When Benjamin Frankling discovered electircity, why wasn't he electrocuted when lightning hit the kite?

According to a great biography on Ben Franklin written by Walter Isaacson, Ben Franklin actually did this experiment, and related it to his friend Peter Collinson in a letter that BF also printed in his Pennsylvania Gazette. Here is what is fishy - BF waited 4 months after the experiment to tell his buddy and publish it, even though word of similar French experiments had also surfaced about 3 weeks before BF's publication. One reason he may have waited on this so long is because BF thought it interesting but not groundbreaking. As BF relates the experiment, he did fly a kite (with a small metal rod mounted on it) in stormy weather and noticed the dripping wet line growing unusually taught. He touched his knuckle to the key on the line and drew a spark. He does not mention actual lightning hitting the kite. What I personally think happened (and I am an electronics technician) is that his kite with the metal rod was soaking up the negative electrons present in large amounts in a storm. The ground, and our friend BF was positively charged, and when he brought his knuckle close to the key, the charges equalized  - wallah - a spark! This is the same thing that happens when you get shocked by static electricity. You can see the spark, especially a strong one, when you shuffle across the carpet and touch something metal. However, such a charge might contain a potential of tens of thousands of volts, but little current and thus be harmless, just like static electricity. Had he taken an actual lightning hit I am sure he would have mentioned it had he survived. It seems that once his account got out it was embellished by other newspeople somewhat, although the story is rooted in truth. A sidenote - BF can be considered the inventor of and a strong proponent of lightning rods. These he did much experimenting with , and is credited with saving many buildings in the New England area and elsewhere. It is interesting to note that when his lightning rods took a hit, they were usually destroyed (and these were heavy metal rods!)

Basically, I'll put it in a nutshell. Theres lots more pyschological bunk that goes along with this, but basically... the Id is the part of the brain that is sorta like a caveman. Caveman want icecream- caveman GET icecream NOW. Caveman want sex- caveman get sex NOW.  (Its the core of your human needs and desires- animialistic sometimes in nature).  The ego is what you see yourself as. It is the thing in your head that says, " I'm cool and smart, therefore, I deserve some ice cream, now".  It more or less gives you reasons to do or not to do things.  Superego has always been described to me as the Cop of your brain. "Sure you want the icecream, and you want it NOW.. but do you need it?  Who's icecream is that? Can you have some of it?  Maybe you should ask, first"  That sorta thing.  I bet someone could give you a link, or explain it better to you.  I haven't studied all that in years and years. I was gonna be a shrink, but turned out to be a sleep tech, instead! lol

You just plugin one function into another function where there's an X.\n\ng(f) means use function G and plugin function F to replace the X\n\n1.  g(f)=3-2x f(g)=2(3-x)=6-2x\nI just replaced 2x with x for g(f) and 3-x for x for f(g)\n\nUse this method to figure out the rest.\n\nNotice that it says "x is not equal to whatever".\nThis just states that it will be undefined if it is that number and for now, should be ignored as all problems will have real answers.

Hey,could someone help me solve this problem?  Using Bournolli's equation, solve (dy/dx)+y=e^(x)y^(-2).?

Take y on the other side\n\ny^2 dy/dx + y^3 = e^(x)\nMultiply by 3\n\n3 y^2 dy/dx + 3 y^3 = 3 e^(x)\n\nFirst term is d/dx (y^3)\nHence put z = y^3 and teh equation becomes\ndz/dx + 3z = 3 e^(x)\n\nNow this is in standard form\nMultiply throughout by e^(3x)\n\ne^(3x) dz/dx+ 3 e^(3x) z = 3 e^(4x)\nLHS can be re-written as\n\nd/dx { e^(3x)* z) = 3 e^(4x)\nIntegrate both sides\ne(3x)*z = 3 e^(4x)/4 +C\n\nz = 3/4 e^(4x)*e^(-3x) + C e^(-3x)\n\nSubstitute back for z=y^3

how do you teach fellow classmate on investments?

Know your investment types. Know what your risk factors and types are and then start outlining. Consider your audience's age group and baseline knowledge. \n\nBased on your time constraints plan how much depth you need to cover. For Instance ask yourself if you need just the basics (what are investments? why do people invest? etc.) or should you go into more depth (specific markets and risk factors, equity investments versus debt investments, OTC trading vs Exchange trading, and don't forget real estate, futures, options, forwards, and the rest...)\n\nHope this helps; feel free to email/IM me if you need more guidance (redphoenix_hou@yahoo.com)

If my abs are still very sore from a workout I did 2 days ago, is it safe for me to work out again or wait?

If you are not doing excessively difficult exercises then the best strategy is to work a muscle group hard and then skip a day, so I think it is OK to work out again. If you have an organized exercise program you want to work a muscle group hard and then use different muscle groups the next day to rest your sore muscles. \n\nMore details below.

If someone can't process food in their stomach properly and gets sick when they eat solid food- whats wrong?

Consider maybe a problem with the gallbladder.  Attention might be directed to what kinds of food are causing the problem, i.e., fatty foods, milk products (lactose intolerance).  If it is a problem of diarrhea after eating, this may be the problem.  Maybe eliminating one kind of food at a time might give you a clue to what is causing the problem.  In any case, see your M.D.

Here's a classic:\n\nUsing the following partial deriviatives:\n\nInt(f(x)*g(x))dx = f(x)*G(x) - Int(f'(x)*G(x))dx\n\nwhere G(x): the primitive function of g(x)\n     and f'(x): the derivative of f(x)\n\nNow watch the following 'proof':\n\n    Int(1/x^2 * 2x)dx  =  1/x^2 * x^2 - Int(-2/x^3 * x^2)dx\n           {just take f(x) = 1/x^2 and g(x) = 2x}\n\n    this yields:\n\n    Int(2/x)dx  =  1 - Int(-2/x)dx  = 1 + Int(2/x)dx    \n\n    substracting Int(2/x)dx on both sides yields:\n\n    0 = 1

Warts are typically caused by HPV, human papilloma virus.  In your particular case, being female that is... HPV is also a major cause of Cervical cancer.\n\nIt should clear up after some time... like a month or so.  However, you won't ever truly be rid of the virus... majority of the time that is.  It stays in a latent phase within cells near the warts/lesions it causes.\n\nBut, definately keep vigilant for the possibility of cervical cancer.  Not garaunteed to occur, it depends on what type of HPV you have.  \n\nHowever, cold sores are caused by HSV, herpes simplex virus.  You should also be aware that there is no getting rid of herpes... as of yet.\n\nThere are typically clinics around that you can go to where you are anonymous.  And no it doesn't matter the type of sex... oral or the normal kind.\n\nP.S.\nDon't beat your bf too hard.


Swimmer's ear is an infection of the ear canal. If you stick your finger in your ear, you're feeling a little of the ear canal. But if you have swimmer's ear, and you stick your finger in your ear - YOW! Let's find out more about this painful ear infection, which very often affects swimmers.\n\nSwimmer's ear - sometimes called otitis externa (say: o-tie-tis ek-stur-nuh) - is different from a regular ear infection. Usually, when people say a kid has an ear infection, they mean otitis media (say: me-dee-uh), an infection of the middle ear. This might happen when the kid gets a cold.\n\n\nBut swimmer's ear happens when bacteria grow in the ear canal, which leads to the eardrum. In that canal, you'll find delicate skin that's protected by a thin coating of earwax. Most of the time, water can run in and out of the ear canal without causing a problem. For instance, you don't usually get swimmer's ear from taking baths or showers. \n\nBacteria get a chance to grow when water stays in the ear canal and it washes away the protective coating of earwax. A lot of swimming can wash away that wax protection and lead to these wet conditions in the ear canal. Bacteria grow and the ear canal gets red and swollen. \n\nHow Do I Know if I Have Swimmer's Ear?\nSwimmer's ear may start with some itching, but try not to scratch because this can worsen the infection. Ear pain is the most common sign of swimmer's ear. Even touching or bumping the outside of the ear can hurt. The infection also could make it harder to hear with the infected ear because of the swelling that happens in the ear canal. \n\nIf a doctor thinks you have swimmer's ear, he or she will help you get rid of the infection. To do that, the doctor will probably prescribe eardrops that contain an antibiotic to kill the bacteria. Sometimes, the doctor may use a wick. Not the wick on a candle! This kind of wick is like a little sponge the doctor puts in your ear. The medicine goes into the sponge and it keeps the medicine in contact with the ear canal that's infected.\n\nUse the drops as long as your doctor tells you to, even if your ear starts feeling better. Stopping too soon can cause the infection to come back. If your ear hurts, the doctor may suggest that your parent give you a children's pain medication. This can help you feel better while you're waiting for the antibiotic to work.

Anyone out there know how to get perpetual motion?

There is a perpetual motion machine in the Smithsonian Institute. I creates more energy than it uses.

Is it bad to be gay, and why is it hated in society?

I don't think it is bad, and I am sick of hearing arguments that it is unnatural.  \n\nThere have been many observation by scientists and non-scientists of homosexual behavior in almost all mammals, many birds (like penguins), and even as far down the animal kingdom as spiders.  To argue that it is unnatural is simply to argue from a position of ignorance.\n\nI think gay people are hated because we're different from the majority.  Throughout history many minorities have been hated and persecuted.  The Jews (a minority in almost every society on earth for thousands of years) were almost universally persecuted for just as long.  We have been called evil, sinners, and unnatural.  I don't know how long it will take humans to understand that just because something is different that doesn't make it wrong or evil.\n\nTo quote the words of a very wise philosopher "judge not lest ye be judged."

Brake discs glow red as a result of friction. The brake pads rub on the brake disks and the friction is what causes the vehicle to stop. This friction also in turn causes a great deal of heat to build up and this heat is transfered to the brake discs causing them to glow red. Usually this will only happen in racing vehicles unless there is some problem.


When you truly love someone, I think it is worth the risk that they may not say it back to you. \n\nIt might make you more comfortable if you put that out there by telling him that you are not expecting him to say it back to you, but that you just wanted him to know how you feel. I told my boyfriend this 7 months before he said it to me. I made sure that he knew that I wanted him to say it in his own time and not feel that he had to say it back, or be uncomfortable if he was not at the same level. Then, just be patient. When he does tell you, you will know that it is truly meant from the heart. \n\nAnd who knows? He just may be waiting to know how you feel because he is just as shy as you!\n\nGood luck!

What is time sharing in operating system?

Time-sharing refers to sharing a computing resource among many users by multitasking.\n\nBecause early mainframes and minicomputers were extremely expensive, it was rarely possible to allow a single user exclusive access to the machine for interactive use. But because computers in interactive use often spend much of their time idly waiting for user input, it was suggested that multiple users could share a machine by using one user's idle time to service other users. Similarly, small slices of time spent waiting for disk, tape, or network input could be granted to other users. Computers capable of providing time-sharing services would often operate in batch mode overnight.\n\nThe concept was first described publicly in early 1957 by Bob Bemer as part of an article in Automatic Control Magazine. The first project to implement a time-sharing system was initiated by John McCarthy in late 1957, on a modified IBM 704, and later an additionally modified IBM 7090 computer. Although he left to work on Project MAC and other projects, one of the results of the project, known as the Compatible Time Sharing System or CTSS, was demonstrated in November, 1961. CTSS has a good claim to be the first time-sharing system and remained in use until 1973. The first commercially successful time-sharing system was the Dartmouth Time-Sharing System (DTSS) which was first implemented at Dartmouth College in 1964 and subsequently formed the basis of General Electric's computer bureau services.\n\nOther historical timesharing systems, some of them still in widespread use, include:\n\nIBM CMS (part of VM/CMS) \nIBM TSS/360 (never finished; see OS/360) \nIBM Time Sharing Option (TSO) \nMichigan Terminal System \nMultics \nMUSIC/SP \nWYLBUR \nRSTS/E \nUNIX

how can i find out if dvds have been burned from by computer off of websites if the history has been cleared t

You can open your temporary items folder.  A link to this can be found in your internet tools in internet explorer.  Althought if you suspected burner was slick enough to delete the history, he/she probably deleted these items as well.  If there are many items in your temp internet items folder, check for large ones....a DVD sized movie should be at least several million mb.


The pay scale is different and the clients are different, as well as the required education.  As a counselor you will probably be salaried and work with some sort of institution (schools, prisons, social services, etc.).  As a psychologist you will probably charge by the hour and work in your own office with rich clients that may or may not have serious problems (or you can work with an institution: hospitals, schools, etc. but get paid more).  The length of education required for a master's level and the doctoral level is obviously different.  Perhaps you need to evaluate what your goals are and whether the doctorate is worth the time.

are logic and reason dependent upon belief in order to function effectively?

technically speaking, we use reason and logic before we believe. After all, reason and logic are mental processess which re- or deconstructs information before we accept it. The talibans believe that their code is only logical and reasonable, even if we do not. On the other hand, the theory of evolution is also logical and reasonable based on evidences, but many still do not believe in it. So perhaps, there is a vague line between them. Howver, which will you ACCEPT? believing without logic and reason, or reasoning without believing?

I am fat i admit that but my lage is more fat how can i get this so much fat from my lage?

Do you mean leg?  Well, in any case, you can't lose weight in one specific place unless you have surgery on that body part.  To lose weight, exercise and eat less.


What is the average plant growth per year?

This is too vague a question.  One really needs to know what type of plant or something to give a good answer.  Not all plants grow at the same rate anyway.  Plants at different ages do not grow the same either.


Why can't our president pronounce "nuclear" correctly?

Because he has been promoted to a level just beyond his ability.  You would think that his speech writers would realize by know just what words seem to stump this chump and use terminology that is within the realm of Mr. Bush's linguistic abilities. Oh and the other reason he can not say "nuclear" is because of limited cognative activity... hes a moron.

I like my guy friend but he keeps sending me mixed signals should I move on?

Tell him that you like him but you're getting mixed signals and you need for him to tell you how he feels.  I know it's scary, but even if he says he just wants to be friends he'll stick with you if he really IS your friend!  Either way, it's best to get things out in the open.  You'll be glad that you know and don't have to just wonder all of the time.


It depends on the volcano.\n\nIf magma - molten rock - is erupted it forms new formations when it cools. On the big island of Hawaii, the volcanic eruptions have added a lot of new land to the island.\n\nIf it is a pyroclastic flow - fast, hot gasses and volcanic debris -  like the one that destroyed Pompeii or Mt. St. Helens, there may not be any new land created and the existing land will be radically altered.\n\nIn general, when a land based volcano erupts, the lava and stone and ash build up around the eruption site into a cone shape.\n\nUndersea volcanos spweing lava also build up, but not in a cone shape. Once the hot rock hits water it starts to cool into large pillow-shaped forms.

Another math ?.. Show that for an isosceles right triangle c=a(square root)of 2?

In an isosceles right triangle, sides a and b are equal and c is the hypotenuse.  Pythagorean's Theorum says that a^2 plus b^2 = c^2 for all right triangles.  here, a and b are equal, so you can say 2(a^2)=c^2.  If you want to solve for c, you find that c = a(rad2)

How come my penis becomes SUPER sensitive?

In general you can decrease the sensibility if you are just able to keep your glans penis (head) always opened. It's to say with the skin of the head on, so to keep the glans penis always exposed and in contact with the pants. It's hard to reach but a good way for hygiene and even to have longest act with the time!

the stock market crash of 1929,what really happened during that time period?

People invested heavily with borrowed money and insider trading was out of control....so they say.  When the stock market chucked, none of the banks could get their money back because none of the investors had the money to do it.  People rushed to the bank to take out any money they had.  People who had money in the bank couldn't even get it back because the banks had loaned it out to investors.  There were no rules like we have today against some of these shady procedures.  There was no social security or public aid to help out the old/poor people.  Also, I don't think your money was insured by the bank like it is today.

Is there any way to keep a real relationship with a married daughter who has kids?

Well, maintaining a sexual relationship with your daughter is frowned upon to begin with, but if she is married now you just have to let her go.


****OK Guys, this one is a hard one!! LETS SEE WHAT YA'LL CAN DO!*****?

It looks to me, that when he got 'bored' with you he had no problem letting you go. Now, he is probably 'bored' again and seeing how you are making a life for yourself may want to get back with you and probably use you.\n\nI think that since you manage to live a whole year without him, you are better off like that. It looks like he likes to use woman, do not let him...

do i have to be rude with my gf to make her feel that im tough?

Hi,\nNo! You can be "tough" if you are a hard worker, good father, good companion. If you are wanting to be "tough" maybe choose a "sport" you like. Join a team of something you enjoy. Also, Church (preferably non-denominational) Christian is a good place to find a mens group. The word of God is filled with men, Jesus was a tough man , He died for you. He knows who you are, and he loves you and wants you to know that He wants to forgive you of your sins and come into your heart. Be happy with who you God made you, I am sure your girlfriend loves you.

what does the abbreviation ( sic ) after a word with questionable spelling mean?

It's used when the author is quoting someone else to let the reader know the misspelled word (or grammatical error) was by the person being quoted and not a mistake on the part of the author.  For example:\n\nThough most researchers agree, Graham stated in his paper _Diverse Investing_, that "the whisdom (sic) of such investing is questionable."\n\nor\n\nNewly elected Mayor Edmund Jones said "The voters has (sic) made their choice."\n\nWhile most folks leave it out of friendly conversation on message boards when including quotes, it's useful in more serious writing to indicate you, as the author, didn't make the error.


Do you think people have forgotten what terrorists do?

Dear, \nI am very grateful for your kind contact. My question’s hading was War against Terrorism.\nI strongly condemn terrorists, they are causing great lose of innocent lives. So very person who has a soft corner in its heart for terrorist may be also called terrorist. \n\nI respect your opinion, everybody should fight against terrorism. I believe Americans are most cultured and well mannered people, you talked me in a different way? If you do not agree my point of view, we can discuss that. But you threat me to hit my country? Everybody surely loves its country, and Pakistan is playing a vital role in removing terrorism and is a front line fighter against terrorism. \n\nBut on the other hand can you justify the deaths of innocent child and innocent peoples, we are also humans.\n\nIf you think somebody is performing any task which is not right, and then you should prove that he is criminal, if proving without that, you take any action, any decision by your self, and the whole world protest against this, so you should review your act.\n\nIf we want to live a peaceful life we should remove the cause of terrorism. Otherwise you threat, so be informed nobody can remove terrorism by force. We know how to defend our country; you can buy only few people but not whole nation.\n\nAnyhow thank you for your opinion. \nLooking for your reply.\nSincerely \n\nImran

How does one reduce tummy(abdomen)?will spot reduction (doing crunches) work or  do rope jumping or jogging?

there is no such thing as "spot reduction"- the body does not lose fat that way.  exercising a body part does not cause it to lose fat in that part.  the body loses fat in the reverse order it put it on- and that is an individual feature of everyone's body.  Now, you could strengthen/grow the muscles of the abdomen, and that might change the overall appearance of that area (maybe stretch here, contract there) but that's it.

Apoptosis is characterized by maintenance of intact cell membranes during the suicide process so as to allow adjacent cells to engulf the dying cell so that it does not release its contents and trigger a local inflammatory reaction. Cells undergoing apoptosis usually exhibit a characteristic morphology, including fragmentation of the cell into membrane-bound apoptotic bodies, nuclear and cytoplasmic condensation and endolytic cleavage of the DNA into small oligonucleosomal fragments (Steller, 1995). The cells or fragments are then phagocytosed by macrophages.\n\nSignals that can trigger apoptosis can include\n\nlineage information \ndamage due to ionizing radiation or viral infection \nextracellular signals. \nExtrinsic signals may either suppress or promote apoptosis, and the same signals may promote survival in one cell type and invoke the suicide program in others (Steller, 1995). For example, death receptors that are members of the tumour necrosis factor receptor (TNFR) family sit in cell membranes, but their intracellular domains have direct access to the cell death machinery that lies ready and waiting within the cell (Ashkenazi and Dixit, 1998). When members of the TNF ligand family bind to their receptors some of the pathways activated can include those that bring about cell death. Conversely, there are other factors, such as the neurotrophins, that bind to cell surface receptors and which act to prevent cell death!\n\nInvocation of the suicide program involves the synthesis of specific messenger RNA molecules and their translation. PCD can sometimes be suppressed by inhibiting transcription or translation (Steller, 1995), which provides evidence that cell death is mediated by intrinsic cellular mechanisms.\n\nI'm interested in life! Why do I want to think about death?\nCell death is currently the subject of considerable research activity. This interest stems, in part, from the potential for understanding oncogenesis and the possibility of exploiting the cell death program for therapeutic purposes. For example, inhibition of cell death might contribute to oncogenesis by promoting cell survival instead of death. Likewise, triggering cell death might provide the means for eliminating unwanted cells (e.g., tumor cells).\n\nWhat on Earth has death got to do with development?\nRecognition of PCD as a developmental mechanism dates back well over 100 years (Clark and Clark, 1996; this is an excellent account of old descriptions of "apoptosis" before there was "apoptosis"). Developmental processes that involve PCD include:\n\nElimination of transitory organs and tissues. Examples include phylogenetic vestiges (pronephros and mesonephros in higher vertebrates), anuran tails and gills and larval organs of holometabolous insects. \n\nTissue remodeling. Vertebrate limb bud development (Fig. 11.42, Saunders, 1982; Fig. 1, Saunders, 1966) is an example. If PCD fails, in formation of the digits, digits remain joined by soft tissue. Compare, for example, the situation in the chick and duck hind limbs. If chick limb mesoderm is combined with duck ectoderm, PCD fails and the digits remain joined (Saunders, 1966). This observation implicates the ectoderm in providing the signal to trigger PCD. Another example is formation of heart loops during vertebrate development. Depletion of cells in spinal ganglia occurs during development of the chick embryo. As shown in Table 11.1 (Saunders, 1982), there is precise chronological and spatial control over this process. Interestingly, injections of nerve growth factor reduce the frequency of cell death in the spinal ganglia. This observation provides a link between growth control and PCD.

Have you ever bin to paris and if so what did you think of it.?

I just got back from Paris and Versailles a couple days ago. I have to say that I wish I could spend more time there. It was wonderful. The only problem, for tourists, are the peddlers on the streets trying to get you to buy really cheap stuff. Outside The Louvre, there are guys who make a bracelet on your finger and distract you while others pickpocket you.\n\nBut like I said, other then that there are a lot of cool things to see. The foods not so bad, either. The sucre crepe and ice cream I had was a great dessert, not to mention other things. I'd recommend it.

I have 1 clean credit card & 1 with a balance pd. on for 5 yrs. Will tranfer to3rd card improve credit score?

I dont think it will improve your score.  The more account you have open or active even if there is no balance on them reflects if you are a risk for credit or not.  If you want to transfer, try to transfer to a credit card that has a 0% interest rate for one year, then call your other credit card companies and tell them you no longer want the credit card to close the account. Then when that year is up with the 0% try to transfer to another 0% for one year and close the previous card that will now carry an interset rate.  See this way you can pay off your credit card debt without paying interest.

What do I do, when my little sister will NOT leave me alone???

Hi Kimmy,\n  Usually it means that she wants attention. Try this the next time she starts to bother you. Say to her "Wow I never realized how pretty your eyes (hair, lips,skin) are, let me fix it up more for you," then proceed to put some make up on her or brush her hair for a few minutes. You'll be amazed how quite she will get.\n  If that does not work you should ask your mom & dad if you can trade her in for a dog.

How many girls out there are jealous of other girls b/c they are prettier or skinnier than themselves?

It is natural to feel the need to have features that other people possess, especially in a world in which people discriminate based on their ideas of beauty. Because majority of social groups agree on the waif appearance of girls (for now, atleast), then many people succumb to the jealousy and desire to be like that too.\n\nI used to want the appearance of a model. That was until my boyfriend made me realize that I am merely conforming to what society wants and not what he and I truly desire.


If you use profanity enough, it starts to become a habit, and they just slip without you even meaning to say so - I know because I occasionally finding myself cursing in rather inappropriate situations.\n\nAlthough I'm not a fan of overused profanity, it can sometimes be a very good way of expressing a tremendous amount of anger in a clear, succinct way that doesn't involve either going off on a 20-minute-rant or throwing anything.

What is Ayurveda? What are some good websites and books on Ayurveda?

I loved your answer to this question:\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=ApozKxetWXgNIOPS_GOTwG_sy6IX?qid=1006022807364\n\n;)  I just wanted to tell you I really liked that.\n\nI don't know too much about ayurveda, but I do know that you can sometimes find a "watered down" version of it.  So if you want the more authentic ayurveda, you should probably look on Hindu websites.  Ayurveda is the science of life, and is believed to have been given by God.  \nIt considers peoples' individual make-up instead of treating everyone the same.  It acknowledges different body types and does not ignore the spiritual element to sickness and healing.

structured cabling network?  how do fiber optic cable work in the structured cabling network?

Fiber optic cables offer two big advantages over traditional copper in a network:  they are immune to electromagntic interference, and they can run much much further than copper without needing repeaters.  The bigest two disadvantages to fiber are that they are more expensive, and that the standards are still evolving.\n\nBoth of those disadvantages are going away, though, meaning that I strongly believe fiber is going to completely replace copper eventually.  Right now, many companies are "future proofing" by running fiber along with copper in walls so that if they need to upgrade to fiber in the future, it is already part of thier structured network.  Also, major backbones, either running between campuses or even just between wings or floors of a building are now more and more fiber only, because it just makes sense when you're already paying so much money to set up the backbone.\n\nThe source below is a tutorial on my company's website giving more details about fiber.

Alligators have a broader, more square snout, crocodiles have a more narrow snout.  Crocodiles also have many more teeth, up to two extra rows to be axact!  Many times, they can be seen when the croc's mouth is closed.  Both species of animals can be found in fresh or salt water, but the alligator is found most often in freshwater. Adult crocs can range in length from 8 to 25 feet, depending on the species, while alligators range from 4 - 20ft.

Which two elements are most common in minerals?

Even though there are 92 elements that are naturally found, only eight of them are common in the rocks that make up the Earth’s outer layer, the crust. Together, these 8 elements make up more than 98% of the crust. \n\nThe 8 most common elements in Earth’s crust: \n46.6% Oxygen (O)\n27.7% Silica (Si)\n8.1% Aluminum (Al)\n5.0% Iron (Fe)\n3.6% Calcium (Ca)\n2.8% Sodium (Na)\n2.6% Potassium (K)\n2.1% Magnesium (Mg)\n\nThe picture on the left shows where these elements are located within the periodic table. Together, the elements oxygen and silica make up most of the Earth’s crust and these two elements are the ingredients for Earth’s most common mineral, quartz.

The purpose of communication is to get your message across to others. This is a process that involves both the sender of the message and the receiver. This process leaves room for error, with messages often misinterpreted by one or more of the parties involved. This causes unnecessary confusion and counter productivity.\n\nBy successfully getting your message across, you convey your thoughts and ideas effectively. When not successful, the thoughts and ideas that you convey do not necessarily reflect your own, causing a communications breakdown and creating roadblocks that stand in the way of your goals – both personally and professionally.


It's about an older couple in a care facility; the woman has Alzheimer's disease, and the man reads to her, again and again, from a book.  The book is the story of how two young people met, fell in love, became separated, and were eventually reunited.  The movie moves between flashbacks of the book and conversations with the older couple.  To tell more would reveal the end of the movie.\n\nIt's a pretty romantic film, but I enjoy it mostly because of Gena Rowlands and James Garner, who play the older couple.  Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams are also excellent as the young couple.

The question is would you need to start withdrawing from the 403b when you retire in a few years? While contributing to the 403b would allow you to defer taxes on the income now, you wouldn't have very long to let those savings compound and you wouldn't want to allocate your assets within the 403b very aggresively unless you are able to let the funds sit for several years after retirement.\n\nRemember, also, that you would incur penalties on any withdrawals prior to age 59 1/2 from your 403b. Additionally, many 403b programs use  Tax Sheltered Annuities as the investment chassis. These annuities may have surrender charges assessed on withdrawals during the first several years after investing. \n\nIf you do decide to go ahead with the 403b, make sure you read the prospectus and all related info, especially in regards to withdrawal charges.


How do i make an itunes smart playlist that only adds new music without deleting older songs?

Instead of using "Last Played .. is in the last .. 15 days", use "Last Played .. is after .. 17/12/2005" replacing 17/12/2005 with the date that you want to use (15 days from when you made the playlist, or 15 days from today).

Try checking with your local Small Business Administration office (www.sba.gov). The SBA is a wealth of information. Also try talking with (or interning with) some boutique owners in your area.

how do weak soils modify earthquake action to buildings?

Cool and important to know!\n\nWeak soils just means earth which can't support much of a load. In some cases it is because the soil is not hard-packed. Or sometimes it is what the soil, is made from, sand, loam, peat, mud, clay, gravel, or just too much water.\n\nWhen a certain type of quake hits a weak soil, it can cause it to sort of liquefy like quick-sand. Landslides can happen on a sloping area. And anything built on it is badly damaged or partially sinks. Hey it's like building a card house on a water bed and then sitting on the edge  of the bed. Kablam! No more card house.\n\nCheck out the Google links below to see the devastation of weak soil liquefaction.

Does saying "Kitchykitchykoo" while tickling increase your level of ticklishness?

It can increase the anxiety you feel that causes the laughing and squirming and uncomfortable feeling you have when someone tickles you. You associate that word with the uncomfortable feelings of being tickled in the past. Almost like a flashback from past experiences.

It is a phrase I first read in Bill Mauldin's books. He was the most famous cartoonist in WWII and his books will give you a wonderful "grunt-level" picture of the war in Europe. The term is a combination of "garrison" and "paratrooper".\n\nThe cartoon, as I recall, had three soldiers. In the back was an unshaven soldier sitting at a table in an outdoor cafe, getting drunk. \n\nIn the foregraound was a neat, shaven soldier in a tie and a dirty, unkempt combat infantryman, obviously just back from the front lines. The neat one was explaining to the combat one, "We call them garret troopers; they're stationed too far forward to wear a tie and too far back to get shot."

what is the fastest street ligal car in the world? how fast does it go?

the fastest I know of would be the Bugatti Veyron 16.4.  they are handbuilt with a 1001 Euro (987 SAE) horsepower, 8.0 liter quad-turbo DOHC 64-valve W-16 engine with 7-speed auto-clutch manual transmission, and tops out at 250+ mph.  in the 7th gear, the car gets less than 3 mpg.  a second key is required to program the engine into "top-speed" mode, where you can go 0-250 in less than 60 seconds.  an air-brake is required to take the car down from 250+ to 160 mph, and the audio system alone costs US$30,000.  a deposit of 350,000 is required to place an order, for a final cost of about $1.25 million.  it will be available in the US about summer 2006, and was recently featured in the January 2006 issue of Motor Trend magazine.

did the prophet Mohammed advise his followers to act violently towards people who refused to convert to Islam?

As I understand it islam states that the 'infidel' shall meet their fate at the hands of allah after death. The encouragement of violence towards them is a relatively recent thing created by extremist elements who have broken away from true islam. If islam is correct, then it is these extremists who will be judged most harshly by their god for choosing not to disbelieve, but to change the teachings of the koran to suit their own twisted desires.


What are the name of the parts of a drum set???

The two cymbals on a stand with the foot pedal is the high-hat.  The drum with the springs on the  bottom is the snare.  One or two tom-toms are usually mounted on top of the bass which is the big drum on the floor with the kicker pedal.  Another larger tom-tom is on the floor standing upright.  The big cymbal above that tom is called a ride.  Lastly, there may be a few crash cymbals mounted above the kit.


Hey!  Glad to hear you're interested in robots! \nSince you're just starting out, I'd recommend the BOE-Bot (Radio Shack sells it for $150) from Parallax, Inc.  I built that when I was starting and it tought me a lot of the basics.  If that is a little above your budget, I'd recommend the Build Your Own Robot Kit.  It's pretty simple to build, and it has a socket to add a Parallax (first link) BASIC Stamp II, a programmable microcontroller.\n\nI'd recommend 2 good books that should help you get started;\nRobot Building for Dummies, by Roger Arrick\nRobot Building for Beginners, by David Cook\n\nYou should also consider joining the Robotics Club of Yahoo! (second link), they can answer pretty much any question you have regarding robotics. \n\nIf you would like more info, I'd be glad to help you... just e-mail me (my e-mail is my username, at yahoo.com)


If a 1000 lb brown bear&1000 lb siberian tiger fight who would win?Since they live together this must happen.?

The largest brown bear in the world is the Kodiak bear, attaining a weight of 1,600 pounds and ten feet in height as it rears up to fight. Siberian tigers do not weigh 1,000 pounds. They max out around 650 pounds and are 13 feet long including the tail, the body is 9 feet. Neither animal would want to test the strength of the other so any encounter would probably result in a stalement with both animals not wanting to get hurt and moving along. But the bear is a more powerful animal and would beat a tiger in my opinion.

i dont know what BioGeek is talking about but as far as i know phylum bryophyta refers to mosses\n\nBryophytes used to be classified as three classes of a single phylum, Bryophyta. Modern texts, however, now assign each class to its own phylum: Mosses (Bryophyta), Liverworts (Hepatophyta), and Hornworts (Anthoceraphyta). This reflects the current taxonomic wisdom that the Liverworts and Hornworts are more primitive and only distantly related to Mosses and other plants.

How do you feel about the direction this country is headed.?

Well, first of all don't expect honor or respect out of the past administrations that you have seen. Regardless of party affiliation, there has been covert projects going that lead me to believe that there is no direction for this country, we change every day. We can change the direction right now, all we have to do is use our minds instead of being told what to think. When is the last time that you took every 30 second blip on the news and tried to investigate all sides to every story. May be surprised on what you find out sometimes, believe in yourself, think for yourself. Live free always!

How many people have dreamed they were going to the bathroom and in all actuality they were peeing the bed?

My EX actually did something like that. lol. Real funny story. He was drunk and had came to my house and stayed the night with me. He had woke up/slept walk and peed in another place besides the bathroom. NOT THE BED EITHER. Anyways he got up as if he was going to the bathroom at his house. He had walked into my closet and pulled his pants down and peed all over the floor. I was so P***ed off. I tried waking him up and he wouldnt. I was so mad that I cried and wouldnt talk to him for a few days. I finally agreed to talk with him. We figured out that from the distance and turns from my bed to the closet was the SAME exact way from his bed to his bathroom at home. I was so upset!!! We laughed about it forever.


please may i have a few reasons saying why it is always best to tell the truth?

1) you never have to remember who you told the truth to.\n2) you never have to worry about the truth being found out.\n3) if you always tell the truth people trust you more at least after they get over the fact that you always tell the truth\nbut just be clear every one lies once in a while mostly its to prevent others from felling bad. like when some ones asks does this make me look fat. they probably do not want a real answer but want someone to say no you look beautiful. \ni try to be honest with everyone i meet but sometimes it doesnt go over to well. no one wants to hear they are wrong but someone has to tell them.

If you attended a youth group, or you still do, how did it affect you?

I had a great time as a teen going to youth group activities both at my own church and my friends' churches. I never felt like I had to do anything immoral or illegal to have a good time. I learned a lot about the Bible and my relationship with God was nurtured and strenghthened. Pairing off was never a big concern for me because I was a late bloomer and guys weren't that interested in me. \n\nThere were so many things I got to do. Hay rides with hot chocolate made by church ladies waiting when we got back. Silly camp songs. Canoing. Playing hide and seek at night. Lock-ins. Movies. I don't know. Maybe I'm just easy to please and have fun doing most anything. \n\nThe youth pastors that made a big impact on my life were kind, genuine, honest people. They lived what they taught and took their faith seriously, but knew how to have fun. Keep up the good work. It really does make a difference.


Or you can make a dynamic mike with a strip of tinfoil suspended between the poles of a strong magnet; only puts out a few millivolts so needs lots of amplification.  Or use the old telephone mike technique, a bunch of carbon particles pressed lightly together in an insulating case with metal end caps; this behaves like a variable resistance so you need to connect it to a DC source and amplify the voltage changes across it.  Or you could get really ambitious and make a condenser mike; but this one's extra tricky to implement since you need two parallel metal plates, one rigid and the other foil; bias them with a high voltage from a high impedance source, amplify the output.


You cannot get rid of a cold, a cold is a virus, and you cannot get rid of viruses. What you CAN do though, is make yourself feel better and maybe make it last a little less time. Rest (this does not mean you have to be in bed all day every day, that's just crazy and I could NEVER do that), drink a LOT of fluids so that you can wash out all that mucus, and eat or drink citrucy stuff... it has vitamin c AND it makes you feel a lot better... at least I do. Oh, yeah, if you can get some homemade (from scratch) chicken soup. I always make it when I have a cold, and that warm clean chicken and veggie flavor is the BEST, it makes me feel a LOT better. Good luck!


someone tell me inlaymans terms, why it is impossible for physical objects to travel at the speed of light?

Here are two explanations (neither particularly satisfying I will tell  you in advance.)\n\nThe first is that the speed of light (in a vaccuum) is a property of the universe that is measured the same by everyone, regardless of their motion relative to anyone else. This is a true statement born out by experiment, but it implies some very weird stuff.  One is that distance and time are not measured the same by people in relative motion.  Another is that you can never get closer to a beam of light going away from you (i.e. go faster than the speed of light).  If you could, you would measure the speed of light differently than someone else, and you would be special.  The basic idea behind relativity is that, with regard to the laws of physics, no one is special.  \n\nThe second unsatisfying answer is E=mc^2.  In order to go faster, you have to accelerate.  Acceleration takes energy, and an accelerating body has more mass than a body in a constant state of motion (increase E in that equation m has go up, because c is the constant speed of light).  It just so happens that the mass doesn't go up in proportion to the rate of acceleration, but in relationship to how close you are to the speed of light.  Everytime you halve the distance between your speed and the speed of light, your mass doubles, and the amount of effort needed to get that next bit of acceleration doubles.  Getting to the speed of light would require infinite energy.


What and when was the first product advertised on television?

July 1, 1941 W2XBS New York NY becomes a commercial station, changes call to WNBT (later calls WRCA-TV, WNBC-TV). At 1:29 p.m., General Mills sponsors a Brooklyn Dodgers-Philadelphia Phillies game, followed by the "Sunoco Newscast" with Lowell Thomas. At 9:15 p.m., "Uncle Jims Question Bee," hosted by Bill Slater and sponsored by Spry, made its one-and-only appearance and, at 9:30, Ralph Edwards hosted "Truth Or Consequences," simulcast on radio and TV and sponsored by Ivory Soap. This was the first game show broadcast on TV. The world's first (legal) TV commercial for Bulova watches occurs at 2:29:10 superimposed over a test pattern. According to a 2004 article in Newsday: "On July 1, 1941, the world's first television commercial aired on NBC, at that time known as WNBT-TV. The 10-second advertisement for Bulova clocks and watches consisted of the image of a clock and a map of the United States, with a voice-over that announced, 'America runs on Bulova time.' The ad was broadcast before a game between the Brooklyn Dodgers and the Philadelphia Phillies and cost the Woodside-based company less than ten dollars." [According to microfiche records at the FCC, WNBT was granted a C.P. on 6/17/41 for Channel 1 (50-56 mhz.), effective 7/1/41. License to cover the C.P. granted 6/17/41, eff. 7/1/41. First operation was granted to be effective 7/1/41. The first listed call letters were WNBT. They changed to WRCA on 10/18/54 and to WNBC on 5/22/60.]


How to analyze Credit Proposal? What ratios could we use?

There are number of things that are taken into consideration besides ratios while assessing a credit proposal .  I am specifically referring to ratios since stress has been laid on it.  If the business is already started , the trends are gathered .   In such cases , the important ratios seen are [a] Debt Equity Ratio [b] Current Ratio [c] Gross Profit Margin Ratio to name a few .   There are about 30 ratios which can be studied .   However , I have mentioned only a few .  After ratios are calculated , they are compared with other businesses who are in the same line .   Thereafter , the partners/directors' ability to run the business profitably is studied .  It is also gathered as to whether there is demand for the said product .   Finally it is also seen as to how much you are able to contribute --it is called margin .  Further security aspect is also looked into .  At the time of processing a proposal , it is not only the ratios but a number of other things that are also studied .


Where did all the water go after the great flood of noahs ark.?

muromets is correct. You can model this yourself using clay. On a cookie sheet, put a half inch of water. On top, put a 1/2 layer of rolled clay. This is what the earth was liked pre-flood. The earth was watered from below. Now break open the center and the water will burst forth (as Genesis describes) and now the clay is covered by the water as the clay sinks. Now pull the clay out toward the corners and the water will display into seas.\nIn order for the continental drift to occur properly, the earth would have had to expand, thus making physics of the covering of the earth with water and its later displacement to be quite possible.


What colleges offer special help to students with learning disabilities?

Most state colleges and universities offer reasonable accommodations for students with disabilities, including learning disabilities.

why dont we have civillian real time sattilite photos?

Almost all real-time sattilites are owned by the Military.  They don't want to share their technology with the general public.  They have a vested interest to protect their capibilities.  There hasn't been enough commercial demand for real time photos.  Plus, realtime only works when the sattelite is directly overhead.  Consumer users would have no control over what they see, or how far they zoom in, ect.

Can someone please convert 4,948,600 KB to MB and GB for me?

The other answers here are conflicting because of the differences in kilobytes (KB) and kibibytes (KiB). 1 KB = 1000 bytes and 1 KiB = 2^20 bytes = 1024 bytes. But this was recently redefined by the computer hardware industry in order to reduce confusion among consumers. As of a few years ago, there were no KiB, and 1 KB used to equal 1024 bytes.\n\nSo currently, the answer is 4948.6 MB and 4.9486 GB. But a few years ago it would've been 4832.6 MB and 4.72 GB. This is why people get confused.
