For the Citizens of the United States of America - I have two coins in my hand. They equal 40c.?

I'm guessing by your name "Tilda" that you're in Australia and that you are holding two 20-cent coins with a Platypus on them. The platypus is considered to be one of the strangest specimens of the animal kingdom: a venomous, egg-laying, duck-billed mammal.

Set up two wheels with radial plates on them and gaps between the plates. Align the wheels so that light cannot shine through from one wheel to the other because the plates are in the way. Now put the wheels about a mile apart and spin them. If they spin fast enough, light will be able to go through because the wheel will rotate enough while the light is travelling so that the light will pass through a gap between the plates. By knowing how fast the wheels are spinning and how far apart they are as well as the angular size of the plates, you can figure out the speed of light.


Help!!! Can anyone help me to participate(talk) in classes?

I used to be silent in classes, also.  Then I eventually decided that I needed to participate.  Therefore, what I did was I came up with five-ten comments that I could make on the reading for a given day.  Then I made it my goal to talk one time in every class every day.  After a few weeks, I found that I was comfortable with talking more.


Can ADD in kids be linked to advertising and new kids tv shows?

No. While cartoons and ads can be stimulating to a child with ADD, it's mostly chemically based according to most theories. What your getting at is over-stimulation, which is why some kids get overly aggressive or attached to video games. Most ADD kids are addicted to sensori-motor stimulation and so their "off the wall" behavior is really looking to do something to stimulate them, hence why these kids are easily "bored".\n\nBasically people try and blame ADD on everything from Sugar to Cartoons, to the Devil with NO evidence to back it up.

what is the collision rate between enzymes and catalysts?

Well, enzymes ARE catalysts, at least to my knowledge.\n\nThere isn't sufficient information to describe the collision rate. In Kinetics, we determine the collision rate using the rate equation, and that is determined using the R.D.S. (rate determining step) or slow step of the mechanism of the reaction... and since you have none of these in your question, it's really quite impossible to answer!

There is some attempt at rhyming, but it isn't very well executed.  The "musical" feeling isn't passed on to the reader through any form of pacing or timing in the poem.  For a young person I would have to say this is a good attempt, but for anyone 16 and older - try again.


Is it still considered cheating if I don't tell my wife?

Of course not.\n\nLet me put it in a way that you might be able to understand better:\n\nIf you cheat on your taxes and the IRS doesn't find out, is it still considered cheating? See? \n\nHere's another example:  Every time your friend gets up to pee during a marathon game of Monopoly you grab six or seven $500 bills out of the bank. Somehow he uses his railroads to win! Was that cheating? Of course not.\n\nThe only way any of this is cheating is if you are caught. Otherwise it's just creatively interpreting the rules.


What are Podcasts? And how do I subscribe to them?

The simple answer is that they are just Mp3 or same kind of file that you can download and listen or watch (if its a video file) to later or in the moment when time permits.  Shows, music, instructions, etc. Its just a file you can download.  doesn't have to be a song. It can be an interview or show.  Not sure who invented the name pod cast. But I'm sure the Apple people are happy that its coined that. Too many resources for access to them.  Many websites offer them for free. Google search it or use your favorite engine to ferret some out.


How do I prepare information prior to filing an EEOC Complaint?

In the federal sector you must have either/or evidence to support the claim, notes of what occurred with questions that have to be answered who, what, when, and how. You should also have a list of potential witnesses. First will come an informal investigation to determine if a formal investigation is warranted. After that there will be a lot of time frames that will have to be met in a timely manner. after that you basically play a waiting game.

How do I fix the jolty skipping sound on every song on my iTunes?

Skipping audio is frequently a sign that your computer is having a hard time keeping up with all the work it's doing. Are you running a lot of different programs at the same time? If you're running Windows XP, press ctrl+alt+delete to bring up the Windows task manager. Click the "performance" tab to see how busy your CPU is. If it's near 100% you'll need to close some programs to give iTunes enough power to play without skipping.

What are the differences of a singal plane intake to a dual plane intake?

A single plane intake just has a large opening from the carb to the intake ports to the head. It contains a large volumn of space. So at higher rpm the air will have a ram afffect due to the weight of the air. So this type of manifold makes HP at a higher rpm\nA dual plane manifold has runner that go to each port and the are stack on top of each other. So they have asmaller volumn of air and will make more hp and tork at a lower rpm.

Baguio City has a total land area of 57.49 square kilometers nestled 5,000 feet above sea level. It has an average temperature of 16° C, which is cooler than most Philippine lowland temperatures by about 10° C. Today, the city is home to some 350,000 people of diverse cultural, linguistic, and religious backgrounds. The central business district is defined by dense commercial areas along the main thoroughfares, namely, Session, Magsaysay, Abanao, and Harrison roads. \n\nThe city is bounded in the north by La Trinidad, Itogon in the east, and Sablan and Tuba in the west. Baguio plus these adjacent municipalities of Benguet are also referred to as Metro Baguio or the BLIST area.\n\nMetro Baguio, like the rest of the Cordillera Region, is confronted by severe economic and political conditions that are generated by imperialist globalization and intervention.\n\nThe desertion of government’s fundamental duty\n\nPrivatization, or the passing of government obligations to corporations and other private entities, has become a policy thrust of the Philippine government upon the dictates of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank. \n\nNationwide, the trend of outright transformation or sale of government agencies, government-owned and -controlled corporations (GOCC’s), public hospitals and schools, state colleges and universities, and public utilities, has prevailed over the people’s clamor for sufficient and accessible social services. \n\nThis scheme extends to the Cordillera region, especially in Metro Baguio as it serves as the region’s political, economic, and cultural center. Here, around 16 government agencies and GOCC’s are burdened by the policy of privatization. These are the National Power Corporation, Social Security System, Government Service Insurance System, PAG-IBIG, National Food Authority, National Housing Authority, Housing and Urban Development Council, Housing Investment and Guarantee Corporation, Housing and Land Use Regulatory Board, Department of Social Welfare and Development, PhilHealth, Philpost, National Irrigation Administration, Baguio Water District and La Trinidad Water District. \n\nHanding over the work of basic social services to private entities means converting these services into profit-oriented enterprises. \n\n In light of the dreaded multisectoral impacts of privatization, Tongtongan Ti Umili-Cordillera Peoples Alliance together with supportive groups and allies successfully launched the Solidarity to Oppose Privatization!, Metro-Baguio (STOP!-MB) on September 1, 2001. \n \n\n \n\nPrivatization of health services\n\nThe two major public hospitals in Metro Baguio are now being subjected to privatization. The different departments of Baguio General Hospital are being privatized piecemeal. Its dialysis center is said to be controlled by a US firm. BGH has also two newly constructed buildings for pay wards.\n\nFollowing the trend to privatize the health sector, the Benguet Provincial Board has declared Benguet General Hospital (BeGH) as an “economic enterprise” in early 2004 through Ordinance No. 4-88. A Board of Directors has been formed with broad decision-making powers, including the power to ratify earlier agreements with the provincial board, such as the 60-40 percent ratio of the hospital’s 200-bed capacity for charity and pay wards respectively. \n\nAs an “economic enterprise”, BeGH would still receive an annual subsidy of P40 million from the provincial government, but this subsidy may cease once the hospital becomes financially viable through the collection of additional fees from indigent patients. \n\nIn May 2004, affected BeGH employees passed a counter-proposal, pressuring the Provincial Board to recall the ordinance. The employees’ protest raised 16 concerns, ranging from continuous appropriation to the composition of an oversight committee to ensure the smooth implementation of the ordinance.\n\nBefore this latest attempt to corporatize, BeGH already turne

how can i contact authorized of the brands (adidas, nike, ect..) for businnes?

Probably the best way to go about doing this is talk to a local representative.  I live in Michigan, and their are all kinds of factroy outlet stores, start out here (that is start small) and they will eventually lead you in the right direction.  \n\nThe other thing you can do is go to their cooperate websites and look at the list of partners, contact them and find out how they obtained the brand.  If you "surf" the site enough you may also find your own direct way to speak to one of their representatives that can turn you into the right direction.\n\nI know like anything this sounds like a lot of work, but sometimes it takes work to get what it is you want, keep being persistant and you will get what you want.\n\nI hope I have been of some help and Good Luck !

I am trying to locate my grandson, Steven J Maurer.  Where should I start?  Any suggestions would be great.?

You should locate the Salvation Army in your area. They have  a program that they will help you find a relative. There is a form to fill out and you tell them eveything you know about your relative. They will not locate friends just relatives as I understand. It costs about $25.\nIf you know that your Grandson has money coming to him through inheritance  or otherwise  you can send  a letter to Social Security(unsealed ) with your return address and they will forward the letter to the correct person. Tell Social Security everything you know about him and about the money your grandson does not know about. It has to be in an account not just that you want to locate him and give him money. In both cases if the person you are contacting does not want to contact you ...you can not make them.\nIf you have unlimited calling access you can go online and check the whitepages and leave out the state. It only takes a quick call to ask a few questions and hopefully reach the correct party. I have done this with success.\nI wish you much luck...\n\nLocating Private Individuals\n \nThe Internal Revenue Service (IRS), the Social Security Administration, and the Salvation Army can assist you in locating individuals here in the United States. The Department of State’s American Citizens Service Abroad can assist you in locating relatives or friends living or visiting abroad and who are U.S. citizens.\n\nPlease review the policies and guidelines for each agency/organization below:\n\nInternal Revenue Service (IRS)\n\nThe IRS may forward a letter to someone when humane reasons are involved. For example:\n\nTo notify someone of a serious illness, imminent death, or death of a close relative,\nTo seek an individual for a medical study to detect and treat medical defects, or\nTo notify an individual who cannot otherwise be located that he or she is entitled to certain assets. \nThe IRS will forward a letter from an attorney, estate administrator, or other person who directly controls the assets.\n\nFor more information and clarification as to what may constitute "humane" reasons, you may refer to the IRS Handbook 1.3, Chapter 11, which you may find in Other Information Available to the Public.\n\nIf you would like the IRS to help you locate an individual, place a personal letter addressed to the individual in a blank envelope. Include first class U.S. postage, and do not seal the letter. Place the unsealed letter in another envelope and address it as follows: \n\nInternal Revenue Service\nOffice of Disclosure Operations\n1111 Constitution Avenue NW\nWashington, DC 20224 \n\nSocial Security Administration\n\nThe Social Security Administration will attempt to forward a letter to a missing person for reasons similar to those mentioned in the IRS section above. There is a $3.00 charge for forwarding letters to inform persons about money or property they may be owed. Humanitarian letters are forwarded free of charge.\n\nFollow the same guidelines for sending a letter, and address it as follows: \n\nSocial Security Administration\nOffice of Public Inquiries\n6401 Security Blvd.\nBaltimore, Maryland 21235 \n\nSalvation Army\n\nThe Salvation Army has operated a Family Tracing Service since 1885. The service is designed to help people reestablish contact with close relatives they may have lost touch with a few years ago or many years ago. The service is available in many of the 100 countries where the Salvation Army is located.\n\nThe Salvation Army will not help to locate someone in the following instances: \n\nFriends \n\nSituations where adoptions have taken place \n\nAlleged fathers of non-marital children \n\nYoung people under 17 years of age \n\nFormer husbands or wives \n\nSpouses for divorce purposes \n\nEstate or similar business matters \n\nGenealogies\n\nFrom the United States, you may contact the Salvation Army Territory Office for your state. Local Salvation Army office numbers are listed in your local telephone directory. You may al


Absolutely not.  Elephants are scared of everything they don't know, so it could be possible to run from a mouse for a wild young elephant, but as possible as running from another animal.  The ones in circus, which I think you refer to... elephants know everything around them, the environment they live in.  When they eat, probably can be hidden some mice in between the bales..., so it is not true at all that elephants can be scared of mice.  I heard it on National Geographic Channel.

That's the best way I know how to cope. Keep them alive......by living as they would have done.

The amount of iron he was able to pump during workouts was decreasing, after steadily increasing for years. Worse, the antidepressants he takes seemed to stop working, and his mood darkened. “I was going down the tubes,” recalls Logan, of Nashua, N.H. Then, during a physical, his doctor checked Logan’s testosterone level and discovered it was low. Logan was referred to a specialist, and after a workup that included tests for prostate cancer (results negative), he began receiving testosterone-replacement therapy (TRT). “I was going into a pretty bad depression right when I started the therapy,” says Logan. “And man, I’ll tell you, three days after I had that first shot it kicked me out of my depression like a mule.” Seven months later, Logan continues to receive a testosterone shot every two weeks and, though no one really knows what the long-term health effects are, he has no plans to stop TRT. “I’m sold on it,” he says.\n\nTestosterone is hot, the hormone of choice for hundreds of thousands of middle-aged men determined to stave off the constellation of symptoms, including erectile dysfunction and loss of libido, that have come to be known by some as andropause, the male version of menopause. Doctors wrote more than 1.9 million prescriptions for testosterone in 2002, a 27 percent increase over 2001, according to IMS Health, which tracks the pharmaceutical industry. Nearly 1.3 million prescriptions were written in the first six months of 2003 alone. With 4 million to 5 million American men walking around with abnormally low testosterone, those numbers should continue to rise.\n\nBut as older men line up for TRT there is growing concern that they could suffer a fate similar to the millions of women who for years used hormone-replacement therapy (HRT) for the symptoms of menopause. They thought it was safe and even protected them from disease, until the summer of 2002, when a major study by the Women’s Health Initiative was halted after it became clear that HRT actually increased a woman’s risk of breast cancer and heart disease. In an effort to avoid a replay of that nightmare, the National Institutes of Health has created a special task force to study ways to assess the risks and benefits of TRT in older men. One option the task force could recommend: a big clinical trial like the one that revealed the dangers of HRT. The task- force report won’t be released until November, but experts say the high cost of a large study—possibly $100 million or more—could be an obstacle. Another potential snag: it might be difficult to design a large-scale trial of TRT in older men without first doing more small-scale studies to gather additional data.\n\nThere’s also an ethics question. Is it OK to give older men testosterone in a long-term study when there’s a possibility that it could be harmful? Perhaps not, but lots of men—an estimated 819,000 in 2002, the majority (57 percent) between 46 and 65—are already using testosterone gels, patches, injections and pills. With that number sure to increase (it jumped 29 percent in a year), the question might be: is it ethical not to do a big study?\n\nTestosterone, which circulates in the blood at levels that vary from hour to hour (normal range is from 300 to 1,200), has some traits that may make TRT risky. It’s well known that testosterone can feed the growth of prostate cancer, which becomes more common as men age. It may also contribute to heart disease by facilitating blood clotting and reducing levels of HDL, the good cholesterol, says Dr. Todd Nippoldt, an endocrinologist at the Mayo Clinic. This raises the possibility that the decline in testosterone that accompanies aging might be one way nature protects older men against prostate cancer and heart disease.\n\nBut could the potential benefits of TRT outweigh the potential risks? Dr. Abraham Morgentaler, a professor at Harvard Medical School, has analyzed dozens of short-term TRT studies and is convin

Where Do I go For students Loans from the government?

Start at http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/\n\nYou can fill out the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) and submit it to the colleges you are considering attending.  Using that information, they can calculate how much aid (including loans) you may be eligible to receive.  They will also be the ones to help you with the necessary paperwork.\n\nIf you're not eligible for Federal aid (or to fill out the FAFSA), there are still some loans which may be available to you.  Contact the Financial Aid offices at the colleges you are considering attending.  Again, they can tell you what is available and what you would need to do to apply.\n\n(All of this assumes you're in the United States.  For elsewhere, I have no information.)

It sounds like you are really running from yourself.  Until you come to grips with your sexuality and be comfortable with it you will continue to be confused.  If you like guys, it's Ok.  Or maybe it's just this one guy?  He's especially attractive?  \n\nFace your fears and see what happens.  Hang out with him in a group of friends and get to know him better.  If he likes you, make out.  It may be more of a fantasy than a reality for you.  You are at the age that you need to find out who you are.  When you decide what you like and who you are, be comfortable with it.\n\nIf you try to live a lie to please family, friends, society, etc... you will never please yourself.

What can I do to show my girlfriend I truely love her?

dear darkimpact,\nsimplicity, you practically answered your own question by asking us.  tell your girlfriend what you told us, like how much that you love her and that you are truly devoted to only her.  let her know that you respect and understand the predicament that she is in, and that you love her so much that you will wait for her.  in the meantime there are ways to be together even if not in person.  write her letters or poems telling her how you feel, you can always get these to her through mutual friends that know what you two are going through.  women love men who can verbally express their feelings.  lots of men think that you have to be all macho and all, but to me that is not a turn on at all.  so take some advice from a voice of experience and best of luck with your new love.


It's a matter of personal taste. For those who have a very strong database background, I would recommend iBatis. With it, you will *always* work with real SQL.\n\nOn the other hand, if you use hibernate, you can take an approach of writting code which will be portable amongst many databases.\n\nMy experience says that it is a lot easier for a company to change their application server or programming language than it is for them to change their database server (this may not be your case). So, writting unportable (but efficient) SQL code is not a sin.


Tuff call..it seems there are many...some are very obvious hoaxes while others are not..there was a filming of a crop circle by a tv crew in England from years ago..at that time they wittnessed and and captured on vid/film a small object zipping through the field then through the air..where the circle was in the field..it was interesting and it may be the source of the crop circles. Another film had 2 of the same types of objects in it ..taken by a crop circle..that link is below..you be the judge.

Whats the best way to relieve and/or prevent really dry, cracked, chapped lips for children?

My young daughter suffers from a rare skin disease called "lichen planus"...I need to keep a close watch on her skin, especially during the cold winters here in the northeast.  Aquaphor ointment seems to work best, both for preventative measures and a quick cure.  It's great all over the body, including lips.  A slight "schmear" in the nostrils also helps keep dry sinuses moist.

how do we manage relationships where we dont get to meet our spouse for long years?

Keep the communication lines open.  I know it's difficult maintaining a long distance relationship.  My first long distance relationship didn't work.  My second one did.  I married the second one and 3 years later, we're still very much in love and happy.  Don't forget to pray.  Put God first in your lives.  The rest will follow.  God Bless!  I hope your relationship will last forever.


This is an antibiotic in the cephalosporin class, strength 500 mg.  It is effective against a fairly specific set of bacterial infections.  Use this medication only on the advice of a competant medical practitioner.


Even if the moon is really shifting away from earth every year, the total distance it shifts is nearly negligible (it is something infinitesimal). So at first glance even it seems worrying, we are not going to loose our moon in any near future.

Has anyone heard about the Advair discus (for COPD) being dangerous or fatal to users?

The Advair Diskus Inhaler is a very safe and effective medication and has very few side effects associated with its use.  The steriodal medication in the inhaler works locally in the lung with very little systemic activity. I have never heard of any death caused by Advair.   \n\nIf you have any concern or question of the risks or benifits of this medication in your individual situation, please talk to your doctor or pharmasist. They will know your spacific situation and any special risks or beifits to you from Advair.\n\nAnyone with COPD using Advair and discontinues its use, without professional medical advise could pose a great risk to themselves including the possiblity of death.


What are thoughts on Mexicans coming to America?

The very essence of America is that is has been created by immigrants.. unless we are Native American, we are all descendents of immigrants..  now is no different.. except for one thing.  Now it seems that so many feel it is their 'right' to just come here without going through the legalities.  They think that it is fine to come illegally.. and after doing so, many EXPECT to have everything handed to them.  The cost in one year to our country because of illegals is approximately $10 BILLION!  Each one of the 10 to 12 million illegals takes IN approximately $2700. MORE than they pay out in any taxes.. if they pay any at all.. because a great many are paid for whatever work they do, in cash. The illegals, because they are not checked and monitored as those who come here legally, bring crime and disease.. it has been shown that illegals have managed to even bring LEPROSY back onto the scene.  The argument has been made that these are 'good, honest, hard working' people.. ok, perhaps they are good and hard working..but HONEST??  No.. the very first thing they do is break the law.  I have no problem at all with those who come to this country to better their lives and that of their families.. but if they cannot do so legally, they SHOULD be treated like the criminals they become.

On a scale of 1-10 with 1 being not bad and 10 being awful pain. How painful is it to haev breast augmentation

I will tell you from experience it is not as bad as people make it sound. I would say 3 maybe 4. It really all depends on how much pain you can tolerate, how well you take care of yourself, and if you follow through with what you need to do after. One thing I suggest is to really study up on the doctors in your area and ask people who have used the doctor you may use. My sister-in-law recieved one a couple of months before me and she was in total pain, that scared the crap out of me, I almost backed out. I went through with it and I love it. I was back at work within 3 days, (not with everyone). What I realized was she (my sister-in-law) doesn't take care of her body very well so her body didn't not take it so well. I wish you luck with your decision

What is spirital or religious arrogance ?    All are invited (even Atheists, Agnostics and non-Monotheists)?

Spiritual or religious arrogance is called religious exclusivism. It's when someone considers him/herself "holier than thou." It's the belief in Absolute Truth, and that only people who believe the same things as the religious exclusivist is right, while everyone else is wrong.


Do americans really get their teeth bleached white, or is that just hollywood?

Not all Americans do this, but some do. It can be used either for reasons of vanity, removal of stains from smoking or poor oral hygiene. The trend began as movie/tv stars began doing it for varius reasons and then caught on with the general public. Me? I don't subscribe to it. Consistent and proper oral hygiene is good enough for me. Some of the procedures used, especially home treatments, can remove the dentin from ones teeth. Dentin is the outer shell of the tooth usually referred to as enamel. The weakening of this outer protective covering can make ones teeth susceptible to cavities, tooth/teeth sensitivity, (ironically) further susceptibility to stains and premature tooth decay and possibly gum disease. Trends are for suckers and only serve to make the sellers rich as they tend to prey on ones personal insecurities and their "need" to fit in. Be yourself and stand out in a crowd.


Definitely go get tested. And don't feel embarrassed about it or anything of the sort if that's the problem-believe me, doctors are used to that. And don't forget that some STDs result in serious cases, so go get tested ASAP.

Can a 23 year old straight woman fall n love w/another woman? Is she gay even if she never date another woman?

You're probably clinging because people do that when they're stressed (I can certainly relate).  Also, you can feel in love with someone -- even in the romantic sense -- without being sexually attracted to them.  If you've never met this woman before, you can't know whether the two of you would have any sexual chemistry together -- you can't know that until you meet in person.

what exactly happens when a nuke is detonated?

Alpha radiation-ejected nucleus-heavy very short range\nBeta-ejected electrons- lighter short range\nGamma-electromagnetic-very long range\nShockwave-a wave of sonic energy generated by the expanding detonation\nwind-from the detonation\nwind-from the suction of the rising hot gases\nFallout-radioactive materials that were thrown high into the atmosphere and are returning to earth.\n\nPhysics- in a fission device a uranium 235 core is compressed to a critical mass by explosives around it then proton are fired into the core. Some of the nuclei fall apart and release 2 high energy neutrons which collide with other nuclei causing a chain reaction that grows at an exponential rate (2^2).\n\nin a fusion device the fision reaction is used to compress a hydrogen pellet until the hydrogen atoms fuse into helium atoms. 2 hydrogen atoms become neutrons while 2 remain as electron proton pairs. The 2 that fuse into neutrons give up the energy of the orbiting electron.

Is it true that you should walk for 60min a day to lose weight, and 30min a day will pretty much do nothing?

No 30 minutes  a day is still plenty to make some difference - if your not used to exercising or walking so much -take it slow - going an hour a day if your not accustomed to it will only burn you out too soon - I just had a baby 2 months ago and just started walking her in her stroller a month ago - I only do this maybe 3 -4 times a week for 30 mins at a time and it seems to be helping as opposed to when I wasn't doing anything at all


Why do I receive AM stations from hundreds of miles away at night, but only locally during the day?

Medium wave and short wave radio signals act differently during daytime and nighttime. During the day, AM signals travel by groundwave, refracting around the curve of the earth over a distance up to a few hundred miles (or kilometers) from the signal transmitter. However, after sunset, changes in the ionosphere cause AM signals to travel by skywave, enabling AM radio stations to be heard much farther from their point of origin than is normal during the day. This phenomenon can be easily observed by scanning an AM radio dial at night. As a result, many broadcast stations are required as a condition of license to reduce their broadcasting power significantly after sunset, or even to suspend broadcasting entirely during nighttime hours. (Such stations are commonly referred to as daytimers.)\n\nSome other radio stations are granted clear channel rights, meaning that they broadcast on frequencies whose use is restricted and thus relatively unaffected by interference from other stations.


what does magnesium oxide do for humams?

Magnesium oxide is the most common (because it is the cheapest to produce) form of supplementation for Magnesium.  \n\nMagnesium is a vital mineral (required) that is involved in the function of over 300 enzymes in the body (enzymes are the 'worker molecules' that make the chemical reactions work in your body).  It is necessary for energy production by the cells, for hormone synthesis and functions, and for the proper function of many other vitamins and minerals.  Deficiency is associated with a wide range of health problems including: hypertension, heart disease, migraine headaches, Alzheimer's, recurring bacterial infections, PMS, osteoporosis, mood swings, even some forms of cancer.\n\nAs for magnesium oxide, this is very poorly absorbed and should be avoided.  Better supplemental forms would include: magnesium citrate, magnesium gluconate, magnesium glycinate or magnesium citrate-malate.\n\nHope you find this helpful. Good luck and best wishes.

"Aggies gathered together on June 26,1883 to live over again their college days, the victories and defeats won and lost upon the drill field and in the classroom. By April 21, 1903, this annual gathering evolved into a celebration of Texas' Independence on San Jacinto Day. These early meetings included field games and banquets for Aggies to reflect and celebrate their memories of Aggieland. 'Let every alumni answer a roll call' wrote the former students. It was not until 1922, however, that April 21 became the official day of events for all Aggies, thus, the annual tradition of Muster was born. The March 1923 Texas Aggie urged, 'If there is an A&M man in one-hundred miles of you, you are expected to get together, eat a little, and live over the days you spent at the A&M College of Texas.\n\nStill remembering and honoring the time spent in Aggieland, the tradition of mustering has grown in strength, meaning, and spirit. By 1929, meeting had grown worldwide, and in 1942 Aggie Muster gained international recognition. Twenty-five men, led by General George Moore '08, mustered during the Japanese Siege of the Philippine island of Corregidor. Knowing that Muster might soon be called for them, these Aggies embodied the essence of commitment, dedication, and friendship- the Aggie Spirit. They risked their lives to honor their beliefs and values. That small group of Aggies on an outpost during World War II inspired what has developed into one of our greatest traditions.\n\nMuster is celebrated in more than four-hundred places world wide, with the largest ceremony on the Texas A&M campus in College Station. The ceremony brings together more Aggies, worldwide, on one occasion than any other event."


How do you cope with childhood hearing loss or any info on sensorineurological hearing loss in children?

This first site seems to be very helpful:\n\nhttp://members.bainbridge.net/~bill.adams/sms.htm\n\n"Sensorimotor" is made up of "sensori" and "motor."  The sensori part refers to perception of environmental events, while motor refers to the exploratory activity of the entire body. They are two sides of a coin, or better, two halves of a circle.  They work in a continuous cycle of  sensori input and motor output.  It is not a reactive system like the old “stimulus-response” psychology of the behaviorists, where a sensory input “triggers” some adaptive output. Nothing is triggered.   Rather, ongoing exploratory ("motor") activity orients the perceptual systems so they are optimized to apprehend the object or situation being explored.  At the same time, ongoing ("sensori") perception of what is being explored guides the exploratory activity in readjustments.  The two kinds of activity are complementary and work together in smooth coordination. \n\nThe Sensorimotor Cycle is a kind of consciousness though.  It’s easy to get the wrong impression that it is a pattern of behavior, a kind of perception, a particular cognitive style or even a pattern of neurological activity, of the so-called “afferent” (input) and “efferent” (output) neural impulses.  None of those comparisons would be correct.  I’ll contrast the Sensorimotor Cycle  with those other ideas for clarification.\n\n\n\n\nInternational Federation of Hard of Hearing People\nhttp://www.ifhoh.org/papers/trychin.htm\n\nSensori-Neural Hearing Loss in Children\nhttp://www.aegis.com/aidsline/2000/nov/A00B0480.html\n\nGood luck and God Bless

Why is it that only mankind has this urged to worship? This urged is not found in any other animals.?

Because God breathed His life into us.  He created us because the Bible teaches us the God IS love not just that HE has love and in order for love to made complete, it needs something to love and not only that, it requries the object of its affection to have the capacity to respond and to return this love at an equivilent level.  That is why were created in His image and likeness.  You would never love something that couldn't return or respond to your love would you?  This was the purpose of the whole creation.  The universe and this world were created to be a suitable environment for us the objects of His love to be able to survive in.  You wouldn't have a baby without first buying a crib or clothing or supplies would you? (only the responsible parents out there need answer) And so Worship is our natural response to God, worship is us returning love towards God because He first loved us.  Worship is not only singing and dancing.  All that is great and needs to be done but we must realize these things are only a result of worship. they are not the definitions of worship.  Worship is our response to God and His love and when you truly know what His love is, the natural response is joy, peace, singing, dancing, shouting, celebration and so on and so forth.....  So one day all of creations will know and realize who God is, and even the beasts of the field will worship Him. How much more then should we as humans His greatest creation know who He is and worship Him.


Do you think polygamy should be legalized in the U.S. ?

wow! so many yes! i guess in society and culture section many who blast 4 marrage system in islam are just jealous christians!\n\n  even not all muslims have more than one wife. \n\n any way, from a country where it was allowed till some 60 years back, i can tell it only deteriorates families. it continuous peacefully when one of the wife has low self esteem or have no where else to go she compromises as atleast she has a roof over her head. when it comes to inheritence the situationm is worse.\n\n   ever heard of sati system in india? it was mostly in bengal. you know why ? in bengal hindu law of inheritance daybhag was applied. that meant the widow had a full right of her husbands property even if she had no child. in rest of india widow without child just had life interest in property. polygamy was rampant. so the result was youger wives were often forced to die on funeral pyre along with their husbands. you have no idea the downfall and problems such systems cause in society.\n\n  if you read history of mugals you will find how many brothers cut each others throats because every queen and her chldren claimed the throne as their right. \n    \n   other than that when some of partners will be emtionally and otherwise deprived of marital needs they are going to cause problems in families.\n\n your family system is already falling apart. are you looking for a last nail?


The answer above mine is idiotic! He (or She) means Diameter, which is certainly different than Demeter. I'm in a religion class right now, and Demeter is by far one of my favorite Greek Gods. I can't find my notes about Demeter right of hand, but I know she is worshipped as the goddess of agriculture, or harvest like you said, so she would be worshipped a lot by farmers and such. She also controls the seasons and why they occur. He daughter Persephane was kidnapped by Hades, and was rescued like three months later, but through a deal that Hermes (I think) worked out to rescue her, she (Persephane) had to return to Hades and be the queen of the underworld for 3 months out of every year. During these three months every year when Persephane is in Hades, Demeter (her mother) mourns and does not keep up with her duties as Goddess of Agriculture, thereby creating three months of winter, and Demeter rejoices when Persephance is returned to her after the three months, thereby creating spring! Demeter and Persephane are two really cool Gods to study more on if you want to.

Is this a good way to ask a girl to prom?

Sounds like a great idea!! It would definitely be hard to turn you down.  Just a suggestion though... is it possible to do reconnaissance before you pop the prom question?  Can you find out if she has a date already?  It would be such a bummer if she has a date already.  Still, even if she does and you're interested in this girl, go for it even if you know that you'll be turned down. Think of it as an investment!

Should I tell the parents: School kids being mean;?

I would say if the teacher is not willing to take responsibility then go to the principal. There are laws against bullying and the school is responsible for the safety of the kids while in the learning environment.\n\nApproach the teacher 1st. Document everything including the meeting (in form of emails/meeting minutes etc) and take a witness with you as a double back-up. If that fails, have a meeting with the principal. Document that too. In the worst case scenario you can always take them to court.\n\nAlso try and talk to your child and get details about the bullying. Generally bullies pick on those they consider weaker. So if your child shows that there is support or can stand up to them they might stop harrassing her.


Is there a law in Fl. that prevents sex offenders from living next to a school?

There is a state law, and there are laws passed by individual municipalities within Florida.  There was a city on the Guld coast that recently created a law that said no sex offender could live within one mile of a school.  The funny part was that this made it impossible for any sex offenders to live in that city.

what are bees doing in the winter time ?

Bees stay in their hives. Some die of course but more are produced to replace them. The worker bees exercise their wings and bodies to create enough heat to keep themselves and the queen warm enough to survive.These worker bees consume part of the honey in the nest to replace the energy lost by their activities in grooming the queen, caring for the larvae and keeping warm. They stay very close to the hive during winters.\n\nThis is why beekeepers never remove all the honey from a hive. Honey is the bees' method of laying in a food supply. A very long or very cold winter can kill a lot of the worker bees. The remainder will remain close to the queen to keep her and the larvae alive until the weather warms.

would like wedding symbols that i can download to put around a poem?

Hi, I just did a quick search for you and found this site to have quite a few. Hope that this helps!\nhttp://www.123weddingcards.com/Wedding_Symbols/wedding_symbols.htm


You can buy one on the Internet, from Intelius.com for example, but it costs about $50 and includes a criminal check.  If you buy one, the report shows on the screen.  Then at top far left of your screen, click on "file", then "print", or "print preview" and then "print."  Or in your tool bar there should be a printer symbol.  If that doesn't work, do as indicated at the beginning of this answer.


Christians - What is "falling away" in the spiritual sense?

In the end times (which started with the 1st century heresies), many wanna-be believers will be lead astray by false prophets & false teachers who have a lot (or most) of the Gospel, but it will be tainted with untruth, heresy, apostasy. The Great Deceiver is good at what he does... the victims won't even know they were stung by Satan until they get to the White Judgment Throne and are given the terrible word: "DEPART!"


how many friends did you used to have and how many friends do you have now and who did you drop?

Always had the same number of friends coz we should learn to keep our friends instead of replacing or losing them! :P


what do tou think abaout new friend from the cyber ?

Sexual predators are very dangerous, you should not take this lightly.  I would warn them to stop, completely.  If they do not, take legal action.  It sounds somewhat severe, but you can't risk this person being a threat to you, or perhaps even members of your family or friends.\n\nGood Luck


What is the engine called that doesn't need to mix gas and oil together?

It`s an oil injected 2-stroke that you must use an injector safe 2-stroke oil with, or it`s a 4-stroke with a dry sump system which has an oil tank.Unlike a wet sump 4-stroke where the engine oil is poured into the crankcase.If it is the 4-stroke dry sump system you should try to get yourself a manual for it so you know how to properly check the oil level due to the fact that most dry sump motorcycle engines require that you let the engine idle for 5 minutes (without revving it up at all) in order to get a proper reading.the honda trx 400ex,and the honda aquatrax watercraft are a couple examples of this.\n  OK to tell wether or not it`s a 2-stroke or a 4-stroke, if it has a plastic tank for the oil with 1 rubber line running from it to the carburator, or somewhere real close to it, like the intake manifold, then it`s a 2-stroke.These usually wont have a dipstick either.\n  If it has 2 lines with metal fittings and a banjo bolt with a crush washer on both sides of each line it`s a 4-stroke wet sump engine.this is not to be confused with an oil cooler that will have 2 lines and same fittings but go from the engine to what looks like a small radiator without a cap(which is essentially what it is).\n  One other tell tale is how the engine sounds if it sounds like a chainsaw it`s a 2-stroke.If it sounds like a riding lawnmower it`s a 4-stroke.\n  Also a 2-stroke exhaust pipe will get alot bigger about 5 to 6 inches after leaving the exhaust port.By alot I mean it will go from a 1 3/4 in. dia. to 7 or 8 in. dia.  and then taper down to a small dia of approx. 3/4 in. dia.\n A 4-stroke pipe will be the same size dia. all the way back to the muffleron a single cylinder, or to where the individual pipes of a multi cylinder engine come together then get slightly bigger before the muffler or megaphone on old inline 4 headers like Kerker or MAC .\n  Hope this helps.

my crush is very cute,but he have many gf ,what i wants to do?i am really jeolus?

all is fair in love and war.  Or nothing is fair in life. So IF your better looking than his girlfiend or have a better personality your doing him a favor.  The other girl will find someone else and anyways their not married so who cares.  The only thing is if his Gf is your best friend you might not want to get involved. best friends are more valuable.

If I restarted into selective mode and got a "need to reactivate windows" icon and did so,have I now lost all?

Just noticed your response to Comp - try logging off of your current user (Start-->Log Off) when the user selection screen comes up (Screen with the chosen windows idenitity pitcure) hit CTRL+ALT+DEL 2 times to bring up the N.T. 4.0 lookin' G.U.I. and type in your user name and password (when applicable). That should take you back to your initial user.  Then check your user rights in the control panel to make sure you're and administrator.  Some games write to the registry for install and you have to have administrator privledges.  Good Luck!


Dyslexia is a term that has been loosely applied to reading disabilities. Specific definitions for dyslexia vary with disciplines. Those in medicine define dyslexia as a condition resulting from neurological, maturational, and genetic causes, while those in psychology relate dyslexia on the basis of the specific reading problems evidenced and give no reference to causation. All disciplines would probably agree that dyslexia is evidenced by persons of otherwise normal intellectual capacity who have not learned to read despite exposure to adequate instruction.

It looks like they were only given to the first 700 people to buy the Gilmore Girls 4th Season DVD with thier Mastercard, so I imagine they would be quite hard to get, unless one of those 700 people is willing to sell thiers.  However, if you look on eBay, there's lots more cool Gilmore Girl stuff you can get.


It is President Bush's fault.  It is his fault because he is in charge.  Only people who have been in charge understand this principle.  First year cadets at West Point are allowed only two answers: "Yes, sir." and "No excuse, sir.".\n\nBush is simply not a capable leader in times of crisis.  We saw that in the days immediately following 9/11, and the days immediately following Katrina.  Bush is now playing the "Lessons Learned" card, while we have seen he is incapable of learning these lessons.  I don't know which is more disturbing, his performance with that fireman's hat on the rubble of my World Trade Center, or that infamous photo of him peering out of the airplane window at all the suffering below.  It wasn't until Mayor Nagin was radio broadcasting that next Friday morning, about the crazed drug addicts and criminals running rampant, that Bush finally gave the matter some serious attention.

how do I file taxes on real estate that I own in another state?

Real Estate is the hardest thing in the world.  I will need more information from you.  First off was this real estate rented?  If not you can simply claim it on your 1040 Schedule A.  If it was rented then you have to claim it on your Scedule E (Income from Rental Property).   If you are trying to claim this on your State taxes I will need to know what state you are currently residing in to find out if you can claim it or not.\n\nMonteverde2\nUS Army Tax Preparer

How do you find the inverses of functions if the functions involve square roots?

First, I suggest that when you encounter the words "square root" you immediately translate to "the one half power." Now your equation is f(x)= 5*[(5x - 5)^(1/2)] -6; write that as 5*[(5x - 5)^(1/2)] -6 = y, so that f(x) = y. Now exchange the variables, x for y, and y for x. The new equation becomes 5*[(5y - 5)^(1/2)] -6 = x. Solve this equation for y and you now have the equation for the inverse of the function f(x), specifically f'(x). Step by step: Add 6 to each side, then divide both sides by 5; you get [(5y - 5)^(1/2)] = (x+6)/5. Now square both sides: (5y - 5) = [(x+6)/5]^2. Add 5 to each side: 5y = [(x+6)/5]^2 + 5; then divide both sides by 5: y = {[(x+6)/5]^2 + 5}/5 = {[(x+6)/5]^2 }/ 5 + 1. Further manipulation if you wish, yields  {[(x+6)^2]/25}/5 + 1, and a final form of [(x+6)^2/125] + 1 = y = f'(x), the inverse function. All you do is exchange the x's and y's and solve for y in the "exchanged" equation.


I need some color suggestions for my wedding?

Hard to go wrong with blue or yellow. If you really want to stand out, put the girls in a dark or bright color, like royal blue or sunflower yellow. If you want a more blending idea, go with pastels. You may want to consider your ideal favors, cake, or site and take color inspirations from there. If all else fails, ask your girls what looks good on them.

HE MIGHT NEED TIME TO THINK ABOUT IT. DON'T RUSH HIM TO RESPOND. JUST LET IT BE KNOWN. YOU'LL FIGURE IT OUT. \n\nGOOD LUCK


Probably not the act of photocopying. You can see pictures of money on all kinds of sites, even the government. It is when you try to pass off the photocopy as real money that gets you in trouble.\nGenerally the rule was the picture of the money couldn't be the same size as real money. The intent was to cut down on people cutting out the picture and then passing it as money. (it still happens)


i made a promise with a bracelet to a guy i loved back in 2003 we broke up july 05 he still has it?

#1 Sorry you are upset and that your relationship ended badly.\n\n#2 NEVER give away something that was in your family to anyone. He can consider it a gift and choose not to return it. \n\n#3 Write him a letter and send it certified mail, restricted delivery, return receipt requested. Explain why the bracelet is important to you and ask fot it back without mentioning anything about breaking up or your hurt. Make the letter only about the bracelet. Enclose a self addressed, stamped envelope in the letter so he can mail it back to you without confrontation. By it being restricted delivery, his parents cannot sign for the letter nor can they refuse delivery. It has to be taken care of by him. Make sure that you fill out the envelope that you want him to return it in also as a certified letter etc. and keep a copy of the tracking # that is on there. That way he cannot say he sent it when he did not, because then you can track it online. Good Luck!

What are the best upgrades I need for my new Media Center PC to keep the CPU from spiking?

You need to see how many programs are running on your taskbar.  If you have a lot, you need to bump some off.  Your computer should not be spiking much with 1 gigabyte of RAM--it kind of suprises me.  Start --> Run... --> "msconfig" without the quotes will bring up your startup list.  You may either Disable all the boot-up programs, ones that load whenever you computer boots up, which really slows it down, or you can go through and hand pick a few.  Windows will keep the ones that it needs to run.\n\nYou could also defragment your hard drive, such a large hard drive needs to be kept up rountinely.  Start --> Accessories --> Systems Tools --> Disk Defragmenter.\n\nSpyware often slows down a computer as well, so you may want to get Ad-Aware (http://lavasoft.com/) and run a few scans to get all that nasty stuff off of your computer.  Your anti-virus's automatic updater or Windows's automatic updater may be slowing down your computer at a certain that they are set to check.  You can change the anti-virus's by probably going into the Options of the program.  You may just turn Windows Update off, even though it takes hardly anything at all--so I don't recommend it.  And also, make sure you do Windows Updates regularly, they will speed up a computer sometimes.\n\nIf you still experience spikes, then you probably need some more virtual memory.  Right-click "My Computer" --> Properties --> Advanced tab.  Under the performance section you will see a virtual memory/paging button.  Click it.\nYou will have to set it custom.  Since, it is healthy for your computer to have 2.5 or 3 times the amount of RAM in paging/virtual memory, you need 2.5/3 GB of paging/virtual memory.  Set the minimum and maximum to the same thing.\n\nIf you STILL have spiking issues, contact me at: intervain@hotmail.com.  I'll give you some tweaking secrets.


do sexually abuse individual have a tendency of changing their sexual preference?

Pruritis is the medical word for itch.\nThe exact cause of an itch is unknown and is a complex process. It involves nerves in the skin responding to certain chemicals such as histamine, and then processing these signals in the brain. Pruritis can be a symptom of certain skin diseases, and sometimes a manifestation of an internal process. In other patients where there is no evidence of skin or internal disease, pruritis may be due to faulty processing of the itch sensation within the nervous system.

Which way does the water in the toliet go in the southern hemisphere?

In the northern hemisphere the toilet bowl water circulates counterclockwise, and in the southern hemisphere it circulates clockwise.\nThe water in the toilet moves in the same manner as the air in a hurricane or tornado. The effect causing the rotation is the Coriolis effect, and is not a force, although it is sometimes referred to as a force.\n\nConsider the situation in the northern hemisphere.\n\nLiquids or gases nearer the equator are traveling faster as the earth turns than the liquids and gases nearer the poles, because everything nearer the equator must travel a longer linear distance each day to make the 360 degree rotation from west to east. If liquid/gas nearer the equator must head toward a target (low pressure) in the direction of the poles, it finds that the target is not traveling as fast west to east as it (liquid/gas) is traveling, and if it stays on its direct polar-bound route it will overshoot the target to the east (right on a map). To hit the target the liquid/gas must correct its flight and turn west (left) as it travels poleward. Such corrective action creates a curved path of travel which leads to circular flow. Liquid/gas poleward of the target (low pressure) is traveling west to east slower than the target (the diameter of the earth measured perpendicular to the earth rotation axis decreases as one moves toward the poles), and in its travel towards the equator, will undershoot the target to the west(the target moved faster). To reach the target from the pole side the liquid/gas must turn to the east in a curved path, and this leads to circular flow in the same counterclockwise direction as the liquid/gas coming from the other side of the target (low pressure).\n\nIn the southern hemisphere the case is the same, but because poleward bound and turning west means circling clockwise, as does equator-bound and turning east.\n\nNow in a toilet bowl the target and low pressure is the drain (a sink hole), so the drain operates the same as a hurricane. Ditto for the tornado.

would america attack on iran to prevent her from uranium enrichment?

For those of you who aren't hooked on the History Channel... (I might be a geek...)  If Iran does not comply with requests to shut down its nuclear program (regardless of its intent)... the U.S. primary strike will most likely be from the air.  A ground assault would require 300,000 troops which would put an enormous strain on the Armed Forces already spread into any area Uncle Sam's engorged nose is poked.\n\nBecause Iran most likely keeps terrorists funded, this initial strike may cause an increase of car bombings in Iraq and other places the U.S. has landed itself including, perhaps, her own soil.  Iran would most likely use the same guerilla warfare tactics being used in Iraq.\n\nIran has a professional army of 800,000 plus an untrained organization of recruits that number around 7 million.  One tactic the U.S. may use to prevent a duplication of the Iraq situation is to strike fast and hard from the air and promise that the next attack will be an all out invasion which would level any Iranian threat.  The hope is that the thought of a massive U.S. invasion would quell any Iranian urges to retaliate.\n\nThe problem with Iran is that it is 4 times as big as Iraq and its people are larger in number and different in character.  This is a proud nation, one which has had the longest standing borders of the middle eastern world.  Its a nation with a history of power and prestige.  And as recent history shows us, they have citizens willing to literally throw themselves at the enemy.  (Iraq/Iran war.)\n\nSo will an American attack on Iran prevent their uranium enrichment ambitions?  Maybe.  But let's remember that keeping the Iranian people happy while constraining the Iranian government is an extremely tricky thing to do.  And as long as Iran continues being elusive about their nuclear program and the U.S. adamant about knowing... an attack on Iran might be in our future.\n\nThe New York Times has a report quoting credible sources saying that the U.S. army is already training for an Iranian war.\n\nFor the U.S. government's reasons for going to war, see this link.\nhttp://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,123081,00.html

From what I have gathered thru my search it is some kind of antibody.\nXenotropic murine-like retrovirus (XMRV) is closely related (96% genomic identity) to a group of retroviruses found in mice, xenotropic murine leukemia virus. Xenotropic means the virus crossed species.  Though such viruses can cause disease in animals other than mice, there has been no documented human infection until a recent report, in which the virus was detected in prostate cancer tissue.   The virus's link to human disease is still unclear, and more study is needed to determine the relationship, if any, between the virus and cancer.   While the genetics of prostate cancer are complex, one of the first genes implicated in the disease was RNASEL, a gene that serves as an important defense against viruses. Given the anti-viral role of this gene, some researchers have speculated that a virus could be involved in some types of prostate cancers in men with mutated RNASEL genes.\n\nIn the new study, the researchers discovered the novel virus far more often in human prostate tumors with two copies of the RNASEL gene mutation than in those with at least one normal copy. \nThe new finding further validates the strategy of using the virus chip to discover previously unknown viruses and potentially uncover new viral causes for disease, the researchers say. While most other virus identification techniques require researchers to look for only a small number of candidates, the virus chip represents an unbiased search, since all known viruses are tested simultaneously. \n\nThe study is part of an on-going effort launched two years ago by DeRisi and Ganem at UCSF, using the chip, or microarray, to search for new viruses associated with a wide range of human disease. So far, the chip has been used to search for novel viruses in about 300 cases of respiratory infections and about 50 cases of meningitis, as well as a dozen or more cases of severe encephalitis, and hepatitis and leukemia. \n\nIn the study, researchers examined tissue samples of 86 prostate cancer patients whose prostates had been surgically removed. Among the 20 prostate tumor samples from men with mutations in both copies of their RNASEL viral defense gene, eight of them, or 40 percent, contained the virus, while the virus was found in only one of 66 tumors from men with at least one normal copy of the gene. \n\nThe researchers don't know if the virus is unique to prostate tumors because this is the first tumor type they have studied using virus chip technology. As with most scientific discoveries, the identification of this virus in human prostate tissue prompts many more questions than it answers, they emphasize. \n\nThe gene-hunting technique DeRisi and Ganem call the Virochip is designed to identify any virus sample by comparing its DNA or RNA to more than 20,000 snippets of genetic material derived from all known viruses -- found in humans, animals, plants, fungi and bacteria. The chip draws on computer chip technology, computation and bioinformatics, but in essence it is a simple 3 x 1 inch glass microscope slide. Onto the slide the scientists robotically deposit 10 to 12 different DNA sequences from all known viruses. \n\nEach sample appears as a microscopic dot, about a tenth of a millimeter in diameter –giving it the name micoroarray. Researchers then wash fluorescently tagged DNA from a sample of interest over the slide, and wherever the two sets of nucleic acid match up, they anneal to each other. The slide is then rinsed and visualized with a scanning laser microscope. The dots that have found a match glow with fluorescent light. \n\n\nOctanol/Water Partition Coefficient \n The ratio of the amount of a substance that will dissolve in octanol versus the amount that will dissolve in water.
