

Of course not. We are all curious, especially as young people about other peoples bodies. Especially same sex. We want to compare. Its not a good idea to continue to look at other mens, or womens privates for that matter. Especially if they dont want you to. If you lust after someone of the same sex, thats where the issue is. I am a believer of the Holy Bible. And I believe that lust after any person is wrong. However it is natural to feel the temptation. There is nothing wrong with being attracted to someone. Male or female, but when we entertain sexual fantasies.... that is lust.  The bible also speaks against the act of homosexuality. All mankind was born into sin and we all feel tendencies to sin. There is nothing unusual about that. Just like we all are tempted to steal, or lie, or cheat. Taking control and drawing boundaries, and submitting to Christs lordship is the action we must take to be victorious.\n\nSome people say they are born gay. I have little argument there. The fact is we are all born prone to sin. So maybe we are all born gay in that essense. But when we acknowledge the gracious blood redemption that He offers, we can be set free. Your sin is no greater than mine. I continue to sin. I say forgive me again oh Lord, for my sin. And He says "What sin?"..... White as snow. His blood cleansed past present and future.

I believe in the value of fasting for both physical and spiritual reasons:\n\n1. Physical Benefits:  It's a way of detoxifying the body. When you stop eating for awhile (it needs to be a gradual, planned process) your body has a chance to heal itself. Unwanted toxic waste has a chance to get eliminated...when people are fasting, they usually go through some physical processes that show their body is bringing up and letting out alot of diseased, toxic junk...they often get severe headaches, and other flu-like symptoms; they sometimes smell, etc. It's important to hang in and stick with it, though, because the body is going to be so much better for it. Chronic conditions can get temporarily worse for awhile, before they get better. A person should continue to avoid eating because eating won't give the strength, it takes strength to digest and eliminate foods. Try taking vegetable broth, herbal teas, or juice only. \n\n2.Spiritual Benefits: Fasting empties a person's mind and heart, paving the way for more focus on emotional and spiritual healing. It's a great time (if you believe in God) to pray and find a closer connection with the Ultimate Healer...and people often find themselves better able to make a decision with a clear head and peace of mind after a time of fasting. It just gets our minds off the continual time-consuming process of stuffing ourselves...physically. I think, also, (just my own opinion) our self esteem becomes stronger after a period of fasting. We know that our lives are more than going from one meal to the next. It helps us to identify with others in the world, and acts as a preparation for more self-less living.


He has already been NOMINATED..\n\nThe question is should he be confirmed...\n\nI say YES...\n\nHe believes that the LAWS should be made by the congress who is is elected by the People.\n\nHe believes that the president should uphold those laws. \n\nHe believes that the laws should NOT be rendered from the Bench by judges that are appointed. \n\nThis is fully what the constitution says. Unfortunately, many people want what they want whether it is legal or not. \nThey want the judges to be able to do what ever they want whenever they want. \n\nIf you Don't like a law, vote to change it. Don't have some guy say you don't have to follow it.\n\nSo YES, he will follow the law and protect the constitution. He is what they call a strict Constructioninst.


what is answer for 2/8-2/4+5/8 and how to do it?

First you try to get all of the parts to have same denominator (which looks like 8 is what you need).\nSince the first and the last are already w/ 8, then u need to * and / the middle number with 2.\nSo you get:\n2/8-4/8+5/8\nnext you can write:\n(2-4+5)/8\nand that's 3/8\n=>\n2/8-2/4+5/8 = 2/8-4/8+5/8 = (2-4+5)/8 = 3/8

They can.  Open your mind.\n\nBut this:\n\n"According to the scientific method, unless you can disprove a theory... it stands as true."\n\nis an absolute farce.  There is so such notion in science.  If it's not a scientific theory, then it's not a scientific theory.  It means science can't say anything about it, right, wrong, or sideways.\n\nYou're confusing the legal idea of "innocent until proven guilty" with science.  Science cannot disproave any of Christianity, Hinduism, Shinto, Zoroastrianism, or Minerva worship--that doesn't mean science says they're all true.

Controlling isn't always bad.  It just means that they care enough to put their foot down and say "I love you therefore I need to know where you are going, who you will be with, and what you will be doing."  Other parents that are toooooo trusting, most of the time, really don't care.


how the heck do u getout of  writers block?

What always helps me is lay on the floor or the couch and have your favorite cd on repeat. The cd lyrics have to be descriptive or message in a bottle type.


how do u measure the amount of force needed to move a certain amount of wait?

The last poster needs to have his dynamic physics retaught, or stop trying to sound like an engineer.\n\nThe first mistake, is identifying newtons = force x distance.  This is actually a measure of work or energy and measured in joules.  The second mistake identifying force as being measured in joules.  Force is measured in Newtons.  Since it was Isaac Newton in the second law of motion that defined Force.\n\nYour question cannot really be answered without more information.  What is the direction of motion, horizontally or vertically?  \n\nVerically?  Then 150 lbs of force.  Pounds were once used to measure force.  If you want to use metric, convert the 150 lbs to kilograms, multiply by 9.8 and then you must exert at least this much force in Newtons to overcome the force of gravity.  150 lbs is 68.04 kg.\n\nHorizontally, what type of surface?  Determine the coefficient of friction, and multiply it by the mass in kilograms.  Then this is the amount of force you need to exert to overcome the force of friction.  There are two types of friction, static and dynamic.  In other words it takes more force to move an object at rest, but once the object is in motion it takes less force to keep it move (opposing the dynamic force of friction).\n\nWatts by the way is a measurement of power, which is energy derived by time, Power = dE/dt.  Joules per second.


try looking in the email headers for something like this\n\nReceived: from (dsl-201-xxx-xxx-xxx.xxx-xxx.com [201.xxx.xxx.xxx]) by smtp.xxx.net(iPlanet Messaging Server 5.2 HotFix 2.05 (built Mar  3  2005))with ESMTP id <xxxxxxxx@smtp.xxxxx.net>;\n\n Thu, 29 Dec 2005 14:18:09 -0600 (CST)\nDate: Thu, 29 Dec 2005 13:15:33 -0700\n\nas you can see the lasts lines mark the time the email was sent, and when it was received by the server
