Are these "get paid  for surveys" real, or just crap?

Paid surveys are not just crap.\nActually they are online divisions of market research companies. \nMarket research companies conduct surveys on behalf of other companies so that can modify their products or launch new products accordingly. They will compensate you depending on various factors.\nThere are many reputed survey sites where you can join their panels for free and get invited for surveys which pay you. The earning potential from surveys depend on your location- it is much better if you are from USA or Canada. Some of the best sites are NFO survey, Surveysavvy, ACOP, Globaltestmarket, Pinecone Research, NPD etc.\nAnother thing to keep in mind is that there are many sites that pretend to be paid surveys and charge a fee for accessing a database of survey sites. You should never fall for that trap as you can get all the links to paid survey sites free on many sites.


Are you smart enough?If so,then answer the following questions below!!!?

Q1) I don't understand the question.\nQ2) Enola Gay\nQ3) Bruce Graham\nQ4) Long Beach, WA USA\nQ5) Mercury\nQ5b) None\nQ6) Japan\nQ7) Light travels in wave lengths, even on a cloudless day the sky can appear orange or red depending on your persective position to the sun.  Blue is most common during mid-day because blue waves are long, and are reflected easily by the atmosphere as the shorter red and yellow waves are higher in frequency more of them get through the atmosphere.  As the sun sets sky starts to appear orange and red because you are looking through more atmosphere so almost all the blue is reflected.

Why do most (not all) minorities and foreigners tip bad?

Maybe it's the way the waitstaff treat the minorities.  \n\nWhen I first started waiting I was told that blacks and hispanaics tip badly.  However, I did not see that at all. \n\nWhat I did see was that Young people usually tipped poorly,  middle aged people sometimes tipped VERY well and old people tipped the horribly.  It wasn't because all the old people were on social security or anything like that because usually the people at my resturant were at least middle income, usually upper income because in was in a high income neighborhood.

The baby does not have to be the same as either of its parents. Be careful. A lot of people who think they understand this really don't.

How is one supposed to truly understand "medical terminology" without involving anything about physiology?

medical terminology was created coz of the inclusion of physiology, so if u remove the latter, how can u have the former?\n\nbesides, the word "terminology" itself states it`s a language in itself...if things cud`ve been solved by general logic, y were medical dictionaries created?\n\ntake the ex. of "flat" & "apartment", former`s used in UK nd latter in US ... both ultimately end into the same thing but if u use the logic behind 1 of those, u will not arrive at the other word, though both terms r technically correct.\n\na language has 2 basic purposes, 1 is to communicate within its group of ppl nd another is to conceal information from others who wud not understand it. like for docs-- whn a patient comes with his probs, there wud b 100s of possible diagnosis runnin in his mind. nd if he wishes to speak with sm other doc in the pt`s presence, he cant mention every doubt of his which may include just common cold or cud b terminal TB...u can imagine the pt`s reactions...\n\nso nxt time, dont use logic here, refer a med dictionary...

It appears your doctor thinks you have a form of vertigo, and the Eppley maneuver is one of several treatments for the condition. \nDrugs such as Antivert or Librium are also prescribed, as well as surgery and even exercise!\n\n“Vestibular rehabilitation therapy is designed by a physical therapist under the direction of a physician. In most cases, patients visit the therapist on a limited basis and perform custom-designed exercises at home, several times a day. As the patient progresses, difficulty of the exercises increases until the highest level of balance is attained during head movement, eye movement (i.e., tracking with the eyes), and walking.\n\nMedication \n\nEar infections (e.g., otitis media, labyrinthitis) caused by bacteria may be treated using antibiotics (e.g., amoxicillin, ceftriaxone).\nMyringotomy is a surgical procedure that may be used to treat chronic ear infections. In this procedure, which is performed under anesthesia, an incision is made in the eardrum and a small tube is placed in the opening to prevent fluid and bacteria from building up inside the ear.\n\nBenign paroxysmal positional vertigo may be treated with meclizine (Antivert®), an oral antiemetic that can be taken up to 3 times a day, or only as needed. Meclizine may cause drowsiness, dry mouth, and blurred vision.”\nhttp://www.neurologychannel.com/vertigo/treatment.shtml\n\n“The most reliable treatment for BPPV is a fairly simple, non-surgical procedure called canalith repositioning.12 This is done by changing the patient's head and body position in a series of steps that are thought to dislodge the calcium crystals within the vestibular labyrinth that caused the problem.\n\nCanalith repositioning is usually done under expert supervision, but it is easy enough that doctors often teach it to BPPV sufferers and their families.\n\nMany doctors also prescribe drugs called vestibular suppressants.\nBecause of unwanted side effects, such as lethargy and impaired balance, they are given sparingly and only for more severe and long-lasting attacks. The elderly are particularly sensitive to these side effects.\n\nAnother concern about these drugs is that they may slow or prevent the central nervous system from adjusting to a problem in the vestibular system. While vetibular suppressants often help lessen symptoms, especially in the short term, surgery is the ultimate answer for the unlucky few with severe BPPV-related vertigo that does not respond to the canalith repositioning procedure.”\nhttp://www.thedoctorwillseeyounow.com/articles/behavior/vertigo_9/\n\n“Loss of balance control\n    “In a normal healthy individual our senses of touch (feet, ankles, joints), sight (eyes) and inner ear motion sensors work together in harmony with the brain. A person with a balance disorder, however, may have a problem in any one of these systems, or in multiple systems. In\nsome individuals, one or more of the senses are missing and the person does not realize they are losing their balance. In other people, the brain gets confused and creates an inaccurate sense of falling when in fact the person is in balance. The risk of developing one or more of\nthese problems increases with age as our senses or brain centers are exposed to degenerative or infectious diseases, or the effects of injuries accumulated over a lifetime.\n\nSome individuals experiencing balance problems have an obvious medical diagnosis such as diabetes, Parkinson's disease, or even a stroke that are primary sources of the problem. In other individuals with balance difficulties, the cause can even be subtle undetected forms of these\ndiseases. However, diseases are not the only reason our senses and movements may be compromised. A history of injuries, such as concussions, ear infections, or serious sprains or fractures, may contribute to a loss of balance control over time.”\nhttp://www.onbalance.com/patient_info/balanceControl.aspx\n\n\nBenign paroxysmal positional vertigo\n====

jogging is an aerobic exercise and will not cause much muscle growth, if any.  Only reistance training can cause muscle growth.  Jogging however can result in loss of bodyfat, which can make you appear to be more toned.  IF getting toned if you objective, then try combining weight training and jogging as part of your fitness regiment.  Weight exercises can help you target specific body parts that you want to improve, more so than jogging.


Actually, there WAS a lot of industry.  The civil war had ended, slaves were emancipated (but still very poor and discriminated against).  Most states in the West weren't states yet, just territories with no proper government.  Things were pretty busy in large cities and in Industrial New England and New York and Pennsylvania, but if there wasn't a railroad nearby, you had to take a horse or boat or just walk, so people didn't move very far away if they could help it.  I don't think there were labor usions in those times, so work conditions were pretty bad, and since medical science was pretty scarce compared to today, people died fairly young of diseases like smallpox, typhoid, cholera, etc.

First of all, do you know what a molecule is?\n\nA molecule is the smallest particle of a substance (that still has the same chemical and physical properties of the substance) that is composed of 2 or more atoms.  Atoms are held together by a number of chemical forces, including a wide variety of bonds.\n\nAn inorganic molecule is a molecule from a substance that is non-living.  It is not composed of organic (living) matter, and often times that means it will not contain carbon, as carbon (C) is the main element of organic molecules.

How can I get full custody,when i have temp cust. when mom is in jail,since her birth dont want to give f/cust

It is Very difficult to get Sole custody. You have to PROVE that the mother is unfit and is harming your child in some way. Being in jail sounds bad but since she is in jail she can not be doing anything harmful. (In the courts point of view) Fighting this will be tough. You would be better off trying to change visitation. Try to get it that it has to be supervised. \n\nI would go talk to a lawyer. The first consultation is usually free. (and custody battles can be expensive)

What effects do evaporation and rain have on the salinity and density of seawater?

evaporation would decrease the mass per unit volume of sea water..as the latent heat for vaporization will evaporate the water...there will lesser and lesser mass per unit volume, which will in turn decrease the density (m/V). Also due to evaporation the amount soluble water will get into vapor phase leaving behind the salts...so the salinity will increase..and yeah salinity is defined as the amount of dissolved salts in water...(normally in psu in oceanographic sense)...so more water gets evaporated, the dissolved salts get more compared to the dissolving solvent , which in this case the water...so the amount of salt increases relative to the water..

why have the mental illnesses not been removed during evolution through natural selection like other genes?

Let's name three genes A/a, B/b, C/c. Capitals indicate the dominant one. Let's say you need a aa bb cc combination to be schizophrenic. \n\nPeople who have any of the recessives is smarter than average. Those with two recessives are geniuses. Those with three, crazy. Let's say the recessive is 1/10th as common as the dominant.\n\nThen we have ratios: ABC = 72.9%, aBC/AbC/ABc = 24.3%, abC/aBc/Abc = 2.7%, abc = 0.1%.\n\nWhich means we have one out of four people be "above average" in intelligence, 1 out of 40 to be genius or near-genius, and one out of a thousand to be schizophrenic.\n\nThe biological pay-off of the genes reaches an equilibrium at the point where the benefits to the species (above average, geniuses) outweigh the harm (schizophrenics); in other words, when the benefits are maximized.\n\nWere these recessive genes to disappear, not only would the schizophrenics go away, but also the geniuses. Were these genes to be even less common, the ratio of geniuses would be to low to produce any real benefit to the species.

Why is it that many religious people believe?

I will begin by adressing the fact that I am a believer in the bible of the christians.\n\nWe have a right to "do Gods work" because He tells us to. He has given us his Word, and told us what to do. \n\nGod raised up many judges for the people in the OT. Just see Samuel for that matter. When the bible talks about passing judgement it doesnt mean that we are to sit idly by while we watch people murder innocent children, or poison our descendents with their applause of sin. It means that we are not to hold others accountable to our own standards. None of us are perfect. Think of it as we are all siblings and God is our father. I cannot condemn you to hell like the Father can. But it is my duty to warn you that what you are doing is going to get you in trouble. Also if you are hurting my other siblings I must intervene. I cannot send you to hell that judgement is for the Holy One alone. This also answers why everyone cant just leave people alone and let them "live their own lives". For one thing its not just their life. Your sin is contagious and will infect others. \n\nSay for a moment you have white carpet. You have a room mate. Your roomate pays half of the rent and bills. Your room mate comes home from work with muddy shoes and refuses to take off his shoes. Furthermore he will not help you clean up after himself. Now is his problem his alone? Of course not, now you live in a house with white carpet that has mud stains all over it. Your room mate is capable of poisoning every aspect of your life and those whom you meet.  \n\nWe are all room mates here on Earth. Wipe your feet!\n\n**************ADDITIONAL:\n**********************************************************\nI never said you were the owner of the house. You are a joint owner. To clarify further, the house symbolizes our world, earth, society, and so on. Neither the roommate or yourself have a right to entire ownership. We are all roommates here. Here lies the problem. Everyone assumes they are the owners of the house and that they can track their mud anywhere they wish without rebuke. And also, the society which my children live in, they  ARE being DIRECTLY affected by the mud on everyones shoes. My family and I have every right to go to the grocery store without seeing half nude women on magazines toddler eye level next to the candy. Or people telling our children through their actions that sex is okay as long as you have money for an abortion. Every person on this earth is a walking billboard for their lifestyle. Anything you do is an invite for someone to act like you. So when you smoke, drink to excess, make out with your gay or heterosexual lover in indiscreet manor, promote any kind of ill behavior, you are encouraging others to do as you are.\n\nThank you for your consideration of my comment. Even if you dont agree with me I appreciate your ability to consider my stance. May your search be fruitful and your wisdom enlightened.

Why is my boyfriend not romantic? Does he not like me?

being romantic isnt something you are born with, it is a learned skill. Maybe he hasnt had a chance to be romantic before and needs some ideas or encouragement. Dont worry, i dont think it has anything to do with not liking you, because obviously if he did not like you, he wouldnt be with you. \n\nI suggest dropping some hints, like tell him how the boyfriend of your friend did so and so and it was totally romantic etc. Give him clues as to how much you would love it if he did stuff like that once in a while. Voila, watch the guy change. \n\ngood luck

Help me with this. My girl walked up to me and told that she is not in love with me any more.What should I do?

This is an easy question. How old are you and your girlfriend and how long have you been dating? If she told you she is not in love with you, then she has probably been feeling this way for awhile and finally got the courage to tell you. If you want her back, all you have to do is ignore her, make yourself busy and when you talk, be somewhat short with the conversation. If she still cares about you, more than likely your unavailability will pull her closer. If she really doesn't like you anymore, that will be obvious too. If that is the case, then you should definitely try to not call her as much and find other things to entertain your thoughts so that you can move on.

NO...doesn't exist...\n_____________________\nCode: LYOKO is a French animated television series featuring both an anime-influenced style and computer-generated imagery, produced by Antefilms during the first season and MoonScoop during the second, in association with the France 3 television network and Canal J. Code: LYOKO is about a group of four boarding school students enrolled at Kadic Junior High School, named Jeremie, Odd, Ulrich, and Yumi. The students try to help a virtual girl named Aelita leave the virtual world of Lyoko (found inside a supercomputer housed in the basement of an abandoned factory near Kadic), and enter the real world.\n\nA megalomaniac digital entity, named XANA, bent on world domination, has taken over the supercomputer in charge of Lyoko. It attacks the real world by activating towers (usually one at a time), which act as links to the real world. If the group is able to get Aelita to the activated tower(s) out of the more than forty scattered about Lyoko's five regions, she can deactivate the tower and neutralize XANA's attack on the real world; then the supercomputer can revert time to just before the attack, leaving no one except Team Lyoko to remember any of the events that transpired. To complicate the situation, they must do this while ensuring their classmates and teachers are not killed (because going back in time cannot bring back those killed by XANA), and deal with the various personality clashes they have with them at the same time.\n\nDespite the occasional use of English names for characters in the American dub, Code: LYOKO is set in France, presumably in Boulogne-Billancourt where the real factory that the factory in the show is based on was located. The school is also shown to be located in France, as observed through the targeting computer of a military satellite that XANA had taken over in the episode "Satellite". Several dubbing errors confuse the location, such as Americanized street names in one episode. The second season seems to confuse this moreso than the first, as there have been several dubbing errors that directly confuse the location.


How do you save messages to your hard drive using Outlook Express?

Why do guys watch you up and down when you are speaking to them?

well...you see the only resone he wont look you in the eyes is becouse he wants you, and only for your body not for you personality


what would be the constant variation of this direct variation: 5y = 13x  ???

To find the constant of variation get y by itself by dividing both sides of the equation by the number in front of y.  This gives\n\ny = 13/5 x\n\nThe number in front of x will be the constant of variation (13/5).


How should I go about losing 25-30 lbs by 2/1/07?

30 lbs in a year is a good goal and one that shouldnt be too difficult to obtain with some discipline.\n\nFirst and foremost you have to determine if it is a healty weight for you to be at.  I am 5'6" and pretty muscular, after talking with my doc, she said that she wouldnt recomend me being under 180 at this point.  To get under that weight I would need to cut way too much body fat.  I am currently at 205 and I carry a little more fat than I would like but for me it works.\n\nMake sure that you do this healthy way, with a lifestyle change that includes excecise and good eating.  I read in a Mens Fitness that it takes 6 weeks for something to turn into a habit.\n\nSet short term goals, write them down and post them somewhere you can see them repeated times during the day.\n\nHelped me.

What age were you when you first became aware of death?

I learned when I was 3.  I lost my father to a drunk driving accident, he was the drunk driver.  It was something that I really never recovered from, my mother did the best she could to raise me and my sister, but I still never had a father figure.  It has also made it difficult on me now as a father myself.


how do i become pregnant..........tried everything?

Both of you need to go to a fertility doctor to determine whether either of you are okay.  He could have a low sperm count, you could have a blocked tube, etc...\n\nThe doctor will be able to tell you where to go from there.  Good luck!!


what is the best way to introduce algebra to a person who has never been able to learn it before?

Algebra is really a big subject. Maple or Mathematica may help. Especially graphs. They are easy and useful.\nI do have 2 examples of story problems which may help.\nSay you are to feed 16 animals each get the same biscuits, the dogs get 2 the cats get 1. You are given 25 biscuits. How many dogs,how many cats are there? \nYou realize all 16 get one so hand out 16. Now the cats have been fed and the remaining 9 biscuits must be for the dogs.\nIf Sally can make 3 salads in 1 hour and Mark can make 2. How long to make 1 salad if they work together?\nThink of cars and miles per hour. Sally's speed is 3/hr and Mark's 2/hr. The sum is 5/hour. Now you need hour/salad so invert. 1/5 of an hour to make one salad.

what kind of softwares do i need to install to protect my computer from hackers?

As was mentioned, you can run software on your computer to act as a firewall.  This software does the job of: a) blocking access to ports that you configure; and/or b) notifying you when applications attempt to use those ports.\n\nIn Windows based machines, hacking is typically done by either using features of the operating system meant to be a useful nicety to the owner of the PC (but isn't secured, such as remote desktop) or by exploiting an application or a known flaw in that application which others can access over the internet through an open 'port'.\n\nMany routers and wireless routers nowadays contain software that will allow you to configure which ports are open if you have several machines connected to your network.  If you are dialed directly in to your ISP or have your computer plugged directly into a DSL or cable modem, then you may need to use Windows firewall (if you have Windows XP) or install firewall software.\n\nA 'port' is basically like a "telephone" into an application that is waiting to answer the phone.  If the person making the call gets the user to do something they normally would not do (such as divulge personal information or unlock the front door) then they could gain access to invade privacy or cause damage.\n\nYou need software to configure and monitor the network ports on your machine.  Close ports that do not need to be used and do not run applications that listen on ports which you do not need.  If you do need applications that listen on ports for connections, ensure they are up to date with the latest patches.\n\nI've included a "Tucows" (The Ultimate Collection of Winsock Software [as originally published long ago]) search link for firewall software on their site.


Will we be Christians be "raptured" or will they go through the "tribulation"?  Give scripture verses.

I use to believe in the pre-trib rapture. several questions that kept grabbing my heart. \n1-Matt24:22- and except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved, but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.\n Matt24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders,insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.\nIf we are to be raptured before tribulation, then who are the elect and very elect that Jesus is talking about. If it is the Jews and God calls them the elect and the very elect, then why should , who fall beneath, the catagory of elect be taken out?\n2-1 Co. 15:52-In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.\nIf  the rapture occurs before tribulation, then how can it be at\n the last trump, if there are seven trumpets that sound during tribulation?\n2 Thes2:1-4 which is too long to write- but it tells us that we won't be gathered unto  HIm until we see, first, a falling away ( falling away, not gathering up ) , the antichrist is revealed, and we see him sitting in the temple.\n3 -Rev7:9 After this I beheld, and ,lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues,stood before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, and palms in their hands. Rev 7:14 And i ssaaid unto him, Sir thou knowest. And he said to me, these are they which came our of great tribulation and have wshed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.\n  How can this verse be used for the pre trib rapture, if they  aare to come out oof   great tribulation. Don't you have to be in something, in order to come out of it.\n There is much more. Keep on hunting.

Truncated Y-Axis Labels on Excel 2003 Charts?

unfortunately there does not seem to be an official fix or patch from Microsoft. The knowledge base article appears to be Microsoft’s only information on the issue.\n\n“The problem is due to a combination of font size, zoom factor, screen resolution,  and a few other monitor related parameters ("pixel aspect ratio"). It's frustrating because it isn't really predictable, and it isn't  easy to get rid of.”\n\n“The problem seems to go away in print preview and in printed copy.”\n\nTherefore there doesn’t seem to be a straightforward fix.


What is the best way to get rid of a squirrel that is chewing your roof open?

Can't think of it now but people usually do that when they reside their house. Or if its in the facia, get only some new facia metal made up and installed. Call a siding company.


Simple!  A manhole is round so that the cover can never fall in.  If it were any other shape, like a square, rectangle or oval, you could take the cover out, flip it sideways and drop it in, but with a round hole and a round cover, it will always be just a little too big.\n\nPart 2:  I would still call it a hole if it was square.  Why wouldn't you?  Plenty of holes aren't round.  Button holes are very narrow compared to their length.  And I guess the Indian Government aren't concerned with people dropping manhole covers into a sewer, or didn't think about it.


In anthropology, polygamy is the practice of marriage to more than one partner at the same time. Polygamy comes mainly in two forms: Polyandry (one wife, several husbands) is rather rare and mostly covers relationships where several men share a wife; on the other hand there is the far more common polygyny (one husband, several wifes).\nIn everyday language polygamy is used when people are cactually talking about polygyny.

I have pain in my chest doc. says is caused by achalasa.Specialist cant find any way to help me. Help?

TREATMENT OF ACHALASIA — Several different options are available for the treatment of achalasia. Most have been used for many years, but one (botulinum toxin injection) is relatively new. Unfortunately, none of these treatments can halt or reverse the loss of nerve cells in the wall of the esophagus. However, all of these treatments are effective for overcoming the blockage created by the LES and restoring normal movement of solid food and liquid down the esophagus and into the stomach.\n\nTwo of these treatments (drug therapy and botulinum toxin injection) work by pharmacologically reducing the LES pressure while two other treatments (balloon dilatation and surgery [myotomy]) work by mechanically weakening the muscle fibers of the LES. Each of these treatments has various advantages and disadvantages that you should discuss with your doctor before making a decision.\n\nDrug therapy — Two classes of drugs, nitrates and calcium channel blockers, have muscle-relaxing effects. These drugs can relax the LES and decrease symptoms in people with achalasia. They are usually taken by placing a pill under the tongue 10 to 30 minutes before meals.\n\nMedical therapy is the least invasive option for treating achalasia. However, most people find that long-term medical therapy is inconvenient, often ineffective, and sometimes associated with side effects such as headache and low blood pressure. Furthermore, these drugs tend to lose their effectiveness with repeated use.\n\nBalloon dilatation (pneumatic dilatation) — Balloon dilatation mechanically stretches the contracted LES. This procedure is effective for relieving most symptoms of achalasia in around two-thirds of patients, although chest pain persists in some people. Up to one-half of patients may require more than one session for adequate relief. Balloon dilatation is currently considered as the standard non-surgical treatment for achalasia.\n\n  Procedure — People undergoing balloon dilatation are usually told to fast for at least 12 hours before the procedure, and some people may be placed on a liquid diet one or two days in advance. Using fluoroscopy, a doctor advances a guidewire down the esophagus and positions it inside the LES. A deflated balloon is then advanced along this guidewire, positioned inside the LES, and inflated for about 60 seconds. The balloon is then deflated and withdrawn, and the person is monitored in a recovery area for five to six hours to detect any complications of the procedure. If there are no complications, people can usually resume eating after six hours.\n\nIn most cases, only one dilatation is performed during each session; if a person's day-to-day symptoms do not improve, additional sessions can be performed. The balloons are available in three sizes; the smallest size is usually used during the first session, and larger sizes are often used during subsequent sessions. If a person's symptoms are still present after three sessions, doctors usually recommend surgery.\n\n  Success rate — A single balloon dilatation session continues to relieve symptoms of achalasia in about 59 percent of people one year after the procedure and in about 25 to 50 percent of people five years after the procedure. The success rate at later time points has not been well studied, but some people have remained symptom-free for as long as 25 years. Prolonged relief of symptoms is more likely in people over the age of 40 years.\n\n  Complications — About 15 percent of people experience severe chest pain immediately after balloon dilatation, and some experience fever.\n\nThe most significant complication of balloon dilatation is creation of a tear (perforation) in the wall of the esophagus; this complication occurs in about 2 to 6 percent of people undergoing the procedure, and it is most likely to occur during the first dilatation session. Symptoms of persistent pain or discomfort in the hours after the procedure may signal that the esophagus has been torn.

hey now.  just a minute.  density is not the only factor that determines the speed of sound in a solid.  also at issue is the "stiffness" of the material; in physics terms this is called the elastic modulus.  so the speed of sound is higher in diamond (12000 m/s) than it is in lead (1600 m/s) even though lead is denser.\n\nin general the equation for the speed of sound in a bulk material is v = sqrt(B/p) where B is the elastic modulus and p is the density.  \n\nthe elastic modulus is not a particularly simple quantity to derive from first principles, compared to density - it has to do with how the material is structured on an atomic level.  however the speed is certainly easy to measure.  here is a page with some tabulated values for various materials:  http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/tables/soundv.html\n\nit shows that brass has a higher speed of sound.

when is the best time of year to sell a house?  Buy a house?

I always thought the best time to sell was in the spring. No one has any spare money in winter. In the spring people always look for a change, whether it be a lick of paint or a whole new house. \nAlso people see it at it's best in bright daylight with the garden plants in bloom.\nBuying a house in winter yiu can usually knock down the price a little as the sellers are usually more desperate then.


For a long time it was the other way.  Boys were thought to be smarter.  Better at math and science, etc.  So now a swing has happened to try to catch the girls up.

What does it mean to be in a 'dandelion' summer?

This is a phrase created by Ray Bradbury in the novel "Dandelion Wine".  \n\n"It’s a story of a thousand memories of things we can’t forget, that we should store away in the back of our minds, like Grandfather stored away the homemade dandelion wine in the cool dark of the cellar, to be opened and drunk in the cold of the winter, when a memory of the dandelion summer is just what the soul needs."\n\nSo it isn't a meteoroligical term, it's a phrase meant to describe how we remember those summers when we were children.  The summers where every day was sunny and warm, where the bees buzzed in the flowers and nothing could hurt you. The days where it seemed like you could get anything you wanted just by wishing on a dandelion head and blowing the seed head off.

why burns caused by steam at 100 deg c are more serious than those caused by water at the same temperature?

Steam has more heat energy in it then water.\n\nDont confuse heat and temperature, they are not the same thing.\nTemperature is the measure of the average kinetic energy of the molecules of a substance.  Heat is a form of energy.\n\nIf both the steam and the liquid water are at 100 degrees C, they are both at the same temperature.  However, in order to boil water into steam, you not only must raise its temperature to 100 degree C, but also supply additional energy, called the "Latent heat of vaporization".  This extra, Latent, heat is the cause of more severe burns.\n\nWhen you want to boil water, you must supply the latent heat, but when water condenses, it gives that energy up.\nAs the steam consense, your body absorbs that latent heat, but then it also absorbs energy from the 100 degree water that just formed.

How do you hook up a 120v to 12.6v transformer with a Bridge Rectifier?

Aboslutely, provided the fans are for 12V service.  Leave the secondary center tap unconnected, and put each end of the secondary to the AC input of the rectifier.  The + goes to the red lead of the fan; the - goes to the black lead (traditionally speaking of course.) Now the supply will be very ripply, with a 120 Hz waveform which could be more than a volt.  If you put a 470uF 35V capacitor across the plus and minus of the rectifier, you will smooth out the ripple, but increase the voltage above 12 volts.  Make sure the fans can take the increased voltage.  Transformers are rated at the RMS output at the 3 amps in your case.  The peak voltage will be around 1.4*12.6, but in practice I have never seen it go above 15 V with a load.  Therefore at 1 amp, if you put a cap on the supply, it may produce excessive voltage.  Check it with a voltmeter-- you may luck out.\n\nI have been in a similar situation.  Get a 5 watt resistor at maybe 1 to 3 ohms.  Insert it in series between the capactitor positive and the fans wired in parallel.  When running, use a voltmeter on the fan circuit.  Increase the resistor till you get 12V or thereabouts.  The resistor will get hot, so leave the leads long and connect them to a terminal strip or block if possible, and mount it in the airstream.\n\nCheck out the LM7812, however, at 1 Amp.  Google it, or check out jameco.com for the part.  Put a 470uF at 35 V at each end of the regulator to keep things very smooth.  Your fan will run perfectly with the voltage regulator.  Be sure to mount the tab on a heatsink to keep it cool since you are running it at full capacity.

"You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams." (Dr. Seuss)


Do you think the Bush Adminstration should hand over security and control of several major ports to Dubai?

Well, we're not handing the ports over to Dubai. What's happening is that the British company that manages the ports is being purchased by a company based in Dubai. So it's very likely that in terms of people "on the ground", i.e. the ones in the port itself, there would be very little change. Basically all that will change is the profits from the port are going to another set of CEOs.\n\nFurthermore, there would be no change in the safety procedures at the port. The procedures are federally mandated, and enforced by the US Coast Guard, so it's not as if the new company could change them, even if they wanted to. \n\nSpeaking of which, it's not clear why people are automatically assuming that this company is somehow connected to terrorism itself. The only reason given is that the company is based in Dubai. What this reason really means is that people are afraid of having an Arab company run the ports, since "Arabs are terrorists" or some similar racist dreck.\n\nBut the company that in question, Dubai Ports World, has never had a security problem before. In an article on CNN.com (see below), an expert on maritime security named Kim Peterson called DPW's security record "exemplary".\n\nSo the sale shouldn't be a problem, although the Bush Administration is arguably making a mistake in this situation. \n\nTheir mistake is not the sale of ports, or more accurately the sale of the port management company, but rather that instead of explaining to people why they're doing what they're doing, the Administration is simply saying that we should trust them and not offering any reason to do so.

i need to know the formulas for finding the area of a figure originated for a report and cant find anything?

The first area to be defined was the obvious one of a rectangle.  The number of squares of unit size that would fill up a rectangle is clearly the number of such squares that fit in a row across one dimension of the rectangle, times the number of such rows needed.  Since each square has a length and width of one unit, it's easy to see that the length x width = area of a rectangle.\n\nA rectangle can be divided into two right triangles of equal size.  Hence, the area of a right triangle is 1/2 x length x width, only in triangles we call those things base and height.  Now, any arbitrary triangle can be broken up into two right triangles.  Doing so, it's easy to show that the area of *any* triangle is 1/2 x base x height, where the height is defined as the perpendicular distance from the line containing the base to the opposite vertex.  Similar techniques using triangles can be used to find the area of other regular polygons. \n\nThe area of things like circles can be computed from integral calculus, although I suspect there is probably a geometric method to find the area of a circle as well.\n\nThe area of figures bounded by more complex functions than straight lines and circles is found using integral calculus.

Can I deduct NY state income tax on federal return?

what happened at the end of Lost that aired last night?

Jack stopped Sayid from beating the hot air balloon guy.  Sayid tells Charlie on the beach that he believes the guy is one of the "others" because he felt no guilt when he was beating him\n\n\nNext Episode:\nWednesday, Feb. 22 at 9/8c\n"Pilot - Parts I & 2"\nIt's a special two-hour broadcast of the pilot that started it all. After Oceanic Flight 815 crash lands, the 48 survivors find themselves on an island of harsh terrain, cruel weather and dark secrets, including a frightful creature that stalks the jungle.

What kind of hernia do you have? There are many different kinds. Hiatal hernia's and inguinal hernias for example are very different, and have different treatments. As always make an appointment to see your physician. I don't know what sort you have, but if you are in any serious pain go sooner rather than later. Some herniations are more dangerous than others. Get checked out.\n\nEDIT: Well if you haven't been examined by a physician, I suggest this first of course. Surgical repair may or may not be an option for you, this depends on a number of reasons, that I will not go in to. Your best source of info is from the surgeon who evaluated  your hernia.


Did Al Capone & Adolph Hitler ever get together ? When Big Al wanted advise on how to capture more of USA?

I don't beleive the ever got together.\n\n"These curious and usually concealed connections between governments (in the form of the military and intelligence community), organised crime, the Vatican and Nazi war criminals have some significant history. Not least was the secret agreement reached between US Naval Intelligence officers and Mafia don Charles "Lucky" Luciano during World War II. This resulted in the Mafia's decision to aid and assist the Allies by contacting Mob figure Vito Genovese in 1943 to prepare the way for the Allied landing in Sicily. As earlier outlined, it was primarily those SS&endash;Gestapo units located in Italy under command of SS General Wolff that were initially concerned in the Operation Sunrise negotiations."

Best way to force your self to drop weigth?

i dont think there's a best way cuz everyones body is different in every way. some people do everything to lose weight but cant, but with anything you do you got to do some kind of aerobics or excercise. hydroxycut helps you slim down but you need to drink a lot of water. dont eat big meals like big breakfast or big lunch and big dinner. instead, change your eating habits to having small healthy snacks all throughout the day. if you have a slow metabolism, the small amounts of food will break down faster and easier. thus preventing huge amounts of fat deposits around the body. i got a good metabolism so i'm greatful i can eat what i want. though i like to eat healthy. if you like tea, drink green tea. it will help in some weight control. i know there's a lot more answers but cant think right now. hope this helps a little.

What's the latest season to ski in North America? And where?

The definitive answer to your question is Whistler, British Columbia, about 75 miles north of Vancouver.  The Whistler Blackcomb resort averages about 30 feet of snow annually. Of that 30 feet, they usually get around 3 feet every May.\n\nAdd to this the simple fact that Whistler is, far and away, the largest ski area in North America.  Both mountains have over a full mile of vertical drop.  There are more than 200 trails, serviced by over 30 lifts covering over 8,000 acres of skiable terrain.  Only the Vail, CO area comes close with over 5,000 acres, making Whistler about 40% larger. \n\nWhistler typically runs their winter operation until the first weekend in June.  Then the trails are cleared of snow to operate as a mountain bike park.  Don't frown -- if you've got the right gear, you can even go skiing through the summer on the glaciers!

what is the fastest way to lose 100 pounds?

Definitely cut out sugar and fat from your diet where you can. Talk to your doctor about what your limits might be, then amp up your exercise regime, making sure you're keeping your heart rate aerobic when exercising. See this site for some good tips:\nhttp://www.smartgym.com/aerobicbpm.htm\nBe sure also that you're drinking enough water. Choose foods with a low-glycemic index, like oatmeal, that will help to keep your blood sugar level and will make you feel less hungry throughout the day. You can learn more about low-glycemic foods at http://www.glycemicindex.com/\nLastly, I doubt many would recommend trying to burn 100 pounds quickly, because you might rebound later and gain it all back. But exercising daily, eating small quantities of the right foods and drinking water (and nothing but) will really help you to reach your ultimate goal. Good luck! :)

Why I can't play  DVD video (I burned-in from DVD+RW drive) to stand alone DVD players?

Use nero and be sure to set format to VCD SVCD or DVD\n\nelse you jsut make a content disk\n\n\n\nOk. Ulead studio is a video editor. So you make/edit the video, but the problem is to be played as a DVD or VCD/SVCD it needs to meet certain criteria. \n\n\nI think for dvd it must be like 720 x ??? in size and be separated into VOB files or m2v with the audio in a different directory. There are many commercial conversion utilities. Nero does it automatically. You need the encoder to do it though.\n\nSVCD is a little better resolution, like 480x ??? and VCD is about 350x???\n\nMinidvds are good and can work on regular CDs, but last only about 15minutes.


Which is best Adkins diet or weight watchers?

In my opinion it would really depend on the person dieting. Weight Watchers allows you to eat almost anything just within reason, and you have to count points. It's not a diet that will cause you to lose weight extremely fast, however it will cause you to keep the weight off that you do lose, unlike Adkins. This diet you can lose a lot of weight really fast but most people (not all) gain it back just a quick and then some, because sooner or later you'll want those carbs back.


What happens when you do not sign waiver for extradition from one  state to another? Need answer soon?

I'm not a lawyer, but i would follow the "deny until you die" theory, which states, making law enforecment work for everything. Cooperating with law enforcement does nothing to help your case in anyway, unless there is a signed deal saying otherwise. The longer your dad is out of state, the better, as witnesses and evidence have time to forget and be misplaced. Remeber, making the DA anngry is NOT evidence against your dad, and regaurdless the da will prosocute to te best of his ability anyway.

Why are people so absolute in their judgements of others especially when they have limited information?

A lot of the time, people aren't completely aware of just how limited their information is.  Additionally, we're extremely proud and confident by nature, and have been taught that we have the ability to 'figure things out.'  Added to this is the fact that we've been taught (in school, but also elsewhere) to draw conclusions from little evidence, i.e. to work with what we've got.  It's at times a practical approach to the factual, scientific world; not, on the other hand, so much when it concerns people and things which are very flexible and sometimes in a constant state of flux.  People are constantly changing, and we're so complex that even we cannot understand ourselves.  But that does not preclude many people from assuming a more intimate and detailed knowledge than perhaps they really possess.\n\nThen there is the fact that we have many "models" on which we base assumptions.  Depending on our own beliefs, experiences, and positions in life we are inclined to believe one thing or another.  We take the information we've accumulated and the knowledge we've gathered from past events and apply it to the ones at hand, even if it's not very applicable or appropriate.  People feel the need to conquer and understand things, and this is one method they use in an attempt to do that.  It's not fair, not at all.  It's not fun for anybody, least of all the person being judged and perhaps consequently unfairly treated.  Unfortunately, c'est la vie.\n\nI didn't mean to make such a jumbled answer.  It's a fairly simple question, but there really are so many angles to it.  Quite often, people are not conscious of just how judgemental they are and how much they jump to conclusions, and that expounds the problem.  And any resistance from either side just worsens the tension and solidifies any pre-existing notions.\n\nI think I could go on and on.  Suffice it to say, people are arrogant and pretentious, both by nature as well as a side effect of an "enlightened" society in which thought and analysis are valued traits.  We claim a right to knowledge and opinion, regardless of any effects.  I think the only way truly to deal with that is to take precautions on how we present ourselves, unfair as that may be at times, so as to safeguard against the possibility of anybody jumping to the wrong conclusions.  Ultimately, though, we have to let go of the need to be in control of other people's thoughts, their preconceptions and judgements, however much they may bother us.  There's a lot we cannot change in this world...

G-protein is a shorthand term for guanine nucleotide binding protein.  Generally, these are proteins which can be turned on or off by binding to GTP (or guanine triphosphate).  These are often coupled to transmembrane proteins that will activate the g-protein in response to binding a ligand (so-called g-protein coupled receptors).  The use of these paris are to trigger a chemical cascade to initiate activity in a cell in response to an external stimuls.  When the ligand binds the g-protein coupled receptor, it makes the g-protein lose a molecule of GDP (guanine diphosphate) in favor of a molecule of GTP.  In that form it is active, and it will activate other molecules.  Eventually, it will hydrolyze the GTP into GDP + Pi (inorganic phosphate), and in that form its inactive again.\n\nThe structure is complicated.  Briefly, it has three subunits (alpha, beta and gamma) and I'm pretty sure that activation of the protein makes them dissociate.  It's complicated, and a long time ago, so I'd check the link for the structure.\n\nCheers.

Please give me an example of someone in the US being beheaded by an angry religious mob recently.  If the premise of your question is false, you aren't going to get any answers that make any sense.\n\nNote to Additional Details:  we are certainly not immune to terrorist attacks in the US, it is a real concern.  However, we are in much less danger than in many other places in the world, and I don't think that falsely magnifying the danger is going to make it any better.  \n\nA major reason that the absurd demonstrations over the cartoons have gone on for as long as they have is because some people in Muslim countries continue to inflame and stir people up with overblown, reckless, and irresponsible rhetoric.  In fact they use the same sort of arguements that you're using now:  "Our countries are all going to be taken over, our youth corrupted, horrible things are going to happen, by depraved Westerners unless we all stand up and do something drastic about it."  \n\nLike you, these people do have a small basis for what they are saying, but they're not doing anything to help the problem constructively.  They're just trying to incite a riot.  Do you really want to emulate them?

definitely stick with motrin.  It's best for that sort of thing, I think.\nHe's gonna be crabby, so just baby him a little.  Make sure he's plenty hydrated.  If he won't take water, give him some flavored pedialyte, or some jello water.  \nLay down with him, read some books, make sure he has plenty of rest.\nI'm not sure how high you should let that go before you see a doctor or hit the ER, so keep an eye on it & if it blows up to more than 102.0, you should probably give someone a call.  If nothing else, you could get the number for your local emergency room & see if they can leave a message for a doctor to call you, though I think they may say they can't give advice over the phone.\nIf the fever persists for more than 24 hours, you should definitely see someone.  Since it's Sunday night, it couldn't hurt to call your pediatrician first thing in the morning for advice.\nOh, and a tepid bath.  Warm enough to not be uncomfortable, but cool enough to provide some relief.


What type of work would you like to do, describe your dream job?

The work I would like to do is to be a general office clerk. I like to photocopy, help with mass mailings, file, and data entry. So far, only the temp agencies have this type of employment. They don't have it every week, but occasionally they do. My dream job is to do this for someone in a 40 hour work week every week.


Is there any good idea to settle my debt from credit card faster? help! RM50K..?

The best plan is to get on a tight budget, work extra, sell stuff, and put all the extra money toward the debt.  Check out http://www.daveramsey.com and the forums there for additional information on becoming debt free.\n\nGood luck.
