What happens to water if you compress it more and more and more... (It can't just disappear)?

Water is nearly incompressible.  Even at the greatest depth of the ocean (about seven miles deep in the Mariana trench) the volume of a cubic foot of water changes almost nil from surface to sea bottom.  This is of course in stark contrast with gas or air that is highly compressible.\n\nWater is nearly incompressible because the individual molecules are liquid and already packed closely together whereas a gas can expand or contract to exactly fill its container.\n\nPushing water molecules closer together meets with the repulsive force of the electrons that are all negatively charged and need their own space.  Consider two parking lots where the cars are parked normally in one but bumper-to-bumper and side-to-side in the other.  Into which lot could the parking attendant add more cars (if he had all the keys)?\n\nElsewhere in the universe there are stars that are so massive that their gravitational fields collapse and compress all material into a huge globe filled only with neutrons - thus a neutron star.  Here water would be compressed to its ultimate limit and would be indistinguishable from all other matter.  The star would weigh tons per teaspoon (but would expand if brought to earth).  Also consider that atoms stripped of electrons repulse each other because the nuclei are composed of neutrons and protons and have a net positive charge.  Pushing hydrogen atoms close enough to fuse requires the enormous pressure and temperature found naturally only deep within the sun (and other stars).

When someone deposits a check to their bank it gets "cleared" on two sides, your bank being one and their bank being the other.\n\nWhat happens is his bank sends your check (or possibly an electronic copy these days due to the Check 21 law) to your bank for payment.  Your bank then credits his bank the funds through the Federal Reserve.  His bank would then credit his account the amount of the check.\n\nDepending on the funds availability policies of their bank it is possible that the funds were deducted from your account by your bank and held by the recipient's bank for several more days.\n\nThat being said, a 14 day hold is very unlikely.  Even from the 12th to the 21st is a long float period.


How did the ideal view of BEAUTY become so limited?

Because people in the media have no imagination, and people outside the media decide that what is shown in the media must be the "IDEAL VIEW OF BEAUTY".\n\nBut it's BS.  What you see in on TV is the lowest common denominator, not the ideal.  Make-up?  They are designed to appeal to women's concept of what they want to look at when they look in the mirror.  Models?  My Mom told me that she wouldn't buy something that made the model look fat.  Models are chosen to make clothes look good so that clothes sell, not on any ideal of beauty.\n\nEven suggesting that there is a beauty "ideal" is limiting.  That says that there is only one way to be beautiful.  And you and I know that isn't true at all.

I know for a fact that AMD is much better than Intel! AMD's processors run a lot faster and cooler. A cooler running processor is important. Not only does it mean that AMD processors have a faster clock speed than comparable Intel products but AMDs also have a longer life expectancy as well. Plus AMD costs quite a bit less than their Intel counterparts. \nAMD is also ahead on the technology curve as well. They were the first company to introduce the 64-bit PC processor many months ahead of Intel’s 64-bit processor.  This is why I believe that AMD will possibly out live Intel.\nI've had both brands and nobody can even come close AMD’s speed and power! I am running a newer AMD Sempron 3000+ with 512 MB of memory and Windows 2000 Professional SP4 for my operating system and this combination works great.\nFrom now on AMD, is the only processor for me. This is just my honest opinion. And no, I do not work for or get any gratuity from AMD for saying this.

why 911 is considered as the emergency number?

In 1967, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) met with AT&T to establish such an emergency number. They wanted a number that was short and easy to remember. More importantly, they needed a unique number, and since 911 had never been designated for an office code, area code or service code, that was the number they chose.\n\nSoon after, the U.S. Congress agreed to support 911 as the emergency number standard for the nation and passed legislation making 911 the exclusive number for any emergency calling service. A central office was set up by the Bell System to develop the infrastructure for the system.\n\nOn February 16, 1968, Alabama Senator Rankin Fite made the first 911 call in the United States in Haleyville, Alabama. The Alabama Telephone Company carried the call. A week later, Nome, Alaska, implemented a 911 system. In 1973, the White House's Office of Telecommunication issued a national statement supporting the use of 911 and pushed for the establishment of a Federal Information Center to assist government agencies in implementing the system. \n\nView my source for more detailed information on this topic...


The iPod plays MPEG-4 files with either the basic MPEG-4 video codec or the more advanced H.264 codec. The standard way to do this is using QuickTime Pro which a serial you buy for QuickTime Player that enables import/export/file conversions between many formats.

if Wicca is the religion of the earth long before Christ, is it really bad?

Your question (part of it anyway) is pretty much your answer. "...as projected by the church" says it all.\n\nThe earlier response that Raymond M posted clearly shows Christianity's intolerance of Wicca based on lack of familiarity of any opposing viewpoint, as well as an unwillingness to listen. People like Raymond really scare me. Not because of his faith, but rather his comdemnation of other faiths and the people that follow them. Honestly, have you ever heard of anyone being killed by a fallen angel? \n\nHmmm...maybe if the angel actually landed on you at the end of his fall...but I digress.\n\nIn order for a new religion to gain a majority following (Christianity was new at the time, remember?), it usually has to discredit the existing religions, to make people feel like they're doing the right thing by converting. The easiest example is how Christianity, or at least some denominations of Christianity, demonizes Earth-based religions (Wicca included) by saying it is the work of the devil. There really is no evidence to support either side, other than each religion's own sacred texts, which of course will always support their respective religions. It's not limited to just Christianity vs. Wicca. Many religions are not very tolerant of each other. In fact, it's difficult (but not impossible) to find a religion that is totally tolerant of other religions.\n\nThink of it like a presidential election. The candidates usually try to point out each others' flaws in order to gain votes for themselves. Rarely do they try to get elected based on their own merit. \n\nI don't think there is one answer that will fit everyone for this question. Probably the best thing to do is to study a religion, either by research on the internet, or by attending a service or two, or by talking to people who follow that religion. Better yet, do all of those. Then make a choice on your own as to whether a religion is "good" or "bad" for you. A great place to start is: http://www.religioustolerance.org\n\nMy advice is to follow whatever religion(s) provide you with personal and spritual enrichment. Follow more than one if it fulfills you. Just make sure that your choice is YOURS. \n\nIt's one thing for someone to say why a religion is wrong for themselves; quite another for them to say why a religion is wrong for everyone else. \n\nGood luck to you...


is there any care or prevention for demintia or alzymers disease?

I have heard that using your brain more can help delay or prevent Alzheimers, though not scientifically proven. Puzzles like Mensa, Soduku, brain teasers may help.\n\nEfforts to find effective treatments for Alzheimer's after-the-fact have so far been disappointing. Age is the primary risk factor for Alzheimer's. The baby boom is approaching its golden years. Indeed, much of the concern about the solvency of governmental social safety nets is founded on estimates of the costs of caring for baby boomers, assuming that they develop Alzheimer's in the same proportions as earlier generations.\n\nOne study ("Leisure Activities and the Risk of Dementia in the Elderly," New England Journal of Medicine [8]) found that people who played chess on a regular basis went on to get Alzheimer's at a substantially lower rate than the general population. The chess relationship was stronger than any other factor, including dancing and solving crossword puzzles, both of which were also shown to be inversely proportional to getting Alzheimer's disease.\n\nIn a number of retrospective studies, regular physical exercise has appeared to be inversely related to the development of Alzheimer’s. The Alzheimer's risk of those exercising regularly was half that of the least active. This research is consistent with the observation that virtually all measures designed to promote cardiac fitness and reduce stroke risk also seem to reduce Alzheimer's risk. However in one study, dance appeared to be the only exercise effective in reducing risk. One explanation is that dancing requires the use of complex mental skills such as performing correct steps while at the same time keeping track of the music. The presence of cardiovascular risk factors -- diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol and smoking -- in middle age (ages 40 to 44) was found very strongly associated with late-life dementia (Neurology 2005;64:277-281. PMID 15668425).

What should I look for in a boarding/skiing jacket/shell?

A waterproof inner pocket will be good for the MP3 player. Most higher end jackets should have something like this by now. My HHansen jacket has one with a little mark saying its specifically for phones/gadgets.\n\nHaving a waistband that is elastic and snaps up is the best way to keep snow out of your jacket. I'm not talking about the 80s style jackets that came tight at the bottom, I'm just talking about an inner band that keeps snow from flying up into your jacket. When you look at a jacket you'll see what I'm talking about.\n\nAnother thing to keep you dry is the little sock things on the sleves of the jacket. There is usually room for your thumb and fingers to go through (like a glove) and they keep snow from going up your arms in case you loose a glove or have some seperation.\n\nEnjoy the hills!

It is now generally accepted that HIV is a descendant of a Simian Immunodeficiency Virus because certain strains of SIVs bear a very close resemblance to HIV-1 and HIV-2, the two types of HIV.\n\nHIV-2 for example corresponds to SIVsm, a strain of the Simian Immunodeficiency Virus found in the sooty mangabey (also known as the green monkey), which is indigenous to western Africa.\n\nThe more virulent strain of HIV, namely HIV-1, was until recently more difficult to place. Until 1999, the closest counterpart that had been identified was SIVcpz, the SIV found in chimpanzees. However, this virus still had certain significant differences from HIV.\n\nIt has been known for a long time that certain viruses can pass between species. Indeed, the very fact that chimpanzees obtained SIV from two other species of ape shows just how easily this crossover can occur. As animals ourselves, we are just as susceptible. When a viral transfer between animals and humans takes place, it is known as zoonosis.\n\nBelow are some of the most common theories about how this 'zoonosis' took place, and how SIV became HIV in humans:\n\nThe 'Hunter' Theory  \nThe most commonly accepted theory is that of the 'hunter'. In this scenario, SIVcpz was transferred to humans as a result of chimps being killed and eaten or their blood getting into cuts or wounds on the hunter. Normally the hunter's body would have fought off SIV, but on a few occasions it adapted itself within its new human host and become HIV-1. The fact that there were several different early strains of HIV, each with a slightly different genetic make-up (the most common of which was HIV-1 group M), would support this theory: every time it passed from a chimpanzee to a man, it would have developed in a slightly different way within his body, and thus produced a slightly different strain.\n\nAn article published in The Lancet in 20043, also shows how retroviral transfer from primates to hunters is still occurring even today. In a sample of 1099 individuals in Cameroon , they discovered to ten (1%) were infected with SFV (Simian Foamy Virus), an illness which, like SIV, was previously thought only to infect primates. All these infections were believed to have been acquired through the butchering and consumption of monkey and ape meat. Discoveries such as this have lead to calls for an outright ban on bushmeat hunting to prevent simian viruses being passed to humans.\n\nThe Oral Polio Vaccine (OPV) theory\n \nCould production of the oral polio vaccine have contributed to the spread of HIV?\nSome other rather controversial theories have contended that HIV was transferred iatrogenically (i.e. via medical experiments). One particularly well-publicised idea is that polio vaccines played a role in the transfer.\n\nIn his book, The River, the journalist Edward Hooper suggested that HIV could be traced to the testing of an oral polio vaccine called Chat, given to about a million people in the Belgian Congo , Ruanda and Urundi in the late 1950s. To be reproduced, live polio vaccine needs to be cultivated in living tissue, and Hooper's belief is that Chat was grown in kidney cells taken from local chimps infected with SIVcmz. This, he claims, would have resulted in the contamination of the vaccine with chimp SIV, and a large number of people subsequently becoming infected with HIV-1.\n\nHowever, in February 2000 the Wistar Institute in Philadelphia (one of the original places that developed the Chat vaccine) announced that it had discovered in its stores a phial of polio vaccine that had been used as part of the program. The vaccine was subsequently analysed and in April 2001 it was announced4 that no trace had been found of either HIV or chimpanzee SIV. A second analysis5 confirmed that only macaque monkey kidney cells, which cannot be infected with SIV or HIV, were used to make Chat. While this is just one phial of many, most have taken its existence to mean that the OPV vacc

Why do slugs melt when you put salt on them?

Slugs don't "melt" when salt is poured on them; they simply dry out.  Slugs depend on being very moist to survive, and if they lose that moisture they die.  Salt is known for being very good at removing moisture from cells, so when you combine salt and slugs, you have a dried slug.

Tell her about some things that are going on in your life and give her your telephone number and e-mail address (just in case she's not ready to "talk" just yet). I would also apologize to her and let her know that you weren't intending to hurt or berate her, you just believed that she could do better than him (which obviously she did because ~I'm assuming~ she married someone else). [That was good, feel free to use that in your letter, if, in fact, she did marry someone else.] :) After that, I would leave it alone. If she writes you back, that's great and if she doesn't, you've made your peace with the situation and you will have to let it go. I hope this helps!


How can I get more definition in my abdominals?  They're visible but they are not defined (not a six-pack)

Abs are a tough one. you must be disciplined. I work abs everyday. Do lots of crunches everyday... Actually, do reverse crunches or leg lifts first. This will focus more on the lower abs. It's best to do lower abs first. Then do normal crunches. Again proper form is important... All that being said, It won't do a lick of good without the proper diet and exercise. You'll just have six pack abs covered by a layer of fat. Eat small healthy meals and get lots of exercise. It's difficult to get/keep a six pack if you don't work at it. There are several more ways to improve your abs, but that should get you started. Good luck!


Which is the most expensive music video ever?

1. "Scream"\nCost: $7,000,000+\nArtist: Michael Jackson (featuring Janet Jackson)\n\nMichael Jackson's videos have always been ridiculously expensive. In 1983, he spent $800,000 on "Thriller," which would be about $1.4 million today. But remember that before "Thriller," no one even came close to spending that kind of money, and he had to do it with limited technological capabilities. As technology improved, Jacko's videos became more expensive, spending over $1.2 million on "Black or White" in 1992, and even more on "Remember The Time." But if he can keep an oxygen chamber, a petting zoo, the Elephant Man's bones, and an entire plastic surgery team in his mansion, it's certainly no biggie to drop another $7 mil on a video with his sister.\n\n"Scream's" $7,000,000 price tag is more than twice as much as the next most expensive music video (Puff Daddy's "Victory" at $2.7 million), and it's easy to see why: he spent $5 million alone on 11 sets. Yet while watching the video, it all seems incredibly wasteful, not coming close to the film quality of "Thriller", "November Rain," or "Victory."\n\n    * Computer-generated spaceship: $65,000\n    * Breaking guitars: $53,000\n    * Morphing artworks: $50,000\n    * Michael's makeup: $3,000\n    * Janet's makeup: $8,000 a day\n    * Choreography: $40,000\n    * Giant video screen: $80,000\n    * Lighting: $175,000\n    * Cost per day: $636,000 (about 11 days)\n    * Total cost of 11 sets: $5,000,000


I like my boyfriend, but it seems I am just to blah. Any fashion tips to help?

You don't need to "be less fat." If this guy is dating you, then he probably doesn't have a problem with your weight.  If he thinks you're too blah looking, then he isn't the right guy for you.  The right guy will like you for who you are and not for the clothes you wear.  I know it sounds cheesy, but it's the truth.  If you're changing your style because you (not him) want to make a change, there are lots of cute clothes at places like TJ Maxx that aren't that expensive. I hope this helps!

I think a major function of thongs is to get rid of unsightly panty lines.  Since women's jeans are so tight these days they're practically vacuum-sealed on, wearing full coverage panties makes the booty not so aesthetically pleasing.  \n\nOh, women.  You're crazy, but I love you.


3spheres of diameters 2,3,4cms formed into a single sphere.finddiameter of newsphereif vol$cube r proportional

Step 1 is to find the volume of each of the individual spheres using formula (4/3)*pi*r^3\nSphere A diameter 2 cm\nSphere B diameter 3 cm\nsphere c diameter 4 cm\n\nSphere A Volume =(4/3)*pi*(1 cm)^3= approx 4.189 cm^3\nSphere B Volume =(4/3)*pi*(1.5 cm)^3= approx 14.137 cm^3\nSphere C Volume =(4/3)*pi*(2 cm)^3= approx 33.510 cm^3\n\nadd them together to get a volume of 51.836\n\nnow to find radius of new sphere.\n\n51.836=(4/3)*pi*r^3\n(51.836)*(3/4pi)=r^3\n12.375=r^3\nr=approx 2.313\n\ntherefore the diameter of the new sphere is about 4.626 cm


Can a probation officer force a DWI offender to quit drinking?

It depends on whether if that was the reason that you are on probation. If so, then he can't force you, but he may give you an ultimatum. Saying that, its either you quit drinking or you go back to jail. I believe he/she can do that.

What kind of program or software project would you want to buy?

I've never found a suitable Google/Yahoo Images spider. Something that will take a search string and download all the image results from Google and Yahoo. It would need to have options for limits, locations, at the like. \n\nThat is something I would consider buying.


In the arts of painting, web design, and photography, color theory is a set of basic rules for mixing color to achieve a desired result. As pigment and light are different in terms of how they combine to create colors, so too are the rules for dealing with each. White light is composed of the mixture of the three primary hues red, green and blue. Black is approximated in pigment by mixing the primaries cyan, magenta and yellow (the imperfect primaries blue, red and yellow are the more traditional primaries due their colorfast properties and physical pigment availability.)

Winzip is used more because of a more intutive interface and faster compression, however the compression ratios is less as compared to winrar. \nNovice users generally use Winzip whereas vice versa for winrar in general.


where can i go to learn bout jehova witnesses?

The only place to get accurate information about what Jehovah's Witnesses believe is from their current publications. If you don't want to speak with any Witnesses, you still have a few options:\n  1. Write to a JW branch office and ask for literature. Have it sent to a PO box or they will come to deliver it in person.\nhttp://www.watchtower.org/how_to_contact_us.htm\n  2. Buy JW books on Ebay. Search Ebay for "knowledge that leads to everlasting life" or "what does the bible really teach" (the titles of the two most recent entry-level books containing all basic Witness teachings)\nhttp://www.ebay.com\n  3. Online. The Witnesses' official website doesn't have entire books (except the bible), but it does have entire brochures. Look at the publication covers and titles ; the ones toward the bottom hyperlink to the publication contents:\nhttp://www.watchtower.org/publications/publications_available.htm\n\nThere are many partial truths and slanders about Jehovah's Witnesses, so the only real place to learn about their beliefs is from them. The three suggestions above should allow anyone to do that almost anonymously.

"AMEN " ..a word which milions of people say it , every day . what's the exact meaning of it ?

This Hebrew word means firm, and hence also faithful (Rev. 3:14). In Isa. 65:16, the Authorized Version has "the God of truth," which in Hebrew is "the God of Amen." It is frequently used by our Saviour to give emphasis to his words, where it is translated "verily." Sometimes, only, however, in John's Gospel, it is repeated, "Verily, verily." It is used as an epithet of the Lord Jesus Christ (Rev. 3:14).\n\nIt is found singly and sometimes doubly at the end of prayers (Ps. 41:13; 72:19; 89:52), to confirm the words and invoke the fulfilment of them. It is used in token of being bound by an oath (Num. 5:22; Deut. 27:15-26; Neh. 5:13; 8:6; 1 Chr. 16:36). In the primitive churches it was common for the general audience to say "Amen" at the close of the prayer (1 Cor. 14:16).\n\nThe promises of God are Amen; i.e., they are all true and sure (2 Cor. 1:20).\n\nYou might have noticed during "The Passion of the Christ" that if you listened to the aramaic, Jesus said "Amen" when speaking to his disciples. If you've read the Gospels, you'll remember the "Verily I say unto you..." or "Assuredly" that often begin Jesus' statements. The movie translated these as "Amen".


Is there any proof for the existence of God?

Absolute proof?  No, just as there isn't absolute proof for evolution.  There are, however, a great number of evidences that would indicate that there is a God.  Taken together, you can then infer it, but that is where faith comes in.  Others have mentioned some of the evidences, but whether or not you accept that as indicating that God is real is up to you.  Others see them and interpret them differently.\n\nWhatever you come to believe, it's going to require some faith.  Some positions require more faith than others do.

What is the best method for massaging your own prostate?

A health professional can perform this procedure better. A lubricated, gloved finger is inserted into your rectum and pressed several times on your prostate. This may need to be done 2 or 3 times a week. Why this works is not certain, but it is believed that the massage helps open blocked ducts in the prostate, improving circulation and antibiotic penetration into the prostate. Prostatic massage is not done for acute bacterial prostatitis because it could cause the bacteria to spread from the prostate and cause a wider infection (sepsis).

where is the best place to buy a used surfboard?

If you're learning to surf, I suggest you rent boards for a while until you can tell the difference in different boards. Then you can make an educated decision on what kind of board you want without dishing out a lot of money on a board that you won't like or won't work for you. If you have friends that surf, borrow their old boards. At least it's free and a great way to experiment on a variety of styles. Be aware of what you like about different boards and how variations to the shape of the board will effect the performance (length, width, rocker, tail, fins, etc). That way when you get a board of your own you'll have some idea of what will work for you most of the time.

Why are high school seniors required to read Shakespeare almost without fail?

Shakespeare is a literary giant, just like Hawthorne, Melville, Hugo, Twain, Steinbeck ...\n\nIt probably has a lot to do with standardizing Literature education among high schools.  No doubt, every literature teacher has his / her favorite writers .  Decisions about testing have to be made somewhere, and Shakespeare is likely as good a pick as any.\n\nStudents who go on to College / University education will likely see Shakespeare again, so it's good exposure.


Why could allergy to peanut be so fatal in some cases and not others?

As said above but just to elaborate...\n\nAllergic reactions can be mild or they can be acute and thus life-threatening. Some people will react to peanuts with a mild allergic reaction, such as hives. Others, will have a severe reaction by going into anaphylaxis (or anaphylactic shock), which if left untreated, can lead to death.\n\nThe best thing a lay person can do for someone going into anaphlyaxis is to call 911. If the person has an epi-pen, follow the directions on it. An epi-pen can save someone's life, but the epinephrine can wear off quickly so be sure that an ambulance is on the way. Treat for shock.

Where can i get good information about mercury metal trade in the united states.?

US Mercury Emissions Now Worry Even Trade Bureaucrats\n\nNAFTA Secretariat Deems U.S. Mercury Emissions Worth Investigating \nMONTREAL, Quebec, Canada \nDecember 14, 2005 (ENS)\n\nhttp://www.ens-newswire.com/ens/dec2005/2005-12-14-01.asp\n\nThe environmental agency that polices the North American Free Trade Agreement Tuesday said that it intends to investigate the United States government for failing to enforce the federal Clean Water Act against coal-fired power plants with respect to mercury discharges to air and water. \n\nThe Secretariat of the Commission for Environmental Cooperation (CEC) of North America issued a notification recommending to the CEC Council that a factual record be developed for a submission by U.S. and Canadian environmental groups that claims the U.S. government is allowing these power plants to emit mercury in violation of the Clean Water Act. \n\nThe Secretariat will prepare a factual record in connection with the submission if the Council, by a two-thirds vote, instructs it to do so. The Council, the CEC's governing body, is composed of the top environment officials of Canada, Mexico and the United States. \n\nThe submission was filed with the CEC Secretariat on September 20, 2004 by the Sierra Legal Defence Fund and Waterkeeper Alliance, on behalf of Friends of the Earth Canada, Friends of the Earth-US, Earthroots, Centre for Environmentally Sustainable Development, Great Lakes United, Pollution Probe, Waterkeeper Alliance, and the Sierra Club. \n\nhttp://www.organicconsumers.org/politics/mercury121405.cfm


The longest highway in Canada also happens to be the longest national highway in the world.\n\nThe Trans-Canada Highway stretches a whopping 4,860 miles (this figure varies slightly depending upon the source) across Canada. Beginning on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, (where Mile Zero is marked by a monument), the road makes its way across the Continental Divide, 5 time zones, and 10 provinces, and includes several car ferries before it terminates in St. John's, Newfoundland.\n\nThe highway varies in size from a two-lane road to a divided highway and is not a single route. In some places, there are actually several different routes the adventurous traveler can take. And though the number of the route changes by province, the distinctive maple leaf signs remain the same.\n\nPassed on December 10, 1949, the Trans-Canada Highway Act provided federal funding for the road. The highway was due to be completed in 1956, but wasn't formally opened until 1962 due to (what else?) construction delays. The final cost was close to $600 million.\n\nIf you ever have the chance to drive the Trans-Canada Highway, make sure you don't miss the world's largest hockey stick and puck, just one of the many oversized roadside attractions you'll pass on the route.

Should illegal immigrants be allowed in the united states?

well, when illegal immigrants work in the US, the gov't doesn't know they're there. And if the gov't doesn't know they're there, then they can't be taxed.  The problem with this is they're working and taking money from US pockets and enjoying American freedoms and rights without really contributing back to the American society.  Furthermore, it would help the US economy if they spent the money in the US, but most likely, they're going to send the money back to their family in wherever country they hail from.  Thus, both our social works that taxes goes towards and our economy gets the shaft. :)


why do we put salt on icy sidewalks during winter?

Hi Asterion, All icy surfaces in fact contain small puddles of water. Because salt is soluble in water, salt applied to such surfaces dissolves. Liquid water has what is known as a high dielectric constant, which allows the ions in the salt (positively charged sodium and negatively charged chlorine) to separate. These ions, in turn, react with water molecules and hydrate—that is, form hydrated ions (charged ions joined to water molecules). This process gives off heat, because hydrates are more stable than the individual ions. That energy then melts microscopic parts of the ice surface. Thus a substantial amount of salt spread over a large surface can actually thaw the ice. In addition, if you drive over the ice in your automobile, the pressure helps force the salt into the ice and more of this hydration occurs.


The gibbon has 44 chromosomes per diploid set and the siamang has 50 ....?

This sounds like a homework question. Think about it this way: what does diploid mean, and what does haploid mean? What has to happen for a gamete to form? How many chromosomes in a haploid gamete as opposed to a diploid somatic cell? What happens at fertilization? How many chromosomes would be in a fertilized zygote if you count up what was in each gamete?\n\nHints: a gamete is an egg or sperm; a somatic cell is any cell that is not a gamete; a zygote is what is formed when egg and sperm combine in fertilization. Post again if you're still stuck.


Did object-oriented programming really solve complexity?

Proponents of OOP claim [...] that OOP approach is often simpler to develop and to maintain, lending itself to more direct analysis, coding, and understanding of complex situations and procedures than other programming methods (Wikipedia)\n\nAs far as I can see OOP not only makes it easier to create abstract domain models, OOP paradigm has lead to understanding that some decisions are more effective and can be videly reused (so-called design and architectual patterns). Being familiar with a wide range of patterns gathered&developed by best practitioners and scientists you won't have to reinvent a bicycle each time.

Should all the religions of this world be unified into a single religion?

No, Religion is a way of life. Due to many cultural differences several religions have arisen. Unification might cause lot more problems like mismatches and eventually leading to riots. It is better to make people respect each others religion. It should be done by inviting other religious people for ones festivals. This might increase the understanding between two religions.


how does being religious blind people to the truth?

Being religious does not blind people to truth. It constrains and biases their thinking just like culture, social context, upbringing, education, etc. do. I think all of us, whether religious or not, are biased in the way we think and to that extent distort truth.\n\nWhat is unique about religion is that a set of things are held to be true on the basis of faith rather than scientific reasoning.

In canada do you think they should ban handguns?

Well this is a very debatable question. But I would argue that allowing humans to own handguns, even in order to protect themselves will lead to far more shooting and killing than without. The US are a good example of this. I quite believe Canada to be a country where it is pleasant to live, but to my mind such a ban would drastically increase the "level of civilization" there. Just my opinion though :)


Which is the best Credit Reporting Company and how do they differ from each other?

Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion are the big three credit reporting companies. Although they don't share data with each other, your credit history should not differ substantially between them. A quick browse on the web seems to indicate that Experian and Equifax are the most people-friendly, with prompt service and informative customer care.\n\nIf you want to get your credit score (not credit history; that's different and you are entitled to one inquiry from one of the agencies every year), you can go to www.myfico.com and buy a comprehensive report that will show the info that each agency has (you'll pay a minimum of about $45.00). If you just want your score from ONE of the agencies, it's about $15.00 a pop.

It depends on what kind of map you are looking at:\n\nFor instance, a map of historical landmarks might use a windmill to indicate that there actually is a windmill in this location of some historical significance.\n\nOn the other hand, if it is modern in appearance, it could mean that wind is harvested in this location to create electrical power.\n\nDoes the map have a key?


I received a Pell Grant for Fall Semester. I finished but failed the class. Do I have to pay the grant back?

*****EDIT for Information Purposes*******\nUnder the new Title law, as long as you have actually completed the semister, you are not required to pay back the pell grant or any other FA grants.  however, if you didn't finish the semister, then you are required to repay 50% for every 1/2 semister that you didn't attend.\n\nYou stated that you completed the semister, so no, you are not required to repay.\n\n****Begin original answer******\nPell grants are awarded solely on demonstrated financial need to every eligible undergraduate student who hasn't already earned a bachelor's or professional degree. The amount of your Pell grant will depend on your financial need, your college costs, and whether you're attending college full time or part time. The funds can be used for tuition, fees, and living expenses.\n\nBecause it is a GRANT, it does not have to be repaid.


You can't die of arthritis, however arthritis can assist in the cause of death.  Arthritis will NEVER be listed on a death certificate from an autopsy.  However, if you get septic arthritis, meaning an infection in your joint, you can die if it goes unchecked and spreads to the rest of your body.  To read more about sepctic arthritis, refer to the source I site.  Osteoarthritis, which is probably what you're refering to, causes joint pain and stiffness.  This can lead to difficulties walking and falling down which can lead to death, but arthritis is NOT the cause of death just a factor associated with it.

why do we get strech marks on leg and how to get rid of them?

There is no real way to prevent stretch marks.  Lotions, retin-A, and cocoa butter may keep the skin supple and soft, but these tears often occur at deeper levels of the skin than can be reached with topical emollients.  If your skin is predisposed to stretch marks, you'll have them, and that's pretty much all there is to it.\n\nOver time, most stretch marks will fade and blend into the skin.  The best way to deal with them is to just accept them.  I call mine "medals of honor" for going through an arduous labor!

It depends on how you use FTP.  \n\nFor secure, business class FTPing, WS_FTP is my favorite.  It has a lot of features, works great, and it is fairly intuitive.

It's main advantage over FileZilla is that miFiles has a great resume feature that is very helpful with interupted uploads or downloads.  \n\nOf all the FTP clients I have tried, FileZilla is the simplest, quickest at uploading and downloading and my favorite.

First, the option itself is an asset and must be disclosed on the form 433-A Collection Information Statement for Individuals, which accompanies all Doubt as to Collectibility Offers. Second, the income from the sale of the option MAY in this case touch off a Future Income Collateral Agreement, which is normally not included in a typical OIC. In fact, in my 13 years in private practice, we have only had 2 cases where the IRS required a Collateral Agreement.\n\nA Future Income Collateral Agreement is used only when the IRS anticipates a large increase in income in the future. This MAY be one of those circumstances. I strongly suggest that your friends consults an EA, CPA or attorney with extensive experience in Offers.

The I-5 is the major Interstate Artery on the West Coast, beginning at the International Border (Mexico/U.S.) South of San Diego, CA and extending North to the U.S./Canadian Border.\n\nAs far as giving you directions to it, you'd have to provide information as to where you're located. Or you could try maps.yahoo.com or something like that to get directions.


The reason for the sensation of itching is not well understood. While itching is the most noticeable symptom in many skin diseases, but it doesn't necessary mean that a person who feels itchy has a disease.\n\nStress and emotional upset can make itching worse, no matter what the underlying cause. If emotional problems are the primary reason for the itch, the condition is known as psychogenic itching. Some people become convinced that their itch is caused by a parasite; this conviction is often linked to burning sensations in the tongue, and may be caused by a major psychiatric disorder.


Why is our society obsessed with the "anorexic" look?

It is not that kind of look that they are obsessed in promoting. The look people are looking for is the fit look. If you are truly fit, then you are thin. That could be argued, but since I am a marathon runner I believe that is true. You do not have to be able to run a lot, it is more about being healthy that is "in". Please do not call the thin and fit look "anorexic", it disrespects anorexics and the athletic people.

why has the beauty of deep thought-and the thought process- been significantly depreciated?

Thought is not the be-it-all.  Thought is often associated with emotion and memories.  Even Spock and Data understand that thought is not the whole of human existence.  Current Western society seems to place more emphasis on material possessions that on spiritual growth.  It also seems to believe that logical thought is somehow a higher development than emotional expression.  The biggest fault of thoughts is they are almost always an excuse to guard oneself from Reality.  Life is a mystery, not a sequence of thoughts.


Is there any way to extend the wireless range on my wireless adpater?

Typically the problem is with the wireless source, such as the router, If your using a wireless b router the range is only 150 feet but you can get special antenas for it, some newer routers using the new Wireless G standard have a range up to 1800 feet. But usually only a couple hundred feet. And make sure your not covering the card with anything such as  metal objects (especially lead) and hands...etc...

after a complete hystorectomy will polycystic ovarian disease go away?

A "complete hysterectomy" means surgical removal of the uterus and cervix.  Removal of the ovaries is an oophorectomy.  PCOS is a metabolic disorder that results in reproductive dysfunction.  The underlying disorder is insulin resistance and removing all the reproductive organs will not correct a metabolic disorder.  That requires medication.

What's the best treatment for spinal stenosis (besides laminectomy)?

Depending on the severity of symptoms, spinal stenosis can often be managed through non-surgical means. The two most common treatments for spinal stenosis include:\n\nActivity modification to treat spinal stenosis. Patients are usually counseled to avoid activities that cause the adverse symptoms of spinal stenosis. Patients are typically more comfortable while flexed forward. Examples of activity modification might include: walking while bent over and leaning on a walker or shopping cart instead of walking upright; stationary biking instead of walking for exercise; sitting in a recliner instead of on a straight-back chair.\n\nEpidural injections to treat spinal stenosis. An injection of cortisone into the space outside the dura (the epidural space) can temporarily relieve symptoms of spinal stenosis. While these injections can seldom be considered curative, they can alleviate the pain in about 50% of cases. Up to three injections over a course of several months can be tried. Although they are not considered diagnostic in and of themselves, generally, if the pain caused by spinal stenosis is relieved by an injection the patient can also be expected to have a good result if they later choose surgery.


Is olive oil suitable and healthy for frying?

Olive oil is very suitable for sauteing and frying. It is sometimes mixed with butter to allow one to fry at higher heat than butter would allow but still get some of the taste of butter. \n\nOlive oil is not suitable for deep frying, though. Use peanut oil for deep frying.\n\nThere are several grades of olive oil. Extra virgin olive oil is very flavorful and the most expensive, and people suggest using it for dressings and such. Use a lower grade olive oil to fry with, such as virgin olive oil or just plain olive oil is more economical.\n\nHey--check out the many uses of olive oil on the Olive Oil Page: http://frugalliving.about.com/cs/tips/a/bloliveoil.htm


The first thing I would think about if you have thin hands is whether or not you have Marfan syndrome.  This can result in thing long fingers and is a problem with collagen.  If this is the case, you could also have weakened artery walls and should discuss this issue with your doctor.\n\nIf you do not have Marfan Syndrome (which only a doctor can diagnose), you can increase your hand size (thickness, not length) through weight bearing excercise and enough protein and calcium (a healthy diet essentially).  Try to use free weights that require the constant use of hand muscles to pick up, hang on to, and put back.  This will build muscle in the hand.\n\nIt is possible that the bones will thicken somewhat in certain places also from the pull of strengthened muscles on them, but this will take years to show.\n\nNone of these ideas will change wrist size much fast.  The wrist has little muscle fiber in, rather it has many tendons passing through it.  Tendons will respond over time with weight training, but they take much longer than muscles, and they do not grow nearly as musch as muscles do.

Every quarter, I run a urine lab in my introductory Human biology course.\nAfter everyone gets over feeling uncomfortable by having others see their\nurine, it turns out to be one of the most popular labs we do.\nInterestingly, I usually get at least one female asking me the same\nquestion--quite confidentially. "Why is it that male urine seems to have\nmore bubbles that female urine?"\n\nMy off-the-top-of-my-head response has always been in the method of\ncollection. I suggest that males, perhaps because of greater force, or\ndistance, are able to "blast" the sample and thus create more froth. A\nlogical hypothesis, I thought, but never tested.\n\nI could not think of a very accurate way to test the hypothesis, and still\nmaintain the high standards of our institution and still retain my job. But\nlast week, I figured out a way.\n\nWhen the student returned to the lab with their samples in hand, I asked\nthree males and three females, if I might have a third of a test tube of\ntheir finest for a test I was going to run. They agreed, and the only\nidentifying marks were the classic male and female symbols on the test\ntubes. Each test tube was covered with parafilm, and then each was shaken\n(not stirred) for five times (or 5 "shakes").\n\nAll three of the male samples created 2-4 cm. "heads," while all three\nfemale samples could only muster about 0.5 cm. worth of effort. After\nstanding for 1 hour, the male samples still had about 1 cm. of foam, while\nthe female samples were entirely bubbleless.\n\nObviously, the bubble factor of urine is not due to the method of\ncollection, but shows a definite dimorphic difference. I realize that the\nsample size was small and the experiment lacked the proper elegance to be\nrecorded in a journal. Still, while trying hard not to appear sexist, it\ndoes appear that males are better bubble-makers than females.

Who was our smartest President ever? Dumbest?

The most educated US President may have been Woodrow Wilson.  Wilson is the only President to have a Ph.D.  He was a renowned political scientist and was President of Princeton University prior to entering politics.  Andrew Jackson may have been one of the least educated Presidents ever.  Of course, being the most educated does not mean you're the "smartest," and being the least educated does not mean you're the "dumbest."  After all, as Andrew Jackson supposedly once said, "T'aint a very smart man can think of only one way to spell a word." ;-)


Do you think that Cheerleading in high school is a sport??

To answer this question, you would have to ask yourself the definition of "sport." A sport consists of a physical activity carried out with a recreational purpose for competition, for self-enjoyment, to attain excellence, for the development of a skill, or some combination of these. A sport has physical activity, side by side competition, self-motivation and a scoring system. The difference of purpose is what characterises sport, combined with the notion of individual (or team) skill or prowess.\n\nAs you can see, a sport is a physical activity, which cheerleading is, and deals with competition, and I know there are cheerleading competitions. Cheerleading can be done individualy or with a team. So YES! I believe cheerleading is indeed a sport.\n\nTHE ABOVE STATEMENT BY THE OTHER PERSON IS FALSE. READ THE DEFINITION AND YOU WILL SEE THAT A SPORT CAN INDEED BE FOR SELF ENJOYMENT. Thanks.

Why does anyone  listen to Senator Biden after he was caught plagerizing during his Presidental Campaign?

I think it falls under the category of learning from his mistakes.  Biden was forced to step down because he made a bad decision.  His credibility took a hit, and he's spent almost two decades trying to rebuild that credibility.  Many people still heed Stephen Ambrose, George Harrison, and Alex Haley, all famous plagiarists.  Biden has permanently damaged his credibility, but he's carefuly spent time trying to restore it, and it appears that after twenty years he's pretty done a good job of it.


To the best of my knowledge he does not but this Wikipedia article is pretty close: \n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_St._Louis\n\nThere are also the standard player profiles available at places like Yahoo! and ESPN:\n\nhttp://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/players/1/1772/\n\nhttp://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/players/profile?statsId=1772\n\nhttp://www.nhl.com/lineups/player/8466378.html

a 50"dia roll of paper on an 8" dia core. Paper is .oo5"thick and roll is 30,000'long How many ft left @ 25"di

Cool problem.\n\n6908.9 feet when the diameter is 25".\n\nThe formula is:\nL = (X^2+8*X)*49.26108,  \nwhere L is the length of paper remaining in feet, and X is the measure from the core out in inches\n\n\nIt's not simply a number times the measure because an inch near the core is not the same amount of paper as an inch near the edge.\n\nIt's important to realize that any formula will be an approximation.  You can't be very precise when measuring the size of the roll, and the size of the core is not always going to be exactly the same.  And the paper may be tighter near the core than on the outside.  Also, based on the info given, the thickness of the paper is actually .005314528".\n\n\nThere are a couple ways to approach this.  The easiest way, which happens not to be very intuitive, is to correlate the area of the cross-section with the length of paper.\n\nIf you want to follow this, draw two concentric circles - one representing the core, and the other representing the paper around the core.\n\nThe radius of the larger circle is X+4 inches.\nThe radius of the smaller circle is 4 inches.\n\nThe area of the donut area (representing the paper) is π*(X+4)^2-π*16 = π*((X+4)^2-16) = π*(X^2+8*X) square inches\n(In case the font is not clear in the browser, "π" is pi=3.141593.)\n\nLength x thickness = area of cross section\n(For this purpose, I'm assuming that the area of the cross section for a given amount of paper is the same whether it's rolled around a core, or it's cut into sheets and stacked.)\n\nWhen X=21 inches, Length = 30,000 feet = 360,000 inches\n\n(360,000 inches)*thickness = 3.141593 * (21^2+8*21)\nSo, thickness = .005314528 inches\n\nTo derive the formula:\n(Length in feet)*(12 inches/foot)*thickness=area of cross-section\n\nL*(12 in/ft)*(.005314528 in)=3.141593*(X^2+8*X)\n\nSolve for L:\nL=(X^2+8*X)*49.26108\nL is in feet, X is in inches.\n\n\nThe question asked how many feet when the diameter is 25".  \nX=8.5\nL=(8.5^2+8*8.5)*49.26108 = 6908.9 ft.


help!! i really like this guy we've already gone out but .....?

This may not be exactly what you want to hear but I'm going to answer your question in the adult manner in which you asked it.\n\nIf the relationship is meant to be, it will last the test of time...time for both of you to grow up a bit more & wait to date with your parents approval. I know this doesn't help much but everyone, including your boy-friend is trying to look out for you & do what's best. Personally, it always annoyed me when people did this for me when I was your age so I can understand you feeling like you don't know where to turn.\n\nMy suggestion is to remain friends with this boy & don't try to take things too fast. There is always time for dating in a few years, not to mention all of the other things that tend to come with dating. While you might feel ready for some of that now, you will appreciate it much more after having waited for it & building a stronger friendship. Yes, I know you may not believe this right now so, please, read this little story about my cousin...\n\nI have a cousin who met a boy when they were both young...just about your age, in fact. The two of them became friends but he was shy &, as time went on, he never asked her out. He didn't go out with anyone else either & always spent his free time with her. Well, when they turned 16 & 17, he finally asked her out & they dated only each other. As it turned out, the boy had asked my uncle long ago what his rules were about dating his daughter (when he was about 14, I believe) & also told my uncle of his intention to marry her someday. While my uncle didn't believe it at the time, he certainly did as the years rolled by & the boy refused to date anyone other than my cousin. All the way through high school & college they were a pair &, believe it or not, they didn't even go in for the things that most teenagers do, if you know what I mean. To everyone else it just seemed like a sweet & gentle relationship.\n\nWhen they finally moved to that next level of a relationship, they were already in college, having been together & waited years with nothing more than kisses & hugs. They are now married with a beautiful child &, I promise you, have one of the strongest relationships that I have ever seen. I honestly think this is because they were friends first & took their time learning everything about each other.\n\nI hope this helps & that you can learn something useful from my cousin's story...


is it possible to fall in love with some one from talking online?if so how do u know u like this person?

Anything's possible.  There are a lot of love stories that started online, but that's just a start.  You need to have some real live in person contact to see if ya' hit it off in more than just a fantastical way.  Some people who are great on paper are not all that great in real life...and I think love is better in real life than fantasy.

What is the fastest internet speed ever recorded?

Internet2 Speed Record\nOn 14 April 2004 a team of engineers from Sprint Corporation in San Jose, California, USA, and the Swedish National Research and Education Network successfully transmitted 838.86 gigabytes of data over a distance of 16,343 km (10,155 miles) in 1,588 seconds. The resulting record value of 69,073 terabit metres-per-second was achieved over public networks using IPv4. The start and end points of the transmission were San Jose, California, USA, and the University of Luleå , Luleå , Sweden.\nhttp://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/index.asp?id=58445\n\n\nI think you may looking for this result\n\n Networking\nSeptember 2, 2004\nScientists Set Internet2 Speed Record\nBy Susan Kuchinskas\n\nScientists at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) and the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) set a new land-speed record for Internet2, a second-generation network serving universities and research institutes.\n\nThe team, which included folks from AMD (Quote, Chart), Cisco (Quote, Chart), Microsoft Research, Newisys, and S2io, transferred 859 gigabytes of data in less than 17 minutes. It did so at a rate of 6.63 gigabits per second (define) between the CERN facility in Geneva, Switzerland, and Caltech in Pasadena, Calif., a distance of more than 15,766 kilometers, or approximately 9,800 miles.\n\nScientists are racing to move gigantic amounts of data by 2007, when CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will switch on. This huge underground particle accelerator will produce some 15 petabytes (define) of data a year, which will be stored and analyzed on a global grid of computer centers.\n\nHigh-energy physicists are excited about the LHC because they hope it will allow them to find the Higgs boson, a theoretical particle that they believe creates mass.\n\n"Physicists are trying to fill in the blank spaces in our model of high energy physics," said Jim Gray a Microsoft Research engineer who helped set Wednesday's record.\n\nBut this $10 billion collider will be of little use if scientists around the world can't access the data.\n\nResearchers aren't the only ones excited about blazing data speeds. This record speed of 6.63Gbps is equivalent to transferring a full-length DVD movie in four seconds. There are uses in astronomy, bioinformatics, global climate modeling and seismology, as well as commercial applications from entertainment to oil and gas exploration.\n\nInternet2 is fast -- Abilene, a U.S. cross-country backbone network, blasts data at 10Gbps. But transoceanic networking is another story. There are hardware and software issues to overcome, Gray said.\n\nFor example, one limiting factor is that the fastest available interface for PCs is the PCIX64 Bus Isolation Extender, which can only handle 7.5Gbps.\n\nThe land-speed test is part of an ongoing R&D program to create high-speed global networks as the foundation of next-generation, data-intensive grids with a goal of transferring data at 1Gbps.\n\nThe performance also is the first record to break the 100-petabit meter per second mark. One petabit is 1,000,000,000,000,000 bits (define). That may seem like an almost inconceivably large number, but Gray said storing petabits of data is a fact of life for many large corporations. He said Microsoft has about 5 petabits of data, and he estimates Google and Yahoo store that much, as well.\n\n"If you have a million customers and they each have a gigabyte of storage, that's a petabit," he said.\n\nThe technology used in setting this record included S2io's Xframe 10 GbE server adapter, Cisco 7600 Series Routers, Newisys 4300 servers using AMD Opteron processors, Itanium servers and the 64-bit version of Windows Server 2003.\nhttp://www.internetnews.com/infra/article.php/3403161


Who was the person that discovered dark matter?

The first to hypothesize dark matter was Fritz Zwicky, of the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) in 1933


What is considered blunt force trauma to the head? And how does it kill you?

Simply, a blunt force trauma is an injury caused by a blunt object, ie not sharp; such as a bat, pipe, book, ect.\n\nThis can kill you because it can cause subdermal hematomas (i hate that word), which is basically bleeding under the skin or skull.\n\nBlunt force traumas are also dangerous because they transfer the force of the blow throughout the entire head, thus making point fractures and problems around the head.\n\nThink of it like hitting a watermelon with a baseball bat.  You'll notice that the part you hit is still intact, but the fracture points on that melon have caused it to either 1. explode out from the contact point, 2. fracter internally, thus causing a minor implosion of the skin around the rind.\n\nThe same premise is accurate for the human head as well.\n\n\n"There are many typical signs of blunt force trauma: a lacerated aorta or other major vessel (thus massive internal bleeding), lacerated organ, hematoma, contusions, crushed or severed spinal cord. These are some of the major signs and only one has to be present in order to cause death. So in a way blunt force trauma is an umbrella term."


Ah, the old "hump & dump".  It's not wrong (unless you're married or in a committed relationship).  It can be fun.  If you're a chick, you can just go to any bar in america and walk up to a guy and tell him you are looking for a one night stand and you're all set. You'll just want to make sure he's not gay and make sure he's not already with another chick (if he is, you may have to just wait until she goes to the bathroom-he'll figure out a way to ditch her unless she's his wife or roommate). If you are a guy it is a bit more complicated.
