how can i get a PHD scholarship in chemistry to one of the universities in the US?

Let me explain how the graduate system in Chemistry works in the US (for all the schools that I know of anyway).  Every year at this time of year (late December / early January) prospective graduate students apply to the Chemistry programs they are interested in.  Each Chem. program reviews the applicants and look for the candidates that look interesting.  The criteria upon which this decision is made are: 1) Course work and grades, 2) GRE scores, 3) letters of recommendation (there are also other items for foreign students, such as a TOEFL score).  The letters of recommendation typically carry the most weight, although the others are important.  If you can make the cut, and you live in the US, the schools will fly you in on a recruiting trip.  If you are foreign, then often a trip is not offered.  For the foreign students, many times a phone conversation is held.\n\nOK, so once the school decides on the students they like, they make an offer.  The offers are typically for $10-20K per year, with anywhere from 4-5 years guaranteed so long as you remain in good standing.  So basically, you can go to grad school and live poor, and not need to go into debt with loans, etc.\n\nI answered the question as I did, because 'scholarships' in graduate school are few and far between.  It is much more common to have access to scholarships for undergraduates.  Grad students are typically supported by research funding that has been awarded to a professor.

Is it possible for a straight guy and a straight girl to be platonic friends?

I know in the movie When Harry Met Sally the whole theme is that men and women can't be friends.  I think it's something everyone thinks deep down because men seem to be way more interested in sex than in meaningful friendships.  I don't believe this.\n\nYes, a friendship can blossom into something much more, but it's also quite possible for men and women to just be friends.  I have had several male friends, and while at some point they'll admit they've considered me for dating, they enjoy just being my friend. If you have enough in common and  don't flirt (and give eachother the wrong impression) it should work out fine!\n\nYou just need to know the boundaries and the difference between friend and lover.

Explain the difference between baryons, hadronsbosons and fermions.?

Some of these overlap.\n\nSorting by Weight:\n-------------------\n\n1. Baryons: heavy particles. They are always fermions, so have half integral spin. (protons and neutrons are baryons)\n\n2. Muons: medium weight particles (intermediate weight between lepton and baryons, such as muons, kaons, pions, etc)\n\n3. Leptons, light particles (neutrinos and electrons are leptons)\n\n\nSorting by Spin\n----------------\n\n1. Bosons: having integral spin and satisfying Bose-Einstein  statistics (helium-4 atoms and photons for example)\n\n2. fermions: having half integral spin and satisfying Fermi-Dirac statistics (electrons, protons, etc)\n\n\nCharacterization by Force Influence\n------------------------------------\n\nHadrons: subject to the strong force (protons and  neutrons for example). These are of two types: the baryons and the mesons (intermediate weight between lepton and baryons, such as muons, kaons, pions, etc)\n\n\n\nOf course, there is  HUGE amount of other information about these.

If you spin a laser light fast enough, will the photons react to the centrifical forces like matter does?

A laser beam looks like a stationary beam of light, but it is not.  It is a continuous stream of photons emitting from the laser.  After they leave the laser, they continue traveling on the same straight line they were on at the moment they left the laser.  It doesn't matter how the laser moves after that, because there is no force connecting the photons back to the laser.


The product of 2 whole numbers is 90.  1 number is 2.5 times as great as the other.  What are the 2 numbers?

Let one number be x.\nSince their product is 90, the other no. will be 90/x.\none number is 2.5 times great as the other\n2.5 * x = 90/x\nx*x = 90/2.5 = 90/(5/2) = 90 * 2/5 = 18 * 2 = 36\nx^2 = 36\nx = ±6, ie x=+6 or x=-6\nBut -6 is not a whole number. Therefore x = 6\nThe other no = 90/6 = 15\n\nTHEREFORE, THE 2 NUMBERS ARE 15 AND 6


In your opinion, what's better: Private K-12 schools or Elementary ,Middle,and High Schools?

School sucks in general.  Teenagers shouldn't be forced to live at the mercy of other teenagers.  College, on the other hand, is great.  Once you get rid of the people who don't want to be there and give the student full control of their academic career, everything gets good.

Can men be just friends with women that they are attractive too?

I live with two incredibly gorgeous and endearing women, and not to toot my own horn, but I'm a fairly attractive guy.  We've been friends for the better part of ten years.

how to earn money online but please dont give commercial references?

Please ignore all the disgusting websites under this post.\n\n\nThe best ways to make money online are:\n\nMerchant accounts: Buy in bulk from retailers or bargains in your local area and sell online for more. Some places get over stocked with books they cant sell or movies and decide to sell them very cheap. Many people check the book numbers on a cell phone with a friend in places like half price books to get a good sale. Its very common to find university books at such places in good condition that can be sold for double online.\n\n\nPay per click Programs:\nIf you can successfully setup an active website or blog that gets many hits signup to pay per click programs. See: http://www.jimmyr.com/Make_Money_With_Google_Adsense.php\nDynamically made sites are best, such as forums, because people post there and you dont really need to add content, people add it for you. The more they post the more pages are made with your ads and the more likely the pages will be found by some arbitrary keyword in a search engine.\n\n\nDon't listen to any pyramid scam websites, sites that ask you to fill out forms, or basically anything that charges you initial membersip.

Have any of you emigrated to Europe from the US? How was the adaptation?

I emigrated from Europe to the U.S. but I lived with an American for a couple of years in the Netherlands, so I know a little bit about the adjustments you gotta make. It really depends on your personality. Do you speak another language besides English? If not, I would recommend England or any of the other isles around it. It'll be very difficult to find a job in a country that has another mother-language than English (which isn't to say that it isn't possible, it'll just be difficult). Culture and all are definitely different in Europe and they are completely different from country to country, so it's very difficult to generalize. \n\nI would recommend taking a vacation over there and checking out a few countries that you're interested in. That way you can also make contacts with folks and possible line up a job. It'll be an experience no matter what.

Real Estate Investing: Best place to buy cashflow neutral or better properties in the US?

My experience in Houston was that it was not hard to find break-even or better properties there. Prices there have not been appreciating much. There are still plenty of single family homes under 100K. Houston is expected to double in population within the next decade. Developers are building on the outskirts and the city is rapidly expanding. New home prices are from the $130K on up. High prices in the city for SFRs are in the millions so there is a wide range. I think Houston is a counter-cycle city, that will be appreciating when the bubble breaks in the current hot markets. The only negatives I can give you for Houston are that the apartment vacancy rates are around 8%, but that is probably down considerably since Katrina. With no city zoning they rely on homeowners associations to control property use; sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't. There are no limits on real estate tax increases so this can also be a factor.

How is biology siginficant in your daily life?

That is a very cool question. Biology is the study of life. Not just squids and kangaroos but you and the foods you eat.\n\nHey I love food, and air and water, without them none of us would be here! They are essential.\n\nBiology helps us understand where our essentials come from. For instance, a small change in an ecosystem could radically effect farmer's ability to grow plants and raise animals we depend on to live. In the 1930's the Dustbowl wiped out farms across a wide area!\n\nAlso many plants and animals produce complex chemicals which we use in everyday medicine. Aspirin for instance is derived from the willow tree. Antibiotics like Penicillin were discovered in spores of mold.


If you want to join the military just to relax in some "safe-haven" area, then don't waste your time. All military personnel are subject to being in a war.

Do NOT re-enlist...get the hell out...military don't want you anyway with this attitude...also, learn to spell...


Was the Confedrate States of America right to sucede from the US?

It was well with in their rights to leave, the North kept making the South feel more isolated with the Missouri Comprimise.  It just came to the point that the States believed that they didn't have a choice.  \n\nWould I have voted for succession then no, but what I know about how strong the National Government became after the Civil War, a person has got to wonder what would have happened if the South would have won\n\nMost historians disaggree that slavery was the cause of the war.  Especially if you factor in that the underground railroad had to go all the way up to Canada (If the North really cared about slavery it would have ended at the Mason-Dixon Line) and the Draft riots in New York.\n\nThe Civil War never became about slavery until the Emansipation Prclamation.


In Germany,the post of the president of nation is called as a Chanceler.What is the meaning of Chanceller?

Chancellor (Latin: cancellarius), an official title used by most of the peoples whose civilization has arisen directly or indirectly out of the Roman empire. At different times and in different countries it has stood and stands for very various duties, and has been, and is, borne by officers of various degrees of dignity. The original chancellors were the Cancellarii of Roman courts of justice- ushers who sat at the cancelli or lattice work screens of a basilica or law court, which separated the judge and counsel from the audience. A Chancellor's office is called a chancellery or chancery.\n\nAs in Austria, the Chancellor of Germany or Bundeskanzler (meaning Federal Chancellor), is the title for the head of government in Germany. Bundeskanzlerin is the female form. In German politics the Bundeskanzler position is somewhat equivalent to that of a Prime Minister, and is elected by the Bundestag, the German Parliament, every 4 years.\n\nAfter the unification of Germany, in 1871, the Chancellor of the Reich or Reichskanzler (meaning Imperial Chancellor), served not only as head of government, but also as presiding officer of the Bundesrat, the upper house of the German imperial parliament. After the abdication of Kaiser Wilhelm II in 1918, the German chancellor no longer presided over the upper house of parliament, but was head of the republic's government.\n\nAdolf Hitler was appointed Chancellor in 1933 by president Hindenburg. The 23th of March 1933, after the Reichstag fire, the parliament passed the Enablement Act, which gave Hitler legal rights to pass any law without approval or consultance of the parliament: he was made a legal dictator. He combined the chancelor's office with that of the President and called himself Führer und Reichskanzler (meaning Leader and Imperial Chancellor), after President Hindenburg's death in 1934.

Roger Federer Vs. Sampras/McEnroe/Borg (anyone) Etc.  - who wins?

Federer would win against all of these players. His return and passing shots are sufficiently strong to break Sampras and McEnroe. Borg vs. Federer would be interesting, with Borg's speed and topspin shots. However, Federer's pace and angles give him an edge. \nFederer truly has it all--strong serve (though not overpowering), fabulous topspin groundstrokes, excellent slice, solid volleys, the best footwork I've ever seen, and the ability to change strategies to cope with any opponent. The ONLY things mildly lacking to date is his fitness level (capitalized on by Nadal) and his willingness to be ruthless in closing out a match. For example, when Baghdatis was cramping in the fourth set of the Australian, instead of keeping his intensity and rolling through the set, Federer eased up and coasted.\nAll of this must be qualified by the surface. Sampras, Becker, Borg, and McEnroe all might win on grass. On clay, Federer beats these but could be beaten on a given day by any number of clay court specialists. I'll make it easy, though--if Federer played any other player in history one match on each of the four surfaces, he clearly should win at least three of four.\nIf Federer is on his game I would pick him against anyone else.

You will aksed for when others request to view your webcam, and you have to say yes to that. \n\nFor your mic, it could be due to you pluging it into a wrong port on your computer. Makr sure you are inserting it into the correct port, you can mostly identify ports using color on the port and the color on the mic cable.


School bullies are terrorists! Why doesn't the education system do something about them????

The answers to your question is very uncomfortable, because it casts this culture (and others that tolerate it) in a very bad light.\n\n1. For one, I hate to say it but in some ways bullying is seen as socially acceptable. If you listen to some adults (especially those whose children are accused of being bullies), they will say things like "Bullying is good, because it teaches the weak how to defend themselves." Or they'll say that bullying teaches good *social skills*, because it prepares children for the Real World, which is harsh and cruel. In other words, what I'm saying is that the educational system in some way condones this type of behavior, since many people in some ways hold these beliefs (even teachers and faculty).\n\n2. Adults continue to insist that bullying is a cute, harmless activity amongst children. You know the old saw-- "kids will be kids." So when they see bullying, they don't see harrassment, torture, stalking, cruelty and torment. They see boys displaying their *crushes* on girls; they see *roughhousing.* They see friendly teasing. It's like adults still live in this time warp where all boys are doing are dipping girls' pigtails into inkwells, and all girls are doing are sticking their tongues out at each other. Since adults form the educational system, they literally turn a blind eye to it all and pretend that it's simply harmless teasing.\n\n3. Many bullies are such master manipulators, that they are able to convince teachers and administrators that they are the nicest kids on the planet.\n\n4. Adults feel that bullying is a *natural phase* of childhood. So why do anything about it?\n\n5. Lastly, when bullying happens, the school faculty takes this stance that it's none of its business if children are harassed. It's job is to merely just *teach.* Anything else that happens under their nose is the child's problem. As a result, nothing is done about it.\n\nSad to say, but it's true.

is it true that sweetcorm has no nutritional value and just passes through the body?

No.\n\nLike most seeds it contains carbohydrate, protein and fat (oils). There are many minerals and some vitamins (though you would not select sweetcorn as a source of vitamins).\n\nThis is only to be expected since seeds must contain everything (except water) that an embryonic plant requires until it can grow above ground and then photosynthesise.\n\nAdditionally, the seed coat of many seeds is fairly undigestible and therefore provides dietary fibre (roughage). This is the only bit that does not provide nutrients, yet it is important in our diet.


What causes everything to look green before a tornado?

I grew up in an area where we had a lot of tornadoes. I have seen this and it does happen, however, it doesn't always happen, and sometimes a thunderstorm will have greenish clouds and no tornado. I think it is related to the way the light is filtered through the clouds, and perhaps the really big clouds that come with tornadoes may have more of this effect. There is a good article at the link below:

It appears that the question period has expired. If you have received an answer that meets your needs, please choose a 'best answer.'\nRegards.


It depends. If you are happy and know that the people around you really do care about you then yea! But if your only popular because of your clothes or new bike or w/e then probably not because then you are only doing it for the attention and you wouldn't really be happy!


i am going to hawaii soon...and i need to loose some wight to fit in a bikini better...any ideas anyone?

My advice- Buy a bigger bikini!  A  Vacation should be fun, don't torture yourself! Losing weight fast is never a safe option, instead- be happy with how you look now, and enjoy your time there!


Because it's free, been on for...eight years?  It's helping me fritter my life away on yahoo answers, i would recomend YAHOO!!!


I updated my yahoo account info with my married name but when I send emails my maiden name shows up as sender.

Goto Yahoo Mail. There you have a "Options" link, somewhere on the top right section.Click, and look for "General Preferences" (should be in the middle column), Inside that, in the top box, is your "Outgoing name" - the name that shows up as sender.\nUpdate that, and you are all set.

Is it true that a person's sexual perference is inherited through DNA?

It's a good question, and I'm glad you asked it. Technically, I agree with your other answerer (bear)- I don't think it should matter, because we are who we are, whatever the cause may be.\n\nNo one really knows what causes sexual orientation. Scientists used to think that there was some sort of "gay gene", which may or may not be inheritable. Now they are thinking it may have more to do with the male or female hormones that people are exposed to before they are born. There seem to be some differences in people's brains that could be caused by that. \n\nI tend to think there is probably more than one thing going into causing sexual preference... that's just me. Other than knowing that I was born bisexual and didn't choose it somehow, I don't really think about it much. But I like that you put heterosexuality in your question as well as being gay and lesbian. Many people ask what causes homosexuality, which prompts me to ask them the question, what causes heterosexuality? But you seem to know what whatever causes one causes the other, which is good. The important thing is to keep in mind that both of them are equally normal, whatever they may be caused by.

what is the difference between insurance and assurance?

Insurance, in law and economics, is a form of risk management primarily used to hedge against the risk of potential financial loss. Ideally, insurance is defined as the equitable transfer of the risk of a potential loss, from one entity to another, in exchange for a reasonable fee.\nAssurance is an evaluation method that uses a specified set of principles and standards to assess the quality on an organization's reporting of its performance and its underlying systems, processes and competencies that underpin its performance.

What time should a 19 year-old female go to sleep? What time should I wake up?

I don't remember if I slept that year at all.  19 is a great age.\n\nWhy don't  you go to bed when you're tired, and wake up when you need to in order to get to where you are going that day, and of course, have time to get ready to go there too.\n\nIf, throughout the day, you find that you're too tired, try to go to bed earlier that night.

I'm not a Christian, but I can answer your question. Act like a human, Christian or not. Deal with people, especially people who don't agree with you with as much respect as you can. SOmetimes it's harder than others.  Be as pleasant as possible, and, if it gets too hard, try to just walk away.


I filed charges against my wife for id theft, she says she has friends in town, what do i do if da doesnt char

If the local District Attorney doesn't file charges, talk with the Federal Prosecutor or US Attorney in your area, even the FBI, if necessary. Under Title 18 U.S.C. 1644, Fraudulant Use of Credit Cards, Title 18 U.S.C. 1037, Fraud and releated activity in connection with electronic email and Title 18 U.S.C. 2510, et. seq., Wire and electroinc communications interception and interception of oral communications. \n\nI suggest that you request an appointment with the DA, him or herself. If the DA's office refuses to prosecute, speak with the State Attorney General's Office. \n\nPrior to turning any evidence over to the DA's office, make copies for yourself. Never give them the originals. Also you may want to contact the Judge that sentenced her and explain the situation with regards to the DA's office. \n\nRemember that the District Attorney is an elected official and can be cited for misconduct and even a recall election for derliction of duty, maybe even conspiracy. If the Federal authorities or even the State and Local are already aware of this, keep after them unitl they act on this. \n\nMake sure that you have closed the account that was accessed imnmediately and notify the bank of the breach of security.\n\nAnyway, Good Luck!


Where is the best place online to start buying stocks with little money?

I use Ameritrade and started with $1500.  First you need to send them a check or do an electronic transfer.  Then do some research.  Ameritrade has research features, and Yahoo Finance has free research.  Do a lot of reading and good luck!


Is there an  American Retirement Community in Mexico?

there are quite a number of communites in Mexico where people from the United States and Canada have retired. Among the more popular places are the following:\nLake Chapala near Guadalajara, San Migual de Allende, and Puerto Vallarta.\n\nThese three locations each have large populations of English speakers. However, be aware that it is likely that the current mayor of Mexico City is likely to be elected the next president of Mexico. He is considered to be very left leaning. Also be aware that in the past Mexico has frozen bank deposits and devalued drastically the peso.


Choose your lesser of two evils (GOP or Dems)...?

i acutally voted for ralph nader the past 2 elections.  i feel that ralph had no chance but that he was the best candidate b/c he was not influenced by outsiders.  since the 3rd party usually has no chance one could argue i threw my vote away.  that is a really good question.  if i had to pick between the dems and the gops i'd go with the dems while i'm young and poor and then the gops if i ever become old and rich.

In a corporation, what's the difference between a president, a secretarty, a CEO, and an owner?

It depends on the corporation.  The CEO is typically above the President of an organization, usually works with the Board of Directors.  A secretary is typically very far down an organizationla list, and aides the white and blue collar workers in their tasks.  (some firms use the term Secretary instead of Vice President, but this is rare).  For a corporation, the owner is not a single person, but several people.  When you hear about a person having stock in a company, that person essentially 'owns' a piece of the company.  So the owners are a primary source of financing for the corporation because they supply the money (through stocks), but owners have actually very little to do with the day-to-day operations of the firm.


how far away from earth is the nearest galaxy?

The above answer cannot be wholly true because two things cannot be colliding when they are thousands of light years apart! The correct idea would be that the galaxy is gradually being pulled apart by the gravitational pull of our galaxy. The nearest galaxy to the sun (which is equivalent to the average distance from the earth because it orbits the sun) is the Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy, which is 25,000 light years from the sun.

Why was World War I called the Great war?

We only call it World War 1 now, in retrospect.  If there had not been a World War 2, it would have made no sense to call an earlier war WW1.  Just think of video games, is there ever a game called "Something 1"?  No, because they can never be sure that there will be a second one.  We may call the first Sims "Sims 1" but only now, after Sims 2 has been released.  An exception to this is Kill Bill, in which the movie was originally intended to have multiple parts.\n\nSo WW1 was "The Great War" because it was supposed to be "The war to end all wars," they didn't think another one would ever happen.  But it did, as we know now.  \n\nOn a side note, some historians believe that the Napoleonic war was the true WW1, which would make what we call WW1 into WW2, and Hitler's war would be WW3, but really... it's just names.


What do you say to people that wont leave you alone?

Hang out with different people, ones who you want to be with. If they still bug you, just ignore them. They just want to push your buttons and get you to jump on them, getting you in trouble. I know it's hard ignoring people who constantly get in your face, but the alternative is to get in trouble by physically getting their face gone. If they won't leave you alone, after asking them nicely, maybe ask them why they're bugging you. Most times, you'll get some lame excuse, like because they like it, or because I want to. Those kinds of excuses tell you they're just trying to make you mad and get a reaction. After that, don't react to them, no matter how bad it gets. Try to always surround yourself with positive people, keeping your goals in focus. Don't lose your stride to a bunch of posers. Their own lives are miserable, so they want to bring you down past their level of mediocrity. Rise above it. Don't give in to their taunts. I had years of this kind of experience in grade school, the worst being in middle school. Something happens to some kids when they get in middle school. It's like they left their brains somewhere else and living the life of a moron. It will get better, in time. Though it seems hard right now, just keep your focus. <*)))><

Pebble bed reactors are going to revolutionize the nuclear power industry. These reactors are being pursued by the Chinese, with the goal of building a small enough reactor that it can be mass produced, safe to operate without highly skilled operators, and cheap enough to build that every city can have one, maybe even every large industrial facility.  MIT is also working on designing pebble bed reactors. There are efforts in South Africa as well. \n\nThe pebbles in the reactor are spheres about the size of a tennis ball and are fuel and graphite. Within each sphere there are 'particles' of fuel coated with a special coating of silicon carbide. No gas or metallic radiocative products can escape the silicon carbide coating. As the spheres are spent, they are dropped from the bottom of the reactor and either sent to spent fuel storage or recycled into the reactor. The silicon carbide coating is believed to be capable of lasting one million years, which is longer than the activity of plutonium. \n\nI also beleive that we will solve the radioactive waste disposal problem eventually. Radioactivity heats this planet, and deep disposal wells would allow the return of radioactive materials to a part of the earth's deep crust where the radioactivity would not be dangerous. DOE is looking at several alternatives.  \nhttp://www.ocrwm.doe.gov/factsheets/doeymp0017.shtml\n\nWhile I myself am a consumer of wind and solar energy, I believe that oil has peaked, and will become a scarce resource during the next half-century. Coal is not a solution because the mining process is destructive to the environment. The only energy source capable of making large amounts of energy without causing climate problems is nuclear energy. If I were a teenager again, I would probably  major in nuclear engineering, as I expect it to be a growing job field.

802.11g 125 high speed network - Broadcom/Gateway doesn't reach 125?

Don't forget, wireless is a shared medium.  Like a hub.  If you're running two clients full speed to a single access point, each can only use half the rated bandwidth.\n\nAnd just having a second host turned on could be throwing out packets (NetBIOS discovery, virus updates, any amount of chatty traffic spewing out of the modern laptop) that are slowing down the other device.\n\nAlso note that because 125 isn't a part of the real spec, any number of oddball things could be happening behind the scenes.

An n=1 transition will product the longest wavelength because it is the lowest energy transition.  Higher energy jumps produce higher energy photons which correspond to a shorter wavelength.


How far away are we from developing cars that run on on micro-nuclear power?

Ford produced the concept Ford Nucleon, but a nuclear car is unlikely to ever exist. Selling nuclear material to the public in quantities larger than a smoke detector isn't exactly safe, they could be used by terrorists to create a dirty bomb, you'd have to evacuate an area for a million years every time there was a car crash, and the weight of the shielding would be just a bit of a problem.


How do people steal and live with themselves?

There are two questions you ask.\n1.) --Conciousness is strong feeling (nature of which, by the way is impossible to describe from atheistic perspective) which hardly gives you a break. Therefore it is hard to live if you steal. However, if someone repeats crime over and over again his conciouseness get used to it more and more so he/she lives pretty good with stealing.\n-- Also, (it is not excuse though), people can steal for a different purposes... self-preservation most powerful probably...\n2)-- Second question I don't uderstand. I guess what you mean is people are "EVIL" because they use-up "mother nature"??? So I don't think I get what you ask...clearly.\n-- Anyways considereing human as parasites may lead to serious mental consequencess (...watch out) :D :D (I say this because there are movement to preserve "mother Earth" from "evil" human. Don't get into it please! )\n-- Assuming you're right is only takes specific ideological framework. So how you view human kind and its relationship to Earth is just biproduct of your worldview, which reflects your understanding of human existance. So do not jump into conclusions before you invvestigate "BIG" questions first. (Philosophy 101 recomended). :D :D

Which is more important, school, your social life, or your family?

They are all important hmmm I would have to say Family and School are most important.  speaking from years of experience and being able to look back.  \n\nSocial life is nice. It is for the moment though.  Family is for your life.  So if you don't put importance on it now - it will affect how things are in the future.  The same thing goes for School - if you don't put the time in and try to do well - in the future you will probably regret it.  \n\nFriends will come and go - good ones will STAY.  So you will have the time for the social life when that time is right.  Don't screw up your family relationships and your future by putting your social life first.


How do I write a narrative compostition on  " Every Cloud has a silver lining" or "Once bitten twice shy?"

Every cloud could be a tale of a man compounded with bad luck and cliched advice, a man who's world is falling apart but who's only help and advice comes from comments such as Every cloud has a silver lining/ cheer up it might never happen/ things can only get better etc. The man could then go out in search of the silver lining and possibly find it as insubstantial as the cliche, and resign himself to the fact that the world is what the world is and words of advice are only a means to stop people complaining.   - Just a thought.

There, type in the band's name (or the album sometimes works) and brows through the profiles until you get the music.

You need to let this friendship go. Most likely she's going to do it again, but this time it'll be worst. Trust me. She'll loose your trust. People change as they grow older, and it's not always for the better. At least you've realized she's not the person you thought she was and if you continue to be her best friend then you're putting yourself in a situation where you'll probably get hurt in the end. Move on.

Is a severance check from a company that you've retired from the same as an IRA payment?

I had a partner retire from SBC a few years back, so I think I know what you are talking about.\n\nYou need to investigate what TYPE of income this was. "Severance" is taxed as WAGES. It is reported on your W2 and taxes are withheld at the source.\n\nYou might have taken a "lump sum" payment from your pension fund. This would be taxed as PENSIONS, and reported on Form 1099-R, with taxes possibly withheld at the source.\n\nI would suggest that you seek the assistance of a tax professional to help you sort out this matter.\n\nWilliam Perez\ntaxes.about.com

How difficult is it to tell what key a person sings in just by listening to them?

I'm not sure how seriously I would take the answer listed above - "perfect pitch" is extremely rare, and considered one of the foremost attributes for modern musicians - at least the prolific ones.  \n\nOne can tell whether or not one is "on pitch" meaning whether or not a voice or instrument is sharp or flat during performance, however, the ability to tell the specific key is rather difficult, and without "perfect pitch" or an extreme level of training, wouldn't be something that the average person would be able to accurately say.\n\nall this being said, I suggest you find out more about this:\n\nhttp://www.atarimagazines.com/creative/v10n3/211_The_pitch_test.php\n\n(I took it when I was very young.

JUST REMEMBER THAT EVERYTHING IN LIFE HAPPENS FOR A REASON.  WHEN THINGS HAPPEN,TAKE A MINUTE TO EXAMINE YOUR LIFE AND TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHY THEY ARE HAPPENING.

The life of the spirit as opposed to that of the mind or body-it is the impetus behind religious ideals. \nAs for what true religion is the Bible says this: "...the fast (religious practice) I have chosen is to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that you break every yoke...to deal your bread to the hungry, and that you bring the poor that are cast out to your house...when you see the naked, that you cover him....Then shall your light break forth as the morning, and your health shall spring forth speedily: and your righteousness shall go before you: the glory of the LORD shall be your rereward....And the LORD shall guide you continually, and satisfy your soul..."

are there laws about drug testing members of non-profit, membership based organizations?

I believe alot of the civil liberty unions are jumping on the bandwagon about the issue of drug testing. As for a law in any organization, I would guess it might depend on the organization involved if they want to do this and then it was more than likely written in the by laws of the organization that you joined or are considering joining.\n  I don't know if anyone is immune from drug testing anywhere anymore. I think if you are taking certain drugs for medical reasons (like a few that I take daily) there is a clause I had to sign that they could request a test for illegal drugs in my system if they suspected it. It sucks but in some ways it is understandable. In others it is nothing but an obvious violation of your privacy..

is there any data about how long after one spouse dies then remaining spouse dies, by age?

When a couple has been together for a really long time, lets say 40-50 years+ and they had a happy marriage and then one of the spouse passes away, and the other spouse doesn't get over their grieving,or they lose hope, or they don't have any determination to go on living, their can body shut down and they can end up getting sick or die from a "broken heart".They can die within days,weeks,or a couple of years. Because people need love like they need food and water. Just like babies. If they are not held or nurtured, they can die or they get sick or their body delays growth. But anyway, if you are brave enough you can go down to the cemetary and you can look at the headstones of couples and the calculate how far apart they died.

When the Bible says that God created the rainbow you need to remember that up until the flood, no one ever saw a rainbow because it never rained on the earth until afterward. (The earth was watered by underground springs) God knew that rain was going to cause a refraction of the sunlight, so He "established" it as a reminder that He would never again destroy the earth by flood. It may be that at that time, God created the refraction process at the time of the flood. We have never seen or met God. It may just be that when God creates something, the scientific physics are created as well.

What animal is the Cheshire cat in "Alice in Wonderland" based on?

There are reports that Carroll found inspiration for the Cheshire Cat in a carving in a church in the village of Croft-on-Tees, in the north east of England, where his father had been rector. Another view is the cat is based on a gargoyle found on a pillar in St Nicholas Church Cranleigh, where Carroll used to travel frequently when he lived in Guildford. The cat is named after Carroll's home county, Cheshire. Others attribute it to a carving on the west face of the tower at St. Wilfrid's Church, Grappenhall, Cheshire.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheshire_cat

How the world think about india and indians?

I love them! I think the Indians are generally peaceful, very thoughtful people. You have a rich philosophical and religious system, I've never met a bad Indian, and I don't think I will. \n\nI can imagine you're asking because of America's view against all people with brown skin, however I've never seen the point in blaming Indians. I don't generalize to an entire group of people to begin with, but I think it's silly to think that Indians are really capable of anything so hateful. I mean, come on, did Mahatma Gandhi teach us all nothing? \n\nI hope to visit India one day, I think I'd really enjoy it there.

im looking for a diet that i dont have to starve my self and like doing and eating can you help?

Here's some good news:you don't have to starve yourself to lose weight. It's all about changing your eating habits, not dieting. The first thing you need to remember is you don't have to necessarily give up the foods that you love. Moderation is the key. It's okay to eat bread. It's the biggest category on the food pyramid. You just need to eat whole grains instead. Brown rice instead of white rice, wheat bread instead of white, whole wheat muffins instead of sugary ccokies, pies, and cakes. Next and equally as important, water is your best friend. You should be consuming 64 oz(1 gallon)or more EVERY day. It sounds hard (and it really is)but doing it will really help flush the toxins out of your body. Third, remember to eat lots of fiber and protein. Going #2 EVERY day is super important. You should be going at least once a day but twice is preferable. The reason that most people get sick so easily is they are literally full of sh*t. Fecal matter is a breeding ground for bacteria and the longer it stays in your colon, the more harm it does. (I'm sorry if that's gross)Add more beans and leafy greens to your diet.That'll pretty much help with that. Lastly,sweets and fatty foods are not your friend. I know most women don't like to let go of the comfort foods like chocolate, ice cream, and cheesecake(that's my personal vice)but they don't help you reach your goal. It's important to remember one thing though: if you crave it, eat it. It's ok to indulge once and awhile (that means very little).If you've been good for 2 weeks and haven't had any sweets and want a chocolate bar, go ahead and eat one. If you don't reward yourself when you get the urge, it's likely that you'll overdo it when you finally decide you can't take it anymore. \n\nOne thing that helps also is portion size. You should eat a healthy balanced breakfast. I like to start the day with eggs, toast, a high-fiber cereal, and fruit. It's ok to eat a big breakfast. You've not eaten for 8 hours before and your body needs to be replenished. Lunch is usually something protein packed, like tuna or salmon and salad w/almonds. Then dinner is smaller: grilled chicken breast or baked fish and brown rice and some steamed veggie. I also have healthy snack during the day if I'm hungry like yogurt or fruit. Don't starve yourself, just be mindful of what you're eating. \n\nAnd I'm sure it goes without saying but exercise is very important. Some sort of cardio will help get your heart in good condition and the more you work out and stick with it, the more you'll grow to enjoy it.

Kamasutram, generally known to the Western world as Kama Sutra, is an ancient Hindu text on human sexual behavior, widely considered to be the standard work on love in Sanskrit literature. The text was composed by Vatsyayana, (pronounced Vaats-yaa-yun), as a brief summary of various earlier works belonging to a tradition known generically as Kama Shastra, the science of love. Kama is literally desire. Sutra signfies a thread, or discourse threaded on a series of aphorisms. Sutra was a standard term for a technical text, thus also the Yogasutram of Patanjali. The text is originally known as Vatsyayana Kamasutram ("Vatsyayana's Aphorisms on Love"). Tradition holds that the author was a celibate scholar. He is believed to have lived sometime between the 1st to 6th centuries AD, probably during the great cultural flowering of the Gupta period.\n\nOH ...

Is it posible by using electromagnetic fields to make something invisible?

I hope you don't take this to be something of a cop-out answer. Light is itself an electromagnetic field that is carrying energy through space -- commonly called an electromagnetic wave or 'light'. It is this wave that really makes things visible.\n\nConversely, if you have no electromagnetic wave or one of an invisible wavelength, (at least to the human eye) then it won't bounce off of the object or if it does it won't be visible when it reaches you.\n\nThe visible properties of an object are determined by how EM waves interact with the electrons near the surface of an object. These interactions are what make shiny things shiny (for instance).


Rhodes Scholarships provide two or three years of study at Oxford. The Rhodes Scholarships, oldest of the international study awards available to American students, were created in 1902 by the Will of Cecil Rhodes, British philanthropist and colonial pioneer. The first class of American Rhodes Scholars entered Oxford in 1904.\n\nRhodes Scholars are chosen in a three-stage process. First, candidates must be endorsed by their college or university. Committees of Selection in each of the fifty states then nominate candidates who are interviewed by District Selection Committees in eight regions of the United States. \n\nApplicants are chosen on the basis of the criteria set down in the Will of Cecil Rhodes. These criteria are high academic achievement, integrity of character, a spirit of unselfishness, respect for others, potential for leadership, and physical vigor. These basic characteristics are directed at fulfilling Mr. Rhodes's hopes that the Rhodes Scholars would make an effective and positive contribution throughout the world. \n\nCandidates may apply either in the state where they are legally resident or where they have attended college for at least two years.  \n\nScholars are selected from Australia, Bangladesh, Bermuda, Canada, the nations of the Commonwealth Caribbean, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Jamaica, Kenya, Malaysia, New Zealand, Pakistan, Singapore, Southern Africa (South Africa, plus Botswana, Lesoto, Malawi, Namibia and Swaziland), Uganda, Zimbabwe, United States and Zambia. Approximately 95 Scholars are selected worldwide each year.\n\nSince 1976, women have been eligible to apply and 356 American women have now won the much-coveted scholarship. More than 1,800 American Rhodes Scholars are living in all parts of the U. S. and abroad. \n\nThe value of the Rhodes Scholarship varies depending on the academic field, the degree (B.A., master's, doctoral), and the Oxford college chosen. The Rhodes Trust pays all college and university fees, provides a stipend to cover necessary expenses while in residence in Oxford as well as during vacations, and transportation to and from England. The total value averages approximately US$35,000 per year.


Do you know your heritage? italian?jewish?spanish?indian?other?

Your question makes it sound as though one can be EITHER Jewish OR Italian, Jewish OR Spanish, Jewish OR Indian. That is simply not true. One can be of any nation and/or race, and still be a Jew. There are Asian Jews, Caucasian Jews, African-American Jews and even just African Jews, and there are Hispanic Jews, and Jewish citizens of every nation on earth.\n\nMy heritage is Russian and Jewish, actually Ukranian and Jewish.\n\nAnd, since you asked, i Love Judaism and being a Jew!

Action means movement. Whole world is in Action. There are both voluntary action and non voluntary action. Voluntary action is when some person's mind is behind that action. Involuntary action is one which currently no one is really in control of. Like planets revolving, natural happenings etc.\n\nBtw, All Actions are some what like chain reation. One action build upon another to create a action chain. Only thing that we have control is our voluntary actions and by controling it we can make our little effort in changing the action chain. That is why your (voluntary) action is very important. Another thing is voluntary action can effect non volunatary action. For example, if you jump from a building it is voluntary action, what follows are involuntary.\n\nStuding is also an action, since you are making changes in your brain to store more information. Though it is only microscopic changes that happens in your brain.

Does Saw Palmetto really work on hair loss?

It has been suggested that Saw Palmetto may block some effects of testosterone and therefore reduce male pattern hair loss, similar to the medication finasteride (Propecia®). So far there is not enough scientific evidence to support the claim. \n\nFor alternative natural treatments, massage and aromatherapy have been used with some success. In minor cases of temporary hair loss, hair growth can be stimulated by massage, since blood and oxygen flow to the scalp must be healthy in order for hair to grow.


What is the best humidifier for a child's room?

The one by Vicks.  Assuming you meant a vaporizer.\nIt uses steam, and the only downfall to this is possible burning if a child gets too close to the steam outlet.\n\nVaporizers that 'nebulize', also send particles into the air that appears as a white/grey "dust" on your furniture after a while.  Your child is breathing that dust in as well.  That's why I turned to steam, as it is pure and near if not completely sterile when emitted from the unit.\n\nHumidifiers are a whole different ballgame.  If you Truly meant HUMIDIFIERS, then add that to your detail in the question, and you will get different answers.


If a tree falls in the forest, and there is no one there, does it make a sound?

First, add-up the number of units that you have completed.\n\nNext, using the grade scale, for each class, take the grade and change it to the points scale and multiply it by how many units you have taken for that class only.  Do it for all your classes.\n\nAdd the total number of grade points together from all your classes and divide it by the number of units you have completed, and that's your GPA.\n\nExample, I have taken two classes, each class has three units.\nEnglish 123: B+\nMath 456: A\n\nAdd the number of units taken: 6\nFor ENG 123, a B+ is 3.3, multiply by number of units of class: 3.3 x 3 = 9.9\n\nFor Math 456, an A is 4.0, multiply by number of units of class: 4.0 x 3 = 12.0\n\nAdd grade points: 9.9 + 12.0 = 21.9\nDivide by number of units: 21.9 divided by 6 = 3.65\n\nYour GPA would be 3.65.

what NASCAR driver went drag racing briefly and had a crash which killed a spectator?

Richard Petty in 1965 breifly entered drag racing, driving a Plymouth Barracuda with a 426 Hemi engine after NASCAR banned that engine from its stock car races following the 1964 season.\n\nOn February 28, 1965 driving a Barracuda called "Outlawed," in a match race with Arnie Beswick, the Barracuda experienced transmission problems off the line. As Petty tried to find second gear, the car started to get loose. When Petty finally got it into second gear the car suddenly broke loose, turned towards the spectator area, and hit the embankment. The Petty Blue Barracuda vaulted the embankment, and went into the crowd. Seven people were injured; the eighth victim, 8 year old Wayne Dye of Austell, Georgia died of his injuries before reaching the hospital.

When is it time to walk away from a relationship were one is honest and kind and the partner is using drugs?

If you haven't walked away yet, walk away RIGHT NOW!!! a relationship where one of the partners is on drugs will never work. It's totally destructive. Anyways, I know you probably love that person very much, so don't forget him and leave. You have to walk away from the relatioship, but not from the person. Urge him to seek for help and help him through all the process of giving up drugs. If he is willing to give up drugs he will do it better with your help and then, once he is recovered maybe you can go on with your relationship. But take this seriously, If he doesn't want to give up drugs, go away and don't look back. If you stay with him nothing will be fine.\nBYE; GOOD LUCK


What is the difference between an "Opord" and an "Oplan"?

An Opord is: A directive issued by a commander to subordinate commanders for the purpose of affecting the coordinated execution of an operation. (Joint Pub 1-02)\n\nAn Oplan is: Any plan, except for the Single Integrated Operational Plan (SIOP), for the conduct of military operations. Plans are prepared by combatant commanders in response to requirements established by the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and by commanders of subordinate commands in response to requirements tasked by the establishing unified commander. Operation plans are prepared in either a complete format (OPLAN) or as a concept plan (CONPLAN).\n\nI thing the differnece is that the opord is an order where the oplan is the plan

Which is the first webSite launched on internet?

You asked, "What was the first website ever?" Well, that depends on your definition of "web site." It would be great if there was a nice clear-cut answer, but, like most inventions, the world wide web didn't just pop into existence all at once....It happened (and is still happening) in stages. A reasonable answer might be the site that Tim Berners-Lee put together at CERN for the development of the first Browser/Editor, called WorldWideWeb, in 1990. But people might say, no, that didn't have enough in it of what we would today call "web technology" to qualify. Others might say, no, there were earlier things that qualify like Vanevar Bush's " As We May Think" article in the July 1945 Atlantic Monthly.\n\nBut I'll stick with whatever test data Berners-Lee used in the development of the program called WorldWideWeb. Certainly by 1993, there were several sites at CERN that qualified by most people's definition.

principle behind RNA isolation under acidic condition?

Total Yeast RNA is obtained by extracting a whole cell homgenate with phenol. The concentrated solution of phenol disrupts hydrogen bonding in the macromolecules causing denaturation of protein, The turbid suspension is centrifuged and two phases appear. The lower phenol phase contains DNA and the upper aqueous phase contains carbohydrates and RNA. Denatured protein which is present in both phases is removed by centrifugation. The RNA is intact with alcohol added. The product this obtained is free of DNA but usually contains or contaminated with polysaccharide. Further purification can be made by treating the preparation with amylase.

The volume of the pyramid is 1/3 the volume of the prism.\n\nTo prove this, look at a horizontal cross section of pyramid. Let A = the area of the base.\n\n\nIf the the height of the pyramid is h, look at a cross section of the pyramid at a height t above the base. Any one dimentional measurement x in the base, will have size x(h-t)/n in the cross section. Any two dimensional measurement, (area) will be multiplied by ((h-t)/h)^2, i.e. A((h-t)/h)^2.\n\nNote\nNow integrate for t = 0 to h, A((h-t)/h)^2 dt\n\nYou get -A/3(h - t )^3/h^2.\nEvaluating at t = 0 and t = h you get 1/3Ah.\n\nThe volume of the prism is Ah.

In two years, i lost my wife, by father and my brother, i know what it is to lose someone, and my heart goes out to you!\n\nSecond, let me say welcome to Judaism!\n\nMy strong advice is to rise with the mourners when they recite the Kaddish in the synagogue, and, yes, to sit shiva in your own home, where what you do and how you do it is your own choice. \n\nRemember that, as a Jew, you are commanded by Gd, and most of the rabbinic authorities state that a Ger, a convert to Judaism, MUST observe shiva and shloshim and the year for his or her parents, regardless of the parents' religious status, because You are a Jew, and, as such, are commanded to, and for you NOT to would be to deny that you are one who is commanded.

how do i go to porno sites without other people finding it on my computer?

Of course you are 18 years old or above, either way you should stay away from porn of all sorts. It only leads to corruption; however a good program is "Window Washer" to cover your tracks. Also you would want to put an "Hidden" attribute on your folder then go to tools, folder options, view then click on do not show hidden or system files and hope your family does not know anything about computers.\n\nFind Jesus my man.

Can credit be improved by charging a cc balance then payning off?

You have the right idea, just needs a little tweaking.  First of all, never max out your credit card, even if you are planning on paying it off immediately when the bill arrives.  Most credit card companies update your credit report monthly on the day your new statement is avaliable.  The current balance listed on your credit report is actually the balance on your last statement.  If every month you max out and then pay off your card your credit report will still reflect your card as maxed out.  You would be much better off if you made a couple of small purchases each month and then pay them off in full when the bill arrives.  Using over 50% of your avaliable credit is considered excessive and will probably lower your credit score.  If you are relatively new to credit and still building your credit score, I would keep your monthly statement balance below a third of your credit limit.

I have read all of Tamora Pierce's books.  Are there any other authors as good as her?

I think Paolini's good. If you like pierce's books you should try manga and anime on for size. Like Inuyasha and Ranma 1/2 by Rumiko Takahashi, Fullmetal Alchemist by Hiromu Arakawa, Naruto by Masashi Kishimoto,and Shaman King by Hiroyuki Takei.  There are tons of other good titels these are just a few.
