The centre square on each side decides the colour that the whole side should be. If you pulled a cube apart you would notice that the centre squares are connected by axles and the other blocks rotate around them. \n\n\nEach face is named as shown. "Front" faces towards you, "Back" is on the back, "Top" is on the top, "Down" is on the bottom, "Left" and "Right" are also obvious. These names are abbreviated with the letters: F, B, T, D, L, R. The positions of the colours do not affect the names of the sides. Following the letter that indicatees which face to turn is a lowercase letter that indicates how to turn it. To indicate a turn of a face by 90 degrees clockwise I will use the letter 'o', for 90 degrees anti-clockwise I will use 'a', and for 180 degrees (or turning it twice) I will use 'i'. \nExamples: Fo means turn the front face 90 degrees clockwise. \nTi La Do means turn the 'top' face twice then the 'left' face anti-clockwise, then the 'down' face clockwise. Using these letters means the formulas became pronouncable and so easier to remember.\n\nRemember when applying an 'algorithm' do not rotate the entire cube in your hands as the faces will change and you will stuff it up. You can, of course, do as much rotating between 'algorithms' as you like.\n\nWhere there is more than one 'algorithm' by one picture they are alternatives, do not do all of them, just choose one. \n\n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\nStage 1 \nThe aim here is to get one face completed. Note that just getting one colour all on one face is not quite good enough. You need to get each separate 'little cube' in it's correct position on the face, (if you know what I mean). So if you're going to put one colour into place check the other colour(s) attached to the same piece of plastic, and line them up also.\n\nWhich side you start with is not relevant, choose any colour, and hold the cube so that the 'up' face has that colour as it's centre square. \nYou can rotate the 'up' face or the 'down' face to get your cube into one of the following positions, as that won't mess up the top face.\n\nHere's how to do it:\n\n \nIn this position do this: \nDo Ro La Fa Ra Lo\n\n \nHere you should do the following: \nRo La Fi Ra Lo \n\n\n \n In this position try one of these: \nRa Da Ro \nDo Fo Da Fa\n\n \nThis is a similar situation. \nFo Do Fa \nDa Ra Do Ro \n\n\n\n \nIf you encounter this do one of these: \nRa Do Ro \nFo Da Fa \nThen you get one of the two previous situations \n \nFa Ra Lo Do Ro La \nTo Lo Ta Do Fa\n\n \nTa Ro Fo Ba Da Fa Bo To \nTi Ba To Da Ro To \n\n\n\nIf the 'little cube' you need to make the top face is already in the top row except the wrong way up, or in the wrong place, or both, then just move another 'little cube' to where it is and that should move it out of the top row.\n\nOnce you have applied which-ever of the above algorithms you required to complete one side of your cube then you have successfully completed stage 1. Well done. \n\n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\nStage 2 \nYou should, by now, have one row out of three of the cube completed. The aim of this stage is to complete the middle row. Start by turning the cube upside down so the completed 'up' face now becomes the 'down' face. Find a 'little cube' that is on what is now the top row and should be in the middle row, and find where it's meant to go. Hold your cube so that where it's meant to go is on the left of the 'front' face and turn the 'up' face so that the 'little cube' you are moving is above the 'front' face. Then follow one of these instructions: \n \nFo Ti Ro Ta Ra Ti Fa \n\n\n \nTa Fo Ti Ro To Ra Ti Fa \n\n


when did the untided nations begin? how did it start? who started it? whats its purpose?

The United Nations was founded in 1945. It began to resolve WWI, and as a way nations could talk, before declaring war on each other.\n\nI believe the founding nations included Great Britain, the US and Germany and France (not sure about the last two). But anyhow, it started with lofty ideals of providing a forum where nations could meet in a neutral environment and talk problems through. And since it was founded during times of war, concerns over Human Rights were brought to the fore.\n\nCurrently, there is alot of politics going on with the UN, but the main purpose is still to provide that open communication between nations of the world.\n\nThere is tons more out there on the United Nations, and all you have to do is Google it.


If I had my songs on a website of mine, would u listen to them?

If they were any good, I suppose.  "Rock" has become so battered over the past ten years or so that it's almost lost its meaning.  Even if I don't like it, though, I'll say it's a great way to get noticed.  I've been on AcidPlanet (site for mainly electronic music) for years, and I've had one CD release already.  Post music, advertise, and encourage feedback--good or bad--because you have to break a lot of eggs to make a quiche.  I tell you what, if I like it, I'll even give you some exposure through my little network!  Good luck!


what is the meaning in the bible when Jesus says "God o God, why have you forsaken me."?

In the movies, it always portrays Jesus looking up and addressing heaven. Some say that this is when Jesus absorbed all the sin of mankind and God had to look away--seeing that He cannot look upon sin. I am not saying that this is not what happened, but there is a better explanation--it is very Jewish.  \n\nBack then, they did not have multiple copies of the Tonakh. They kept one copy safely stored in an ark in the synagogue. So the students and priests, back then as well as today, would memorize the scriptures (they did this by singing it). Whenever they wanted to bring a chapter, or a Psalm to the attention of the students, they would not recite the entire chapter, they would say the first verse and the rest of the students would know the rest by memory.  \n\nWhen Jesus was on the cross, He employed this rabbinical device--He quoted the first verse. The Pharisees would hear this, then in their mind they would immediately do the "scripture shuffle" and find that this was the first verse of Psalm 22.They would then automatically recall the entire Psalm that would show that what was happening before them was prophetic--that Messiah had to die, be surrounded by accusing Gentiles scoffing, "he trusted in God, let Him deliver", He will have His hands and feet pierced causing His bones to come out of joint, that they would divide His garments, and at the end He will say "It is finished" (which is the Greek translation of the last verse). \n\nSo really, Jesus was alerting the Pharisees to what was happening and that all what they were seeing was planned from the foundations of the earth and that He was who He said He was--the Messiah, the subject and focus of Psalm 22.

If a "gangsta" has gold and jewels in his "grill" should the government be allowed to confiscate it?

It might be more humane for the government to take it.  At least they would have a dentist remove it using Novocaine, whereas if he winds up in the slam, a fellow resident may determine that he needs it more and decides to do the extractions with a pliers.  Ouch!!!!


which is the best laptop in the market for animators and amv makers??

It depends what program you will be using and for creating your animations.\n\nApple are really good and reliable, but the software range isn't that wide.\n\nThe microsoft had alot more range in software, but there have been alot of problems with hardware such as bios problems, battery dying spontaneously and such. Although Dell has a really good warrantee and policy and they pick up right in front of your house if something goes wrong.\n\nAnother new thing now is to get an apple to machine to run windows, especialy with the new Intel dual cores in the apple machines (Macbookpro).


what is the difference between a co-signer and someone signing on with you or is that the same thing?

Depends on what they are signing for.  \n\nIf it is a credit reference (i.e. that you work for them or they don't know of any credit problems with you) then they have no liability (assuming they are not signing fraudulently).\n\nIf they are, in any way, guaranteeing that you will pay then, yes, they are co-signing and will fall liable should the main signer fail to pay.\n\nIn this case they are looking for someone to pursue for the debt if you default ... a co-signer!


It means that you like both men and woman.


why is it Muslims of the world hate  nonmuslims???????????

It's not about religion; it's about politics. Most Muslims live in countries where either the entire population is poor or where society is sharply divided between the ultra wealthy and the poor. When the United Staes, a relatively wealthy country with a very high standard of living, interferes in Middle Eastern politics, many of the policy decisions we make often appear to be aligned with the wealthier or more privileged contingencies, such as the Saudi Arabian royalty or the Israeli goverment, and opposed or at the very least unhelpful to less privileged contingencies, such as Palestinians or Kurds. To most Arab Muslims, it appears that the U.S. government is just another one of the oppressors, and that all our talk about democracy and Christianity is purely rhetoric aimed at rationalizing and covering our self-serving and hypocritical interests.\n\nBut most Muslims do not hate Americans although they do resent or mistrust the U.S. government. It just appears that they all hate us because our news coverage of course covers events which portray hatred and hostility rather than peace or cooperation. It's just the nature of the news.


A bunch of scientists agreed the earth was flat. I guess it must've been flat back then. And not all scientists believe in evolution.


techniques to solve mathematical divisions?

Some useful things to learn for quantitative aptitude, especially for division and factoring:\n1) perfect squares up to 20^2\n2) perfect cubes up to 10^3\n3) multiples of 12, 13, 15, 16 (up to 20)\n4) divisibility tests (quick ways to determine if a number is divisible by another number)\n\nFor the last, I found the website below to be the most complete.

When you compute a mean from a sample, you are estimating the mean of the population from which you sampled.  The population mean is sometimes refered to as the true mean and the mean you compute from your sample is called the sample mean.\n\nWith repeated sampling, you'll come up with a different sample mean each time.  This distribution of sample means is refered to as the sample distribution and it is approximately Normal in distribution.\n\nWhen you compute the standard error using the standard deviation and the sample size, you are estimating the variability in the sample mean.\n\nWhen you estimate confidence intervals, you are estimating the range of possible values where the population may lie relative to your sample mean.\n\nFor instance, your sample mean plus or minus 1.96 standard errors represents an estimate of the 95% confidence interval or range that may contain the population mean relative to your sample mean.  There is a 5% chance that the population mean is actually higher or lower than this range.\n\nLet's say you toss a coin twenty times and measure 9 heads and 11 tails.  The average number of coin tosses at 0.45 heads (which implies 0.55 tails).  The standard error estimate is 0.055343. Multipling the standard error estimate by 1.96 and adding and subtracting the result from the mean yields our 95% confidence interval. There is a 95% chance that the population mean for this process is between 0.341528 and 0.558472.


What legal requirements are there to start a small business (sole proprietorship) in N.C.?

As a sole prop, you first need to decide whether you will be doing biz as yourself, i.e., Jane Doe, or with a fictitious business name (aka DBA, doing-business-as).\n\nIf you will do business as yourself, then you just need to find out if there are any licensing requirments for your type of biz in your city/county/state.  Your local county recorders office can most definitely give you guidance on that.  If needed, obtain the necessary license, genrally by paying a reasonable fee.\n\nThen you need to open a bank account for your business.  Although you can use your current personal checking account (as a sole prop, you are allowed to do this), for accounting and business record purposes, not to mention taxes, it is adviseable you open a seperate account for the biz.\n\nIf you want to do biz under a fictitious biz name, you must pay a visit to your county recorder's office and file a DBA.  Once you have the DBA, you can open a checking account under the DBA name, i.e., Quality Window Cleaning.\n\nThose are the basics.  However, there is one very important thing you should do that is not technically "required".  And that is preparing a sound biz plan.  Put your ideas in writing.  Take the most important elements and come up with strategies on how you will market, finance and grow your biz.  Too many people fail to take this VERY important step and end up failing.  There are many business plan resources out there, many of them free.  Visit the web site for the SMall Business Administration for some free resources on this topic.\n\nGood luck on your endeavor and feel free to contact me at aizadpanah@yahoo.com with any questions.


Who will win the series, Tampa Bay or Ottawa?

Ottawa was the number 1 team in terms of scoring this season and Tampas' Goalies have struggled. Also the Sens won all four regular season games. I think Tampa gets lucky and wins one at home. Ottawa in 5.


Hours of Operation for Construction Sites?

often the county sets forth the hours...7am to 10pm are the rules where I live.....however, with road construction it often goes on during the night to minimize the disruption to traffic...I have had to deal with this in the past and it can be very annoying...contact the county to find out the laws where you live.


Battle for 8th spot in the Eastern Conference...Who gets it? 76ers, or Bulls?

The Bulls probably will win it because the 76ers haven't found a consistant line-up like the Bulls have. The Bulls behind the guard play of Hinrich, Gordon, and Duhon, the strength of Nocioni, and the finese play of Deng, will overtake the spuddering 76ers in the playoff race.\n\nAlthough... you can never count out Iverson's toughness and determination...


Pro- It deters from weird dressers and otherwise inappropriate attaire. People look the same and you can tell who the employees are. \n\nCons- not all people look good in a uniform. In a business setting they do not look professional.

Who has been told they talk too much?don't know when to hush up,if someone will listen I will keep talkin,

Yes, you can help it.  Conversation is talking AND listening.  At the next opportunity make a focussed effort to talk as little as possible.  This will be hard.  Very hard.  Don't start talking just because no one else is speaking.  When you do talk, keep it short and to the point.  When you think you need to say just one more thing, Don't!  Save it for the next time you talk.\n\nThis will be excruciating the first time you do it.  But as you do it more you'll be amazed by three things: 1] other people are [almost] as smart as you are;  2] people will pay greater attention to what you say; and 3] other people will say what you were thinking, but when they say it, it sounds kinda stupid.  Which it would have sounded had you said it.\n\nIt only took me about 15 years to figure this out, but it's made a huge difference in both what I can get done, and the respect I [and my work] get.


What does an academic quality controller do in a school?

Makes sure the curriculum is up to snuff with state standards.  There's an enormously important movement happening, especially with the No Child Left Behind Act, to make sure schools are doing what they're supposed to be doing.  QC ensures that schools are held accountable for doing right, or not.

Kris Kross was a young rap duo of the early 1990s most famous for wearing their clothes backward. The two members of Kris Kross were Chris "Mack Daddy" Kelly and Chris "Daddy Mack" Smith, both born 1979.\n\nThey were discovered in 1991 performing at a mall in Atlanta, Georgia, by Jermaine Dupri. The duo's album, Totally Krossed Out, was released in 1992 and managed to sell more than four million copies. It included the hit single "Jump", which stayed at number one on the Billboard charts for eight weeks. This landed them a spot on Michael Jackson's European tour that year.\n\nReleased in 1993, a second album, entitled Da Bomb failed to match their early success. 1995 saw the release of their final album Young, Rich & Dangerous which was also a commercial disappointment. By the end they stopped wearing their clothes backwards.\n\nA curiosity of Kris Kross' career was a television commercial they starred in to advertise the soft drink Sprite in 1992–93.\n\nAfter Kris Kross's demise, Kelly and Smith began writing and producing albums.


Is this a crazy idea? I see our government and our freedoms collapsing around us....?

Yes, it is crazy.\n\nSix generals (five retired two-stars and one retired four-star) out of 4,000+ are bitching because they disagree with Rumsfeld's management style.  Okay, he is a hard guy to work for, no argument.  But their main gripe is that Rumsfeld is turning the military into something it needs -something these guys disagree with.  Rumsfeld has also tried to resign twice, and it's true that Bush won't let him, because he (as well as most of the military & civilian leadership at the Pentagon) know full well that what Rumsfeld is doing IS important.\n\nSecond, the government is asking for those search records to track down who's been surfing child-porn sites, and to see who's been trying to build bombs (but mainly it's done to take down the perverts).\n\nTexas cops raiding bars and arresting drunk people...not sure where this story came from or if this is just an isolated incident.  But public intoxication *is* a crime.  It also may be the people arrested were harrassing and/or threatening someone else, also a crime.\n\nA report coming out that marijuana doesn't have any medicinal uses?  Well, reports on what is good & what isn't keep going back and forth.  Give it about another 18-24 months and you'll see the opposite.  Again.\n\nThe war (I assume this refers to Iraq) being a joke and a lie.  I'm not sure I should dignify this with a response, but the truth is that, contrary to what gets reported on the news, Iraq has in fact been much improved over the past three years.  It should be noted that the entire number of American casualties (though I agree that even one death or maiming is a tragedy) is so low as to be unprecedented.  Iraq is stabilizing, and the way things are going, a significant number of troops should be home by the end of the year.\n\nOil prices are, like every other commodity in the world, subject to that force known as 'economics'.  In this case, there's so much demand (and not so much to go around) that the price keeps rising.  Meanwhile, because we're talking about billions of people buying their product(s), oil companies have become extremely wealthy.  It may not be 'fair', but that's economics for you.  Nobody ever said economics -hell, the world in general- is 'fair'.\n\nImmigration reform.  Well, if you understood how many people in the country are truly pissed off about these people a) breaking the law to get here, b) undercutting wages for legal workers, and c) getting preferential treatment in some cases over legal immigrants, you might understand why so many people are up in arms.  And it *is* a serious threat to security.  If ordinary illegals can cross, then so can those wackos from MS-13, so can drug smugglers (and these guys do), and so can terrorists (Although in a lot of ways, MS-13 guys ARE terrorists).\n\nThe guy in South Carolina?  Well, everyone has different things they're offended by, and he's just exercising his rights to be a concerned citizen.\n\nAs to this 'plan'...like I said, yes, it's a crazy idea.  Remember, the people who would enforce things are as human as everyone else, and I doubt you could find enough people -civilian or military- to go along with this.  Bush doesn't want to be a dictator; he's just extremely stubborn in doing things.  Mind you, he's annoyed me a lot of times, either for doing what I see as something dumb, or for doing something I agree with, but not communicating *why* it's a good idea.\n\nBy the way, it's spelled "martial law".  "Marshall" is someone's last name.\n\nAnd despite what a couple of people seem to be concerned about here, no, the FBI, CIA, NSA, Secret Service, etc., do NOT monitor these sites.  They (especially the law enforcement guys) are extremely sensitive to such things, since they're tasked with upholding the law.  They only check into such things when they get a tip (e.g. some idiot on

Why do pakistani's smell a bit funny and spit alot?

It is definitely the abundant use of spices in Indo Pak food - but also some people fromt he Indian subcontinent (I am Indian) normally wear the same clothes for cooking and going out - as you know clothes and hair readily absorb all kinds of smell. \n\nVery often if you stant next to such a person, you will be able to figure out what that person cooked that day (and maybe get invited for dinner!)\n\nA good suggestion would be to do what I do - keep a few sets of clothes asie for such chores, use a shower cap for your hair and cook before you shower.\n\nSpitting is done only if they are chewing tobacco leaves  or 'paan' - swallowing the juice of tobacco leaves is quite heady and may cause dizziness. Don't know any other reason for spitting.....


Why does the Bible say Jesus hates gays?

The Bible is a product of the church, written to retain social control over the masses that believe in it. 'God's Will' seems to favour the bourgeoisie ideology not the humble proletariat  who had nothing. Religion is so mixed up now and along with money is the only other reason why so many wars are breaking out. I think that your sexuality is biologically determined - In your genetics before you are born. Believe in what you choose too, but always remember to stay true to who you are.


Is it better to get one secured credit card for 2000. Or to get four with 500 from different places?

Why don't you get 2 secured cards with a $1,000 credit line each. After one year of on time payments you will most likely get your $2,000 back and have 2 revolving accounts reporting to your credit file.\n\nI like the programs from Bank of America and Wells Fargo because they have low annual fees, no junk fees and report to all 3 credit bureaus. Also as you improve your credit score you will have access to their other credit products which are competitive.\n\nThe other place you can go is your local credit union. \n\nCheck out www.bankrate.com for all the secured card programs.\n\nGood Luck


Is acrylic considered a type of plastic?

YES\n\nAcrylic is a useful, clear plastic that resembles glass, but has properties that make it superior to glass in many ways.\n\nAnother great advantage of acrylic is that it is only half as heavy as glass. This makes working with acrylic much easier. It can also be sawed, whereas glass must be scored.\n\nAdding to this favorable array of properties, a transparency rate of 93% makes acrylic the clearest material known. Very thick glass will have a green tint, while acrylic remains clear.\n\nThere are some misconceptions about acrylic, namely that it yellows, turns brittle and cracks over time. Though this might be true of very cheap forms of plastic, it is not so with acrylic. For example, the fighter planes of WWII have acrylic bubble-tops. Airplane windows are also acrylic. If taken care of, acrylic remains new looking regardless of age or exposure to sun. Some people worry that acrylic scratches too easily, but unlike glass, scratches can be easily buffed out of acrylic.\n\nI hope your doubt got clarified....Is isn't it?\n\nOtherwise check the following URL

Is laughter an innate response? if a kid is born blind and deaf, would he/she know how to laugh?

Yes.. Hellen Keller laughed.. and she was born blind and deaf


If you mean Scientology then I can tell very simply. Because I actually know.\n\nScientology is an applied religious philosophy. When I say "applied" I mean you actually use it in your life to change or improve existing conditions. This is different from a religious practice. All religions if you learn about them have a basic philosphy, but they also have certain dogma, rituals and observances, and a certain faith or belief is required. There is nothing wrong with this, but Scientology is not that kind of religion. It does not intrude on anyones faiths of beliefs particularly in the area of God , the Supreme Being, or the Infinite. This area is left totally up to the indivdual, which is why you can be a practicing Jew for example and still use and apply the priniciples of Scientology in your life. It does not conflict. If anything it will enhance your understanding of your chosen religious practice.\nAnd it is only true for you according to your own observation and experience with it.\n\nThe most basic principle of Scientology is that YOU are your own immortal soul, that this is not a "thing" you HAVE but what YOU actually are.\nThe whole purpose of Scientology is to increase an individual's understanding and awareness of himself. And thereby his native abilities .\nWhen you do this the spere and zone of his positive influence increases and moves outward into his life, his family ,his friends, his groups and mankind which he is part of.\n\nHow this result is achieved is the "technology" of Scientology, which was developed by L.Ron Hubbard after his extensive research and the discoveries he made, about the human spirit.\n\nHe published a book in 1951 to communicate the basic principles he discovered called: " Scientology The Fundementals of Thought"\nIf you read this basic book then you also will know for yourself what it is.


What is the electron cloud sequence for the element, tungsten(wolfram)?


Why can't we be sexually attracted to in-animate objects?

I think maybe if society brought us up to be physically attracted to chocolate, we would be. Or maybe it's just in our nature to be aroused by our own species, because in the end, that is what gives us life?

Love the link! The people getting upset by this are the ones it's referring to. It is not the duty of the United States to unconditionally open up its borders and let in all comers. It's foolish and is getting out of control. Look at what's been happening in France with all of the Muslim immigrants that have been coming in unchecked all these years. Open riots in the streets of Paris! This is what America is becoming at a high rate of speed. Legal immigration = OK. Illegal immigration = NO MAS!


Marcels Delivery Service charges a fee of $50 for arranging to have a package delivered and $40 per half hour?

What is fragmentation? When can external fragmentation occur and how is it overcome?

External fragmentation is the phenomenon where the free space, the space still available for use, in a piece of storage becomes divided into many small pieces. It is caused over time by allocating and deallocating ("freeing") pieces of the storage space of many different sizes. The result is that, although one may have plenty of free space, one may not be able to use it all, or at least use it as efficiently as one would like to.For example, in dynamic memory allocation, a block of 1000 bytes might be requested, but the largest contiguous block of free space, or memory hole, has only 300. Even if there are ten blocks of 300 bytes of free space, separated by allocated regions, one still cannot allocate the requested block of 1000 bytes.\nExternal fragmentation also occurs in file systems as many files of different sizes are created, change size, and are deleted. The effect is even worse if a file which is divided into many small pieces is deleted, because this leaves similarly small regions of free space.

I think he won't come. I think none of the players from a national team will.


Anyone remember a cartoon called "The Mutant League"?  It rocked!?

yup watch it. its nice and i think it rocked 2....\nlemme give u a short description.\nMutant League was a cartoon series based on Mutant League Football and Mutant League Hockey by Electronic Arts.\n\nDuring a football game an earthquake reveals buried toxic waste, and the fumes cause all of the atendees and players to mutate, incluing young Bones Justice (cf. Bones Jackson in the games). A sports federation based around the superhuman beings, the Mutant League, springs up, and Bones grows up to play for the Midway Monsters. Corrupt league commissioner Zalgor Prig constantly schemes to get the popular athlete to play for the team he owns, the Slaycity Slayers, or if nothing else discredit him for refusing to join the Slayers. Bones' search for his father, missing since the day of the quake, and his personal quest to bring order and fairplay to the league, are subplots throughout the series. Several other characters from the games such as Razor Kid, Mo and Spew, K.T. Slayer, Grim McSlam and Coach McWimple regularly appear in the show.\n\nUnlike the games, players didn't die from their unique approach to contact sports; though frequently maimed to the point of losing bodyparts, through treatments in a machine called the Rejuventaor which bathed them in toxic chemicals, they would soon be as good as new. The show also has no robot players, and only five teams: the Monsters, the Slayers, the Ooze, the Derangers and the Screaming Evils. It also has the teams competing in all manner of sports, not just the ones seen in the games. Most commonly football, but also hockey, basketball, soccer, baseball and even monster truck races and sumo wrestling. Some episodes end with a "grudge match" between two particular players.\n\nThe show ran for two seasons, with the second typically incorporating more poignant stories and issues, while the first seemed somewhat hodgepodge with little regard for continuity (the Monsters have one win streak that ends twice, for instance).


does anyone know any inclusive activities for disabled people of any ability?? thanks?

You really need to specify what disabilities you are trying to provide accomodations for, and what subjects/activities you're involved in.\n\nExcept for people who are severely or profoundly impaired, inclusive activities should be the same activities as everyone else is doing. You just give them a bit more time, or physical supports, or whatever they need to be able to participate successfully.\n\nFor severely or profoundly impaired people, you really have to identify what they really CAN do, and create an activity similar or a part of everyone else's that uses their abilities.\n\nFor example, I have a 4th grade profoundly MR student with microencephaly. She attends the regular ed music class. For musical instrument exploration time, we give her the jingle bells to play when everyone else is working on guitar, violin, keyboards, drums, etc. and her educational assistant helps her know when it's her turn to shake those bells!

well 5 de mayo is a Mexican holiday so I would say it is Mexican music mainly mariachi or something alike

how does one test whether something is a function or not?

You're probably talking about the vertical line test.  A relation is a function iff you can draw a vertical line anywhere and intersect the function at just one point.\n\nSo, something like y = x is a function because a vertical line always hits just one point.  y^2 = x is not a function because if you draw a vertical line at x=4, it hits the graph at both (4,2) and (4,-2).

Can anybody tell me how to deal with a cousin who is pregnant?

If you really care about your cousin, love her unconditionally. When you start putting conditions on love, it is not love. It would be great if you could concentrate on yourself : you are worried about what people will think about you. People will judge you by your actions, not the actions of your cousin. You have BOUNDARY problems. Try to accept all people as individuals.

The Federation of Malaysia is a federation of 13 states in Southeast Asia, formed in 1963.\n\nThe country consists of two geographical regions divided by the South China Sea:\n\nWest Malaysia (or Peninsular Malaysia) on the Malay Peninsula shares a land border on the north with Thailand and is connected by the Johor-Singapore Causeway and the Malaysia-Singapore Second Link on the south with Singapore. It consist of the 11 states Johor, Kedah, Kelantan, Malacca, Negeri Sembilan, Pahang, Perak, Perlis, Penang, Selangor and Terengganu, and the two federal territories Putrajaya and Kuala Lumpur. \nEast Malaysia occupies the northern part of the island of Borneo, bordering Indonesia and the Sultanate of Brunei. It consists of the federal territory of Labuan islands and the states of Sabah and Sarawak. \nThe Malay Peninsula has long benefited from its central position in the maritime trade routes between China and the Middle East. Ptolemy showed it on his early map with a label that translates as "Golden Chersonese", the Straits of Malacca as "Sinus Sabaricus".\n\nThe earliest recorded Malay kingdoms grew from coastal city-ports established in the 10th century AD. These include Langkasuka and Lembah Bujang in Kedah, as well as Beruas and Gangga Negara in Perak and Pan Pan in Kelantan. It is thought that originally these were Hindu or Buddhist nations. The first evidence of Islam in the Malay peninsula dates from the 14th century in Terengganu.\n\nIn the early 15th century, the Sultanate of Malacca was established under a dynasty founded by Parameswara, a prince from Palembang, who fled from the island Temasek (now Singapore). Parameswara decided to establish his kingdom in Malacca after witnessing an astonishing incident where a white mouse deer kicked one of his hunting dogs. With Malacca as its capital, the sultanate controlled the areas which are now Peninsula Malaysia, southern Thailand (Patani), and the eastern coast of Sumatra. It existed for more than a century, and within that time period Islam spread to most of the Malay Archipelago. Malacca was the foremost trading port at the time in Southeast Asia.\n\nIn 1511, Malacca was conquered by Portugal, which established a colony there. The sons of the last sultan of Malacca established two sultanates elsewhere in the peninsula - the Sultanate of Perak to the north, and the Sultanate of Johor (originally a continuation of the old Malacca sultanate) to the south. After the fall of Malacca, three nations struggled for the control of Malacca Strait: the Portuguese (in Malacca), the Sultanate of Johor, and the Sultanate of Aceh. This conflict went on till 1641, when the Dutch (allied to the Sultanate of Johor) gained control of Malacca.\n\nBritain established its first colony in the Malay peninsula in 1786, with the granting of the island of Penang to the British East India Company by the Sultan of Kedah. In 1824, the British took control of Malacca following the Anglo-Dutch Treaty of 1824 which divided the Malaya archipelago between Britain and the Netherlands, with Malaya in the British zone. In 1826, Britain established the crown colony of the Straits Settlements, uniting its three possessions in Malaya: Penang, Malacca and Singapore. The Straits Settlements were administered under the East India Company in Calcutta until 1867, when they were transferred to the Colonial Office in London.\nDuring the late 19th century, many Malay states decided to obtain British help in settling their internal conflicts. The commercial importance of tin mining in the Malay states to merchants in the Straits Settlemens led to British government intervention in the tin-producing states in the Malay Peninsula. British gunboat diplomacy was employed to bring about a peaceful resolution to civil disturbances caused by Chinese gangsters, and the Pangkor Treaty of 1874 paved the way for the expansion of British influence in Malaya. By the turn of the 20th century the states of Pahang,

Is there a strong market for a sandwich shop?

Depends where you locate it and the competition you may have - obviously you can only really locate a sandwich shop around an area heavily populated by businesses (as, although I dont know the stats i would guess 80% of your business would be a lunch whilst people are at work).  When I buy a sandwich for work lunch i will invariably go to the closest one.  Not sure where you live but I work in central london and you are never more than 3 minutes walk from a sandwich shop - not much point starting up there! as you've got all the 'large' competitors there

Can I cut my husband's family name even we are still married?

You can legally do that. But it may upset your husband. If it is too long, you can just kept your name as is...Just start signing your name to documents with a shorter name. I use to work in customer service for years, people used credit cards with had their nickname on them. Although they didn't legally change their name.\n\nI use my middle name with my first name all the time. On your license they can use a middle initial instead of the whole name. Their are ways around the long name, without the hassle of legal fees/procedure and upsetting your husband.


How do I lower a website's Google ranking in a legitimate act of vengeance?


What is the origin or source of the term "left foot of fellowship"?

I'm not exactly sure of the true meaning of "left foot of fellowship" but my guess would be that it's from what our Lord said concerning judgment, "When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, He will sit on His throne in heavenly glory. All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will put the sheep on His right and the goats on His left.etc." It goes on to say how the sheep are the blessed of God and the goats are cursed of God. So, my interpretation of your questions would be that the right hand of fellowship would be between true Christian believers and the left hand of fellowship would be between the "so-called" Christians.


Are you tired of the hate? What do you do to take care of yourself in such a sad angry world?

I know just what you mean.. the first thing I did was stop watching so much  TV. It's depressing. I love music. Listing to music and making music. I sing. I play my piano. I visit friends and family. Having people around you that love you is huge! I work in my yard alot. grow something! learn to cook. read. create a quiet place for yourself. your home is you Sanctuary! find time to be alone.\nIf I get enough time alone to do what I love and think about my life and the people in it then the hate in the world rolls off my back. Choose to not have it in your life by filling your life with positive things. (and People)\nGood luck to you and have a great day!


you and my girlfriend have something in common. She knows what it is like to be in your shoes. Her one time friend was my ex-girfriend. After my ex and I split up a year after, I began seeing the girl i am with now. we have been together for almost a year now. I posted a question on this subject a while back. \nto answer your question... I think a letter is a good way to start. If you were to approach her, pride might keep her from listening to what you have to say with open arms. If you send her a letter, she can read what you feel in privacy... without having to be forced to control her emotions and her curiousity will allow you to get everything out to her. Then its up to her of course.

Blue balls is a slang term for a temporary fluid congestion in the scrotum and prostate region caused by prolonged sexual arousal in the human male. It is most commonly associated with adolescents but can occur in any sexually mature male. It is often accompanied by a deep, agonizing, cramping ache of prostatic congestion and pain of the testes.\n\nThe main cause of blue balls is prolonged sexual stimulation of the erect penis, either by direct or indirect contact, that does not result in orgasm and ejaculation.

Is LaZeR HaIr ReMoVaL  safe? Anyone had it done???

Depends on what you mean by safe. I had it done and am no worse off, but it can cause the treated spot to become lighter (usually indicates the collagen is rebuilding) or even darker. This could be permanent. Different lasers and treatment administrators can mean different results, for better or worse. Make sure your provider has worked with your type of skin before, and even then, I would try a small spot (a sample treatment) to see if your skin will react negatively. \n\nOn the plus side, the laser did eliminate a cycle of hair growth.\n\nTips: \n\n1-Ask questions from the office like should you shave prior to treatment and do they use a cooling gel or spray.\n\n2-Wear clothing that covers the area, so you don't get a lot of looks when you leave. \n\n3-Take a pain killer before you go, preferrably at least 30 minutes before. It hurts. Imagine snapping a rubber band several times in one small area--or large area, if you mean legs or other.


This is a hard one. I am a fairly high-level competitive gymnast (*points to username*), and state champion though nowhere near elite level, and I started at age 4. It's really hard to accustom your body to the movements and have enough time to even reach the easiest competitive level if you start after age 10, or maybe 12 at the latest. 17 is supposed to be the peak that you reach after years and years of constant work.\n\nI certainly don't want to discourage you from starting my beloved sport, but I just want to warn you about it all. If you still feel sure about it, go right ahead and try it, though! (It will be a lot easier if you lift weights and stretch at home as well as at practice.)\n\nHowever, if you are not sure, I'd advise you to start off with a tumbling and dance class instead of full-blown gymnastics. You'd be able to advance more quickly since there would be less to learn, but you'd still get the floor exercise elements of gymnastics. In fact, if you're really good at it, you may even be invited to join the actual gymnastics team!\n\nAlso, most gyms offer "open gym" a couple of times a month (usually a Friday night), when you can go into the gym to play around and practice. It's a great opportunity to get used to the equipment and stuff.\n\nI hope this answer isn't too long, but I just really wanted to help someone who's interested in my passion! Whatever you decide to do, I'd love it if you'd email me to let me know. Happy gymnastics!

what is the significance of squids being thrown onto the ice in hockey?

Actually, they don't do it when a hat-trick occurs.  The tradition in yesteryear was to throw it on the ice for the first goal of the playoffs (and/or series).\n\nBack when the league was formed and there were only six teams, four made the playoffs and you'd need to win four games in each series to win the Stanley Cup.  Four wins in each series meant eight wins total... one win for every leg of the octopus.\n\nNowadays, Detroit fans throw them on the ice every chance they can.

Definitely fiction. Sorry for the lengthy explanation. It's cut and pasted from a ChristianityToday article. See link below.\n1. Was Jesus married to Mary Magdalene?\nNo. Mary Magdalene was certainly close to Jesus. She wept at Jesus' tomb (John 20). Jesus even entrusted her to return and tell the disciples about his resurrection. But we have no reason to believe they were married. Brown says that Leonardo da Vinci's Last Supper reveals the secret. He writes that the figure to Jesus' right, traditionally known as the apostle John, is actually Mary. Not true. Artists often gave characters feminine features to portray youth. John was the youngest of the disciples.\n\nBrown correctly observes that few Jewish men of Jesus' day did not marry. But why, then, did the apostle Paul, himself celibate, not mention Jesus and Mary when he argued that apostles could marry (1 Cor. 9:5)?\n\n2. What about these alternative gospels that aren't in the New Testament?\nIt's true that the Bible did not arrive as a "fax from heaven," as Brown writes. The New Testament canon in its current form was first formally attested in 367. Nevertheless, church leaders applied important standards when compiling the Bible. Authors of accepted writings needed to have walked and talked with Jesus, or at least with his leading disciples. Their teaching could not contradict what other apostles had written, and their documents must have been accepted by the entire church, from Jerusalem to Rome. Church leaders considered earlier letters and reports more credible than later documents. Finally, they prayed and trusted the Holy Spirit to guide their decisions. \n\nThe so-called Gnostic gospels, many discovered just last century, did not meet these criteria. Many appeared much later than the Bible and were dubiously attributed to major Christian leaders. Their teachings contrasted with what apostles like Paul had written. For example, many Gnostic writings argued that Jesus did not appear in the flesh, because flesh is evil, or they rejected the Old Testament. \n\n3. Were there really competing Christianities during the early church?\nYes—in the sense there were many disputes about the nature of Jesus. And the church has done its best to vanquish challengers to orthodoxy. Once the church decided against the Gnostic writings, they gathered and burned all the Gnostic manuscripts they could find. \n\nLater church councils convened to discuss other threats to Christian orthodoxy. Constantine, the first Roman emperor to make Christianity legal, called the most important of these meetings in 325. Leaders from around the Christian world gathered in Nicea, where they debated Arianism, which taught that God created Jesus. Brown writes that Constantine called this council so he could introduce a new divine Jesus on par with the Father. On the contrary, documents from before Nicea show that most followers of Jesus already called him LORD, the Yahweh of the Old Testament. The church leaders at Nicea rejected Arianism and affirmed that God and Jesus existed together from the beginning in the Trinity. This council produced the first drafts of what became the Nicene Creed, a landmark explanation of Christian belief. \n\n4. What is Opus Dei?\nA conservative religious group within the Roman Catholic Church. Opus Dei urges priests and laypeople to strenuously pursue sanctification through everyday discipline. The group has taken criticism for its conservative views, zeal, and secretive practices. There is no evidence that Opus Dei has resorted to murder; nor has the Vatican entrusted Opus Dei to violently guard the church's deepest secrets, as Dan Brown claims in The Da Vinci Code. \n\n5. Does the Priory of Sion really exist?\nYes, but not as described by Brown. Researchers suspect that members of the real-life Priory of Sion, founded in 1956, forged documents that placed major historical figures—such as Isaac Newton and Leonard da Vinci—in

Shouldn't everyone face the face that eventually we are all going to die...?

I believe this is an exellent question. But more than that, I think you've already answered it even better. I mean, you are totally right about people not willing to take risks and live fully. I personally live up with this idea and I have ended up in a lot of luck by just listening to my instinct, heart, and mind. This question can keep me going on and on, but what good will it make? \n\nIt is said that if all the wealth in the world were to be divided equally among all the people, in 20 years the poor will be poor and the rich will be rich back again. Unfortunately, There are those who were born to scrub public restrooms and those who take chances and end up in somewhat better job (If not the best job there is). And YES, College does NOT guarantee success but how you apply yourself! Everyone who looses and turns the failure into an experience is a winner. \n\nAnd yes, I walk the talk. I am independent, 21 year old Mexican, quatri-lingual, living in China and running my own import export buisness. If I were home sick, or was too afraid to go into a country where I did not know the language, I would have done nothing. \n\nIn life, there are those who succeed, and those who will just watch. Which one are you??


what is the best diet pill for quick weight loss?

Nobody wants to hear it but there are none, diet pills are a waste of money.  If people see results from diet pills they have side effects and are short lived.  The best thing too do is change your diet and start exercising as you'll hear over and over again.  There are some diets that teach you how to eat healthy and help in losing weight (south beach has had good results for a lot of people, but if you're not careful after the diet, you can gain all the weight back plus more). \n\nLearn what different foods do for you, try to cut out all processed foods and cut back on the sugar.  Keep a food diary of every little thing you eat daily.  To find the amount of calories you need to lose weight multiply your body weight by 12 or 15 to start off with. Once you try eating this amount of calories, if you're losing more then 2 lbs you may be losing too much weight, if you're losing about 1 lb a week that would be considered normal.   Make adjustments as needed every two weeks.  You can input your food intake and keep track of calories at fitday.com.    You'll find that small adjustments make the world of difference in the way you feel --you'll have more energy.  It takes 21 days to form a habit so hopefully this will help you get started on the road to a healthy lifestyle.  Remember eat to live, not live to eat.  Good luck!


what is the validity period a sale agreement if no time limit is mentioned in the agreement?

This really depends upon the state and the contract (assuming that is that by sale agreement you mean contract for sale).\n\nMost form contracts will have a specific date written in for the closing.  If not, they have provisions that would require a closing within 30 to 60 days of the effective date (date when contract was made).\n\nIf there are no provisions for a timeline, then you'd have to find out what your state laws regarding real estate contracts would say is a 'reasonable' amount of time to complete the transaction.\n\nHave to admit though, it sounds to me like if there is no dates or timeline listed any where, not even a blank that says, 'if blank closing to be within 30 days', you might not have a legitamate contract for sale.

Or else the entire cast of Ek Ajnabee wouldn’t be singing her praises. To quote Arjun Rampal, “She is mind blowing” Perizaad goes a step further and declares, “Rucha is the star of the film!” When Apoorva Lakhia saw her, he decided that she would play the character of Anamika in Ek Ajnabee. The character required to swim in the film and Rucha didn’t know how to. But Apoorva was convinced that only Rucha could do justice to the role and so she learnt how to swim, and was on board! She certainly must have made quite an impression! Like we said, there must be something about her. \n\nFor those who do not know, she is Rucha Vaidya. The same child actress who was last seen in Harry Baweja’s Main Aisa Hi Hoon. And now she will be seen in the eagerly awaited Apoorva Lakhia directed, Ek Ajnabee. So how old was she when she first started off? Just about six! After having done a number of ads, she did her first film. Her experience of working in Ek Ajnabee included a lot of masti on the sets. \n\nA film with Mr.Amitabh Bachchan. And she is not even a teenager yet! Mr. Bachchan must have definitely had some tips for this young actress. “I learnt a lot of things from him. He knows the camera well! He told me to look in the eyes and speak. And one more thing that she has learnt during the making is swimming. The little girl confesses that she grew to like it so much that during the shooting she refused to get out of the pool, when Apoorva asked her to! \n\nIf you’re wondering how she managed school with the shooting, it wasn’t a problem as the film was shot during her summer holidays. Though she missed school for about a week, she managed to catch up with help from teachers and friends. Quiz her about the reactions of friends and teachers and she replies, “They are the same. Just like what they were before. Nobody pays extra attention to me! I am not a star child in my school.” \n\nAs a parting thought, does she see herself as a typical Bollywood actress when she grows up? She surprises you with a, “No!.. I want to be a scientist with I grow up!” Till such time that she does, let’s enjoy watching this small wonder create magic on the big screen!

How to Use two hard disks on a single PC?

I have been using 2 HDDs in one comp for several years. One unit is with the operating system and where most of the important activities are performed and the other one is for documents and backups and programs that could not be placed into the master.

Jewish people cant eat pork, shellfish, and other food but if they have pets can the pets eat it?

You would have to ask someone who was Jewish. But animals do not have souls which are "accountable" for sin, so I wouldn't think that it would matter to the animal. They aren't going to go to hell. But the owner is in charge of what the pet gets to eat (most of the time!) so it would be up to them.

Does anyone know of a job a 15 year old can get?

depends on your talents.  \n\nBaybsitting, fast-food, retail store.  \n\nOr maybe you could try to find something a bit more unique that you and you alone are good at and try to self-promote that as a small summer business.\n\nThere is a high school kid in my neighborhood that is teaching the little kids in the neighborhood how to play bass guitar for a hour/day 3 days/week.  He talked to all the parents and they are paying him for it.  Pretty good $$$ from what he tells me.\n\nTry to find something like that.

what are the reason ghosts are around us?

A: They're whats termed "grounded." They're here because they don't know how to leave or they're not willing to go. B: They're in whats called "visitation." They've gone on but they come back from time to time to visit. And this for reasons of their own. C: Its not really a spirit entity, but rather whats known as "residual energy." Kind of like a shadow or echo left behind after what was perhaps a rather intense life. Intense for that individual anyway.


Not sure if you mean the male gender or mankind, itself, but I want to put my two cents in, here. The act of sex, alone, gives one a feeling of total togetherness. The feeling of being one with the other person. The pleasure part of it could be a book all it's own. That's the gooooood part!


Why surface top soils differ in color on various parts of the earth?

The mineral composition of the soil affects whether the it will be red or light colored. We have a lot of clay in NC - orange & red indicates that iron is present. The parent material from which the soil came from has a lot to do with determining the mineral content.\n\nBeach sands can be all different colors because of their parent material. Black sand beaches of Hawaii came from basaltic lava parent material.\n\nOrganic matter can also cause soils to be different colors. Usually the darker the soil the more organic matter.


What is destiny? Do we find it or it finds us?

It is a false belief.  To prove this, imagine a man wakes up every morning and takes a revolver pistol to his head and spins the barrel with only one bullet in it.  Every morning he spins the barrel and pulls the trigger.  If the gun does NOT fire, it's not his time to die (destiny).  If the gun does fire, he will die (destiny).\n\nNO, THAT'S JUST PLANE STUPID.\n\nLife is what we make it.  If I were destined to be a million air why should I work for it?  It will come on it's own.  NO?  NO ! ! !  If I don't get up and provide for myself I will die.  I will die because of my own slothfulness and NOT due to destiny.\n\nDon't wait for things to happen.  Make them happen.

Students shouldn't be able to defend themselves at school without any consequence. What do you think, and why?

As "wimpy" as it sounds, I really don't support physical fighting at school.  It's not very productive at all and usually just gets the students involved suspended.  There are other ways to work out problems.


I have a realy mean teacher and she hates me i have to spend all day with her what do i do?

What does she say/do that makes you specifically think she is mean?\n\nInstead of worrying about what she is doing, you should be thinking about what you are doing. Teachers REACT to student behavior. Therefore, there is probably something you are doing that angers her. Are you doing your work, staying quiet (except for class discussion time), helping around the classroom during cleanup, waiting politely for help and asking courteously, etc.?\n\nIf your HONEST answer to each of the above is yes, you are hard-working, courteous, and helpful, then look at the overall class behavior. Are there people who are just absolutely driving her nuts? If that is the case, talk to her about your feelings when she yells at everyone when it's only a few people... and time when you are going to talk to her carefully. Wait for a moment when she smiles when she sees you...lol!\n\nIf all the students are courteous, hard-working, and helpful, then she's stressed out about her colleagues or her private life. Talk to your parents about your feelings, and remember that the end of the school year is very soon!

Uniform Motion Problems - Equal Distance?

Let's think about how to solve these and maybe that will help you with others,\n\n1. Christian makes the trip twice as fast as Eloise.  Therefore his trip would take half the time.  If his trip was three hours shorter, then 3 hours is half the time.  His trip was 3 hours, Eloises was 6 hours.  So if Christian traveled at 30 mph for 3 hours, and Eloise traveled at 15mph for 6 hours .. how far is that?\n\n[modified below with details for additional answers]\n2. Basically \n4mph x SomeTime = SomeDistance\n5mph x (Sometime-1 hour) = SomeDistance\n\nor, \nif 4x=y and 5(x-1)=y\nthen,\n4x=5x-5\n4x-5x=-5\n-x=-5\nx=5  (this is the SomeTime)\n\ngoing back to the first equation\n4mph x SomeTime = SomeDistance\n4mph x 5hours = 20 Miles\n\ndoublecheck with the second equation,\n5mph x (Sometime-1hour) = SomeDistance\n5mph x (5hours-1hour) = 5mph x 4hours = 20 miles\n\n\n3. If the fast freight was going 60mph for 6 hours (noon to 6pm), then the whole trip is how far? .. 360 miles.  If the slow freight takes 8 hours to go 360 miles, then what is the speed of the slow freight?  360mph/8m = 45 mph

How can I find back issues of newspapers on the Internet,Ive looked for them on many newspaper sites but I nee

Complete newspaper archives are kept at many libraries on microfiche. You can make copies of articles, photos and the like from these archives. Most newspapers only keep a partial collection of articles in their internet archives. I'm not aware of many newspapers who publish their entire newspaper on the web.

You may be taking things a little too seriously. Why not try to plan these things together for a while so that he can get the idea of what you are looking for. The poor guy may just have no creativity. Believe me, some guys just lack creativity completely and when asked about being romantic they give you the 'what's that?' face. By the way I let my husband plan my 22nd birthday party in our first year of marriage. I thought he forgot as it was getting late in the evening. Around 9pm he walks to the room I was in with a rice crispy treat bearing a candle and no presents or even a card! I took one look and started laughing which really hurt his feelings. He thought a quiet night at home would be a calming and romantic gesture. Turns out he had planned a nice evening, I just hadn't seen it the way he intended. (and FYI no he wasn't being cheap, we were newly weds with tons of bills and $5 left in our name at the end of the month) If he's a good man in every other aspect why call it quits? Many women would love a man that works hard and takes care of the family. Try working out your differences first. \n\nAs far as the no appreciation thing, how often do you thank him for going to work everyday and supporting the family? I know this may seem odd, but maybe he too feels unappreciated. Try thanking each other after chores are done, at the end of the week when the pay check comes in, etc. You'll be amazed that you probably share many of the same feelings. Talk to your husband. Communication is really important in marriages!

Well I don't think there is a lot you can do to stop their feelings but you can avoid encouraging them. Watch what you wear.. no you don't need to wear a nun's habit but stay away from short shorts and tight tops. If you are naturally a huggy type of person try to avoid hugging the kids. Just be flattered and if you are married, when the kids are around pay EXTRA attention to your husband so the kids know you already have a man you are happy with. Lastly be flattered that you are a MILF =)

Since then, the government has gone through rough times, but is now democratically run.

What wavelenght would be measured for these waves by a stationary observer?

This requires the use of doppler shift formula for a moving source and stationary observer:\n\nf = f0 ( v / ( v + u ) )\n\nf0 = actual frequency = 5\nv = speed of wave = 20\nu = relative velocity of source away from observer = -10\n(since travelling toward)\n\nf = observed frequency = 10 Hz\n\nNow velocity = v = fl = frequency * wavelength\n\nso wavlength l = v / f = 20 / 10 = 2m


Usually vicoden is only prescribed for a few days after dental surgery.  Using in with Advil or motrin can help.  Advil reduces the bone inflammation which is the source of the pain.  The vicoden helps give your brain a pain-fighting boost.  I would start with a single pill and see how it makes you feel.  Addiction potential is low if used for a limited time only.  House is physically dependent on the medication, which takes a longer time.


Whats the treatment of polyateritis nodosa?

Treatment usually consists of large doses of corticosteroids to reduce inflammation along with immunosuppressant drugs to counter the body's autoimmune response. Treatment usually lasts for at least one year to eighteen months, with medication doses gradually being reduced over the period as long as the inflammation remains under control. Full recoveries have been recorded with some patients experiencing no relapses. Past studies have shown that the 5 year survival rate for PAN with no treatment is 13%, with steroids alone 50%, and with steroids and immunosuppressants 80%+, but survival rates are increasing as treatment regimes become better focussed. \n\nBase treatment is fairly well established, but even so full scientific consensus is not 100% agreed upon. However, recent evidence points to a requirement in the first instance of an aggressive treatment with cortico-steroids (daily 500mg IV pulses of methylpredisolone for one to three days) followed by prednisolone at 1mg/kg bodyweight per day for 4 to 6 weeks (orally) after which the dose can be tapered progressively. Concurrent immunosuppressants are compulsory comprising 125mg daily Cyclophosphamide (orally). Current wisdom also suggests benefits with pulses of cyclophosphamide at 0.5. to 0.6gr/sqm at days 0, 15, 30 and then every 4 weeks for 6 pulses. Again the cyclophosphamide can be progressively tapered and a maintenance treatment with Azathioprine is indicated at 2mg/kg bodyweight per day. Imuran is often used as a replacement therapy for Cyclophosphamide as well.


The secret is to understand some of the rules of logarithms and adjust translate the numbers to make your lob easier.\n\nThe rules:\nlog(a*b) = log(a) + log(b)\nlog(a/b) = log(a)- log(b)\nlog(a^n)=nlog(a)\n\nIf I understand your problem:\n\nx= [(86400)*sqrt(365.25)]/[ (.079)^11]\n\nso log(x) = log [.....]\n\n     = log(86400)+log(356.25^.5) - log(0.79^11)\n     = log(86400)+.5*log(356.25) - 11*log(0.79)\n\nuse log tables to get the logs and add them up to get the log of x.  Use the tables again to find x.\n\nYou can make other approximations, i.e., 356.25 is close to 19^2 (=361)\nand 86400 is close to 300^2 (=90000) and continue from there.  \n\nHope that helps.

I am doing a debate project on abortion. Can anyone give me a reason that abortion is not murder?

Only in cases of danger or possible death to the mother, epecially if she has a family and other children to care for. Anytime it is used as a form of birth control than it is definatly murder.\nGood Question I'm sure you're going to get some really wacked questions. There are alot of people who just don't get it. The way you pose the question will hopefully make them think about it.\n\nI've said in the past that I'm pro-choice. You have so many choices out there that if you don't want to have a baby use them, condoms, IUD's, the patch, the shot, the pill, foams, creams, the morning after pill. My heck grow up and be responsible for your actions. But... that's just my opinion.


If Republicans hate commies, why do they use the color red to symbolize their party?

The Republicans are kissing the Communists butts everyday now over Americans. That's because the Republicans are Communist too, it's a no brainer. Wal-Mart is Communist, RCA, Thompson Electronics, Microsoft, hell it's starting to become endless. They parade them around America, and call Communism Capitalism. How can it be Capitalism when they are not even Americans. The real word is called Monopolization with no free or fair trade, and that isn't Capitalism, it's Communism. So "RED" is for the Communists that they really are. I heard this from somebody else in here. The Conservatives choose Communism over Americans; because America can and would produce any thing that we need. America doesn't need anyone to produce our products for us. They choose to be Communist for greed, over America.


how is static electricity used in spraying cars?

static electricity simply means the strong attraction between two materials that are oppositely charged i.e. one negative and the other positive.\n\nIn car spraying, the material of the car surface is normally positively charged due to it metallic nature and by use of electricity. On the other hand, the paint used to cover the surface are often negatively charged by means of anion (negatively charged ions) particles present in the paint. When the paint are applied on the car surfaces, the static electricity will holds the paint to the surface very strongly till the paint are dry.\n\nCar spraying using this method are more durable and appeared to be glossy and shiny!\n\nHope that answered your question. :)

Honestly, I don't hate clowns.  I'm actually obsessed with them.  Mimes too.  \n\nI do, however, believe that there IS something unnerving about clowns because as characters who are supposed to bring us such joy and amusement, they never seem to share their sadness and despair with us.  I think that removes them from the human equation, because they never seem to be able to relate or demonstrate (while in-costume) any kinship to the human condition.\n\nIt seems unnatural to smile when you don't feel like smiling, and if you can't maintain a smile, you paint it on your face despite your grimace, sneer or frown, thereby still giving the allusion of glee and merriment.  To me, that's disturbing.  \n\nThe most disturbing thing to me of all, and I've seen regular people who aren't clowns do this, is when someone smiles with their mouth - and NOT their eyes.  Sad clowns are the must perplexing, if you ask me.  Pagliacci and the like, are Perhaps this is why clowns are so mysteriously curious to us.  Their external facades are bizarre, and sometimes garishly horrific...  Who KNOWS what lurks underneath the greasepaint and crazy costumes?  Clowns make their living by lying to us, deceiving us, diverting our attention with petty parlor games, while hiding their identities, and pretending to be and feel something other than their true characteristics and feelings.  \n\nTheir costumery is sometimes freakish, sometimes even frightening - yet, they are a staple in the children's entertainment industry...  Even after the John Wayne Gacy affair...

Big problem: My boyfriend wants to claim my son who is not his under the Tax Return, Should I let him?

If your boyfriend has trust issues like this, how can this relationship last? That said, is he supporting you and your son? If you aren't working, then who pays the bills? If he is in fact the head of your household, and he is the breadwinner, then why not let him have the deduction. I think the issue here is whether or not your should continue in this relationship, not whether you should let him have a tax deduction.

Please tell me that  what sort of education training and facility a mentally retarded child can get in USA and

It depends on which state you go to regarding the actual quality of services and available resources for when your child reaches adulthood.  My state (New Mexico) is actually very good in what it has to offer.\n\nIf your annual income is below $30,000 per year, all medical is covered (including therapies not provided by the schools...in other words...not of issue in accessing the educational environment) through Medicaid. If your income is above $30,000, your work's private insurance may not want to cover "developmental" medical and therapy.... check with your employer and the schools about funding supports.\nALL states must provide the following, per the laws "Individuals with Disabilities Education Act" (IDEA) and "No Child Left Behind Act" (NCLB).\n\n1. Child find -- From birth, state services are offered for therapies, respite care, and family supports (it's difficult to raise a special needs kid), coordinated by a social worker. The focus is to help the family cope with the additional demands of raising a special needs child, and to prepare that child for the school setting.\n\n2. At age 3 -- Pre-school for identified kids, provided through the public schools, brings various therapies in (speech, occupational, physical, counseling, etc.), and provides early exposure to academic and life skills training, as well as early training for successful participation in the school environment.\n\n3. At age 5 -- Direct educational services at the neighborhood school (except in rare instances, when there is a centralized program that will better benefit the child... for example, I have students transferred from other schools to participate in my gifted education program, another teacher has students transferred in to participate in the behavioral intervention program). This is provided through the concept of "Least Restrictive Environment," in which the primary question is how much of this child's education can be provided effectively in the regular ed classroom? Students are provided with pull-out (part-day programming) or segregated (all-day programming) programs based on their educational needs. The goal is to try to have the child participate with the regular educational community as frequently as possible, with a key components being learning effectiveness and student safety. Students are also provided with various therapies (as noted above in pre-school), assistive technology if needed, and parent education and supports through the special education social worker(s) for the school.\n\n4. at age 14 -- Transitional period. Students continue receiving the educational services above, plus the focus starts to change to how the child will live as an adult. A high-school coursework plan is put in place, and it is decided whether the child will work toward a standard diploma (just like the regular education students) or a certificate (for life skills training). Parents are linked to social services for adults as provided by the state and the local/regional community. The child now starts attending the planning sessions, and has a voice in how the committee decides his/her future.\n\n5. Age 18 -- unless the parents have extended their custody of the child through the state (usually done for Mentally Retarded or multi-disabled students), the student now has planning control of his/her education.
