What was the Black Death plague in 1347? Was a cure eventually found?

The Black Death was a devastating pandemic that first struck Europe in the mid-14th century (1347–50), killing about a third of Europe's population, an estimated 34 million people. A series of contemporaneous plague epidemics also occurred across large portions of Asia and the Middle East, indicating that the European outbreak was actually part of a multiregional pandemic. The same disease is thought to have returned to Europe every generation with varying degrees of intensity and fatality until the 1700s.\n\nThe most popular version was that it was spread by fleas on rats to humans although this is not universally accepted. It is believed that better sanitation eventually led to the plague no longer returning. No cure was ever found.

why is acetone put into nail polish remover?

Acetone is a polar molecule (i.e. the centers of positive and negative charges in its molecule do not exactly coincide). It infact is more polar than the water molecule (2.91 D > 1.85 D). Due to this (and of course other reasons I donot know) acetone has a very good solvent action and finds use in industry primarily as a solvent - including its use as a nail polish (which contains nitrocellulose; acetone probably breaks this down) remover.


Nondisjunction occurs during meiosis (cell division that produces gametes), specifically anaphase I. Normally, homologous chromosome pairs are lined up in the middle during metaphase I and are seperated from one another in anaphase I, a process called disjunction. However when this process does not occur, both chromosomes in the pair are carried together to the same pole of the cell, resulting in one cell having too many chromosomes and the other having too few. This can lead to genetic disorders, such as Down's syndrome (aka trisomy 21 - 3 copies of chromosome 21). Hope this helps!

at what age should children have TB shots?

As soon is as legally allowed..........I live 2 miles from the Mexican border in Texas.  People come over, kids or not, and they have never been vaccinated for many of the diseases that we take for granted(whooping cough, measels, mumps, POLIO, TUBERCULOSIS).  We take these diseases for granted because we as a society don't see them as a wide spread problem...but they are.  Working in a South Texas School District, a person has to have a TB test every 6 months.  Why? because the diseace can mutate with every antibiotic that is not taken correctly.  GET YOUR SHOT!!!!!

Do you think the "Fair Housing Act" is fair if you are looking for a specific type of roommate?

The Fair Housing Act is only limited to certain types of discrimination, such as discrimination based on religion, raced and family status.  If you are a vegan and only want to rent to other vegans, there is no law against that.\n\nIn the case of a traditional newspaper, most advertisments are listed for a fee and screened by the newspaper.   Craigslist is a forum where people can post messages and advertisements at no charge.  I don't think it should be up to Craigslist to screen the advertisements.

Is there a separation of church and state?

There's a pretty clear separation in the western world.  Bad things happen when they're mixed.

istructions on creating glue for a science project?

milk glue\n\n(idea) by FredPenner (47.6 min) (print)  ?  1 C!Thu Feb 02 2006 at 3:33:08\n\nDid you know that milk (along with a few other common ingredients) can be used to make glue? What fun!\n\nHere's a few recipes that you can try with your kids next time Science Fair season rolls around at school:\n\nSimple Milk Glue\nIngredients:\n1 Enameled pot (non-metallic)\n500ml skim milk\n90ml vinegar\n60ml water\n15ml baking soda\n\nMethod:\n1) Heat milk and vinegar slowly, stirring constantly until milk begins to curdle (separate).\n2) Remove from heat and continue stirring until curdling stops.\n3) Let the mixture sit until all the curds (thick white bits) have settled to the bottom.\n4) Strain the curds or pour off the liquid (whey).\n5) Place the curds on newspaper or paper towel and allow to dry to a glue-ish consistency.\n6) Mix curds, water and baking soda. The vingegar will react with the baking soda. Stir until bubbling stops.\n7) Store glue in an air-tight container.\n\nThis glue will keep for a couple of days, but once it starts to smell like old milk you should probably throw it away. This applies to all these glues.\n\n\nSimpler Glue\n1) Add one cup of milk and 1/3 cup of vinegar to a mason jar.\n2) Let stand until the milk separates.\n3) Pour off the liquid (whey) and discard.\n4) Add 1/4 cup of water and 1 tbsp of baking soda.\n6) Mix and let stand until bubbling stops.\n\nI haven't tried this glue but it seems much simpler than the recipe above and requires no cooking, which makes it easier and safer for the kids.\n\n\nA bit more toxic Glue\nIngredients:\n1tbsp low fat milk powder\n80mL water\nvinegar\nammonia\n\nMethod\n1) Mix water and milk powder until dissolved.\n2) Add drops of vinegar to mixture and stir until milk curdles.\n3) Strain curd and allow to dry.\n4) Add drops of ammonia to curd, stirring until creamy.\n\nHaven't tried this one either; I'm allergic to ammonia. But it follows the same principles as the other recipes, except it uses ammonia as the base to neutralize the acidity of the vinegar. I'd stick with vinegar for the kids though.\n\nWhy it works\nIt's all about the Casein\nAll of the above recipes use milk as a source of casein, the active ingredient in this type of glue. Casein is a sticky protein composed of complex chains of amino acids that can be used to make glue as described above or even biodegradable plastics. But that's another node.

What is an IP address and can it be changed?

IP address - Internet Protocol Address\nAn IP address is like the address of your computer on the internet. Yes, it can be changed. If your service provider has given you a dynamic IP service, it keeps changing every few minutes/hours. You can check your IP address by visiting a site such as www.whatismyip.com or just going to the Command Prompt and typing "ipconfig" and hitting the enter key. If your sevice provider has given you a static IP address, it does not change by itself, but you can manually change the IP address which appears on other sites (please note, it does not change the IP address of the whole machine, it only changes the IP address in that program) by using a proxy server. You can find proxies for free at sites such as www.proxy4free.com . Here is some additional info from wikipedia, visit wikipedia for more info, see the source url -\n\nAn IP address (Internet Protocol address) is a unique number that devices use in order to identify and communicate with each other on a network utilizing the Internet Protocol standard. Any participating device — including routers, computers, time-servers, internet FAX machines, and some telephones — must have its own unique address. This allows information passed onwards on behalf of the sender to indicate where to send it next, and for the receiver of the information to know that it is the intended destination.\n\nThe numbers currently used in IP addresses range from 1.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255, though some of these values are reserved for specific purposes. This does not provide enough possibilities for every internet device to have its own permanent number. Subnet routing, Network Address Translation and the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server all allow local networks to use the same IP addresses as other networks elsewhere though both are connected to the Internet. Devices such as network printers, web servers and mail servers are often allocated static IP addresses so they can always be found.\n\nIP addresses are conceptually similar to phone numbers, except they are used in LANs (Local Area Network), WANs (Wide Area Network), or the Internet. Because the numbers are not easy for humans to remember, the Domain Name System provides a service analogous to an address book lookup called "domain name resolution" or "name resolution". Special DNS servers on the internet are dedicated to performing the translation from a domain name to an IP address and vice versa.

Why are the boyscouts attacked by the ACLU...?

The Boy Scouts of America do a lot of business with (and get money from) the American government. While no belief systems are illegal in the US, actions that exclude specific groups are regulated in some cases.\n\nIf the Boy Scouts wish to exclude some people (homosexuals and non-christians in this case) they should be free to do so, but the government shouldn't necessarily fund them.\n\nFrom an article on this issue:\n"The Boy Scouts cannot have it both ways," said ACLU volunteer attorney M.E. Stephens of the law firm Stock, Stephens, LLP. "Having gone to great lengths to establish that discrimination against gays and non-believers is essential to their mission, and therefore protected by the First Amendment, they cannot now turn around and ask the people of San Diego to foot the bill for that discrimination."

How long is a quearter in a football game?

I think each quarter is only fifteen minutes. But when during the quarter many timeouts are called, stopped plays, fouls, ect, make each quarter seem much longer. I am reasonably sure it is fifteen minutes, but it may only apply to highschool football games, as those are what I watched the most as my boys played during their highschool years. :-) I do think fifteen minutes applies to Pro games too though.

There will always be quality degradation due to the compression algorithm in MP3 format.  However, to *improve* the quality, use a program such as DBAmp (freeware) to "rip" the CD or specific song, but set the quality higher in its options.  (Note:  I assume you are talking about ripping MP3's from CDDA.  Otherwise, just copy-n-paste ;-))  (Note Again:  Setting higher quality will, naturally, increase the file size.)

Please help me, I need conversions for chemistry project!?

if I understand the question:\nto go from cal/gK to cal/gC you'd convert the temp from K to C. that's simply subtract 273. degrees C = degrees K - 273.\nif you're trying to go from j/kg to j/mol you need to know the identity of the substance you're talking about. specifically you must know the molecular weight of the substance. first convert kg to grams(multiply by 1000) then divide by the M Wt of the compound.

What is the origin of the phrase, "drunken sailor"?

Drunken Sailor was a work song often sung when raising a sail or raising the anchor, which is the reference for “Up She Rises” in the song’s chorus. Such songs were the only ones allowed in the Royal Navy. Most often, only two or three verses were sung but verses were often added until the task was completed.\n\n[edit]\nOrigins\nThe air was taken from a traditional Irish dance as well as a march tune, and is in the dorian mode. The same tune has also been used for other songs, notably Ten Little Injuns.\n\nThe music was first reproduced in printed form in 1824–25 in Cole’s Selection of Favourite Cotillions published in Baltimore. However, the lyrics were first published in 1891 under the title "What to do with a Drunken Sailor?" Another version from 1921 was subtitled Windlass and Capstan and collected and edited by R. R. Terry.\n\n[edit]\nLyrics\nIt is often said that there are as many versions of the lyrics as there are drunken sailors.\n\nIntro \nWhat shall we do with the drunken sailor, (3×) \nEarly in the morning? \nChorus \nHoo–ray/Wey–hey and up she rises, (3×) \nEarly in the morning. \n1 \nPut him in the longboat ’til he’s sober, (3×) \nEarly in the morning. \n2 \nPull out the plug and wet him all over, (3×) \nEarly in the morning. \n3 \nPut him in the scuppers with a hosepipe/hawsepipe on him, (3×) \nEarly in the morning. \n4 \nHeave him by the leg in a running bowline, (3×) \nEarly in the morning. \n5 \nTie him to the taffrail when she’s yardarm under, (3×) \nEarly in the morning. \nOutro \nThat’s what we’ll do with a drunken sailor, (3×) \nEarly in the morning. \nSome more bawdy verses also exist:\n\n6 \nShave his belly|head|legs|balls with a rusty razor, (3×) \nEarly in the morning. \n7 \nPut him in bed with the captain’s daughter, (3×) \nEarly in the morning.


Is it true that the wood balcony on my condo is my responsbilty to maintain( eg  staining, repairing?)?

You have the question I have been looking for, the perfect question right up my ally.  \nI do reserve studies and budgeting for condo/ HOA’s for part of my job.  As the last poster mentioned, check your CC&R’s for any thing you can find.  Second, get your hands on a copy of the most recent reserve study or budget.  This document will usually have a line item for deck repair or replacement.  If it doesn’t you may not be out of luck just yet.  Argue that most association include this type of repairs w/ those of the association because water damage or penetration in a failing deck could result in damage to other units (under you) or to the structure itself (their responsibility).  The only place I’ve seen an association flat out refuse to pay for fixing/repairing a deck is when the damage to the deck has been caused by the actions of the homeowner.\n\nConsider this; if a deck fails and someone falls though it, landing on the association’s common area and it’s the sudden stop on their ground that injures them, who’s paying for it?

What is the exposition of the book Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone?

Well, the entire first book could be considered exposition to the rest of the series-- Harry is just learning who and what everyone(thing)is and how things work in the wizarding world. But, Sorcerer's Stone's exposition begins in chapter one (The Boy Who Lived); however, it continues until (about) chapter seven, when Harry actually enters Hogwarts. The remaining characters are introduced here, and Harry is finally being thrust into the magical world 100%.

Could it be that this life is only a dim reflection of the true state of reality?

We know that's true, mathematically.  Check into the newest physics research.  Amazing stuff, really, but be careful of some of the new age nonsense about science (not a comment on new age, more about attempts to use half-understood science to back up there own ideas, which is foolish for anyone).  I've experienced that for a fact, though this isn't proof of anything to you, nor do I expect it to be.  Remember, we aren't that far from infants, to whom everything is a dim reflection of reality, and slowly learn to distinguish differences between one thing and another.\nExperiments with kittens show that when raised in boxes with only horizontal lines, let out when older, they cannot see table and chair legs and run into them repeatedly. When raised in boxes with only vertical lines, they cannot or will not jump onto chair seats or tables.  Neither group outgrows it if kept in the box for too much of their childhood.\n\nWhat have we missed?  What stimuli have we denied to ourselves and our children such that as adults, even if it is right in front of us, we cannot see it?  I live everyday seeing the world differently because of my experiences as a child and it gives me such an advantage dealing with people.  I'm not "better", just aware of things most people don't yet notice.  And trying to tell them only makes them look at me funny, so I simply use the knowledge, and everyone benefits without understanding why.\n\nI wish I could just show you.  Until then, I'm raising my daughter to see things clearly, to understand herself and seek the truth above all things, to love unconditionally and to choose happiness rather than search for it.\n\nThen again, maybe half of it is regaining your innocence... .  Maybe I'll see you one day.  I'll miss you until then.

Why is there a thing like money?  What would you do instead to distribute goods and services?  A long time ago, people used to use barter a lot: trade one good or service for another.  But it is impractical to carry around what you produce in order to trade it with what they produce.  And what if A wants what B has, but B wants what C has, and does not need what A has?  So money came into existence to represent wealth, as a medium of exchange.  At first, it was made of precious metals that had a value relatively well known: an ounce of gold or silver had a pretty standard value in the community.  Now it is made out of paper, and no longer paper which can be exchanged for gold or silver.  We use it because we trust the next person will accept it, just like we did.\n\nActually, nowadays we more often use accounting records, created by computers, instead of the actual money.  So we are even deeper into symbolic wealth, rather than tangible wealth, like gold or silver or a barrel of pickles.


well, i'll try to help, and i hope this does aid you:\n\nok, so the definition for pastoral, i found something like this: \n\nA literary genre. Originally a poem dealing with shepherds, a pastoral is usually written by an urban poet who idealizes the shepherds' lives. The term has now been extended to include any literary work which views and idealizes the simple life from the perspective of a more complex life. Click here for more details.\n\nso maybe that's what it is? because technically, a sonnet is a type of poem...

a friend I want to help, has health issues along with lots of medical debt, needs help beyond what I can give:

I would suggest he change his number to a non published then dont give it to anyplace that he is applying for credit or on medical records.  They have no proof that it's valid when he lists it on his admittance records.  Then get a po box.  Then if he gets any mail he doesnt want then write on it "not at this address...return to sender" then the agencies will think that they ahve the wrong place and they will start to look elsewhere to skip trace.  that will give him a temporary break if he accidentally gives it out...a long break if he can keep his info quiet.  \n\nAs for dealing wiht the agencies if he doesnt do that..... if the company he has the debt with is calling, they dont have to follow the laws of the FDCPA....only 3rd party collection agencies do.  if they are bugging him from a 3rd party, then have him write a cease and decist letter.  by law they must not make any further collection activity.  they can sue him or sell his debt and the next collection agency can collect the same way and he'd have to write another letter to them.

When somebody is calling you, the network send the message to all Base Station, and your phone answer "I am here". The network assign a channel between your phone and the Switch, and complete the channel with the calling phone.\nWhen you start moving, the phone measures the power and check which Base Station is near to change. The network orders the Handover from one Base station to the other.\nThe Cell Phone "talks to" Base Transceiver Station (BTS); the BTS is linked to Base Station Controller (BSC) and the BSC is linked to MSC or Switch. Switches are interconnected to other National, Cellular and International Switches.\n(A Switch is a Phone switching central).\nTHe interconnection between BTS-BSC, BSC-MSC and MSC-MSC is by Fibre Optics, Microwaves, Satellites, twisted cupper pairs...\nHope it helps.

this guy is always checking me out but looks away when i look a him,why?

He probably finds you attractive but is scared to give you a holla! He needs to step up to the plate before some one else does, if you like the guy why dont you talk to him? If he waits to long he might regret it later.\n If he doestn look shy but is too proud of him self to go over and talk to you maybe he isnt a very confident in himself. ask your self if he is worth all that you are trying to do for him to notice you, if not dont worry i bet you can find some one way better!

what do you think isone of the most important adaptions humans have to suit us for our current ways of life?

Human brain - our capability to think, problem solve and communicate.\n\nIf you compare human brain volume with other animals, we have the biggest (and most complex/developed) brain in relation to the body mass.  \n\nIt is our brain that gave us a distinct advantage to survive natural selection.  We have never been the strongest animal, but we're the smartest and most resourceful by far.  If not for our ability to adapt and invent, we’d have been hunt to extinction by other stronger carnivores.

Very complex question, but from a 30,000ft view...\n\nA snake is no more than a collection of many cables bundled together.  It's like taking 24 cables, taping them together and running that from the board to the stage for the musicians to connect into.  What makes it easier is you have a box on one end that sits on the stage and a "fanout" of connectors on the other end that plugs into the board.  So, for example: on stage, the lead singer plugs into channel one on the snake's stage box.  At the board, you would plug fanout connector one into the board's channel strip for the lead singer (to make things easier, let's say channel strip 1).  And so on...  The input connections on the box are typically XLR, so you may need a converter of sorts.  Also, watch out for high impedance instruments that you typically don't mic (bass guitars, keyboards); you may need a transformer (or a direct box) to convert the High Z signal to Low Z.\n\nNow, the above details connections originating from the stage and ending up at the board.  There are connections that will originate from the board and go to the stage (monitor and mains power amps, etc...).  These are called returns.  In the case of monitors (assuming 2 monitor mixes: 1 for vocals and 1 for instruments), you could take AUX 1 on your board and assign it to all vocals, connect it to return 1 and at the stage, connect return 1 to the power amp that feeds the vocal monitors.  For the mains, connect LEFT to return 3 and RIGHT to return 4.  On stage, connect return 3 to the main amp's left channel and return 4 to the main amp's right channel (note that power amps are ALMOST ALWAYS placed near the stage to limit the length of cable runs between the power amps and the speakers).\n\nCheck out Mackie or any other sound board manufacturer for their users manual; there's some pretty good diagrams of common setups.  Also, Whirlwind is a manufacturer of snakes and has some good info, too.

how deep can a sea-going vessel go before it implodes?

That depends entirely on the submarine. A properly constructed submarine can go as deep as it likes. Even manned submarines have been to the deepest parts of the ocean. Unmanned vessels go down into the deepest ocean on a monthly basis.\n\nOTOH a submarine designed for shallow water use can often only go to 50 metres or so before its starts to leak, and it would propbably implode at 100m.

Just like the rest of us, the Amish are not exempt from life's two certainties -- death and taxes. However, there is a reason behind the persistent myth that the Amish do not pay taxes.\n\nThe Amish live within self-sufficient communities and do not collect Social Security, unemployment, or welfare benefits. According to their religious beliefs, paying Social Security, an insurance premium for the elderly, is tantamount to not "taking care of their own." Amish people who are self-employed are not obliged to pay Social Security tax, but they do still pay all other taxes, including property, income, and sales tax. If an Amish person decides to work outside of the community, he or she must also pay Social Security tax like any other American.\n\nIn 1955, the IRS extended the Social Security Act of 1935 to include farm operators. At the time, some Amish people immediately complied with the tax, while others conscientiously objected to it. Many felt that it violated the separation of church and state, some did not want to accept monies for government programs, and still others believed that paying a commercial insurance for the elderly went against their trust in God to take care of them.\n\nThe IRS and the Amish played a convoluted shell game for close to a decade, until it all came to a head with the seizure of a struggling farmer's horses in 1961. The Amish elders stuck firmly by their principles, and the ensuing media and community outrage over the incident led the IRS to relent four years later. Tucked away in the 1965 Medicare Bill was a clause exempting the "Old Order Amish" and other religious groups that conscientiously objected to paying insurance premiums from Social Security tax. To be exempt, the group or sect must have been established prior to 1950 and maintain reasonable provisions for their elderly.

what are the elements present in apple fruit?

Hi there, \n\nApples are also called "negative calorie food". That means, the amount of calories used to digest the apple will be more than the amount of calories you obtain when you consume it. \n\nApples are rich in Malic Acid. (C4H6O5)\nMalic acid, an alpha-hydroxy organic acid, is sometimes referred to as a fruit acid. This is because malic acid is found in apples and other fruits. It is also found in plants and animals, including humans. In fact, malic acid, in the form of its anion malate, is a key intermediate in the major biochemical energy-producing cycle in cells known as the citric acid or Krebs cycle located in the cells' mitochondria.\n\nMalic acid, also known as apple acid, hydroxybutanedioic acid and hydroxysuccinic acid, is a chiral molecule. The naturally occurring stereoisomer is the L-form. The L-form is also the biologically active one. There is some preliminary evidence that malic acid, in combination with magnesium, may be helpful for some with fibromyalgia. Malic acid sold as a supplement is mainly derived from apples and, therefore, is the L-form. \n\nApple trees can range in size from 6 to 30 feet in height, depending on the variety and type of rootstock (dwarf, semi-dwarf, etc.).\n\nNutritional Facts:\n• High in fiber\n• High in vitimen C and potassium\n• Low in Sodium\n• Almost fat-free\n\nHow to Store:\nThe best place to store apples is in the refrigerator! Sliced or cut apples stay white longer if dropped in a bowl of water containing 2 tablespoons of lemon juice.\n\nThe elements involved in apple are implied above.\nHope this helps. If not, I'd be glad to assist you further. Bye!!\n\nrule wid style n luv@vinny

Another Gerrard , Lampard debate.\nLampard has very good tackels and has more physical strength than Gerrard, he has better positioning sometimes, Gerrard has better long passes, more determination, better free-kicks and more pace, i think they will both balance, they have some different styles and characteristics, so its really hard to tell whos is better, but personaly i like Gerrard more because he is palying in a more humble team that manage to get great results without spending huge funds of money, and is being a great inspiring captain to his team

Can pump shaft diameter and motor shaft diameter be different?Will this affect the dynamics of the pump?

You may need to change the foundation for the new motor to correct its height so that the pump and motor shaft centerlines are correct.  You will need a flexible coupling that accomodates different sized pump and motor shafts.  The speed and power rating of the new motor should be consistent with the needs of the pump.

What are your thoughts on Shays Rebellion. Do u think it resulted in the forming ofour US Constitution?Explain

Daniel Shays led a group of Massachusetts farmers in a revolt against the state government because they were being taxed and the local militia was not protecting them from the Indians onthe western frontier of Massachusetts.  Under the Articles of Confederation (the U.S. Constitution at the time [1785]) there was no power to tax--therefore no state militias could be provided.  With no military protection Shays and his followers were able to take over the state house unopposed.  When the rebellion was finally quelled several days later it showed massachusetts and other states that they HAD to have a stronger national constitution that allowed for the taxation of states to provide tax dollars to pay for military protection.  Therefore it was Shays's Rebellion that led DIRECTLY to the organization of the Constitutional Convention two years later in Philadelphia.

i want to know how can i determen my babies father without dna test?

Nevermind all the cruel responses you have received here.  I will be as informative as possible without judging you.\n\nIf the difference is between a black man and a white man, then the difference is shown at birth.  But this is probably not the case for you.\n\nThere are only two ways in court to prove paternity, one is when both people (mother and father) claim that the baby is theirs.  The other way is DNA.\n\nThe DNA test is expensive, and takes a while for the results.  \n\nIf the father is not available, then you will never know, and any allegation of paternity will not hold up in court.\n\nEven if you totally know who the father is, he can say "no it isn't", and you will be required to do DNA test to prove your allegation.\n\nSorry the answer you seek is not possible.  I hope good luck will come to you.


My step-father has thoracic aortic aneurysm that needs surgery....?

Thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) repair is becoming one of the most researched topics in Cardiovascular Surgery.  Depending on the extent of the TAA (that is where it starts and where it ends), the survival rate can vary.  Since you say back of the heart, the aneurysm is likely either in the Aortic Arch or even the Ascending Arch, which may be slightly more complex than one that starts in the Descending Arch.  \n\nThere are two major types of TAA repair, open resection and endovascular techniques.  Open resection is where they cut out (resect) the aneurysmal vessel walls, put in place a graft end-to-end to exactly replace the vessel that was taken out, and sew back together.  Clearly there are other intricacies, but this is the general idea.  Complications in the surgery arise when the aneurysm reaches areas where the aorta branches off (like at the carotids, or subclavian arteries) because it's not so simple to simply cut out bad tissue.  \n\nNewer techniques, however, are arising.  More and more major medical centers have expertise in endovascular techniques.  This technique is more suitable for people that cannot tolerate long surgeries, compromised lung function or excessive blood loss.  In endovascular surgery, there are two catheters put into the body, usually from the groin, but sometimes higher up in the body.  Then wires are passed through the aneurysm and stent grafts are deployed through these wire devices.  In total, this type of surgery is much less invasive, the time in the Intensive Care Unit and total time in the hospital are drastically reduced, survival is slightly better than open resection.  However there are some recent studies that show that endovascular techniques may not be as durable as open surgeries (that is, they perform well in the first few years, but later on are not as reliable).\n\nThe most critical period is the first 30 days, then the first year.  If health is strong and the graft is durable, your step-father has a very good chance at living as long a life as he should for his age.  The two major concerns in TAA repair is stroke (if the aneurysm is close to the carotid branch) and paraparesis/paralysis.  These are partial or complete paralysis in the lower limbs.  It has been shown - albeit with scarce data - that the rate of paraparesis/paralysis is higher in the open technique.  However, since this technique has been around for some time, it has been refined so that the paralysis rate is in the single digits at most appropriately trained medical centers.  Strokes also rarely occur, but could occur when blood flow to the brain has been compromised.  The rate is around 4-7%.  If the procedure is successful, the chances of survival are good.\n\nI would suggest finding a specialist that has done many TAA repairs in your area.  This could be a Cardiac Surgeon, a Thoracic Surgeon, or a Vascular Surgeon (this varies from hospital to hospital).  Having a informed and thorough conversation about what type of surgery is the best fit is also an important point prior to surgery.  Best of luck to your family and your step-father.

Pythagoreanism is a term used for the esoteric and metaphysical beliefs held by Pythagoras and his followers, the Pythagoreans, who were much influenced by mathematics and probably a main inspirational source for Plato and platonism.\n\nLater resurgence of ideas similiar to those held by the early Pythagoreans are collected under the term neopythagoreanism.\n\nPythagorean thought was dominated by mathematics, but it was also profoundly mystical. In the area of cosmology there is less agreement about what Pythagoras himself actually taught, but most scholars believe that the Pythagorean idea of the transmigration of the soul is too central to have been added by a later follower of Pythagoras. On the other hand it is impossible to determine the origin of the Pythagorean account of substance. It seems that the Pythagorean account begins with Anaximander's account of the ultimate substance of things as "the boundless," by Anaximander called the "apeiron." On the other hand, the Pythagorean account says that it is through the notion of the "limit" that the "boundless" takes form.\n\nPythagoras wrote nothing down, and relying on the writings of Parmenides, Empedocles, Philolaus and Plato (people either considered Pythagoreans, or whose works are thought deeply indebted to Pythagoreanism) results in a very diverse picture in which it is difficult to ascertain what the common unifying Pythagorean themes were. Relying on Philolaus, whom all scholars agree should be highly representative of the Pythagorean school, one has a very intricate picture. Aristotle explains how the Pythagoreans (by which he meant the circle around Philolaus) developed Anaximander's ideas about the apeiron and the peiron, the unlimited and limited, by writing that:\n\n"… for they [the Pythagoreans] plainly say that when the one had been constructed, whether out of planes or of surface or of seed or of elements which they cannot express, immediately the nearest part of the unlimited began to be drawn in and limited by the limit."\n\nContinuing with:\n\n"The Pythagoreans, too, held that void exists, and that it enters the heaven from the unlimited breath – it, so to speak, breathes in void. The void distinguishes the natures of things, since it is the thing that separates and distinguishes the successive terms in a series. This happens in the first case of numbers; for the void distinguishes their nature."\n\nWhen the apeiron is inhaled by the perion it causes separation, which also apparently means that it "separates and distinguishes the successive terms in a series." Instead of an undiffrentiated whole we have a living whole of inter-connected parts separated by "void" between them. This inhalation of the apeiron is also what makes the world mathematical, not just possible to describe using math, but truly mathematical since it shows numbers and reality to be upheld by the same principle: both the continuum of numbers (that is yet a series of successive terms, separated by void) and the field of reality, the cosmos - both are a play of emptiness and form, apeiron and peiron. What really sets this apart from Anaximander's original ideas is that this play of apeiron and peiron must take place according to harmonia (harmony), about which Stobaeus commentated:\n\n"About nature and harmony this is the position. The being of the objects, being eternal, and nature itself admit of divine, not human, knowledge – except that it was not possible for any of the things that exist and are known by us to have come into being, without there existing the being of those things from which the universe was composed, the limited and the unlimited. And since these principles existed being neither alike nor of the same kind, it would have been impossible for them to be ordered into a universe if harmony had not supervened – in whatever manner this came into being. Things that were


Plumbing\nThe primary goal of sex is to merge the sperm and egg (fertilization) to make a baby. In many organisms, sex occurs outside of the body. For example, in most fish or amphibians, females lay eggs somewhere (usually on the sea/river bed), the male comes along and sprays the eggs with sperm and fertilization takes place.\n\nIn reptiles and mammals (including humans), fertilization takes place inside the body of the female (internal fertilization). This technique increases the chances of successful sexual reproduction. Because we use internal fertilization, our sexual organs are specialized for this purpose. Let's take a closer look at the sexual organs in males and females.\n\n\nCome Together\nWhen a man and a woman engage in sexual activity, each goes through an arousal phase. In both the man and the woman, nerve impulses from the brain cause their heart rates to increase and dilate peripheral blood vessels. They feel warm, and they begin to sweat. The Cowper's glands in the man and the vestibular glands in the woman secrete fluid that lubricates the man's urethra and the woman's labial area and vagina.\n\nThe man's brain sends nerve impulses to the blood vessels in his penis and tells the arterioles to dilate and the venules to constrict. The blood flow engorges the spongy tissue of his penis, causing it to become erect. As the couple engages in intercourse, the man inserts his erect penis into the woman's vagina. As intercourse continues, the man reaches a point at which muscle contractions in the epididymis, prostate and seminal vesicles propel semen from the penis into the woman's vagina (ejaculation) at the base of the uterine cervix. Muscle contractions in the woman's body periodically dip her cervix into the semen.\n\nOnce the semen is deposited at the base of the uterus, the sperm begin a long journey to fertilization


How can figure skaters do so many spins at such a high speed without getting dizzy and falling down?

If you are a new home owner can you still get  a line of credit  with no Equ?

Yes, you can.  Some lenders will actually lend up to 125% of the value of your home in first or second mortgages.  Keep in mind that the interest rates on these types of loans will likely be much higher than standard equity loans because of the increased risk to the lenders.  Generally, these lenders are not banks but finance companies.  Personally, I would wait until your house appreciates in value and/or you pay down your first mortgage OR get a non-equitized line of credit through your bank or credit card company.  MBNA and Capital One have accounts like these at reasonable rates.


why are peopl now adays crazy about sex?

These days with technology being so advanced instant communication, instant food, video games, internet, sexually explicit commercial and sitcoms and the influence television programing like reality T.V, which ironically is so far from reality but tons of fun to watch has and people addicted to the instant gratification era. But if you look back in time people have always been crazy about sex they just weren't as honest or open about it. :)

Which building preceeded Elis Island as the citys immigration center?

The National Park Service (which runs the sites now) says\n"Prior to 1890, the individual states (rather than the Federal government) regulated immigration into the United States. CASTLE GARDEN in the Battery (originally known as CASTLE CLINTON) served as the New York State immigration station from 1855 to 1890 and approximately eight million immigrants, mostly from Northern and Western Europe, passed through its doors. These early immigrants came from nations such as England, Ireland, Germany and the Scandinavian countries and constituted the first large wave of immigrants that settled and populated the United States. Throughout the 1800's and intensifying in the latter half of the 19th century, ensuing political instability, restrictive religious laws and deteriorating economic conditions in Europe began to fuel the largest mass human migration in the history of the world. It soon became apparent that Castle Garden was ill-equipped and unprepared to handle the growing numbers of immigrants arriving yearly. Unfortunately compounding the problems of the small facility were the corruption and incompetence found to be commonplace at Castle Garden. The Federal government intervened and constructed a new Federally-operated immigration station on Ellis Island. While the new immigration station on Ellis Island was under construction, the Barge Office at the Battery was used for the processing of immigrants."

Volcanic soil is rich in minerals and, if there is enough rain, can be rich farmland.  Volcanoes created the Hawaiian Islands, so they produce real estate.  Volcanic rocks include pumice, used as an abrasive for swimming pools hand soap, and pre-weathered jeans, and obsidian, used by early humans to make sharp stone tools.  Also zeolites, used for a wide variety of things (see sources).  Some volcanic rocks are broken into pieces and used as a decorative groundcover in landscaping. Eroding volcanoes can produce sand, which has many uses.

how a foreigner get his certificate to be recoganized in Ministry of Education in USA?

Our system is different than the nationalized system utilized in many nations around the world. Our national Dept. of Education actually has little power. The individual states' Dept. of Education regulate qualifications for teachers. So one person who is qualified in New York may not qualify in California. You need to contact the State Dept. of Education in the state you live in (are moving to) or the local school system you are interested in.

What besides the big bang are scientific models of the creation of the universe?

One could make a very very long list, if one was so inclined. Just to give you an idea, here are a very few to get you started:\n\n1. Steady state model\n2. Quasi-steady state model\n3. Lambda-Cold Dark Model\n4. Cosmic Inflation\n5. Cyclic models\n6. Ekpyrotic universe models\n7. Ambiplasma hypothesis\n8. Mixmaster hypothesis\n9. Chronometric cosmology\n10. Dimensionally-extended Static Cosmology\n11. Antimatter cosmologies\n\nand so on. If you look into this a tiny bit, I am sure you will find dozens and dozens of alternative scientific models, maybe even many hundreds, or even more.\n\n- - - - - - - - - - \n\nAddendum for uoflfan732 and other fans of intelligent design:\n\nIntelligent design is NOT a scientific model for the creation of the universe. Science deals with natural causes and natural processes, not supernatural causes and supernatural processes. Therefore, intelligent design is excluded from the list of scientific models for the creation of the universe.\n\nNow it might be that eventually one will reach the conclusion that science has failed to explain something by natural causes, and the only recourse is to postulate supernatural causes. At that point, intelligent design or something like it might be considered. However, until it can pass the standards for science like:\n\n1. publication in peer-reviewed journals\n2. able to make verifiable predictions\n3. falsifiable tests\n4. able to gain acceptance among a preponderance of experts in the field\n5. able to explain phenomena better than competing theories\n\nand so on, intelligent design will remain in the realm of pseudoscience. \n\nThe definition of science which would include intelligent design is so vague and loose, that one of its supporters admitted in court that it would include astrology as science. That is, to call intelligent design a science we would have to bend the rules so much that astrology would also be a science.


Why is the huge area across central Africa designated wastedland?

Adverse climate changes has caused the area to undergo a rapid desertification whereby in the past the area was one of the most fertile lands supporting ancient civilizations. Now it is mostly barren and intensive cultivation and deforestation has caused infertile conditions and rapid creeping of deserts into fertile lands. Thus very little life can be supported there and drought conditions is evident most of the year, only very hardy desert animals and plants can withstand conditions there. The area is also one of the least populated areas in the world.


Why do blacks call themselves African Americans?

This is just a political correct term that is not really based in reality.


Ash Wednesday, the day Lent begins, is actually placed 40 days before Easter Sunday, not counting Sundays. The reason Sundays are not counted is Sunday is the day the church celebrates the resurrection of Christ.


God loves us and wants us to be happy and full of joy.\nSex involves much more than exercising our genitals.\nIt also involves our emotions. Just look around at all the sadness and heart ache that people suffer when a sexual relationship ends. God wants to spare us that pain so he gave us guidelines to follow. If we follow His advice we will have less sadness and more joy in our lifetime.

It really shouldn't hurt during the procedure if you have a good dentist that is gentle.  Also the root canal shouldn't be performed if it is considered a "hot tooth" meaning one that is infected.  A tooth that is "hot" is extremely and almost impossible to get numb.  That is why a dentist will prescribe you an antibiotic to take and advise you to come back in a week for either a root canal or an extraction.  It's so that the antibiotic will take care of the infection and the numbing will occur.


The Social market economy was the German and Austrian economic model during the Cold War era. Known as Soziale Marktwirtschaft in German, it is not to be confused with the socialist market economy - the economic model of the People's Republic of China.\n\nUnder Christian Democrat Konrad Adenauer's chancellorship of West Germany (1949-1963), Ludwig Erhard, the economics minister who would later become chancellor, worked towards implementing the social market model. Its aim was to maintain a balance between a high rate of economic growth, low inflation, low levels of unemployment, good working conditions, public welfare and public services by using state intervention.\n\nFrom the 1960s, the social market economy was the main economic model in mainland Western Europe, pursued by administrations of both the centre right (usually led by Christian Democratic parties) and the centre left (usually led by Labour, Social Democrat or Socialist parties).\n\nSouthern European states, especially Italy, preferred large-scale public services, high salary growth rates and a low unemployment rate over low inflation, low national debt, low public expenditure and other economic health policies. This Services State (Italian Stato Assistenziale, now derogatory) version of the social market is generally considered less successful than the more thrifty Northern European models.\n\nFollowing the fall of the Berlin Wall in 9 November 1989, centre right parties gradually espoused neo-liberal economic policies while centre left parties developed the more free-market based Third Way. Nevertheless, a commitment to some form of social market economy was present in the European Union Constitution (now in limbo following the referenda in France and the Netherlands).


Do you belive that death is the end of the road or is there something more beyond it?

The Bible clearly teaches a life beyond this world.  For example in Luke 16 Jesus tells the story of the rich man and Lazarus.  The rich man being an unbeliever goes to Hell, where as the poor man Lazarus goes to paradise.  The Bible also talks of a New Heaven and a New Earth which will come into existence after Jesus returns in glory one day (Revelation 21).  Jesus died for sinners, bearing their guilt (1 Peter 2:24) and all who believe and trust in Him will have eternal life (John 3:16).\n\nJesus said:\n\n"I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; 26and whoever lives and believes in me will never die" (John 11:25-26)

Is it true that kirlian photos can show the aura inside an Idol?

Kirlian photographs don't show auras anywhere at any time in any thing. All that Kirlian photographs show is the dispersal pattern of water molecules ionised by an electric field.  No aura of any sort is produced.\n\nIf you are asking if you can produce a Kirlian photograph of an idol then the answer is yes, provided the idol is moist and not in a vacuum. You can produce a Kirlian photograph of anything if it is moist and not in a vacuum. You can produce a Kirlian photograph of a garden gnome provided you wet it with the hose first. In fact you can produce a Kirlian photograph of  the garden hose itself.\n\nKirlian photographs are a hoax, a fraud, a scam for the gullible. Unless you want to suggest that garden gnomes and garden hoses also have 'auras' that much is obvious.

Is it "age discrimination" that my son gets charged at an adult rate even though he's only 16?

Yes, it is. I've always been bothered by pricing based on age. Take movies, for example. A seat is a f****** seat ! Why should people between the ages of 12 and 64 pay more for the same seat ?  And what the hell is a "senior discount" about ? I hear the same old old excuse that seniors are on "fixed income".  What does *that* mean ? Aren't we *all* on "fixed income" ? My income doesn't vary. In fact, younger people probably have more expenses than older people, with the exception of prescription drugs.\n\nAnd what is this "kids eat free" b.s. ? Why can't I eat free ? I mean, Geez, the kids aren't paying for anything. Let me eat every 5th meal free and I guarantee I'll come back to your restaurant.\n\n:-)\n\np.s. for those who misunderstood the question, Jr. isn't in jail. He was "charged" an adult *rate*, not charged with a crime.


Since my ex husband is in jail, will I recieve child support when my son is born?

In "Jail" probably not, child support will very likely accrue if a support order is in place but if he has no income, he can't pay it...in Prison, in many states, if he has a job inside, his wages will be garnished for child support, and any fines or restitution he owes.\nFor the details in your jurisdiction contact the County District Attorney's Child Support Enforcement Division.

Do you think that a High Speed Train system would be more efficient that Amtrak?

High Speed Rail (HSR) systems are very efficient when their networks are purpose-built to accommodate the most advanced trainsets available today.  Europe and Asia are at the forefront of HSR systems and technology.  HSR trains are both fuel efficient and cost effective, and have the ability to move more people - often faster - between city pairs than airplanes.  Most HSR systems in Europe and Asia can attain speeds of up to 186 mph, and the ride quality is second to none.\n\nThe fastest train operated in the U.S. is Amtrak's Acela Express, which operates between Boston, MA, and Washington, D.C.  It has a top speed of 150 mph. and has the ability to tilt when travelling though curves.  This tilting allows the train to take curves at higher speeds than conventional trains.\n\nIn order for the U.S. to have true high speed train service, we must have buy-in from the cities and communities who stand to benefit from its services.  And - perhaps more importantly - we must lobby congress to advocate and fund high-speed rail initiatives.  In 2002, the U.S. Department of Transportation allocated over $32 billion dollars to fund highways, and $14 billion to fund aviation and airports.  In that same year, less than $600 million was allocated to Amtrak.  How can we expect to operate a world-class national passenger rail network that attracts ridership with that level of funding?  On the flip side, with all the aviation funding, why are there still many large airlines filing for bankrupcy?  Also, with all the highway funding, why is there still so much gridlock on our nation's highways?\n\nHigh-speed rail is cost-effective in limited markets, where population density and passenger travel patterns spur ridership.  The vision for high-speed rail in the U.S. is not to replace Amtrak, but rather, to compliment it.\n\nIf you'd like to learn more, there are many on-line resources available to aid you in your research.

Can you explain how DNA controls the cell, using an analogy?

DNA is a communist government controlling all aspects of metabolic economy within the independent cellular nation.  Proteins are the labor force it uses, whereas enzymes are the tools or capital goods used to produce goods used to stimulate or restrict economic/metabolic growth of certain areas (proteins being the labor force because DNA is also protein, and the government of communism is composed of people who labor in the field of politics).  One might consider politicians to be offering a service as opposed to laborers who produce goods, i.e. the term public service; however, communist governments do not perceive themselves to be separate from the labor class, but rather as representatives of said class.


More serious symptoms\nAlzheimer's disease and other types of dementia cause a gradual decline in mental function. Eventually the decline becomes severe enough to interfere with daily activities and social relationships. \nMany of the early symptoms of Alzheimer's disease are similar to the memory loss that occurs with normal aging, such as forgetting something you said earlier in the day. \n\nMore troubling symptoms may include: \n\nforgetting information you've just learned \ndifficulty remembering the names of familiar objects \nworsening confusion \nchanges in behavior and personality \na gradual inability to perform basic tasks \nOf course, even symptoms characteristic of Alzheimer's disease may have other causes, such as a prescription medication. As you get older, your ability to metabolize medication changes. The dosage of a medication that was prescribed even a year ago may no longer be appropriate, resulting in symptoms such as confusion. \n\n\nReaching a diagnosis\nIf memory lapses or related symptoms begin to interfere with your daily life, consult your doctor. Often, input from loved ones and other close contacts can help the doctor determine the severity of your memory loss and other symptoms. \nDiagnosing Alzheimer's disease can be stressful and time-consuming for both patients and their families. Proper diagnosis is the key to treatment and planning, however. And the sooner the better. Treatment is most effective when it begins in the early stages of the disease.

when a person takes their HOLY CAMMUNION what is that all about and alsoto be confirmened?

OK, now I'll give you the Catholic viewpoint on these two events.  As to Holy Communion, it is the time when Catholics (who haven't committed any serious sin without going to Confession and having completed the requirements necessary for a good Confession) and members of any of the schismatic churches (Eastern Orthodox [Autocephalous and otherwise], Polish National Catholic Churh, Society of St. Pius X [and Pius V]) receive bread (and maybe the wine too) that has been consecrated by the priest during Mass.  This bread and wine is believed to be substantially the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ.  Only a priest ordained by a bishop in one of the aforementioned Churches (he must also use the proper form, i.e. "Take, eat, this is my body which will be given up for you" and "Take, drink, this the cup of my blood, the blood of the new and everlasting covenant, it will be shed for you and for all so that sins may be forgiven, Do this in memory of me") is believed to have the power to conduct the transubstantiation that makes the Body and Blood of Christ substantially present.  Anyways, the meaning of Holy Communion for Catholics is basically eating of Christ's flesh and drinking of His blood as is commanded in John 6:53-7.\nConfirmation, for Catholics happens sometimes at birth and sometimes at around the time of 8th or 9th grade, or immediately after Baptism for adults.  Unlike Baptism, Catholics do not acknowledge the Conirmations of Protestant churches.  In the Catholic mindset, Confirmation is sort of like a personal Pentecost.  In this sacrament, the bishop (or a priest in EXTRAORDINARY circumstances in the lAtin Rite, or most of the time a priest in the Eastern Rites) anoints the "confirmandee" with chrism (a perfumed oil" and says "[Confirmation Name] be sealed with the Holy Spirit."  The confirmation name is the name of a saint the confirmandee takes to be his/her special patron saint.  In olden times the confirmation name often became that person's middle name.  The confirmation name, tradition, though, is really only upheld in the West, where teenage confirmation is the norm.  In the Eastern Rites, though, Confirmation takes place immediately after baptism even for infants.  This Confirmation has the same character of sealing the Confirmandee with the Holy Spirit, though.  Confirmation really is like a sending forth and is considered a "sacrament of initiation" by the Catholic church whereby the confirmandee becomes a full member of the Catholic Church.  Oh, and in the West, as well, the confirmandee must have a confirmation sponsor which is pretty much like godparent and is supposed to instruct the confirmandee in the Faith.  Hope this si what you wanted.

where can i work in my area if im 15 years old?

In CA, you need a worker's permit with consent from your parents if you are under 16. There are restrictions with the worker's permit, like how many hours you can work a day and per week, how late you can work. Many managers/companies don't want to deal with an employee who's work schedule is not flexible. Most likely, you won't be hired by anyone. Wait until your 16 years old or find a family friend who needs some light office work done or babysit.
