My friend asked me out. What should I say?

well if you really like him does it matter what your friends think? just follow your heart and it will lead you down the right path. i hope you make the right decision because it sounds like this guy really likes you.  just try it!!!! nothing will happen and if you really and truly like him and you want to stay with him tell your "friends" that they should accept him and if they refuse tell them " hey f**k off!" and just ditch their assiz if they don't like him but you do and their willing to give you up for a reason like that their not true friends. hope you take my advice and god bless!

George Bush (Sir) said " Atheists should not be considered patriots"?

I'm British so maybe shouldn't get involved with your countrys politics, but as a believer, no I don't think atheists should be persecuted, or anyone for their beliefs. Most of my friends and family are not Christians and we respect each other's beliefs.


how humans have evolved to become bipeadel ?

You mean "bipedal"?\nThey used their hands to hold tools, grab foods and so on. As time went by, they felt it convenient to use their upper limbs working instead of walking. And standing with two legs gave them a better vision ahead. Gradually, they stood up and walk.\nI am no expert. You should check it out youself in BBC or Discovery channel. They will give you a satisfactory answer.


how many calories should a 220lb man eat a day to lose weight including exercises like running 3 miles a day?

You must first establish your maintenance calories.  This is a measure of how many calories that you would take in to just maintain your current weight.  There are sites with this calculation and is based on your age and level of activity.  (If you sit at a desk all day, your maintenance calories will be lower than if you work as a delivery driver or other job that is more physically active.  Everyone is different, so you have to find YOUR maintenance level.)  Do a search for it.  Then, you would subtract 500 calories per day to establish your daily caloric intake to reduce weight.  With this new value for calories, combined with exercise, you'll create a caloric deficit, allowing yourself to lose weight.  This is a safe approach, since it won't cause weight loss too fast.  Combining this with exercise, as you are doing or planning, is a healthy model to follow.


I am thinking of going to Nursing School... If I am choosen to go...?

You need to weigh what you have to do now against the result in the end.  Can you afford it?  Some people spend much more than that for college.  If that is what you want to do with your life, and you can afford it, go for it.  There is nothing like going to work and enjoying what you do, regardless of the pay.

is fatima's 3rd secret just scaremongering?

The Blessed Virgin Mary, the Mother of God, appeared 6 times to 3 shepherd children; Lucy, Francisco and Jacinta; between May 13 and October 13, 1917. She came to the little village of Fatima, Portugal. She came with a message from God to every man, woman and child of our century. Our Lady of Fatima promised that the whole world would be in peace, and that many souls would go to Heaven if Her requests were listened to and obeyed.\nShe told us that war is a punishment for sin; that God would punish the world for its sins in our time by means of war, hunger, persecution of the Church and persecution of the Holy Father, the Pope, unless we listened to and obeyed the command of God.\n\nGOD HIMSELF\nEndorses Fatima\n       As a great sign of this whole mesage truly coming from God, a marvelous miracle was worked in the sky above Fatima before 70,000 witnesss on October 3, 1917 at the time, date and place that Lucy and the other two children had prophesied in the name of Our Lady of Fatima.\n\nShe told us that God had chosen to use Russia as the instrument of chastisement to punish the whole world if we did not, by our obedience, prayers and sacrifices, obtain the conversion of Russia to the Catholic faith.\nShe promised us, "If My requests are granted Russia will be converted and there will be peace".\nBut She also warned us, "If My requests are not granted, Russia will spread her errors throughout the world raising up wars and persecutions against the Church, the good will be martyred, the Holy Father will have much to suffer, various nations will be annihilated."\n\nThe third secret somewhat controversial, has to do with the faith of the believers being compromised...they will lose their faith.Some say that the 3rd secret has not been fully revealed, because it was supposed to be revealed in 1960, and because much has happened since then, those in the higher levels of the vatican have supresssed it.\nThe last surviving visionary, Sister Lucy, who died february 13,2005,was silenced by the vatican, so they controversy about the 3rd secret continues.

For 500W what is the gauge of wire to be used?

Ampacity is the amount of current flowing in a circuit. The wire size, depends on the amount of current flowing, and usually a safety margin based on the heating effect from the current in the wire.\n\nFor a typical house wiring, at 120VAC, the current is 500W/120Vac = 4.2amps. The typical wire size is 14AWG. This wire can easily handle the 4.2amps. Actually, the 14AWG is good up to 15amps for most house wiring per NEC national electrical code.\n\nIf you are working with a 12VDC system or circuit, then the current is 40amps and you should be using 8AWG wire minimum.\n\nWhat's your application?\n\nCheck out the following link:


If I live outside the United States, do I still have to pay taxes?

If you are a U.S. Citizen living outside of the US, you are required to pay taxes.  However, you are able to deduct one of the following: 1) $80,000 of foreign earned income or 2)foreign taxes paid.  If you earned less than $80,000 in a foreign country you will not owe any taxes, but you must file.  Publication 54 (link is below) is the guide that will answer most or all questions related to a US citizen living abroad.


In England, the Winchester standards were used since the 15th Century. They were slowly modified, as usual: at the beginning of the 18th Century, we had a wine gallon containing 231 cubic inches, an ale gallon of 282 cubic inches and even a corn ("Winchester") gallon. The bushel was defined at a time as "any round measure with a plain and even bottom, being 18.5 inches wide throughout and 8 inches deep" (hence its official US definition : 2150.42 cu.in.)\n\nThe Weights and Measures Act of 1824 defined an Imperial British Gallon to replace all others : it was to contain 10 pounds of pure water at 62°F (possibly inspired by the decimal system) (= 4.54609 liters). \n\nAt the same time in the US, the old wine gallon (also called Queen Anne's gallon) just discarded in England became the new official US Gallon (= 3.785411784 liters).\n\nAt least in England, they had a common system for liquid and dry measures thereafter.\n\nIn the US, there are two systems : for liquid measures, the base is the US Gallon just mentioned. The dry measures are based on the old Winchester Gallon (= 4.404884 liters) or 268.8025 cubic inches.\n\nFYI, general measures of capacity:\n\n2 gills = 1 cup \n2 cups = 1 pint \n2 pints = 1 quart \n2 quarts = 1 pottle \n2 pottles = 1 gallon \n2 gallons = 1 peck \n4 pecks = 1 bushel \n3 bushels = 1 bag \n12 bags = 1 chauldron or chaldron


For non-Christians, Why are you so angry at Christians?

I agree. i think that they are mad at us christians b/c we preach to them, they get mad at me for saying this sometimes: I know that you can go to heaven if you get saved and the way that you get saved is if you believe that Jesus died on the cross from your sins, rose on the third day, and then you have to confess to God in prayer that you are a sinner and that you believe He died on the cross for your sins and ask for His forgiveness on your sins and it is THAT simple, salvation is a free gift, we can't earn it. I am a baptist who believes (let me rephrase that, I KNOW) that this stuff I said is true. My name is Matthew James Needham and don't be shy to contact me on this. my email address is im_proud2b_a_christian@yahoo.c...


What are some good reasons ensuring suicide will end suffering?

some people are in so much pain, either physical or emotional, that they think that anything would be different...\n\nsometimes people are not so much thinking about ending suffering, rather escaping from themselves.\n\ni've seen plenty of death in my time and as far as i'm concerned they're not suffering.  this is especially noticable if the person was in a lot of pain beforehand.

Glasses do break for whatever reason.  Your parents may be mad at you for something else, but unless you intentionally broke you glasses, accidents happen!  Obviously you need to get them fixed, don't be afraid to tell your parents!  They can't be that unreasonable!  Not wearing your glasses because they are broke is much worse for you than your fear of telling your parents, cause you can't replace your eye sight!

What's the worse thing that could happen? She could say 'no'. I think it's a chance you have to take. Be honest with her...and yourself.

what are china's major imports and exports?

China is one of the world's major mineral-producing countries. Coal is the most abundant mineral (China ranks first in coal production); high-quality, easily mined coal is found throughout the country, but especially in the north and northeast. There are also extensive iron-ore deposits; the largest mines are at Anshan and Benxi, in Liaoning province. Oil fields discovered in the 1960s and after made China a net exporter, and by the early 1990s, China was the world's fifth-ranked oil producer. Growing domestic demand beginning in the mid-1990s, however, has forced the nation to import increasing quantities of petroleum. Offshore exploration has become important to meeting domestic needs; massive deposits off the coasts are believed to exceed all the world's known oil reserves.\n\nChina's leading export minerals are tungsten, antimony, tin, magnesium, molybdenum, mercury, manganese, barite, and salt. China is among the world's four top producers of antimony, magnesium, tin, tungsten, and zinc, and ranks second (after the United States) in the production of salt, sixth in gold, and eighth in lead ore. There are large deposits of uranium in the northwest, especially in Xinjiang; there are also mines in Jiangxi and Guangdong provs. Alumina is found in many parts of the country; China is one of world's largest producers of aluminum. There are also deposits of vanadium, magnetite, copper, fluorite, nickel, asbestos, phosphate rock, pyrite, and sulfur.\n\nExports:$583.1 billion f.o.b. (2004 est.)\nExports - commodities:machinery and equipment, plastics, optical and medical equipment, iron and steel\nExports - partners:US 22.8%, Hong Kong 16.2%, Japan 12.4%, South Korea 4.4%, Germany 4% (2004)\nImports:$552.4 billion f.o.b. (2004 est.)\nImports - commodities:machinery and equipment, oil and mineral fuels, plastics, optical and medical equipment, organic chemicals, iron and steel\nImports - partners:Japan 16.1%, Taiwan 10.9%, South Korea 10.4%, US 7.7%, Hong Kong 7.4%, Germany 5.4% (2004)\n\nGood luck!

where can I find a copy of ASME Sec. VIII?

This information is not free, if that's what you're looking for.  I suggest checking out your local university libraries (preferrably a school with an engineering program).  If your school has a subscription, you can probably access the standards online (through ASME) from campus computers.  If you want to buy a copy of the ASME standards books yourself, I imagine you'll need a few thousand dollars.

what are your views of free trade vs protectionism?

I'm generally for free trade.  It makes the world more "efficient" because each country is specializing and exporting its excess.  Using protective tariffs to get foreign products more expensive just makes the consumers of the country pay higher prices overall.  The country will eventually fall behind the other countries of the world.\n\nProtectionism might save some jobs in the country overall, but the extra wages are going to be offset by a higher cost of living.  It might be slightly different if you have an obnoxious country completely undercutting and taking a loss to drive out competition, but I'm more talking about the normal case.

where can i get the equivalent weights of different  substances?

You don't have to 'get' equivalent weights of substances, its very simple to calculate them.\n\nFirst of all, you need to calculate the molecular wt or know the atomic wt of the compound or element you're dealing with.\n\nThe general formula for the equivalent wt of a compound is \n\nEquivalent weight = Atomic or molecular wt/ x\n\nx has different definitions in different contexts:\n\nIf for an element, x is the valency\n\nEg- E.W. of magnesium = 24/2 = 12\n\nIf for an ion, x is the number of units of charge\n\nEg- E.W. of Al+3 ion = 27/3 = 9\n\nIf for a compund, x is the total amount of formal charge present on the cation/anion, i.e. the number of ions multiplied by the charge on each radical.\n\nEg- For NaCl, the value of x would be 1\n    For MgSO4, the value of x would be 2\n    For AlCl3, the value of x would be 3\n    For Ba3(PO4)2, it would be 6,...\n\nIf for an acid, x is the basicity(no. of ionizable H+ ions)\n\nEg - 1 for HCl, 2 for H2SO4,..\n\nThe same applies for a base, x is the no. of ionizable OH- ions.\n\nNow for KMnO4 (acidified or not),\n\nThe molecular wt is 39+55+64 = 158\n\nThe value of x is 1\nSo the E.W. is 158/1 = 158\n\nHowever, if you are interested in the E.W. of Mn in KMnO4, which is more relevant in redox reactions(using acidified KMnO4), calculate the oxidation state of Mn first. It comes out to be +7.\n\nSo the E.W. is 55/7

Does anyone believe that "they"(meaning alien life) walk amongst/with us ? OR..?

There is a theory that the human race was "seeded" by a race from another galaxy.  In fact, there is controversy surrounding the use of the name "elohim" in the old bible, which some claim is the name of the race that fathered us, and not one of the first names given to God by man.\n\nIf this is true, then we are all "aliens".  how cool is that?!

It's just simple: Dot Per Inch (DPI) is a measurement for printer while Pixels Per Inch (PPI) is measurement for Video Output (Monitor). They are used for different purpose.\n\nAs for printing a 416x416 pixels picture in 500 DPI, it is not affecting the image physical size itself. It will still print image with the size of 416x416 physically\n\n\n>Is it correct to say that if i want an image with 500dots \n>per inch quality. And at the same time, i also want an \n>image size to be 416 x 416 pixels.\n\nYes, there is no fault in it. You just reques the image to be printed in a certain size and certain resolution, they aren't related to each other.\n\n\n>Does it mean that one pixel is equivalent to one dot? \n>Is it mandatory?\nNo, it is not. One pixel does not equal to one dot that way. If you request an image with (One inch in pixel) DPI, you'll get one dot per one pixels.\na 500 DPI image just means that in each one physical inch size of them, there is 500 dots that make the pictures up.\n\nPixel is not equal to dot. Pixel is value of the height and/or width of one tiny thing in the monitor screen, while dot is one tiny thing in Printed image.\n\n>What is dithering\nDithering is the combining of the limited pallete color to  visually produce colors that is not in the pallete. For example, most Printer only have four colors  that is black, Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow. If the printer is told to print color that is not in that base color, they will need to combine several different color in a pattern so that human eyes distinguish it as the wanted color. For more info, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dither (tips: you may want to jump directly to the bottom, to the image dithering section and skip the voice dither)\n\n>can i apply that in my solution?\nYes, in fact, all printers use dithering even if we don't tell them to. If they are forced to not use dithering, their image quality would be horrible since they can then only use  four color. Imagine seeing a picture that consist of BCMY colors only, they're horrible.

What significance is the rainbow to gays?

For lesbians, it's actually a black triangle...gay men are the pink triangle.\n\n"The Black Triangle was used to identify "socially unacceptable" women in concentration camps by the Nazis. Lesbians were included in this classification. Since then lesbians have appropriated the Black Triangle as a symbol of defiance against repression and discrimination as gay men have similarly appropriated the Pink triangle."\n\nThe first rainbow flag was used in 1978 and actually had 8 stripes, as opposed to the present day one which uses 6. The colors were assigned specific meaning:\n\nred - life \norange - healing \nyellow - sunlight \ngreen - nature \nblue - serenity \nviolet - spirit \n\nSometimes, a black stripe is added symbolizing those in the community that have died from AIDS.\n\nUsing a rainbow makes sense because the rainbow is a symbol of diversity.\n\n"The use of rainbow flags has a long tradition; they are displayed in many cultures around the world as a sign of diversity and inclusiveness, of hope and of yearning. This denotation goes back to the rainbow as a symbol of biblical promise, and the use of all the colours of the rainbow symbolises all flags in one."


Even you forgave them, but it happened once again. What should you do if you really love him or her?

I think you're asking because you already know the answer.  You should leave but of course you don't want to because you need him/her.  Ask yourself if perhaps you are addicted to being hurt, to playing the victim of a never-ending game of being loved and abandoned.  A lot of us do that.   We become attracted to people who will surely hurt us and leave us...and we love it.  Then we have a chance to be broken hearted and miserable again.  When you get fed up of the pain, there will come a time when you will be honest with yourself and start making different choices.  He/she is not the problem, it's you...face yourself now.

How to Summarize\n\n1. A summary - or précis - is a shorter version of a longer piece of writing. The summary captures all the most important parts of the original, but expresses them in a [much] shorter space.\n\n2. Summarizing exercises are usually set to test your understanding of the original, and your ability to re-state its main purpose.\n\n3. Summarizing is also a useful skill when gathering information or doing research.\n\n4. The summary should be expressed - as far as possible - in your own words. It's not enough to merely copy out parts of the original.\n\n5. The question will usually set a maximum number of words. If not, aim for something like one tenth of the original. [A summary which was half the length of the original would not be a summary.]\n\n6. Read the original quickly, and try to understand its main subject or purpose.\n\n7. Then you will need to read it again to understand it in more detail.\n\n8. Underline or make a marginal note of the main issues. Use a highlighter if this helps. \n\n9. Look up any words or concepts you don't know, so that you understand the author's sentences and how they relate to each other.\n\n10. Work through the text to identify its main sections or arguments. These might be expressed as paragraphs or web pages.\n\n11. Remember that the purpose [and definition] of a paragraph is that it deals with one issue or topic.\n\n12. Draw up a list of the topics - or make a diagram. [A simple picture of boxes or a spider diagram can often be helpful.]\n\n13. Write a one or two-sentence account of each section you identify. Focus your attention on the main point. Leave out any illustrative examples.\n\n14. Write a sentence which states the central idea of the original text.\n\n15. Use this as the starting point for writing a paragraph which combines all the points you have made.\n\n16. The final summary should concisely and accurately capture the central meaning of the original.\n\n17. Remember that it must be in your own words. By writing in this way, you help to re-create the meaning of the original in a way which makes sense for you.\n\nExample\n\nOriginal text\n\n'At a typical football match we are likely to see players committing deliberate fouls, often behind the referee's back. They might try to take a throw-in or a free kick from an incorrect but more advantageous positions in defiance of the clearly stated rules of the game. They sometimes challenge the rulings of the referee or linesmen in an offensive way which often deserves exemplary punishment or even sending off. No wonder spectators fight amongst themselves, damage stadiums, or take the law into their own hands by invading the pitch in the hope of affecting the outcome of the match.' [100 words]\n\nSummary\n\nUnsportsmanklike behaviour by footballers may cause hooliganism among spectators. [9 words]\n\nSome extra tips\n\nEven though notes are only for your own use, they will be more effective if they are recorded clearly and neatly. Good layout will help you to recall and assess material more readily. If in doubt use the following general guidelines.\n\n    * Before you even start, make a note of your source(s). If this is a book, an article, or a journal, write the following information at the head of your notes: Author, title, publisher, publication date, and edition of book.\n\n    * Use loose-leaf A4 paper. This is now the international standard for almost all educational printed matter. Don't use small notepads. You will find it easier to keep track of your notes if they fit easily alongside your other study materials.\n\n    * Write clearly and leave a space between each note. Don't try to cram as much as possible onto one page. Keeping the items separate will make them easier to recall. The act of laying out information in this way will cause you to assess the importance of each detail.\n\n    * Use a new page for each set of notes. This will help you to store and identify them later

Electron-positron annihilation is the process that occurs when an electron (which is matter) and a positron (which is antimatter) collide. If they are both relatively at rest (which happens in an exotic but not uncommon form of matter called positronium), they destroy each other upon contact, and produce two gamma ray photons of 511 keV each which are emitted in opposite directions. If they are moving at different relative velocities, the energies of the photons emitted will be higher, in accordance with the conservation of momentum. [At higher relative velocities, other particle-antiparticle pairs can also be produced, since there is enough kinetic energy in the relative velocities to provide for the masses of those particles. At much higher relative velocities, there may be enough energy to produce a single neutral Z-boson. The opposite process is known as pair production or matter creation.]\n\nOf course, both the electron and the positron cease to exist, as their masses are converted to energy (E = mc^2), which is the energy of the two resultant photons.\n\nThere is no separate law of conservation of matter (or, mass). Actually, it goes together with the law of conservation of energy, under the name 'mass-energy conservation'. And this conservation of mass-energy, as well as the conservation of momentum, both hold during the process of annihiltion.

ducks or flames?  who do you want to win in this series?

I doubt Giguere steals the show again like he did a few years ago.  If Kiprusoff stays true to his form, and the Flames can muster some semblance of offense, then they should win.  They've got a solid blueline and the Ducks just don't have the firepower to consistently break through both the D and Kipper.  If Phaneuf and Co. shut down Selanne, the Kipper should be able to clean up the rest.  This series will be full of one goal games where the teams combine for less than five goals.\n\nCalgary in 6, with at least 2 overtime games IMHO

Why Americans are so arrogant and prejudiced to foreigners?

I don't think this is a strictly american syndrome, and i hold no hatred twoards foreigners. We have social programs specifically help minorities/ ie affirmative action NAACP etc. And we are teh only superpower so I think that the superiority complex is innate. As far as discrimination and predjudice, I was in france and had a discussion with some french dude about why they all hate blacks, who moved to france from french colonies in africa. Also, look at Iraq, Sudan, and who can forget slobodan milosevic, in serbia...where not only do they hate ethnic groups but they assasinate them. So I guess in conclusion it is not a American issue but a human issue and I am farily certain it occurs in all racially diverse countries. Maybe the majority/ruling party likes using minorities as scape goats. Anyways dont hate on Americans, at least we try.

Who was considered part of a group called the Philosophes?

De Jaucourt, Denis Diderot... loads of others -- they wrote the world's first Encyclopedia during the Englightenment period (rather than having exactly the same philosophy).  They were supported by Catherine The Great and Frederick the Great among others.\n\nAround the year 1000 there was the Third crusade and the Schism.  Eastern Orthodox Christianity broke with Rome and the Pope, leaving two super religions -- Islam and Roman Christianity.... and so it remained until the 1500s, when there was a second schism -- the Protestant Reformation.\n\nThere was throughout, a feeling of confidence that the Eastern Orthodox Church was a temporary schism, and there was no particular ill-feeling or bad-blood.  The easterners were a small minor group in comparison.  Despite the Crusades and wars between Moslems and Roman Christians, they were united in hatred and suppression of the Jews, and most of the time the two co-existed.\n\nThe biggest event was the Protestant Reformation, this was earth-shattering, and caused a lot of bloodshed and ill-feeling that remains to this day.  The Puritan Pilgrim Fathers that sailed to North America is a perfect example of religious intolerance and persecution that resulted in the catacombs, priest holdes, Huguenots and ripped through mainland European Politics like nothing before or since.\n\nSome believe that THE PROTESTANT V CATHOLIC situation WAS SO BAD that the RESULT WAS to avoid it all and get involved in the SCIENCES and new Philosophies - "The Best of All Possible Worlds" in the age of Reason/ the Enlightenment/ the beginnings of the Scientific Age and The Industrial Revolution/ British Empire of the 1700s.\n\nThis is also the period in which you seem to have an interest -- the Constitution of the United States of America.  \n\nI can assert with some confidence that there would be no Eastern Orthodox Christianity nor Islam involved in this, despite it being based on the Declaration of Arbroath -- a letter to the Pope -- the United States' Constitution is firmly a PROTESTANT form of Christianity, affected to a certain extent (but not as big as you might have thought) by the modern ideas of the Philosophes from France -- religious tolerance, morality over all, reason over all and so forth!\n\nHope this help!

Would any one be willing to help a 13 year old with her crush problems?

looks like you are asking this question a lot, but i'll give you a simple answer.  don't be jealous of your lil' sis.  who cares?  i didn't kiss a girl until i was in 11th grade, and i was a popular athlete in school.  just didn't really care about what everyone thinks you should do.  i'm married now to a wonderful woman and am very thankful i wasn't a wild child, sleeping with 100's of women before i got married. and no, it has nothing to do with religion.  \n\nas for your crush, JUST TALK TO HIM!  go up and say hello and be yourself.  you will sit around your entire life and wish you had talked to him if you don't.  what's the worst that can happen?  he says to go away and you go back to where you were, not talking to him.  at least then you know you tried and there is nothing you can do, then you move on.  good luck.


actually, you slolve each of the three parenthesis and that tells you when the equation equals zero...\n\nX=-2, x=1 and x=5.\n\nNow look at each interval to determine whether the curve is greater than or less than zero in that interval.  For example, \nless than -2: x=-3 is less than -2.  So substitute x=-3 and solve... (-1)(-4)(-8)=-24 which is less than 0.\nbetween -2 and 1: x=0 is between these numbers.  So substitute x=0 and solve...(2)(-1)(-5)=+10 which is greater than 0.\nbetween 1 and 5: x=2 is between these numbers.  So substitute x=2 and solve....(4)(1)(-3)=-12 which is less than 0. \ngreater than 5: use x=6: (8)(5)(1)=+40\n\nSo the number line should show an open circle at -2 and an arrow pointing left, and open circles at 1 and 5 with a line connecting the two circles at 1 and 5.

what is the benefit and shortage of getting married at young age?

The benefits can be real rewarding and fullfilling if you have the right partner.  Financially, you can combine your assets and apply them toward loans and investments at great rates, insurance goes down, can get auto's at better rates, you can have children and get the benefits, someone to be there through all the good and bad times.  Someone you can get freaky with the rest of your life and explore your sexxusallity with, fun and lots of fun.  You are never to young "if" you are really in love and that person is in love with you.  The biggest thing is that you become one person and that other person is just as important as you.  The benefits are great and if you think you are not ready or just to young than take the time to investigate what your heart is telling you.  DO you pray?

It's difficult to know from your question what exactly it is you've been asked to do, but here goes...\n\nA scale factor can be expressed as a ratio between two things e.g if the scale factor is two, then the ratio beteween the two things you are comparing is 2:1 meaning that the bigger thing is twice the size of the smaller.  Thinking of it in this way can help you to reverse a scale more easily e.g. if you're told a length has been enlarged by a factor of 2 and that the new length is 4cm, you can see from the ratio that rather than multiplying by 2 you need to multiply by 1/2 to find the answer this time.  It helps if you line up your ratios:\nold : new\n  1  :  2\n  ?  :  4\n\nIf you are trying to produce an enlargement by a scale factor, you will need to follow a line from your centre of enlargement to each point on your shape.  You need to measure the length of each of these lines and then extend it in the same direction.  To find where the corresponding point on your enlarged shape is, you will need to multiply the distance from the centre to the original point by the scale factor.  This will give you the distance along the line from the centre that you need to draw the new point.\n\nIf you are working on squared/graph paper, then you can count the number of squares across and then up/down from the centre to each point on the original shape and multiply these distances by the scale factor to find out how to get from the centre of enlargement to the corresponding point on the new shape.  e.g. if you go 3 squares right and 1 square down to get to a point from the centre of enlargement, and the scale factor is 3, to find the new point you will need to go 9 squares right and 3 squares down.\n\nIf you are working with lengths, areas and volumes, you must remember that if a length increases by 3 times its original value the areas which correspond to it will increase by 9 times (3 squared) and the volume by 27 times (3 cubed).  If you get stuck, look at the units in the question.  If you're asked to find a volume if an area increases, for example, then square root the scale factor to take it back to a length factor before cubing it to get the volume factor (this is the same as raising the area factor to the power of 3/2).  Similarly if you start with a volume you will need to take the cube root to find the length scale factor.\n\nWithout knowing more about what you're looking for, that's the best information I can give you.

Have you talked to anyone in your shop?  There is always someone getting out a month ahead of you that knows a bit.  The SNCO's have delt with people getting out often and should know.  I still got a year, so I'm just starting to listen, but I do know that you've got to get to the VA 60 days out, so you will have to hurry on that.  Ask around.  There should be plenty of people that can not only give you the basics, but be able to tell you where to go and who to talk to.

What Came First The Chicken Or The Egg ? You Tell Me?

Actually, first came the rooster and the chicken. A chicken alone cannot lay fertilized eggs. It takes fertilized eggs to have more chickens and roosters.\n\nIf the egg came first, it would have died. There would have been no one to fertilize it, lay it, or hatch it. If a lone chicken, by some miracle had hatched from said egg, there would have been no roosters to fertilize more eggs, thus no more chickens or eggs.\n\nIf it is true that such an egg existed, that needed no care, fertilization, or hatching, we are degenerating rather than progressing. Our eggs are highly dependent in order to be of any use.

Should Politics Be mixed w/ Religion ???

Well first of all, this country was not built on separation of politics & religion. It was built on : no state sponsered religion and equality of all religions. If you look at our founding fathers, they incorporated thier religious beliefs into many aspects of government and politics.\nSo in my opinion , on the religious and political front, our country is out of step with what the framers of the Constitution intended it to be.


When your in the military, what rank do you want to earn by your skill in the army, air forces, or navy?

If you have the requisite skills and the capabilities, then one should certainly aspire to be an officer. In addition to being able to do everything an enlisted man does, an officer has to demonstrate leadership qualities. He is a role-model and is there to be mentor, guide, friend and commander of the men under him. An officer wears multiple hats and has to be an all-rounder.\nSince men will only obey once they are convinced of your leadership skills, you are constantly forced to give it your very best!\nIn the army's officer cadre, one usually starts off as a Lieutenant (depending on which army) and can go all the way upto General or Field Marshall. Similarly, you start off as Sub Lieutenant in the Navy and can reach Admiral or Admiral of the Fleet. In the Air Force, you would start off as a Flying Officer and could go upto an Air Chief Marshall or Marshall of the Air Force\n** Please note, these ranks are for the Indian Armed Forces.

Tests, any of them, does not portray one's intelligence correctly or fairly at all. Any test that can possibly cover all areas of any type of intelligence (there are many different areas of intelligence) fairly with all the factors taken in it would take too long to take and score and even then, there would be a 98% chance that it is not accurate.

What exactly is an 'annual return' and how and why is it used in Business?

Annual return is the profit a company makes for a given year.  In its simplest form, annual return is calculated by taking a companies total sales(revenues) and subtracting business costs(expenses).  Another common name for annual return is net income.  EG. In 2005 XYZ company had a net income of one million dollars.\n\nSometimes companies measure annual return by looking at the profits from continuing operations, the return before interest and taxes, etc.  But in everyday language, an annual return, as I said before, means simply bottom line profit also known as net income.  \n\nCompanies use annual return figures to measure performance. The objective of any sober business is to maximize the annual return.  If the return is considered too low, a business will take steps to increase it.  This includes cost cutting, improving product quality through innvoation, and expanding into new markets(selling a product in a new places).\n\nDoes this help?

Is Passover a Christian or Jewish holiday?

The Passover is a Jewish holiday to remember how God saved the Jewish people from Pharoah.  \nGod told the Pharoah, if he doesn't let the Jewish people go from slavery, the first born of every family would die.\n\nGod also provided a way out of this judgement: A sacrifice lamb was offered, and the people had to "mark their doorway", and God "passed over" their house.  Those that had their door marked were spared any deaths.  However, the Pharoah lost his son, because he didn't believe what God told him.  \n\nJesus was celebrating the Passover meal with his diciples, and fulfilled the "3rd cup".  \n\nNow, there are many Christians who also celebrate Passover, because of how Jesus fulfilled this prophecy.

Is it better to transfer credit card balances?

The formula you are talking about looks at the combined balance.  Basically they look at all of your credit limits combined.  You don't want to be using too high of a percentage of this total balance, but I'd say 24% is perfectly fine.  Your limit on individual cards is not really a factor.  Also, having too many credit cards can negatively affect your credit score.  Typically you want to limit your number of credit cards to 2-3.

why   do  not   going   out    off   car   in    gad  father    game?


Racquets are all different.  Even the same company makes a line of different racquets.  Your best bet is to go to a club and ask to demo a few.  Ask a local club pro to help you determine the best one for you.  See if they will go out and hit with you.  Just because I use a racquet does NOT mean it will do well for you.  The differing stiffnesses, weights and where the weight is located all effect how well a racquet plays.  If you get a head light racquet and you are a baseline player (seldom comes to the net) then you won't like the racquet.  If you are a net player then you don't want a racquet that is head heavy.  Take your time, demo a few and talk to a local pro about the specifics of your game before spending $100+ on a racquet you may not like.

I have been watching my diet and taking vitamins.  Is there any reason why my urine should smell metallic"

It's the vitamins. When you take vitamins, your body will process the vitamins and minerals you need to extract from the pill(s), then you liver and kidneys will flush out the excess, and the end result is usually bright neon yellow urine, as well as a smell. If you are having any other symptoms, please see a doctor, it could be something other than your vitamins, and could be microscopically destroying your reproductive organs, or a bladder infection.


Why can't people SPELL or use correct grammar on this?

Know mudder ow heard eye tray, eye juiced canned spall co-rectly. Eye thynk sum-thang iz rong wit me. \n\nI think how someone spells and the grammar they use tells a lot about the individual. Sometimes it actually aides in answering their question. If you really want to answer something for someone, but see that they are having a difficult time even formulating the question or expressing it in a clear and concise manner, you know not to use too complicated of an explanation or to keep your vernacular and verbiage in check as to not confuse them.\n\nBut yes, some of the questions and answers in this place make me wonder if one thousand monkeys are not actually on one thousand typewriters (or computers in this case) trying to write the next great American novel. It is just mind boggling at times how poorly expressed and educated some are. \n\nBut I'm here to help, not to criticize. Unless it is funny.

Where can I apply for small business grants?

It is hard to find grants to start a business. Unlike the myths that some perpetuate, federal government and even private foundations hardly give grant money for a for-profit business. And yes, grants mean PAPERWORK - lots and lots of it, that is why a cottage industry of grant writers was born.\n\nNonetheless, you can go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) http://www.cfda.gov and Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov - these are two sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. Browse through the listings and see if you can find any grant that would support a for-profit venture.\n\nEven if you buy books on "how to get grants" or list that supposedly has information on grants -- all of them are mere rehash of what CFDA has, albeit packaged differently. But still the info is the same - hardly any grants for starting a for profit business.\n\nEven SBA does NOT give out grants. From the SBA website http://www.sba.gov/expanding/grants.html... \n\n"The U.S. Small Business Administration does not offer grants to start or expand small businesses, although it does offer a wide variety of loan programs. (See http://www.sba.gov/financing for more information) While SBA does offer some grant programs, these are generally designed to expand and enhance organizations that provide small business management, technical, or financial assistance. These grants generally support non-profit organizations, intermediary lending institutions, and state and local governments."\n\nMost of the federal grants are given to specific target groups with specific requirements (e.g. minority business owners involved in transportation related contracts emanating from DOT - Grant#20.905 Disadvantaged Business Enterprises Short Term Lending Program \n\nGrants are also often given to non profit groups or organizations involved in training or other similar activities (grant 59.043 Women's Business Ownership Assistance that are given to those who will create women's business center that will train women entrepreneurs \n\nFor private grants, you may want to check the Foundation Center's Foundation Grants for Individuals Online. It's a subscription based website ($9.95 per month) but their opening blurb only says that the database is ideal for "students, artists, academic researchers, libraries and financial aid offices." Entrepreneurs are apparently not one of them, so I take it they also don't have listings of private foundations who give grants to would-be entrepreneurs.

If my epitellial cell is 3, what does it mean and is it normal?

Where did you find such value? If it is in the urinalysis, how was it reported. Epithelial cells in the urine can be normal or a sign of erosion. Three epithelial cells in the urine is not bad. A +3 value is too many and may be cause for alarm. Three epithelial cells per high power field (hpf) may mean nothing if not correlated with other abnormal findings. Watch out for RBC/rbc/red blood cell, WBC/wbc/white blood cell, and pus cells.

should the IAEA investigate Israel's nuclear arsenal?

Wow, top question! \n\nSad fact is, the IAEA has no mandate to inspect Israels WMD because ISREAL has NOT and will NOT sign the Non-Proliferation Treaty. This means that they have an ILLEGAL STOCKPILE OF WMD. Sound familiar?\n\nIran on the other hand is a member of the NPT and does comply with UN weapons inspections, or at least has done until the USA decided to rail road them into a confrontation by using the UN.\n\nIt is utterly disgraceful that Israel has been allowed to flagrantly disregard the the international community for so long on this issue. This makes them worse than Iraq and Iran. \n\nOh, Pakistan and India are also "nuclear rogue states" and who cares?\n\nlinks to the NPT have been broken on the UN website so no sources, but I reckon you can check up if you like!\n\nIf you find the original text of the NPT it makes interesting reading when you consider it in the context of Americas adherence to the articles!


I want to be a DJ were can I get a used equipment for practice?


On the FASFA, it asks if my parents have any investments (like real estate)...?

Your family's primary home shouldn't be included, but the value of any other home must be included on your FAFSA (value = current value minus debt).\n\nYour parents may not be reaping the benefits of this investment right now, but that doesn't mean it isn't an asset.  Think about it: the house is gaining in value; every day, the house is worth more than what they paid for it.\n\nRemember: Your school has the right to verify any of information that you provide on the FAFSA (technically, they can require whatever documentation it takes to resolve any discrepant information in your file).  If they ask you to submit a copy of your parents 1040, the house will appear as an investment -- in some form or another -- and your school will either (a) deny you aid if you have intentionally misrepresented your information or (b) correct your FAFSA to reflect the information that you withheld (more likely).

Your already a good friend by worrying and trying to tell her to leave him, but be there for her anyway. Be there because she's going to need you, once she  opens her eyes. So just be there for her.

If you tell your counselor that you were sexually abused, are they obligated to report it?

It depends on the state.  Some states will require you to report it, but only if the victim is a child.  Other states will require you to only report it if you can identify the perpetrator by name (so CPS knows where to go).  I worked at an internship in MD last year.  The agency's (and state's) policy was to report all sexual abuse.  Regardless of the victim's age now and how long ago it happened.  I think the reasoning is that many sex offenders are repeat offenders- so even though you are over 18, it is possible the perpetrator is also abusing someone else.  For some reason, even if the perpetrator was dead, you still had to report it.  \nFor this reason, I always start out every session with the limits of confidentiality as it applies to the state law.  (so basically, I had to imply to people at my last internship- if you don't want sex abuse to be reported, don't tell me.)  But that way, there are no surprises when abuse has to be reported or when confidentiality has to be breached.


What sould I do if I like a guy who I lied about to my friends?

i was chatting using yahoo messenger someone discovered my real wife name? how that could happen?

I doubt J_con's answer is what reall happened, those stories rarely happen over a simple wife's name. W\n\nhat probably happened is he saw links in your profile, or search your screename in yahoo or google and found a myspace of yours, livejournal, or some other blog in which you listed your wifes name. \n\nThis is much easier than hacking a major service providor, mind you.

I don't think guys do this with all their girlfriends... I think it's somethings we only do when we find the "one".  Because in general, guys don't like talking about mushy things like love and marriage and babies and crap like that... but when you're madly in love, and you know you've found the one woman you want to spend the rest of your life with - the crap just doesn't stop coming out of your mouth... we're just crazy like that :)


Does the lifestyle of professional athletes build up false perceptions of grandeur in our youth?

No, because they can see how their parents live. They know not everybody lives that way. The thing is that they need to realize is very few people make it to play pro sports. The ones that do have real talent, work real hard and there is alot of luck involved. Its not something that is just bestowed on them. They cannot just expect to be a pro player because they are great in their league. They need to know that even if they are great they could be one ALC injury away from needing that college education. These are the things that kids don't understand.

Is it possible to send information if one falls into a Black Hole? How?

stephen hawking has said that balck holes indeed behave like black bodies, emitting some radiation, usually gamma and x rays. \nAlso, when matter falling into the black hole causes the black hole to spin. This creates a magnetic field like that of Earth's, emitting the high energy particles in the form of jets through the north and south poles of the rotating blackhole.\n\nSo, some kind of info might be released from a black hole, thats if the spaceship can detect these signs.


An amorphous metal is a metallic material (usually an alloy rather than a pure metal) with a disordered atomic-scale structure. In contrast to most metals, which are crystalline and therefore have a highly ordered arrangement of atoms, amorphous alloys are non-crystalline. Materials in which such a disordered structure is produced directly from the liquid state during cooling are called "glasses", and so amorphous metals are commonly referred to as "metallic glasses" or "glassy metals". ...

Is there a way to lock Internet explorer?

You can't do it exactly as you describe, but there is a way to block people.\n\nThe easiet thing to do is to block access to the entire computer.  Do this by creating user names and passwords in control panel.  This way only certain people are allowed to use the computer.\n\nYou can use the above method to block some users from running certain programs, but it is more complex.  In Windows Explorer (not IE), you can set security options on files and folders.  On my computer, IE is in the directory "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer".  You can set the security options to allow access only to certain users.\n\nIf you do the file security method, you should create a security group called something like "IeUsers" and allow that group access to the directory.  You then give certain users access to the program by making their user ID members of the "IeUsers" group.\n\nI don't recall if XP home allows detailed security settings.  If not, you will have to be satisfied with blocking them completely from the computer.  XP professional does allow the detailed security control.

what is the role of social studies in education?

I think the role of social studies is to learn from the past and not to repeat the mistakes. It also makes us comprehend and anaylze specific situations in diffrent time periods.


Both are very respectable jobs.  However, I think you should be a teacher if that is your dream.  Following a career, especially something like nursing, just because of the money is wrong.  People who take up careers like that for the money get burnt out really fast.  They start to feel resentful towards the patients and don't treat them with the care they deserve.  They also become dissatisfied with life in general because they didn't get to do what they really wanted to do.  \n\nMoney is not everything.  If your not happy with your life and/or career, money isn't going to change that.  Sure, you'll have a lot of nice stuff but you'll also have a lot of nagging regrets.  Plus, it is not like teachers don't make enough money to support themselves.  I'm not trying to say they make a fortune, but they're not living on the streets either.  \n\nYour income, also, will be dependent on where you teach too. Get a teaching degree and keep your GPA high, then, look at a few places where you would want to teach (or you can even do this beforehand too) and see how much they pay. Also, balance salary against how happy you would be teaching there.


why did the japanese bomb us on pearl harbor?

The attack on Pearl Harbor and the resulting war between Japan and the Allied powers appears to be the culmination of a series of events and decisions that began in the 19th century. By the mid-19th century, western imperialism had come to east Asia. Various European powers had taken control of India, Southeast Asia, Indonesia, and various islands in the Pacific. After defeating the Qin Dynasty of China in the Opium Wars, several western imperial governments forcibly exploited China's resources. The Japanese were shocked by the European defeat of the Qin dynasty and the resulting conquest of Chinese territory and resources. It was also around this time, in 1853, that Commodore Perry appeared in Tokyo Bay with the "Black Ships" and ordered the isolationist, Tokugawa shogunate government of Japan to open trade with the west. The U.S. appeared to support the other western powers in their exploitation of China, even sending troops to help put-down the Boxer Rebellion. The U.S. also gained control, through victories in the Spanish American War, of several significant territories in the east Asia/Pacific area by the end of the 19th century, most notably the Phillipines and Guam.\n\nIn 1868, Japan's Tokugawa shogunate was forcibly replaced with a new government model during the Meiji restoration. Japan's new government's decided to try to achieve parity with the western powers, believing that the only other alternative was helpless victimization, as had happened to the Qin Dynasty.\n\nThus, Japan embarked on a period of significant economic, political, and military expansion (citation pending). In order to fund this expansion, resource-poor Japan embarked on a series of their own imperialistic moves that brought it into conflict with neighboring powers. In 1894, Japan defeated the then current Chinese government and took control of Taiwan. In 1904, Japan defeated Russian forces and took control of Russian territories in and around China and the Korean peninsula. In 1910, Japan took all of the Korean peninsula. Japan supported the UK and U.S. side in World War I and, as a reward, was awarded control of former German possessions in the central Pacific. In 1931, Japan forcibly established a "puppet" state in Manchuria. In 1937, having made further progress in constructing a large and modern navy and army, Japan initiated a large-scale of invasion of mainland China, attacking from Manchuria and at several points along China's Pacific coast.\n\nJapan's invasion of China now appeared to directly threaten the assets and territories of several of the western powers, including Great Britain (UK) and the U.S., who were strong allies. The move also threatened the U.S.' "Open Door Policy" concerning China. The U.S. and UK responded at first with diplomatic pressure, condemning Japan's aggression in China. Japan didn't back down, but instead continued it's military campaign in China and formally aligned itself with the Axis Powers in 1940. The U.S. responded with economic sanctions, including partial or full embargoes of scrap metal and gasoline, renouncing previously-signed trade agreements between the two countries, and closing the Panama Canal to Japanese shipping. Again, the Japanese didn't back down and, in 1941, invaded northern Indo-China. The U.S. response was to freeze Japanese assets and initiated a complete oil embargo.\n\nOil was the most valuable and crucial resource that Japan required. In addition to fueling Japanese military operations, oil was vital for core economic activities. 80% of Japan's oil imports came from the U.S. Diplomatic negotiations climaxed with the Hull note of November 26, 1941, which Prime Minister Hideki Tojo described to his cabinet as an ultimatum. Therefore, Japan now had an important decision to make- either to comply with the U.S. and UK demands and back down from its aggression in China and the surrounding areas, or go to war w

Is it me...or is everyone on television extremely skinny?

No, it is not just you. You are right! Almost every supposedly "gorgeous" woman on tv is terribly thin. Some of them look just plain skeletal! Even the older "beauties", I mean "bitties" are sickingly thin to try look young. Look at old ass Farrah Fawcett! She's too old to be that skinny and she's always sitting Indian style like a young teen girl, giggling and tossing her hair. As we get older, we gain weight. Its for health reasons. Our bodies become more fragile as we get older and our organs need the extra cusion.

no-we humans would then build large floating continents to live on- and yes ive seen water world- but i dont think thats possible- it would take millions of years for such an evolution to occur and in the movie the other humans are still the same- for this to happen the costner characters early ancestors should ahev spent their whole lifetime in water(while they still dint have gills)- and i dont see how they could have survived like that.

Druzes only marry within their own sect/religion.  There are cases of a non-druze muslim "initiated" to become a druze in order to marry a druze, and in so doing live and practise as a druze religiously after that initiation.


My Friend Who Is Stationed In Hawaii Is Now Being Deployed to Djibouti Africa.Why?Will He Be in Danger?

Troops are based on rotation in a military, so that not the same people serve in a hard place like Iraq or Djibouti.  Djibouti is hard, since there is not much to do outside service hours, most soldiers go for only bars and sad to say prostitution.\n\nDjibouti has lots of French soldiers so your friend will hang out with them probably too.  Danger, not as a soldier, no war or insurgency there, hard training and harsh climate though waiting in the horn of Africa.  \n\nSoldiers aren't needed in Djibouti, it's like just a colonial past that Africa is full of foreign soldiers, they could manage their own country too, but maybe the Somalis next door would invade them if the Americans and French would leave, who knows, it's not an easy world out there.  \n\nTell your friend to become a photographer in Djibouti to avoid a drinking habit there, the nature is beautiful as always in Africa, people are a gorgeous type of round faces, and quite tall, so they make great pictures for us in the West who have no clue about Africa usually.  Learning French is a good idea too, to keep the mind busy, they don't usually speak English in Djibouti (it's an ex-French colony).


Does a .30-06 win. have more knock down power Then a 7mm. salvge?

You can do a comparison of the different rifle calibers using a tool at Remington.com\n\nhttp://www.remington.com/products/ammunition/ballistics/\n\nYou can compare calibers and then bullet weights as well since that's also a factor in understanding energy of the bullet at different ranges.\n\nHave fun and be safe.


There is a neck-up rule. If the symptoms are above the neck, e.g. runny nose, sore throat, headache, then it's probably OK to do moderate exercise. However if you have any symptoms below the neck, including fever, aching limbs and tightness of the chest, then you should not exercise.
