A viscous damper opposes motion with a force proportional to speed, thus dissipating mechanical energy. This contrasts with a spring, which opposes displacement with a force proportional to deflection and stores the energy required to deflect it, returning the energy to the vibrating system as it returns to the undeflected state. Viscous energy dissipation reduces the amplitude of a vibration.


what percenage of non vertebra animals make up the animal kingdom?

The exact figure varies depending on how it is claculated, but between 95 and 99.9% of all animal species are invertebrates.


what celluar function is negatively impacted by an increase in cell size?

Since a cell's volume increases significantly more than its surface area as it enlarges, the membrane cannot supply all the requirements of the cytoplasm past a certain point.  This is why cell size is generally limited.  So the function you are referring to is diffusion, the movement of material into/out of the cytoplasm.

If TNA wrestling invaded WWE who would win, and how would vince handle it??

Ok guys, wat kind of question is this? WWE will demolish TNA. WWE has the heart of wrestling in them. Alot of people says that WWE do more talkin than fightin and TNA do more fightin than talkin. To the people that said "F*** YOU!!!" cuz i see both shows and TNA do more talkin and WWE do more fightin. All TNA has is a 1 hours window on SPike TV and they use by talkin and when it gets good, guess wat it finish. In the WWE, they give the fans wat they wanna see. It doesnt matter bout the money in the WWE, wrestlers will still put themselves on the line to give the fans a show. TNA, you can actually see the fakeness in it. I watch the show and the only time its good is when AJ Stylez is in the ring but other than that nothin. TNA did invade WWE once before. At the 2005 Royal Rumble Commercial. The next day WWE invaded TNA, and why you think TNA havent done anythin else after that? Cuz WWE kicked the livin s*** outta TNA and its true cuz a fan recorded it all happenin at a TNA show and showed thanks to Lime Wire. SO you see, WWE is better than TNA, WWE has the heart of wrestling and thats how they lasted so long.

What are the most common first names for a man or woman?

The popularity (frequency) distribution of given names typically follows a power law distribution. This frequency distribution commonly occurs among collections of symbols instantiated and used in a similar way, for example newspapers ranked by circulation, movies ranked by box office receipts, Internet web sites ranked by visits.\n\nSince about 1800 in England and Wales and in the U.S., the popularity distribution of given names has been shifting so that the most popular names are losing popularity. For example, in England and Wales, the most popular female and male names given to babies born in 1800 were Mary and John, with 24% of female babies and 22% of male babies receiving those names, respectively.[1] In contrast, the corresponding statistics for in England and Wales in 1994 were Emily and James, with 3% and 4% of names, respectively. Better understanding this change might provide insights into symbolic economics increasingly important with the rapid development of information and communication technologies.\n\nUK and Wales 2005: Jack and Jessica \nAustria 2003: Lukas and Sarah\nChile all time: José and María\nCzeck Republic 2005: Jan and Tereza\nDenmark 2004: Mathias and Emma\nFinland 2005: Juhani (John) and Maria (Mary) \nFrance 2001: Thomas and Léa \nGermany 2004: Alexander and Marie \nIreland 2003: Sean and Emma \nJapan 2002: Shun and Misaki \nNetherlands 2005: Daan and Sanne \nScotland 2004: Lewis and Emma \nSpain (Spanish speaking regions) 2005: Alejandro and Lucía \nSpain (Basque country) 2005: Iker and Ana \nSpain (Catalonia) 2005: Marc Paula \n\nEvery year, the US Social Security's Office of the Chief Actuary publishes a list of the most popular names given at birth for males and females in the US website.\nThere are lists of popular names by year from 1880 through 2004.\nIn 1880, they were John and Mary. In 2004, Jacob and Emily.

<The 24-hour clock is a convention of time-keeping in which the day runs from midnight to midnight and is divided into 24 hours, numbered from 0 to 23 (and 24 in the day-ending midnight). This system is the most commonly used time notation in the world of today. The United States is the only industrialized country left in which a substantial fraction of the population is not yet accustomed to it. The 24-hour notation is in the US and Canada also referred to as military time, and (now only rarely) in the United Kingdom as continental time. It is also the international standard notation of time (ISO 8601).\n\n<Description\nA time in the 24-hour notation is written in the form hours:minutes (for example, 01:23), or hours:minutes:seconds (01:23:45). A leading zero is added for numbers under 10. This zero is optional for the hours, but very commonly used, especially in computer applications, where many specifications require it (for example, ISO 8601). Where subsecond resolution is required, the seconds can be a decimal fraction, that is the fractional part follows a decimal dot or comma, as in 01:23:45.678. In the 24-hour time notation, the day begins at midnight, 00:00, and the last minute of the day is that beginning at 23:59 and ending at 24:00. The time 24:00 of the current day is identical to 00:00 of the following day. Digital clocks run from 00:00 to 23:59, that is they never show 24:00 on their display. This way, the roll-over from 23:59:59.999 to 00:00:00.000 coincides with the start of a new day and date. However, the notation 24:00 is useful for referring to the exact end of a day in a time interval.\n\n24-hour clock 12-hour clock \n00:00 12:00 midnight \n01:00 1:00 am \n02:00 2:00 am \n03:00 3:00 am \n04:00 4:00 am \n05:00 5:00 am \n06:00 6:00 am \n07:00 7:00 am \n08:00 8:00 am \n09:00 9:00 am \n10:00 10:00 am \n11:00 11:00 am \n12:00 12:00 noon \n13:00 1:00 pm \n14:00 2:00 pm \n15:00 3:00 pm \n16:00 4:00 pm \n17:00 5:00 pm \n18:00 6:00 pm \n19:00 7:00 pm \n20:00 8:00 pm \n21:00 9:00 pm \n22:00 10:00 pm \n23:00 11:00 pm \n24:00 12:00 midnight

The strong smell indicates that the hardware of the monitor is having trouble with electric power or video signals sent to it.You have to repair it or replace it because serious effects might happen.The monitors' wires and components may burn or maybe the electrical circuit in your house  turn off suddenly because a single disturbed part in an electrical circuit can affect the whooole circuit as well.


Is there a computer program to control time limits for children?

This program is great for blocking sites that you don't want your children to see. You can put a seperate identity for each family member (if you have kids with different ages) AND you CAN put time limits on when they can use the internet. It does cost money, but it is well worth it.  It's called Content Protect. Here's the site:\n\n http://www.hermanstreet.com/store/index.html

whats the best motorcycle school in the U.S. ?

Most dealers that you talk to will say that they prefer graduates of MMI (Motorcycle Mechanics Institute) in Orlando, FL or Pheonix, AZ. AMI(American Motorcycle Institute) in Daytona, FL is also highly recommended. Some community colleges have programs that are approved by some manufactures, but you have to be aware that some dealers will only hire graduates for MMI or AMI.


Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is electromagnetic radiation of a wavelength shorter than that of the visible region, but longer than that of soft X-rays. It can be subdivided into near UV (380–200 nm wavelength), far or vacuum UV (200–10 nm; abbrev. FUV or VUV), and extreme UV (1–31 nm; abbrev. EUV or XUV).\n\nWhen considering the effect of UV radiation on human health and the environment, the range of UV wavelengths is often subdivided into UVA (380–315 nm), also called Long Wave or "blacklight"; UVB (315–280 nm), also called Medium Wave; and UVC (< 280 nm), also called Short Wave or "germicidal". See 1 E-7 m for a list of objects of comparable sizes.\n\nIn photolithography, in laser technology, etc., the term deep ultraviolet or DUV refers to wavelengths below 300nm.\n\nThe name means "beyond violet" (from Latin ultra, "beyond"), violet being the color of the shortest wavelengths of visible light. Some of the UV wavelengths are colloquially called black light, as it is invisible to the human eye. Some animals, including birds, reptiles, and insects such as bees, can see into the near ultraviolet. Many fruits, flowers, and seeds stand out more strongly from the background in ultraviolet wavelengths as compared to human color vision. Many birds have patterns in their plumage that are invisible at usual wavelengths but seen in ultraviolet, and the urine of some animals is much easier to spot with ultraviolet.\n\nThe Sun emits ultraviolet radiation in the UVA, UVB, and UVC bands, but because of absorption in the atmosphere's ozone layer, 99% of the ultraviolet radiation that reaches the Earth's surface is UVA. (Some of the UVC light is responsible for the generation of the ozone.)\n\nFor additional information, click link below:

i want to know if since my car accident all i think about is sex, is that bad on my part?

You sound normal to me.  I think that maybe the car accident has perhaps made you see things a bit differently about your love life.  The only way I can see thinking about sex all the time is if you were really dishonest with yourself and your partner about it.  I mean, if you want different partners and all, tell the one you're with that you're not looking to get involved.  And being honest with yourself about your intent will keep you from making sex something that it isn't and more about what it is.

Do you know any vollyball facts that is fun and easy to read?

I don't know how fun this is to read, but Volleyball, depending on the type Beach or indoor is fun to play no matter what! \nFor Beach a team consists of 2 players, while in indoor it consists of six. \n\nI kno the rules for indoor a lot better considering I'm a player. Well the rules are pretty complicated as you get into it but the players rotate each time their team receives a new possession of the serve. There are three main types of serves, underhand, overhand and jump, with underhand being the easiest to learn. There are a series of moves. First there is the pass or the bump. Then there is the set and then there is the hit, attack or the spike. As you get into the sport more there are blocks, digs, pancakes and a lot of other technniques to keep the ball in play.

As you can see from the answers you have about 3 levels to choose from.  This is the fun part about normal blood sugars.  It all depends...\n\nHow long have you eaten?  What have you eaten?  What type of activity have you done?  Any stress?  All of these effect your blood sugar level.  The glycemic index of food also plays a part.\n\nTake a normal day.  You could eat an apple, apple sauce, or a apple juice.  Each of these items, even with the same caloric value will change your blood sugar differently.  The apple will raise your blood sugar over about two hours with a moderate elevation, the apple sauce will raise your blood sugar over about an hour with a slightly sharper increase, and the apple juice will spike your blood suger in approximately 15 minutes.  This has to do with the glycemic index of each item.. The best way to think about this is if the food is easy to digest your body will convert it to sugar quickly.\n\nStress, such as an automobile accident, can cause your body to produce adrenaline(sp?) which in turn will cause your liver to release glycogen so your body can handle the fight or flight response.  This will cause a blood sugar spike.\n\nAll in all with no outside factors you blood sugar should be targeted to be kept in the 70 to 120 range.  After a meal your blood sugar should return to under 120 by an hour. Longer then this and you can run into problems.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: The McLaren F1 has proven to be the most exotic, reliable, fast, exhilarating supercar in the world. Of course, there is the Veyron, the Koenigsegg, Spyker and all of those things, but none has the mystique of the McLaren F1. The facts back me up as well: it has maintained the status of being the fastest production (not modified at all) roadgoing sportscar in the world for 13 yars now (371 kmh). Remember, unmodified. Because some people could say that, well, the Veyron or the Koenigsegg is faster, but they've all had minor modifications made prior to testing. In my opinion and in lots of car journalists' opinions the "marriage" between The BMW v12 engine and the overall design and engineering work of McLaren's Gordon Murray is the incarnation of perfection in the automotive world.

The best start is to pick someone you don't know that well. Let your wife set the rules, so that she's comfortable and stick to them. As to your relationship, it will change. You are sharing something that is supposed to ba an intimate expression of your love for each other. Inviting someone else in will change it. No one can predict how your feelings will change. That is why you must think carefully as a couple: should this stay a fantasy? If you are happy with the risks, as a couple, then go for it. But no recriminations if things go badly.


Alcohol gel (anti-bacterial gel) or small can of Lysol spray used on the seat, use paper (clean it up, as well, don't make it worse for the rest of us), use the gel on your hands after you wash them and have left.  Use a paper to open the door (some people don't wash their hands).  Use paper to turn on and off the sink.  Roll out some paper before you wash your hands so you don't have to handle the paper dispenser after washing your hands.\n\nSeem extreme?  Not when you've taken first aid from a microbiologist!  Scary stuff.  At the same time, I have a newborn daughter who has virutally no immune system (being new and all).  For her, I take EVERY precaution.

how does limestone and granite mechanically weather differently?

I think there is some over-generalizing going on here. \n\nThe short answer: Granite is going to be more susceptible where its crystalline grain structure can be attacked by mechanical weathering. Limestone is going to be more susceptible where its softness is a disadvantage to mechanical weathering. For many types of mechanical weathering there is going to be little difference. \n\nHave you ever been to Yosemite? Half Dome, in the famous photographs by Ansel Adams is a perfect example of exfoliation of granite in sheets. This is a mechanical weathering process related to pressure release. Granite might be more susceptible to this (I am speculating) but only because it is often being unburied from much greater depths. Jointing in limestone is often related to pressure release. \n\nTo answer this question properly you need to consider the different types of mechanical weathering. I will compare the ones I can think of.\n1. Exfoliation caused by pressure release:  From my own field observations in areas where glacial unloading has occurred I would say that this affects both granite and limestone in a similar manner. Both will break off in sheets or blocks. \n\n2. Exfoliation is caused by temperature change: I have no quantitative proof but my opinion based on observation is that limestone is less susceptible to this because it is held together by cement and internal porosity probably has some ability to absorb differential expansion. Granite on the other hand is composed of crystalline grains that have different expansion rates and are likely to split apart. \n\n3. Freeze-thaw: Limestone does have bedding planes, and often has jointing as well, that is susceptible to this.  Some limestone has open porosity that also will be subject to some freeze expansion. Probably limestone is more vulnerable to this. Granite is going to be slightly susceptible to this only to the extent that water can penetrate it or to the extent it has been jointed or weakened by exfoliation. \n\n\n4.  Abrasion: Wind erosion affects both limestone and granite. Limestone is softer so windblown sand grains are more likely to erode the limestone. \n\n5. Salt-crystal growth: This is very common in coastal settings and sometimes in desert settings where moisture in the air is likely to contain some salts. Many of these salts will expand as the moisture that carried them evaporates. Heat will also cause them to expand.  I would say that granite is again more susceptible because of its crystalline grain structure. However, there is a special situation for limestone that few people who have never been in a cave have ever observed. Limestone often contains small deposits of anhydrite within the limestone. Anhydrite is unstable under surface pressures and tends to absorb water becoming gypsum. It expands as it does this and causes the limestone to break, often in sheets, but sometimes in blocks.  In many caves this is a primary cause of ceiling collapse and it can even result in stoping (raising the ceiling of the cave upward). \n\n6. Trees, plants: I doubt that there is any difference here. Some granite might provide more nutrients from chemical weathering to plants than limestone does, and so encourage its own destruction by plant roots, but both rocks are going to be susceptible. \n\n7. Tectonic and regional jointing: Tectonic events can cause fracturing in both types of rock. Limestone might be more flexible and be less susceptible to fracturing from mild folding. Regional jointing is related to pressure release and depends more on the burial and unroofing history than the type of rock. I don’t think either one is going to be more or less susceptible in most situations. Limestone often exhibits joints that can be traced for tens of miles that are related to regional stress regimes (both shear and extensional) and I believe that granite will produce similar joints.  You might be surprised to learn that the shear strength of granite and limestone are very similar

The president of the United States is elected by the electoral college. What type of system is this?

"An electoral college is a set of electors who are empowered as a deliberative body to elect someone to a particular office. Often these electors represent a different organization or entity with each organization or entity represented by a particular number of electors or with votes weighted in a particular way. Many times, though, the electors are simply important persons whose wisdom, it is hoped, would provide a better choice than a larger body."

The immune system is the system of specialized cells and organs that protect an organism from outside biological influences. (Though in a broad sense, almost every organ has a protective function - for example, the tight seal of the skin or the acidic environment of the stomach.) When the immune system is functioning properly, it protects the body against bacteria and viral infections, destroying cancer cells and foreign substances. If the immune system weakens, its ability to defend the body also weakens, allowing pathogens, including viruses that cause common colds and flu, to grow and flourish in the body. The immune system also performs surveillance of tumor cells, and immune suppression has been reported to increase the risk of certain types of cancer.

It's important because it pays respect to the millions that died fighting for our rights. When our ancestors came over here they was robbed of everything, there language,nationality,religion,culture,idenity, and there way of life to be replaced with that of slaves. Millions were kill just trying to keep this, while millions more died just in slave ships. Just think what it was like being chained up force to walk hundreds of miles to the coast, stripped naked, put on a ship pack with a bunch of sick people, dark, and flowing with all kinds of dieases for three months.  After that they were separated from there families, then sold as slaves. Next they were work from sun up to well after sun down for the slightest mistake 40 lashes. With all of this they where still singing and was joyest people so what better way to pay respect than to remember and celebrate all that they did. Most whites don't understand taking away black history will make their stuggles go in vain.

Which MLB stadiums are considered hitters parks?

espn.com has a link that provides park factors for each season from 2001 to 2005. This is an objective measure and can be broken down by runs, hits, 2b, 3b, HRs or bbs.\n\nPark Factor compares the rate of stats at home vs. the rate of stats on the road.\nA rate higher than 1.000 favors the hitter. Below 1.000 favors the pitcher.\nPF = ((homeRS + homeRA)/(homeG)) / ((roadRS + roadRA)/(roadG))\n\nFor the 2005 season the top 5 hitter ballparks for runs were:\n\n1. Coors field (Rockies)       1.285\n2. Citizens Bank (Phillies)    1.161\n3. Great American (Reds)       1.128\n4. Turner Field(Braves)        1.095\n5. Bank one Ballpark (d-backs) 1.078 \n\nThe worst ballpark for runs was Petco in SD with a factor of 0.803

well...if you are under Windows-XP MS-DOS, then there is a feature that I think Microsoft got it's idea from Linux (as they were the first to use it), which is simply you type the first letter(s) and hit the tab button and let DOS complete the filename.extension for you...\n\nPS: If you have more than one file/folder starting with the letter, then type mor than 1 letter for filteration purposes to speed up the process of getting the desired file/folder name...\n\nPPS: You can hit the tab button to scroll through all the files/folders that have the same letter you typed...\n\n\nIf its not clear, run MS-Dos in Windows XP and try it our for yourself...\n\nHope that helps...

90% sure the answer is no.  The PCIX1 slot is about an inch long, where the card's key looks to be about 2-1/2 inches long.  There are 32-bit and 64-bit PCI slots, and this card is for a 64-bit slot.  It might be 32-bit backwards compatible though.

Is term life insurance the best value for the money?

Generally, Yes.\n\nWhole life is essentially a combination of Life Insurance and an Investment plan in one package. The rates of return ( due to higher costs) are usually lower than a similar investment without the insurance. So you could very likely get separate term insurance and a separate investment and do better.\n\nOne exception is the case where you do not meet the health requirements for the best term policies. The underwriting guidelines may be looser for the whole life policies. Some companies may also offer a plan where you start at one rating and are automatically upgrated to a better rate after some period of time (i.e. 2 years)

what is the difference between a programmer analyst and a junior software engineer? And which one is better??

In theory, an Analyst talks to users to determine their requirements.  A programmer writes code to implement the requirements.  So, a Programmer Analyst does both.\n\nThe Software Engineer follows a disciplined engineering process to create software.  The Software Engineer may develop "Use Cases" to document the requirements or that may be the job of the System Engineer.  \n\nThere is a sense that Software Engineers develop technical applications and Programmer Analysts develop business applications.  In practice, as the other posters have noted, actual job responsibilities for either could be all over the map and there is considerable overlap between the two job titles.\n\nIf the company is dominated by engineering, then you want to be a "software engineer".  If the company is, say in the securities business, then you're probably better off being an "Analyst".  \n\nI'd put more importance on the nature of the job, how it matches your interests, and whether it leads to a career path than on the job title.\n\nGood luck!

The Compromise of 1850 called The Pearce Act was a series of Congressional legislative measures addressing slavery and the boundaries of territories acquired during the Mexican-American War (1846–48). In five laws balancing the interests of the slaveholding states of the American South and the free states, California was admitted as a free state, Texas received financial compensation for relinquishing claim to lands West of the Rio Grande, the United States territory of New Mexico (including present-day Arizona and Utah) was organized without any specific prohibition of slavery, the slave trade (but not slavery itself) was abolished in Washington, D.C., and the stringent Fugitive Slave Law was passed, requiring all U.S. citizens to assist in the return of runaway slaves.\nThe measures, brokered largely by Stephen Douglas, with support from United States Senate luminaries Henry Clay, known to American history as "The Great Compromiser," and Daniel Webster, one of the United States' most famous orators, with the influence of the Fillmore Administration (and opposition of the Taylor Administration), temporarily defused sectional tensions in the United States, postponing the secession crisis and the American Civil War. However, its rejection of the Wilmot Proviso, which had banned slavery in Federal territories, in favor of the doctrine of "Popular Sovereignty" for New Mexico and Utah, was a departure from the method of addressing slavery in the territories that had been created in the Missouri Compromise in 1820. The political peace achieved by the Compromise of 1850 lasted for four years only until it was shattered by the divisive Kansas-Nebraska Act.


When you read a fitness magazine does it make you feel inspired or depressed?

It makes me laugh. Each one list some new exercises that are the best exercises for what ever you are looking for. Then the next issue has new exercises that are the best. They are really just filled with lots of fads that will be out of fashion by the next issue.\n\nAlso, a lot of the fitness magazines also own supplement companies, and they are trying to push their supplements. It's not only the ads, but in articles too. If you look closely, you can find the supplement company they own. Kind of like a "Where's Walso" game.

Why do a sixteen inch candle and a thirty two inch candle burn the same number of days?

Any first year law student can tell you there are 3 basic elements to any contract;  (1) offer; (2) acceptance of the offer; and (3) consideration or an exchange of value.  The terms of the acceptance must mirror the terms of the offer.\n\nOf course, contract law is much more complex than that.  Some contracts must be in writing and the parties must have the legal or mental capaity to enter into a contract.  But offer, acceptance and consideration are the basic elements to any contract.


In military science, a battery is a group of artillery guns or rockets, so grouped in order to facilitate battlefield communication and the organization of barrages. \n\nNaval batteries are a group of four or more cannons on a turret that fire in synchronization. In modern military organization, the military unit typically has 6 to 8 howitzers and 100 to 200 personnel. \n\nThey are subdivided into:\n\nField batteries, equipped with 105 mm calibre howitzers or equivalent; \n\nMedium batteries, equipped with 155 mm calibre howitzers or equivalent; \n\nHeavy batteries, which are equipped with guns of 203 mm or more calibre, but are now very rare; and \n\nVarious more specialised types, such as anti-aircraft, missile, or Multiple Launch Rocket System batteries. \n\nHeadquarters batteries, which themselves have no artillery pieces, but are rather the command and control organization for a group of firing batteries (for example, a regimental or battalion headquarters battery).


Are these idiots who run barefoot a heartbeat away from blowing their knees out? Why?

After the last hurricane season in the U.S., Do you think this year will be better or worse, Why?

has anyone ever won a medal at both the summer and winter olympic games?

From www.olympic.org:\n\nEddie Eagan (USA-bobsleigh and boxing) achieved a unique feat by winning gold medals in both summer and winter sports. In 1920, he won the light-heavyweight boxing championship. Twelve years later, he reappeared at the Winter Olympics and won the four-man bobsleigh event.


They have good funds therefore can buy the good players that can have a good chemistry with other team players, their coach Jose Murinho is a very good coach that can make the money they have very useful, using it in very successful transfer deals. They have very good players that have a good chemistry together and are perfect for the Priemer league. The money they have isnt everything, Real Madrid had huge funds but were never as good as Chelsea right now because they only bought expensive players, while Chelsea buy average priced players but buy them with higher prices than they are really labeled by their previous clubs, but these players end up showing the huge potential they have because Jose Murinho gives them the ideal positions, tactics and game style causing them to play really well as a team rather than individually. He also has a very solid defense and a fast midfield therefore can make a very good use of the counter attacks, and as you can notice a large portion of Chelsea's goals come through counter attacks, also the age range for Chelsea's players is the ideal age, that is 23-27


How should I get my boyfriend to belive that he shouldn't be afraid of my older brother?

masturbation is harmful for sex power and penis hardness?

There is nothing harmful about self pleasure.  It is a healthy practice for most men and can actually help with your sex life. It does not decrease your styaying power or sperm count either.  If anything it makes you more aware how it works and gives you more control when using it.


What is the point of wrestling (i.e. "WWF", "Smack Down" etc) that is so entertaining?

It is a male soap opera. They are just taking life to the extreme, like in a morality play, the good and bad are obvious to the viewer so it teaches about how life can end up with the bad on top for a while, but sooner or later the good gets ahead again. The truly weird thing is boxing, they actually hurt one another, that's the point, in wrestling, it's more dance than fight, if done well.

what are some famouse african american quotes on justice?

Here is a couple said by Thurgood Marshall: 1. "A child born to a black mother in a state like Mississippi--born to the dumbest, poorest sharecropper--by merely drawing its first breath in the democracy has exactly the same right as a white baby born to the wealthiest person in the United States. It's not true, but I challenge anyone to say it's not a goal worth working for." 2.Ending racial discrimination in jury selection can be accomplished only by eliminating peremptory challenges entirely. Martin Luther King: 1."Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." 2. "Violence as a way of achieving racial justice is both impractical and immoral. It is impractical because it is a descending spiral ending in destruction for all. It is immoral because it seeks to humiliate the opponent rather than win his understanding; it seeks to annihilate rather than to convert. Violence is immoral because it thrives on hatred rather than love."\n\n Rosa Parks: "I would like to be known as a person who is concerned about freedom and equality and justice and prosperity for all people."


Not even one bit. \nAnd if someone tells you it does, kick them out, fast.


As the responses above show, the answer is -1.  However, this implies two remarkable results.\n\nResult #1 is that e^i*n*pi is equal to -1 where n is any odd number.  The reason for this is as follows:\nFrom Eulers identity (mentioned above) we know that \ne^i*x  = cos(x) + i*sin(x)  \nso, as a result\ne^i*n*pi = cos(n*pi) + i*sin(n*pi)\nbut note that when n is an odd number\ncos(n*pi) is always -1    and\nsin(n*pi) is always 0.\nso the sum is always -1.\n\nResult #2 is that we can rewrite e^i*pi = -1 as\ne^i*pi + 1 = 0\n\nThis gives us e, i, pi, 1 and 0, five of the most fundamental numbers of mathematics, in one tidy pakage!\n\nBeautiful indeed!

Folks said we were poor yet you would have never known that on those times we were together late at night just listining to it rain. Yes Mam I love the sound of rain on a tin roof.

what is the difference between a h1 and h7 headlight bulb?


I have a problem talking to people especially girls i will like to know what i can do about it?

You are probably trying too hard to impress.  Be yourself and your true personality will show.  Ultimately, you want to be with people that accept you for who you are, otherwise you will need to "put on an act" everytime you are around them.\n\nOne way to take the edge off your personality, is to join a group like toastmasters or take a night class that deals with public speaking or even "acting", improv, or similar.  You'll be amazed to find that when you are around others who are relaxed, it rubs off.  \n\nIn the end...relax, be yourself and don't be so hard on yourself.  Everyone is human.


what is a good thing to get your gf for valentines day?

Your past questions have been about Arabs and Muslims.  The celebration of Valentines is against the practices of Islam.\n\nBut to answer your question.  As a general rule, never give a woman anything that plugs into a wall socket.  A gift must require thought.  Flowers and a card ARE expected.  The little something extra must be something that you know she wants and that she has hinted about over the past month.    Good luck with it man.

Where can I have an outdoor wedding and reception with 100 guests, buffet dinner & open bar for under $10,000?

I don't know where your family lives in NC, but you can look for local parks or lakes.  I know where I am, we have a city lake that allows wedding ceremonies and all you pay for is a day pass, which I don't think costs more than $100.  Then you can rent out a park to have the reception.  Check with the City Hall where your family lives.

My fax machine is not receiving faxes from a certain number?

More commonly than anything else, they dial the wrong number. Make sure they are dialing the appropriate area codes and such. If they are then there only only a couple possible problems\n\n1. The cable is unplugged from the phone line from either your fax or the senders fax machine.\n\n2. The phone line you are on is shared by your house line. This is not a problem but you must either set your fax to a fax and telephone mode, or if you know you will be recieving this fax, just set it to recieve mode. \n\n3. The last problem, which is the most uncommon and is never usually the case, your modem inside your fax machine is bad and you cannot recieve nor send any faxes at all\n\nhope this helps

why do liberals tend to be more educated than their conservative counterparts?

diamond dave is wrong. studies do show a tendency of college educatoin level-or higher-to vote liberally; however, there are other studies that show the more wealthy an individual becomes, the higher the tendency is to vote republican. The republican party seems to help out the elites while running on moral platforms supported by uneducated bible belters who think-for some reason liberals can't figure out-that those issues are important matters for congress to discuss: these people usually vote against their self-interests. Diamond D was right about the part on asking the government for assistance, though. Democrats are more likely to ask for some kid of aid.

does any body know what tantalum is or were to find it?

tan·ta·lum \nPRONUNCIATION:   tnt-lm \nNOUN: Symbol Ta A very hard, heavy, gray metallic element that is exceptionally resistant to chemical attack below 150°C. It is used to make light-bulb filaments, electrolytic capacitors, lightning arresters, nuclear reactor parts, and some surgical instruments. Atomic number 73; atomic weight 180.948; melting point 2,996°C; boiling point 5,425°C; specific gravity 16.6; valence 2, 3, 4, 5. See table at element.  \nETYMOLOGY: New Latin, from Latin Tantalus, Tantalus (from its high resistance to absorbing acids even when immersed in them). \nhttp://www.bartleby.com\n\nCompounds containing tantalum are rarely encountered, and the metal does not normally cause problems in the laboratory, but it should still be regarded as highly toxic. There is some evidence that tantalum compounds can cause tumors, and its metal dust is a fire and explosion hazard. However, refined tantalum is used in surgical instruments and implants because it does not react with body fluids.\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tantalum\n\nTantalum occurs principally in the mineral tantalite [(Fe, Mn) Ta2O6] and euxenite (other minerals: samarskite, and fergusonite).\n\nTantalum ores are mined in Australia, Brazil, Egypt, Canada, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Mozambique, Nigeria, Portugal, Malaysia and Thailand. A comprehensive, 2002 picture of non-Australian mines is reasonably current.\n\nTantalite is largely found mixed with columbite in an ore called coltan. Ethical questions have been raised about human rights and endangered wildlife, due to the exploitation of resources in the conflict regions of the Congo (see coltan).\n\nSeveral complicated steps are involved in the separation of tantalum from niobium. Commercially viable production of this element can follow one of several different methods which includes; electrolysis of molten potassium fluorotantalate, reduction of potassium fluorotantalate with sodium, or by reacting tantalum carbide with tantalum oxide. Tantalum is also a byproduct from tin smelting.

Why were First Americans,20,000 yrs ago so lacking inskills of their forebears?

The 'first' Native Americans migrated from the North,and it is speculated they 'rebounded to the North,encountering later tribes and groups,causing conflict in their midsts.Some may still be of record-Apache vs.native Mex-Indio tribes into the 1700-1800's. Many of the 'new' natives worked soft metals-gold,silver and possibly copper-and developed mines where mineral traces led into the earth.I would tend to believe these peoples did not develop 'hard' metallurgy,as the techniques were beyond access for mining,and thanks to Bessemer,We (us conquering Americans) only recently were able to produce steel,and tensile steel in any quantity.


What should I wear to my first day volunteering at a free clinic? I have no clue what I will be doing?

when making inventory,you count with the cost price or the selling price.?

depends on the method, but probably the cost.  That way if you decide to discount your inventory to get rid of it, you will know how much you are really losing and not just how much less you are selling it for.

Present your friend with your pitch. Explain what's in it for him, for you and the company. Highlight some key benefits of you collaborating with him. Make clear why you would entrust him better than anyone else and also talk about a fall back plan in case of rocky situations at work.


what is normalization?please give an example for normalizaation?

Normalization is when you make a database not have redundant information. Technically, if you have a table of people and addresses, each state should be in a different table with a foreign key referring to it in the people table. For example:\n\nPeople\n-----------\npid - primary key int(10)\nname\naddress\ncity\nstateid - foreign key int(2)\nzip\n\nstates\n--------\nstateid - primary key int(2)\nstateabbrev\nstatelongname\n\nIn that way no single piece of data should be in the database more than once. But that's fifth normalization which might not make sense for what you're doing.


disadvantage of strict security policy on network?

There's a tradeoff.  If you totally block users from downloading and installing executables, you can prevent most spyware problems.  On the other hand, users won't be able to install freeware (i.e powerpoint viewer or visio viewer) that they may need for their job.  Now, SysAdmins will get a call everytime a user needs something.  So, trade time for cleaning up messes users make for time doing very basic installs.

that's a great science question...  i believe it has something to do with the fact that the moist, hot air inside the shower is less dense than the colder, dryer air outside.  And the shower curtain is attracted to the less dense air... or it sticks to your leg because the warm air creates a vacuum with the shower curtain and cold air outside...  There's definitely a more complex scientific explanation out there somewhere, but that's beyond my knowledge database.

why does  cable internet need a modem if modems are for transforming analog signals...isnt cable digital?

The signals on the cable are many frequencies, and they have mixed a lot of types of data all on one cable.  The modem extracts a digital data stream which connects to the provider's server.  The modem then gives 10BaseT ethernet data to your computer.  That conversion must happen in the modem, since the cable has regular TV channels and other stuff mixed in.

what kind of jobs can i do with a bachelor's of science in biology?

With Bachelors of Science in Biology you can expand your horizon by doing further studies.Currently we all know that the field of biotechnology is booming.So you can do a masters in biotechnology or if you do MBA in Biotechnology that's even better. After doing this course you get to become manager in Biotechnology firms and Pharma firms.The scope of this course is enormous.\n\nMBA is a 2 year post-graduate programme in management. MBA is of 2 types - general MBA and specialised MBA.In general MBA at the end of 1st year you are supposed to choose specialisation in either of the 1 subject - marketing or finance or materials/operations or human resource. Example of specialised MBA is MBA in Biotechnology which is available at the Department of Management Sciences, University of Pune. In specialised MBA like MBA-Biotechnology you are taught all the 4 subjects in much detail i.e marketing, finance, materials/operations and HR that's because your specialisation is Biotechnology.You are specially prepared to lead a Biotech or Pharma company.The advantage is that you can go to any other sector like telecom, IT, Retailing etc. because you have been given detailed knowledge of every field with special focus on Biotechnology. That's the advantage.There is much demand for MBA-Biotechnology in Australia, USA and Europe apart from the on ein India. For details on this course visit http://www.microbiologyindia.cjb.net\nThe web-site tells you also on various management entrances like MAT, ATMA, CAT etc.Ranking of colleges along with list of various colleges is also given.

what do i wear to an afternoon wedding in winter?

Depends on how formal the wedding is and your gender. \n\nFor a guy, you probably can't go wrong with a dark suit, unless the wedding is REALLY formal or REALLY informal. \n\nFor a woman, maybe a dark skirt and a nice top. (Women's fashion is so much more complicated...) Or a nice dark-colored pants-suit would probably work. Be comfortable. Most women I see at weddings wind up in various states of dress or undress depending on how cold the church is or how hot the reception room gets (and once depending on how much she had to drink).\n\nMost of all, have a good time! :)


I had outlook and outlook express at work, how can I read my email thru either of these from home?

A popular program to use in the hacker/system admin population is called "DVD X Copy". I use it all the time to copy, errr make "backups" of my dvds onto my hard-drive or put them onto a dvd-r/dvd-rw. The only problem is the software has been discontinued by the developer. There is some good news, if you use a peer-to-peer file sharing program... you should have no problem finding it. I'm not sure if its compatible with the Mac OS but there are others you should be able to find with p2p or on google.

what does the + or - mean after DVD(DVD-R) (DVD+R)?

There are actually five formats for storing data on DVDs:  DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+RW and DVD-RAM.\n\nThe + and - don't have any special meaning, they just refer to two different standards (see below for details).  Some DVD drives/players only work with one of the standards and not the other, some work with both.\n\nThe "R" means "Read" (i.e. once you've created the disk, you can only read the data) and the "RW" means "Read/Write" (you can write new data to the disk multiple times, in addition to reading it).

Contra Richard, I think there ARE times in Jewish Law when one must choose to break one law to uphold a greater one.  In the case of a law from the Torah versus a rabbinic law, the law from the Torah is always upheld.  In other cases, a rabbi needs to be consulted.\n\nBut in the case you have delineated, I can't see that either of the laws needs to be broken.  However, I do not know much about male "needs" and I guess it is possible that a man can be so driven with desire that he feels he must have some release.  In that case, MY intuition says it would be better for him to pleasure himself than to commit adultery or fornication - because to do the latter means he is involving someone else in his transgression.  But I am not a Rabbi, and I do not know all the nuances of the Laws, so that is why I say to consult a rabbi.

Do you think it's rude to speak foreign language in the company of non-speakers,when the person can speak engl

In ettiquete, it is considered to be EXTREMELY RUDE to be talking in a foreign tongue in the presence and company of others who can't speak the language. If you think about it, it is sort of morally degrading - you are speaking in a tongue others cannot possibly understand and comprehend; it looks as if you are trying to show off your skills and your ability to speak in a different language. \n\nIt is worst still to be speaking in a foreign tongue when the company of people you are with can speak English. To the people around you, it may seem like you are talking about something that you do not want them to know about. If you really must talk about something, politely excuse yourself. That's the way to do it instead of openly flaunt your so-called "language" skills. \n\nHence, yes - I think it's VERY RUDE. When you are in the company of people who can speak English and you are speaking your own dialect of languages - you are considered to be ill-mannered. Speak English! We're all listening!

What is the distance from an RF Transmitter that output power is determined?

Output power is typically measured at the output of the final amplifier, before the feedline and the antenna.   Field strength is a measurement of radiated power at some point away from the antenna. There is no standard distance for every application when it comes to measuring field strength.\n\nRF power is typically expressed in terms of peak envelope power (PEP) at the output of the amplifier, but can also be expressed in terms of effective radiated power (ERP) when considering the overall effects in the transmitter's system, such as feedline loss and antenna gain.

The levees need to be rebuilt properly.  Also, the levee closest to my house broke because of a barge that was not properly secured before the hurricane; it drifted into a levee and broke through.

1. The difference between NAT, public, and private addresses. First public addresses. These are addresses by which others on the internet can refer to you. Another way to think of it is these are the addresses that are visible to people outside your LAN. Private addresses are just the opposite. These are the addresses that are used on your local network and they are not used outside the LAN. Thus if you encounter internet traffic from an address like 10.1.1.5, you can safely disregard it. NAT, or Network Address Translation, is done at your firewall or gateway and it essentially translates your private address into a public address. For example, your local network may be using addresses in the 192.168.1.0-254 range. These are private addresses and cannot be used on the internet. When you try to access the internet, your firewall or gateway translates that address to your public address. Thus, if you have a very simple network with only one public IP address, you could have, say, 10 clients on your internal network, but when they access the internet, they all appear to come from your single public address. Then there is static NAT (SNAT) and dynamic NAT (DNAT), but that's a little outside the scope of your question. \n2. Where to enter the public address. When you say that you have one of the clients acting like a sever, I assume you mean that it is functioning as the firewall/gateway? If that is the case, this is the only box on which you need to have the public IP address. This is for your outside-facing interface, and your private address will be on your inside-facing interface. Your other client machines don't have any need or use for the public IP address.


can I recharge my RV battery by driving ? (by alternator)?

All RVs are set up to charge the "house" batteries when driving, but there are a few conditions which may need to be met:\n\n1.  Some have intelligent battery isolators which will charge the chassis (engine starting) battery only, until it's full, then begin transferring power to charge the house batteries.  (Possible failure point is if the chassis battery has low voltage due to age or failure, the intelligent isolator will never give up trying to charge it and ignore the house batteries.)\n\n2.  All RVs have some type of batter isolator, and some of them are prone to failure.  (You probably have a "battery combine" button, which is used to link the two batteries when you need extra power for starting the engine.  That's an override for the isolator.)  Follow the positive lead from the chassis battery to find the isolator.  If it's a silver cylinder about the size of a shot glass, the simplest solenoid-type isolator, it's probably dead as they seem to fail every year or two.  But they're easy and less than $25 to replace.

i want to know about buying shares. what exactly is shares, how do i make money from shares?

Investors buy shares of stock in a company and are therefore owners of the company.  Many companies are private where perhaps a dozen people own all the shares but a large number of companies are publically traded.  Although direct trades of stock are legal, most investors place their trades (buy or sell) through a stock broker who charges a commission for each transaction.  You can trade on line through electronic discount brokers for as little as $7 per trade (buy or sell).  See Scottrade for example.  You can make money if you buy the stock cheap and sell it after the price appreciates.  If you choose the wrong stock and the price goes down you can lose money and if the company goes broke you can lose all your money.\n\nMany investors prefer to buy shares in a Mutual Fund that invests in perhaps 50 or more different companies.  Many (but not all) Mutual Funds are operated by experts who know how to invest wisely in stocks.  Also, if one of their companies performs poorly or goes broke the remaining good stocks can make up for the loss.  It is possible to invest in "no-load" Mutual Funds by contacting them directly or through a stock broker who will charge commissions for your transactions.  As an example T. Rowe Price has no-load\nfunds specializing in many different types of companies and risk categories.\n\nYou can invest IRA funds in a Mutual Fund and have the earnings compound tax free.  If you invest say $4000, multiply that by 1.1 as many times as there are years before you retire and you can see how it will grow and grow at a 10% annual rate (not guaranteed).  And that is only one deposit.\n\nI'd recommend investopedia.com, especially their dictionary, to better understand any investing terms you encounter.  Good luck.

Am 49.I get up at 6 am.. At 1 pm,noon I start feeling drowsy/sleepy....What is it ??

what time do you go to bed? Maybe you're not getitng enough sleep; most people need about 7 hours. Do you get any exercise? That might help. It may also be what you eat; are you eating a good healthy breakfast, and a decent lunch? Plenty of fruit, not too many carbs?


Should the president be allowed to circumvent the law during a time of war?

No -- the law already provides means for the President to act in emergencies.  Claiming the right to do anything at all in "wartime" in furtherance of "national security" -- including the sole right to define "wartime" and "national security" is extremely dangerous.  Even with checks and balances in place this country has jailed pacifists (not draft resisters, simply opponents of WW 1) and imprisoned citizens of Japanese descent -- for no reason other than their race.  It will be far worse if no checks of law or balances from the courts and Congress remain.

why do girls start bitchin' once u had sex with them ?

THERE CAN BE TWO REASONS FOR THIS. 1 EITHER YOU SUCKED IN BED, AND SHE IS BITCHING CAUSE SHE DOESN'T WANT TO HAVE SEX W/ YOU ANYMORE, BUT DOESN'T WANT TO COME OUT AND TELL YOU, OR 2 SHE REALLY LIKES YOU, AND IS AFRAID THAT YOU MAY GIVE THE GOODS AWAY TO SOMEONE ELSE, WHICH MAY CAUSE HER TO GET JEALOUS, AND BEHAVE THAT WAY.  TO FIND OUT IF IT'S #1, THE NEXT TIME YOU GUYS ARE ALONE, AND GETTING ALONG SLOWLY APPROACH HER, CARESS HER, STOKE HER HAIR, GIVE HER A KISS ON THE FOREHEAD, THEN ON THE TIP OF HER NOSE, THEN HER MOUTH, THEN MAKE YOUR FINAL MOVE!!  IF SHE PULLS AWAY FROM ALL THAT SHE DOESN'T LIKE YOUR MOVES IN BED.  WHAT WOMAN WOULD TURN AWAY FROM THAT???  I KNOW THAT GETS ME IN THE MOOD FOR SURE.  GOOD LUCK
