If time is the measurement of change...?

With advances in relativity, quantum mechanics and microscopy, time is actually currently defined as measuring the number of vibrations of a cesium atom.\n\nSince this motion slows down as you approach the speed of light, it could be said that we are measuring how much matter/energy has slowed down from the speed of light since the big bang...\n\nSince entropy is defined as, "the amount of energy that cannot be used to do work," measuring how long it has been since the big bang is not QUITE the same as measuring the amount of energy that cannot be used to do work.\n\nFor example, entropy itself has changes as our technology has progressed - we are now able to utilize a larger percentage of wind and solar energy than ever before in history, which necessarily means that the rate that entropy is increasing has slowed.  There is no reason to believe this will not be the case in other areas, such as nuclear fusion (which powers stars) or even tapping the vast vaccuum energy that is omniprescent throughout space.\n\n:)


i have been married for 19 yrs an separated  for 9 yrs what type of papers do i need to grt a divoce ?

Go to the local courthouse and the clerk there should be able to help. They have paper work there that all you have to do is fill out. Return the papers and they will give you a court date with a judge. Really depends on your state.


If she knows about his past and still wants to marry him let her.  She is clearly too stupid to listen to any advice.  She must be desparate to hook up with a three-time loser like your dad.  Wish her well but warn her that he is a born cheater and she too will be cheated on.

Many republicans are trying to outlaw abortion, what does the average american think about losing that right?

I find it interesting that there even IS such a push to get rid of abortion. Poll after poll of Americans all over the country has shown that while a majority doesn't much like abortion, they still think it's not the government's business to tell a woman what to do. \nPersonally, I believe there should be a major educational campaign to reduce unplanned pregnancy. The US has among the highest number of unplanned pregnancies in the industrialized world (nearly half of the 6 million pregnancies that occur each year among American women are unintended. Of those, 1.4 million result in births, and 1.3 million result in abortion). Women and men should be properly eductated and realize that sex can lead to pregnancy (obviously, too many don't) and that there are ways to reduce that risk very dramatically. Abortion is not a form of birth control. \nBut even if education were perfect, there would still be unwanted pregnancies, and women would keep trying to get rid of unwanted babies. In communist Roumania having an abortion was a crime, for both the woman and whoever helped her. Women were forcibly tested when there was suspicion of an abortion. Punishment was prison, often more than 10 years. And still women kept getting them, desperate NOT to have the baby. Many died through botched abortions. \nMaking abortions illegal will not stop them, it will just make sure more women have them done by back-alley butchers.

what are the functions of an administrative manager/officer?

All organizations need timely and effective office and administrative support to operate efficiently. Office and administrative support supervisors and managers coordinate this support. These workers are employed in virtually every sector of the economy, working in positions as varied as teller supervisor, customer services manager, or shipping and receiving supervisor.\n\nAlthough specific functions of office and administrative support supervisors and managers vary significantly, they share many common duties. For example, supervisors perform administrative tasks to ensure that their staffs can work efficiently. Equipment and machinery used in their departments must be in good working order. If the computer system goes down or a fax machine malfunctions, the supervisors must try to correct the problem or alert repair personnel. They also request new equipment or supplies for their department when necessary.

Anyone have personal experience with Ibogain?

You should learn how to spell Ibogaine first.lol\n(Just mocking your responce to nybabygirl's question)\nI think your work with addicts and homeless in very noble.\nThe only thing I know about ibogaine is it's supposed to be a non addictive treatment.  I don't know what (probably heroin) and I heard once someone (20 years ago) OD'd on it and was comatose for a week.  I might be wrong but I thought it was used in voodoo ceremonies too.


How do you feel about Nuclear power plants as a source of energy?

The greatest technological challenge of the 21st century is to meet energy demand in an environmentally sustainable way.  Nuclear energy is a carbon free energy; however, current fission technology leaves a deadly legacy - radioactive waste that is toxic for tens of thousands of years.  To put the energy demands of humans in perspective with nuclear energy, please see the lecture by Nate Lewis (California Institute of Technology).  In 2006, humans are consuming energy at a rate of about 14TW (14 trillion watts).  Using current technology, in order to generate 10TW of energy, we would have to build a new reactor every single day for the next 50 years.  This would be a monumental effort in stupidity and futility.  Furthermore, this would not meet growing energy demand, which is predicted to be ~28TW in the year 2050.  The clearest alternatives are wind energy and solar energy.  Practically, wind energy used globally can potentially provide ~2TW energy, meaning that solar energy is going to be our primary energy source.  The energy that strikes the Earth in 1 hour as sunlight is enough to provide humanity's energy needs for 1 year (~14TW).  However, this energy is diffuse, and we still need to develop low cost, efficient methods to convert solar energy to fuels and electricity. Research is progressing rapidly in this topic.  The world needs to committ massive resources to this right now.  \n\nThe second part of your question relates to cold fusion.  Interestingly, fusion is the source of sunlight, so using solar energy, is in a way, using fusion energy (we don't have to worry about the problems of containment and generating fusion pressures and temperatures).  There are a few research projects around the world that are working on finding useful methods for controlling fusion reactions for energy.  Perhaps the most well known involves a giant room with thousands of high energy lasers that are focused at a pelletized source of fusionable material.  In this scheme, the energy input from the lasers initiates fusion.  This technology is promising, but is far from being economical.  Research efforts should continue.


Why are some people affected by poison ivy and others are not?

A lot of people have a really strong immune (spelling?) system. This helps them block off a lot of diseases, sickness, illness, and etc. I have been around a lot of poison ivy/oak but have never been affected because of my stronger immune system. The younger you are, the stronger your immune system is.

What is the best deal for a family of 4 for Walt Disney World package?

You are pretty much going to find the same price for Disney no matter where you go. If you do find a differnt price, it will be very small. I tend to look more at service than just price. Here a few recommendations to help you.\n\nStay on site. It is a lot nicer than having to have a car to get around or rely on off-property transportation. Disney's transportation works really well. The service and quality of the stay will be much nicer at Disney than an off-property. Value resorts run just about the same amount as some off-site and you will be a lot closer.\n\nTickets this year have a great price. The longer the ticket, the more the price averages down per day, down to $30 if you get a 10 day. You can then add on hopping and water parks. So you can get the exact ticket you want.\n\nThe dining plan is also a great deal this year. It is really affordable and can save you a lot of money. \n\nThere are some online discounters. I don't recommend using them to book the trip. One reason, you have to take care of everything for your trip. If you don't know a lot about Disney this can be really difficult and you may not get everything you want. Plus, some sites don't even offer Disney resorts, the ones that do have been higher than what I can get thru my travel agent. Finally, I have known some people that booked thru an online discounter, arrived at the resort and discovered there booking was never made and they didn't have a place to say. The site would not do anything, so they had to pay for the vacation twice. From what I have heard from a lot of people, online discounters can be a nightmare and a lot of times the problems can't even be fixed. It's really a bad way to start out your vacation. \n\nI highly recommend http://mousetrips.com/ This is the travel agency I use to book all of my trips. They are wonderful and will provide you with the best service. They are quick and can help you with everything you need. They will answer all your questions, take care of the booking, dining, etc. They can help you to plan a really nice trip and get the most for what you are spending. I use them for all my trips and I have been more than satisfied every time with them. They will even lower your price if a discount comes out, you don't even have to tell them and they will have it done. They don't charge anything for the service and their price is the same as Disney. They really take the stress out of the planning so you can enjoy it.\n\nHope this helps!


I think Thermo lost it on the algebra.  Expanding the 4x term using the double angle formula gives:\n\n      (sin2x + 2(sin2x)(cos2x))/(sin2x - 2(sin2x)(cos2x))\n\nwhich can be divided top and bottom by sin2x to yield\n\n      (1 + 2cos2x)/(1-2cos2x)  About as simple as it gets.\n\nTest by storing an angle in X in the TI83, then enter the original expression and then the simplified version to see if you get the same answer.


why does roll on deoderant work for me but derderant spray doesn't?

probably the density of the application. Roll on is going to deposit more deodorant than spray, meaning that it will probably work better in high sweat environments. I'm in the army and always tak roll on out in the field with me because it works better for me in high sweat environments. When I'm not, though, I prefer spray.

What is the best brand of 3 season sleeping bag for week long backpacking trips?

Slbell68 is right - down is not good for backpacking.  Look for a fiberfill bag with a stuff sack.  I got mine at EMS about 15 years ago and it's fine.\n\nYou want a bag that weighs about 2.5 pounds, no more than 3 pounds and that squishes down to about the size of a small cushion.\n\nLink below is to articles I have written about gear with a link to Sierra Trading Post.  This place has a wide range of products and they guarantee everything they sell.\n\nNo lie - my hiking boots fell apart and I glued them and even though they were three years old - Sierra took them back and refunded my money.  I buy everything from them - quality and customer service are top-notch.

how many ethernet switches and routers can be linked on a home LAN?

Yes.  The difference between a switch and a hub is that a hub repeats each packet that it receives.  A switch is "smarter".  It keeps track of who is where and only forwards packets that are necessary to the specific receipients.  So, adding a switch will not degrade performance.  In some cases, it might lower traffic on a LAN segment thus improving performance.


Is it safe to do pilates reformer when prgnant? anything i should watch out for?

i actually had a pilates instructor who was pregnant, and i asked her about the reformer.  she said that she modified the excersizes to do many of them on her side (as laying on your back can reduce blood supply to the baby after a certain period of development) and that she didn't work out as hard.  but she said that she still excersized three times a week or so.  i would think that keeping strong and healthy would be beneficial to your pregnancy!  however, i would check with a doctor, because you don't want to make a mistake... it is, after all, your child.

What is the best way to get rid of loose skin ans streaghtmarks on dark skin?

Unfortuneately it is very hard to lose both without surgery, which is expensive and the best option.  You can try meladera which is for scars but also helps with strech marks but it is expensive.  For the excess skin the only thing that seems to work isto keep exercising while losing weight and especially doing weight training.

South Park, Drawn Together, Family Guy, Viva la Bam, Barney, Spongebob or Paris Hilton sex tape, which one?

Family Guy...exploits what everyone else is thinking...more appealing to my age group (baby boomers)The creativity involved is the best. Who would have a baby with an accent like that who hates his mother and only the dog can understand him. And the family dog who loves the mother romantically...who would think of that?...the creators are the best. The daughter does not exist to the rest of the family and Peter is so obnoxious but loveable at the same time. He is Homer Simpson and Howard Stern combined- If Homer Simpson and Howard Stern had a baby together it would be Peter.\nDrawn together would come in second....off the map.


The MENTAL ABUSER uses “mind games”. He/she is very clever at twisting things around to blame you, the victim, for everything that goes wrong. People who abuse others mentally are wickedly suspicious and jealous. They need to be “in control” of you, of your mind, body and spirit. That’s why they always have “to be right” all the time, never, ever giving you credit for having a working brain in your head.\n\nThe VERBAL ABUSER is more than just a loud mouth. He/she is a TALK DICTATOR. …yelling, swearing, “dissing”, and always interrupting when you try to get a word in. Worst of all, this kind of abuser uses his mouth to “put you down”. By ridiculing, embarrassing and threatening you, both in front of other people and when you’re alone, the verbal abuser makes you feel much smaller and weaker than you really are.\n\nThe EMOTIONAL ABUSER is like a clone of the verbal abuser, but much more quiet about it. He/she doesn’t scream or swear at you but, instead, criticizes everything you do. He/she often makes cutting little comments about how stupid or incapable you are. Emotional abusers never take what you say or do seriously, rarely listen, and show no respect for you. They make you feel that they “know it all” and you “know nothing”.

what kind of poisinous spiders or snakes you have in australia, here we have (usa) rattler, coral cotton mouth

Australia actually has more dangerous critters than the US:\nBox Jellyfish are responsible for more deaths in Australia than snakes, sharks, and salt water crocodiles put together. They can be found near the coast along all the Great Barrier Reef which extends as far as 2000 Km. Another poisonous jellyfish is the Irukandji, the smallest animal on earth capable of killing humans (only 1 centimetre or half an inch in length).\nThen there are lovely small but beautiful blue-ringed octopuses close to the beach, never attacking but only defending themselves against curious hands with a deadly poison man cannot counteract yet. \nOr the poisonous fish - the Scorpion Fish and the Stone Fish, living everywhere around Australia but loving coral. So wear shoes when you go into water. \nThere are about 30 species of poisonous sea-snakes - they won't hunt you but if you come too close and scare them, they'll bite and likely kill you anyway. \nAustralia has more than 100 kinds of poisonous snakes -- about a dozen of which rank among the most poisonous on earth (the top 8 most deadly snakes are all Australian). One of them is the coastal taipan (Oxyuranus scutellatus)which sports the biggest fangs, one of the most lethal venoms and a rather aggressive nature\nAs for spiders - there are more than 40 species of funnel web spiders, a group of arachnids known for their toxic venom. Strangely enough, humans and other primates are maximally sensitive to funnel web venom but other mammals such as mice, rabbits, guineapigs, dogs and cats are relatively immune and often survive 100 times the human lethal dosage.\nThey even have a poisonous egg-laying mammal - platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus). On the back legs of mature males are a pair of short spurs each hooked-up to a venom gland that makes a viciously painful toxin. It causes pain strong enough to induce vomiting which can persist for days, weeks or even months. The pain is resistant to morphine and other pain-killing drugs and anaesthesia of the main nerve from the spur site is often the only way to relieve the patient's suffering.


how dolphins hear. How does their brains work?

All species of dolphins use sound for echolocation. Using their melon (the bulbous portion of their forehead), they create a sound that bounces off objects around them. The returning echo of the sound gives the dolphin information about the location and physical description of the object. I don't know much about the actual workings of the brain though, but I do know that the dolphins sonar is much more advanced than human technology and can pin point exact information about it's surroundings ranging from size, distance and even the nature of the object. Dolphin Speech is so complex that the sounds even cross the species barriers and enable different kinds of dolphins to communicate.  They have been known to instruct each other as well as receive instructions and act accordingly.

They vary depending on personal, public or olympic. Check it out at wikipedia.com\nThe olympic size is below.\n\nAn Olympic Swimming Pool is a pool that meets FINA's additional standards for the Olympic Games and for world championship events. It must be 50 m in length by 25 m wide, divided into eight lanes of 2.5 m each plus two areas of 2.5 m at each side of the pool. The water must be kept at 25–28°C and the lighting level at greater than 1500 lux. Depth must be at least 2 m, and there are also regulations for color of lane rope, positioning of backstroke flags, and so on. Pools claimed to be "Olympic pools" do not always meet these regulations, as FINA cannot police use of the term.

Can a seller back out of a contract if all requirements are met by the buyer?

Let's take a step back here...\n\nI'm going to assume that you have met the following conditions:\n1. Counter-signed contract by both parties\n2. Cashed escrow check deposited by the seller (or escrow agent/title co, someone)\n3. As buyer, you did not default in any way by breaking any timelines, and are currently or were not in default under the contract terms and conditions, including current closing date.\n\nIf you have met these above conditions, the seller would be in default if they did not sell you the property.  In this case each state has specific remedies... along the lines of this:\n\n1. You'd set a closing date (probably set on the contract)...\n2. Seller does not close, therefore in default\n3. File a Lis Pendens (pending litigation)\n4. Begin a Specific Performance proceeding forcing the seller to close.\n5. If seller looses you are entitled court costs, and potentially damages (loss of locked interest rates) and the such.  The court will appoint a referee to handle the sale if the seller is still uncooperative.\n\nYou will want to hire a REAL ESTATE attorney.  Not attorney Bob down the street; make sure that they are real estate attorneys specifically.  There are many ins and outs.\n\nThe seller has probably had a change of heart because they have received another, higher offer while you were in contract.  In most cases they will back down if they know you are represented.\n\nGood luck...

what was the dollar equal to for the past 80 years due to inflation?

It is hard to answer that question because there are many different ways to measure inflation.  A good resource is the NASA website, http://www1.jsc.nasa.gov/bu2/inflate.html.  Additionally, the U.S. Department Of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics has a record of the Consumer Price Index, ftp://ftp.bls.gov/pub/special.requests/cpi/cpiai.txt.\n\nAccording to the BLS, the CPI in January 1926 was 17.9 in January 2006 it was 198.3.  What that means is $17.90 eighty years ago is now worth $198.3 or $1 in 1926 is worth $11.08.

I am 25 and I want to be married. Is it a good time or not.?

I agree, it's probably not the most logical place to ask "is it a good time to get married"... only YOU can answer that.  well, you and your boyfriend.\n\nYou are on the right tracking thinking about finances and feelings.  Continue to discuss things with your boyfriend.  Where will you live?  Does he have a stable job?  Does he have or want children? Do you?  When?  Who will care for them?  How will you raise them?  Discuss reglion.  How will this come into play with children.  Have your families met?  Do you have the same goals and values?\n\nMarriage is awesome!  It's important to really think about it and plan for it.  So while I may have teased you a little for asking "should I think about marriage"- I think it's good you ARE thinking and planning.  Go with the flow and let things happen naturally.  If it's the right time to get married/engaged, you and your boyfriend will know it.  In the mean time, start talking about goals and longer term plans with him.


I'm feeling someone but don't if she feels the same?

Next time you are talking with her, ask her if she wants to get together and do something.  If she says no, be friends.  Stop giving your number to her.  If she ask for it, put into her phone.  When I was dating, I did not offer my number.  Let the girl show interest first and you have a better chance of going with her.  If she puts her phone number into your cell phone, you are in.

What is the composition of blue litmus paper?

First it is helpful to describe what litmus is.  It is a lichen found on the rocks of eastern Atlantic Islands.\n\nYou know what, I was going to copy and paste it all but go here for the info: http://www.henriettesherbal.com/eclectic/kings/roccella-tinc.html under "chemical composition.\n\nLitmus Paper.—BLUE LITMUS PAPER (Charta Exploratoria Caerulea) is prepared by dipping strips of paper in a clear and strong infusion of litmus, or by rushing the infusion over the paper. White unsized paper is the best for this purpose; and the infusion may be made by adding 1 part of litmus to 6 parts of boiling water. Good litmus paper should be of uniform color, neither too light nor too dark, and when carefully dried, should be kept in well-stopped vessels in a dark place; when it has a purplish tint, it is a more delicate test for acids than when pure blue. An extremely delicate test-paper may be made by almost neutralizing the alkali contained in the litmus; thus: Divide the filtered infusion of litmus into two parts; stir one portion with a glass rod which has been previously dipped into very dilute sulphuric acid, and repeat this until the liquid begins to look reddish; then add the other portion of liquid, and immerse the paper in it (P.).\n\nHope this helps.


how can one counsel a person who is at the last stage of a terminal illness and seeeks refuge?

Usually this person is in need of bringing closure to past conflicts. Let them talk...let them express. Even help them contact old acquaintances they feel the need to say things to before they pass. \n\nOften times, this person has to come to terms with their fate. It then becomes such a peaceful time for them because they have accepted the end. Help your friend get here. Go through old memories. Remind them of experiences that helped mold their life. Accomplishments. Make them feel that their life was "lived." It helps them realize that they made a mark on this world. Ask others to come by and show respect and admiration for what they were able to share in their relationship with this person.\n\nYour friend needs to feel their self worth before accepting that it is now time to go. I have no doubt that you can do a wonderful job helping them get there. \n\nI'm so sorry for your impending loss. It is oftentimes harder on those left behind. But you are doing a wonderful thing. This will be remembered.

PLEASE READ---Need quick help memorizing synonyms/word groups--PLEASE READ AND HELP?

Harry Lorraine and Jerry Lucas wrote a book called "The Memory Book."  They did shows where they memorized every name in the audience during the show, and memorized whole magazines, including pictures for the show (within a week).\n\nTheir system used association.  If someone's name is John, for example, you picture their face in a toilet.  You have to associate something absurd with each word to link them together.  I did it to pass botany lab, and I had the answers memorized (genus and species by looking at picture), but I had no clue what I was talking about.\n\nbanal sounds like a.n.a.l, so a.n.a.l is boring, fatuous--flatulation comes from a.n.u.s, cackneyed--I hacked up a loogie when I flatulated, mundane--mud came from my a.n.u.s, prosiac--I took prosac so that I could perform a.n.a.l....etc...... (I had to use dots between the letters because it is considered a bad word and won't show up).\n\nIf you picture this crap, you will NEVER forget that trail of words.


Does DNA have 4 chemicals in it and what are their names?

DNA has four bases, the ones you are referring to as chemicals. The names of these bases are Adenine (A), Thymine (T), Cytosine (C) and Guanine (G). In RNA all these bases are also present except T where it is replaced by Uracil (U). So when information is copied from DNA to RNA (mRNA specifically) C pairs with G, G pairs with C, T pairs with A and A pairs with U (since there is no T but U in RNA).\n\nBesides that the chemical composition of DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid) is a Phosphate group, a base(the four bases) and a sugar (Deoxyribose). These three parts together form a nucleotide. A nucleotide without a phosphate group is called a nucleoside. The 'chemicals' you are looking for are Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine and Guanine.


sealed bearings. do they ever need to be greeased?

Sealed bearings should not be greased.  Taking off the seals lets in dirt and water, and the shields are almost impossible to properly remount.  It's preferable to use sealed (rubber shields) over shielded (metal shields) bearings, because rubber shields can tolerate a higher bearing speed for a longer time.\nOpen bearings should be used, if they can be mounted in such a way that they're protected from the intrusion of dirt and water, and there is a way to grease them from outside the machinery in which they're mounted.  Using a time-activated greasing device such as an SKF LAGD series greaser is preferable to lubricating periodically with a grease gun.

Is international friendship really that important?

Only and Only mixing more and more with internation people will make u understand and ease the tension the world is having for a quite long time now.I am a bangladeshi and been to australia and stayed there for 7 years-and that really made me understand why the Australian authority always rejects south east asia's peoples application to allow them to stay in their country---its not xenophobia(fear of aliens) as the south east media would like to potray about the mentality of australian people.I am not gonna elaborate on that,but I know now that most australian people are one the most honest,decent,fun loving,kind hearted nation on earth.I met the british,the greeks and a lot of other people to understand that they started to hate the muslims or arabs or asians only after the media started this dirty game of potraying foreigners(from arab and asia)as evils.If u are an american,u r now potrayed as evil as well in the middle eastern too.But,to be very honest-if u could go pass the media mayhem and say hello to an young bangladeshi,you are definitely going to end up being freinds.....every human being has the same emotions....but he or she is right now a bit of hesitant because of the media.Remember one thing,If u are looking at an animal and feel scared,it is also feeling the same about you.And this rule is applicabale to human beings too.....bye for now.Have a truly nice life full with friends everywhere in the globe unlike the politicians.

How did I get asthma recently  when I'm only allergic to pollen..and there's no pollen in winter in Maine?

the reflux can cause the asthma.. the acid may be getting pushed up by excess gasses in the digestive tract. (this is what happens to me) To fix that a nature-path (natural medicine doc) put me on a couple of teaspoons of apple cider vinegar a day ( I know what you're thinking, but) The reason I was getting acid reflux is that I didn't have enough acid to digest what I was eating, this created excess gas that was pushing stomach acid up into the esophagus.. if I remember to take my (yeech!) apple cider vinegar I don't have any problems with reflux.

Who is going to be the best shooter in college basketball in 2007?

I think Randall Hanke of Providence will shoot the best percentage next year. He shoot an amazing 68% last year and he averaged 13 pts a game.\nBut the person that shoots the best percentage obviously isn't necassarily the best shooter in the country.\nI think the best shooter will be from the SEC. Either Chris Lofton of Tennessee or Lee Humphrey of Florida. Chris is probably better though with 47% fg, 44% 3p, on 17ppg to Lee's 48% fg, 46% 3p, on 11ppg this year.

Ask :) If it's not possible, you can search on yahoo member directory (if it is a yahoo address). But this is a confidential area and won't show every user's email address unless they added it to the member directory. (There's an option in yahoo profiles where a user can put his/her email address in the member directory). \n-Next option is to search for their full name, or full name + palce etc.  on google and hope they have put it somewhere on places like hi5, myspace, personal blog or any website. If not, then rue the fact why you didn't keep in touch with them before.

examples of rock  made of more than one  mineral?

Granite and most other igneous rocks are made of more than one mineral. In granite you can see the individual mineral crystals, which are often quartz, plagioclase feldspar, and potassium feldspar. In other igneous rocks like basalt the minerals may not be visible to the naked eye. Basalt will included olivine, pyroxene, and plagioclase feldspar in most cases.\n\nSandstone is an example of a rock often made of more than one mineral. In addition to quartz grains, sandstone may contain feldspars and many other minerals. Identification of these minerals can often be used to determine the provenance, or original source of the grains that make up the sandstone. \n\nLimestone is an example of a sedimentary rock that often contains only one mineral. Limestone is sometimes composed of 99.9% calcium carbonate, or by its mineral name, calcite.  In some cases, it will have more than one mineral, and may be a mixture of calcite, aragonite, dolomite, siderite and other carbonate minerals, as well as sometimes having small quantities of quartz grains.

Is it possible to raise a child in a religion that you yourself haven't converted to?

Converting to islam is good. It is good that you first research the religion first before converting. Dont convert because he says so. My husband is muslim and i am christain. We have been together for 5 years. You decide what would be best for your child. Dont convert for the heck of it. Do it for you. We have decided that when we do have children(inshallah) they will be raised muslim.  If he loves you for YOU, then do what you think is best. Dont let him tell you what you need to do. Talk to him about this, and talk to other people too. Email me if you want any information.

What is the acceleration of all objects toward Pluto?

Your question is very vague and almost meaningless without more details added.\n\nWhere are all these objects in relation to Pluto?  What is there distance away?  Are they sitting on the surface, or are they here on Earth?  When someone says "all objects", do they really mean ALL objects?  Obviously, I am sitting here on Earth and Pluto is exerting a very weak attractive force on me, but I am not accelerating towards it since my over all net force is directed much greater toward to Earth and toward the sun.\n\nForce = mass * acceleration\ngravitational Force = (G * m1 * m2) / r^2


Why are onion and garlic avoided in a Buddhist vegetarian diet?

Some Buddhists in China and Vietnam also avoid eating strong-smelling plants such as onion, garlic, chives, shallot, and leek, and refer to these as wu hun (五葷, 'Five Spices'). One theory behind this Buddhist dietary restriction is that these vegetables have strong flavours which are supposed to excite the senses and, thus, represent a burden to Buddhists seeking to control their desires. Another theory is that these are all root crops, and harvesting them requires killing organisms in the soil.\n\ngood question aaron!

Why does a fluorescent bulb light up when place in a microwave?

http://margo.student.utwente.nl/el/microwave/\n\n\nIn the U.S. used to be a program called "Mr. Wizard's World", in which this old guy would do all sorts of scientific nonsense... And one of the programs, he put a flourescent in the microwave... Although it sounds like fun, the results aren't really that exciting.. It just lights up, like a flourescent light is supposed to. Of course, this makes sense, since the material on the inside of the glass is there to turn the ultraviolet light into visible light in normal operation, and placing it in a microwave just makes this material act in its normal way, lighting up... (emailed by Michael Parker) \n\nI can tell you a bit how it works, I think. In a microwave there's no ultraviolet light. Just radio waves at 2.4 GHz. Normally the flourescent light will transmit ultraviolet light and the white powder will make this visible light. This happens because electrons of the atoms in the powder will get excited because of the exact amount of energy (or: the exact wavelength) they receive from the ultraviolet light. When (after a short while) these electrons fall back into their lower orbit, they also transmit light, but then in the visible range, but only 1 color. So they put several different kinds of atoms in the powder, that will transmit different colors so we will see white light. Appearently, in a microwave the gas in the tube gets energy from the microwave waves (probably because the gas is conducting) and starts transmitting ultraviolet light and the powder will transmit light. Easy.

I don't mean to be mean, but it isn't possible for her to love both you and her new boyfriend at the same time. It sounds to me as if she is keeping you on a string just in case the new boyfriend doesn't work out for her. You didn't say why you broke up or if she broke up with you or vice versa, but it sounds to me as if she is enjoying putting you through all of this. I know you don't want to hear this, and I am sorry I have to say it, but I think you need to care enough about yourself to realize you deserve better than being strung along and you need to respect yourself enough to not allow yourself to be played this way. Move on and find that special person who will love and respect you the way that you deserve. Even if you were to blame for the break up, you don't deserve to be treated this way. We all make mistakes. I know this will be hard, but it will be the best thing for you. If she truly loved you she would not be able to hurt you this way. Good Luck! \n\nSS

what are the cause and effect of poverty?


anyone any natural remedys for dandruff?

You may want to try clarifing shampoo (read the label).  Washing your hair in vinegar (apple cider vinegar I hear is best) also helps. \n\nIf you generally just wash with soap and water, and don't want to deal with other products, then when you wash your hair massage your scalp, including scratching it.  Your dandruff might seem to increase initially, as you loosen some of the flakes, but after a few days it will lessen greatly.  Without actually getting rid of the cause, though, you will continue to get flaking.  This will just help get rid of the flakes when you are in the shower / bath, rather than on your collar of your black shirt on a date.\n\ngodd luck.

why do people not want mexicans to stay in america?

How To Destroy America\nBy Frosty Wooldridge\n10-31-2003\n\nLast week, I attended an immigration-overpopulation conference in Washington, DC, filled to capacity by many of America's finest minds and leaders. Writers, speakers, CEO's, representatives from Congress such as Tom Tancredo as well as former governors graced the podium. Bonnie Eggle, mother of the national parks ranger Chris Eggle, slain by Mexican drug runners last year on our unguarded southern border--gave a compelling speech that left not one dry eye in the place. Peter Gadiel, father of Jamie Gadiel, spoke powerfully on how the World Trade Center took his son and how nothing has been done since--to stop the flow of illegal immigration into the United States. Even with the façade of Tom Ridge's Homeland Security, 800,000 illegal aliens continue walking, crawling or tunneling across the Mexican border annually. Their accelerating numbers are undermining America's ability to function.\n \nDuring the conference, speaker after speaker astounded the audience with facts on how fast the present administration and congress continue dismantling the American Dream for average citizens. Mr. Rob Sanchez of Arizona, showed how H1 B and L 1 visas have ripped one million high tech jobs out of American worker's hands. Another speaker told a packed audience how 'offshoring' and 'outsourcing', fully supported by the president and congress have cost over three million American jobs in the past six years. His prediction was even more depressing: "In excess of three million more jobs will be 'outsourced' within four years. Those American jobs are headed to Mexico, India, China, Pakistan and Brazil." Later, a brilliant college professor named Victor Hansen Davis talked about his latest book, 'MEXIFORNIA', explaining how immigration, both legal and illegal, was destroying the entire State of California. He said it would march across the country until it destroyed all vestiges of the American Dream.\n \nMoments later, former Colorado Governor Richard D. Lamm, stood up and gave a stunning speech on how to destroy America. This writer sat in the audience spellbound by the eight methods for destruction of the United States.\n \nHe said, "If you believe that America is too smug, to self-satisfied, too rich, then let's destroy America. It is not that hard to do. No nation in history has survived the ravages of time. Arnold Toynbee observed that all great civilizations rise and fall, and that, "An autopsy of history would show that all great nations commit suicide."\n \n"Here is how they do it," Lamm said. "Turn America into a bilingual or multi lingual and bicultural country. History shows that no nation can survive the tension, conflict and antagonism of two or more competing languages and cultures. It is a blessing for an individual to be bilingual; however, it is a curse for a society to be bilingual. The historical scholar Seymour Lipset put it this way, "The histories of bilingual and bicultural societies that do not assimilate are histories of turmoil, tension and tragedy. Canada, Belgium, Malaysia, Lebanon-all face crises of national existence in which minorities press for autonomy, if not independence. Pakistan and Cyprus have divided. Nigeria suppressed an ethnic rebellion. France faces difficulties with Basques, Bretons and Corsicans."\n \nLamm went on, "Invent 'multiculturalism' and encourage immigrants to maintain their own culture. I would make it an article of belief that all cultures are equal. That there are no cultural differences. I would make it an article of faith that the Black and Hispanic dropout rates are due to prejudice and discrimination by the majority. Every other explanation is out of bounds."\n \n"We could make the United States an 'Hispanic Quebec' without much effort. The key is to celebrate diversity rather than unity. As

Many developing countries depends on the productivity of land there.?

I'm no expert but I did a degree in Business and have read a lot of international development literature...\n\nFirst I would ask if financial wealth is the important thing - and if so, when is a country seen as wealthy? If you look at GDP this doesn't show the distribution of wealth very well.\n\nMany richer countries have progressed up the ladder from mainly primary to secondary to tertiary to mainly service jobs. Now in the UK for example, the banking area is well known and a lot of money comes out of this service industry, whereas before many people were employed in coal mining or manufacturing.\n\nIn other countries they may rely more on agriculture and mining and use their land in this way. What I would say is that it's probably a long road between relying mainly on land for your income and relying on knowledge services for your income. Many rich countries including England, France, and the USA progressed through the different stages by exploting human labour of other people (slavery, and colonisation for example), but now want to deny countries such as China their desire to attack human rights in the name of creating wealth.    \n\nIf I was a small country, I'd find my biggest asset, make the most of it and try to become self-sufficient. I would work first on infrastructure, primary health, primary education, stopping internal conflict, and increasing awareness of diseases if I was susceptible to that. I would look at building long term diplomatic relations with neighbouring states, and make decisions about who I want to ally with strategically.\n\nThis could have been a one sentence answer but I felt like writing. Good luck!

why is LA Lakers goin' so bad? i used to love their play.....?

It's simple:  The only good player on the team is Kobe.  You can't have a TEAM if you've only got one player who can play!  The rest of the team is decent, but they're not contributing all that much this year, so Kobe always has to step up and win the games.  And he can't do that EVERY day!

who do you guys think is gona be mvp lebron or kobe bryant  or other please write down?

mcgrady is my favorite player, lebron is my second favorite, but i would have to say lebron is the best overall player in the NBA right now. he can make great passes. make steals and block shots. he can drive to the hoop anytime he wants because of his power and can hit a nice range shot. plus he is soooooo fun to watch because of his dunks. he also averages around 25-7-7. so lebron is the best. no, i seriously doubt that lebron will ever win a championship, ilgauskas is good, but not good enough to help lebron james carry the cavs to become a NBA championship calibur team. larry hughs has medical problems and probably will not be able to play for the remainder of this season and after he returns from his injuries, he still will not be as good of a player as he was when he was in washington with the wizards. drew gooden is a very inconsistant player and will not be able to contribute much to his team against all the good power forwards in the game today. such as kevin garnett, and tim duncan.


What is the average amount of daylight in the dry climate?

Daylight and sunlight are 2 different things. Daylight is obviously sunrise to sunset no matter how dark the sky may be because of clouds, rain, etc. It actually averages a bit more than 12 hours at all locations because of the width of the solar disc and refraction - sunlight bending thru the atmosphere. This adds about 15 minutes to the day at the equator where the sun to a large exent goes straight across the sky. The additional amount can be much greater around the poles though where when the sun is up it sort of circles the sky - more time near the horizon, thus more time the sun is visible (on a flat horizon) despite its actual geometric position being a bit below the horizon). Hope that is clear.\n\nYou probably mean amount of sunlight in a dry climate. That is rather site-specfic - hard to state a general amount.

Can I get A cough or sick while Im on antibiotics?

The cough...or a cold is a virus and yes, you can get it while on antibiotics.  The flu is also a virus....Antibiotics are for bacterial infections.  And if you take them all the time (some people do), your body will become immune and they won't work when you really do have an infection...like strep throat.

What is the best p2p network that does't bring virus to my computer?????

I would say Bittorrents or Limewire. Although Bittorrents may be slow, it has the least chance of getting a virus because to download torrents, u have to go to sites and the sites have forums and members that probably check the downloads. Also be sure to have a good internet security such as Mcafee, zone alarm, or trend. But DONT install norton. Norton makes your computer suffer and is an extreme pain in the rear.


how to make a homemade hand prosetheseis?

??? Do you go to the McGyver School of Science and Technology? I never heard of anything like this, do you have to do it with only one hand? You can try this, inflate a rubber glove and wrap it in plater of paris, or stick your hand (in a glove) into a bucket of plater and let it harden to form a mold. Fill the mold with the material of choice for your prosethic device.

10 p0ints...REGARDING THE CHELSEA-BARCELONA GAME..?cheers!!!??read on...??

yeah the armbands were against racism.\nI'm not sick of Mourinho. Infact he's the second coach i like after Franck Rijkaard(Barcelona). Mourinho coaches very well always expecting the best from his players.\nIt's not his fault: Barca was better(I'm a Barcelona fan: FORCA BARCA)\nI mean Roni, eto'o, marques, deco, motta, puyol were in the field so there's nothing Chelsea could do.\nI don't want to raise a debate but Barcelona is the best.\nMessi got injured on a precedent action then added to the collition with Terry(hope i'm not mistaken) the injure just got worse.

Creationists:  Predicted evidence of big bang has been found.  Whatcha think?

The Big Bang Theory has not been proven. Don't believe every piece of hype that you read. Many predictions of BB and related theories have been verified. Many others have been contradicted. Same with some ID and Creation theories. Some have been verified, some have been contradicted. Many evidences claimed to support a billions-years-old universe also support other explanations. Usually it's just a matter of premises.


I recently brought 33 cartons of cigarettes from a Indian Reservation.  I got pulled over........?

It's illegal to buy from a rez and then resell for a higher profit. With 33 cartons, that's what you were probally doing and it is an offence you can be charged with.\n\nAnd just a little FYI for you reserve land is considered government land, so that little stunt you pulled is a federal offence.


I don't think people turn gay. I think it is just who they are.


Explain why this statements cannot be true 5/6-3/4=2/2=1?

Because to be able to subtract those two fractions you have to find the common denominator.  In this case it would be 12 therefore\n5/6 would be 10/12\n3/4 would be 9/12\nSo the answer would be 10/12 - 9/12 = 1/12\nThe statement is not true because all the person did was subtract the fractions across.


how to write an apology letter to your neighboors?

Frankly, you'd be much better off knocking on those 11 doors. It would earn you the respect you desire so badly. A letter is a poor excuse when you live in the same building.\n\nBut if you insist, I would be very blunt and forward in your letter. Something like, "I would like to apologize if I offended anyone by playing loud music the other night. It was totally unacceptable behavior and I will not do so again."\n\nAnything more is fluff.


what is the standard punishment for someone in the army going AWOL in 1997?

When faced with investigation or harassment, some service members are tempted to leave their units without permission. Going AWOL (Absence Without Leave), referred to in the Navy as UA (Unauthorized Absence), is a violation of Article 86 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). It is a serious matter that nearly always hurts service members more than it helps them.\nService members who go AWOL may face arrest and nearly always face punishment, including restriction, non-judicial punishment (NJP) and even court-martial. Going AWOL may increase a service member’s chance of getting an Other Than Honorable (OTH) discharge. It usually makes the discharge process go slower for those who want to get out of the military and can lead to confinement.\n\nService members who go AWOL sometimes miss a movement or deployment. “Missing movement” is a violation of Article 87 of the UCMJ. This is a serious offense that can result in court-martial or increase the chances of an Other Than Honorable discharge based on misconduct.


i am a denfensive lineman in the 9th grade. i am 5'6 233 pounds. how can i grow and be stronger as a d- lineme

Time, just eat right, work out at least an hour a day on weight training 6X/week 3 days uppper body, 3 days legs.  Then, run sprints, 20 yard sprints X 30 reps/day for endurance and speed.  I also suggest getting a bicycle and riding 10 miles a day for the summer to build up your legs and endurance on top of the workouts.  Finally give your body a full day each week to recover, and never excersize the same muscle groups two days in a row as they need time to heal.  That way you can add bulk to your frame without hurting your body.\n\nDO NOT TRY THE "EASY WAY" AND TAKE PERFORMANCE ENHANCING DRUGS.  They work, but are counter productive if you are interested in going further as success at this level comes by talent and hard work.


You can always qualify for financial aid even if you made too much money. The difference is that you will have to pay for it and the interest when you're done with school.  Also, you can only qualify if you at least go to school with a part time load. \n\nOnline college is only a good bet if it's in the same state your living in, otherwise you'll be paying out of state tuition, which is most of the time as much as 5 times more expensive. Have you thought of a community college?

If your two frenids died what you do...?

Well, I guess it would be horrible, I just can't imagine my life without my friends.\nBut I think that I would make more friends, I mean, life goes on, and maybe when someone dies another person comes and cannot take his/her place, but we can give ourselves the chance to get to know her/him and find out if this one can be our friend.

Absolutely!!! With more love amongst the world communities would come tolerance & respect for one another & one another's culture, belief, religion ect.

I have my first interview to get into radiography school today . . .?

It's a variation on them saying to you, "Tell us about yourself."  However they phrase it, just realize that they are NOT asking you where you were born or for a life history.\n\nWhatever or however they ask, your task it to get them to link you with your chosen field, which is radiology.  Just communicate something about your basic values, an event or influence that got you interested in radiography, and what you've been doing that gives evidence of your interest (doesn't have to be a job).\n\nBut the bottom line is to be yourself.  You've researched the field, you're applying to the program, and you have a strong interest (right?).  Just be sure not to say that it's for the money or job security - that's not what gets people into school.\n\nGood luck!


What is the way one says "ready to go" in idiomatic French?  (noticed "bon a trier" and wondered if parallel)

What came to my mind when I saw your question was something about editing a text and letting the printer know that it's OK to be printed.\n\nTherefore it would be "bon à tirer" and not "trier" (not the same :-)) which means something as "OK to be printed" e.g. "ready to go <to press>".\n\nI think this is the context of editing and press here.

READ ME  I know my advice isn't always the kindest, but it's truthful, \nIf she is ignoring you, don't react to it.  The best response is not to react.  That will get her attention.  Otherwise, if you are having to work so hard to get a girl to notice you, it's not worth it.  Move on.

What is the legal age to watch a sibling?

I am a single father in the Army, and as such I am acquainted with this subject. The answer depends on the state that you live in, and the maturity of the child.\n\nI fall under both state and military rules so I'll give you what I know.  When I was in Kentucky, the state had rigid rules.  Must be 16 to watch children 10 yrs old and younger. The military policy is that the older sibling must be 13 years old.  This policy also states that if the child is not mature enough at 13, they should still not be baybysitting.\n\nNew York state guidelines are quite different.  You as a parent make the judgement call.  If you feel the child is mature enough, you take the responsibility of leaving the child in the sibling's care.  However, if there are instances of child neglect or abuse while the child is in the sibling's care, the parent would be liable because they decided that the older sibling was mature enough.\n\nAnother factor is the lenght of your absence.  A preteen (10-12)  should be fine for an hour or two. Younger teens 6-8 hours and older teens overnight.  The child should have and emergency plan, and neighbors or a support system that they can contact if they cannot get hold of you.  Younger than 8 or 9 should not be left caring for younger siblings.


Name 3 factors that led to the collapse of the roman empire.?

Three factors:::\n\n(1) weak, short-lived emperors imposed, deposed, and  \n    murdered by the military.\n\n(2) invasions by Germanic tribes.\n\n(3) the loss of eastern territories to the Persians.\n\nThree factors fed into the transformation of the Mediterranean economy of antiquity into the European economy of the Middle Ages. The Germanic invasions of the later Empire were one of these factors; the other two were the civil wars of the 3rd century, and the Islamic invasions of the 7th century. \n\nAsk your teacher, he may give you 10/10...\n\nhttp://360.yahoo.com/jcbroogley


Skarphallen stadium in norway is who stadium ?

Tromsø Idrettslag (TIL) and it's the Alfheim Stadium, in Tromsø, Norway.


Let r = the rate on the country roads.  Then r-9 is the freeway rate since he travels 9 mph slower there.  The formula needed is d=rt, or in another form t = d/r where t = time, d = distance and r = rate.  Since both have the same t, \n\n20/r = 15 (r-9)\n\ncross multiply to get 20r - 180 = 15r\n\nadd 180 to both sides and subtract 15r from both sides to get\n\n5r = 180   Divide by 5 to get\n\nr = 36.  So he goes 36 mph on the side roads.

why are you trying to stop Iran's nuklear activations?

CZ they want to have a reason to occupy Iran


I think it is not possible. This can be proven by what the body needs to achieve 'standing up':\n\nThe first thing is that it requires muscle tone and balance, which is controlled by the brain. \n\nStanding up also depends on the muscle fibers, of course.If the myocytes are dead, then it is not even possible for someone alive to stand since the muscles will not respond to the signals sent by the brain.\n\nMuscle tone requires energy. Thus the circulatory system and (hence) the respiratory system must also be intact. However, these 2 systems require control from the brain as well. \n\nFrom these you can see that this simple action requires the coordination of several systems: the nervous system, respiratory system and circulatory system. Sadly, when a person dies, one or more of the abovementioned systems must be damaged. Hence it is not possible to stand when already dead.

It begins the last Sunday in March and ends the last Sunday in October. In the EU, all time zones change at the same moment.

How do you prevent sex/ porn websites from suddenly popping up?

Get a good pop up blocker, but in the meantime, keep people from accessing porn from your computer by putting a good firewall and antivirus on your computer, as well!

why does the us support isreal so closely?

Because "...so many Senetors & Wall street bigwigs are Jewish" like the person before me so cleverly said. There is no other reason to support this Jewish Aparthied State, I'm not anti-semetic or racists or whatever you call the person who criticizes anything Jewish, I'm simply stating that your life inside the Israeli system is worthless if you are not Jewish, you're a third degree citizen and you are not respected. \nBesides, If the USA supported the Arabs, the Arabs are people of honor, they would have been good friends and if it wasn't for our unjust support to Israel at the expense of the rightful Palestinians who we helped Israel occupy and torture and kill and do nasty things to, we would have had so much to teach, and so much to learn from the Arabs. We would have grown together instead of supporting this political entity that is called Israel that is an expert in misrepresenting truths and making it's occupation of PALESTINIAN TERRITORY since 1967 look like a legal thing. Name one country that is under occupation in 2006!!?? It's PALESTINE. International Law gives every right to the Palestinians to defend themselves because they are under occupation. Do not forget that there are 1.4 BILLION Muslims and 320 Million Arabs. I wouldn't continue pissing them off and acting like an arrogant person if I was in some people's shoes. The world Needs a BIG PUSH to FORCE ISrael to RETURN PALESTINE to the Palestinians, or we will never ever have peace in the Middle East, it's simple, those 8 Million Palestinians want thier country and this is what it's about, The stuff of George Washington fighting for America's independence, is the stuff of Palestinians fighting the Zionist Israeli Occupiers for thier independence. There's no hiding it.


how do u define terrorism?and what is the true reason behind it?

Terrorism = acts of violence commited against non-combatants (that includes civilians and auxiliary military personnel and any military that's not actively involved in an open armed conflict) with the purpose of harming the psychological balance of the enemy (basically seeding terror within an opponent's ranks).\n\nThe men fighting US and UK in Iraq (and elsewhere where US and UK have troops on soil other than their own) are basically freedom fighters. But when they employ tactics that are ment to seed fear rather than obtain tactical advantages over a declared enemy, that makes them terrorists also.\n\nHowever even here there's a fine line as some freedom fighters commit terrorists acts others don't. The difference is even more obscured by the fact that US declared a war on terror and if such a notion is to be taken seriously (though normally it isn't enough to just say you're at war and actually considered to be at war lawfully) then the attacks against US personnel in Iraq can't be considered terrorist acts, since it's war.\n\nIf another country occupied mine I would fight by any means I see fit. There is only one justified reason for occupation and that is if the occupied country has requested foreign military intervention through recognized representatives that speak for an accepted majority of the country. Sometimes the UN can authorize military intervention on a country's soil if that country has commited repeated acts of aggresion against UN members or the violent conflict within a country threatens the territorial integrity of a UN member. If my country would be at fault for any of these, I would join the occupation force (which wouldn't be called an occupation force anyway).\n\nAs such, the US presence in Iraq isn't justified and is also illegal. The US campaign there was accomplished with the use of lies, deception and acts of terrorism performed by US military (attacks against civilian population, economic embargo even of humanitarian products, the 'oil-for-food' extorsion attempt - some which were conveniently called mistakes, a very unbelievable excuse from the most modern army in the world which also claims high moral principles).\n\nAgain, as such we can identify two types of terrorism: classic terrorism (performed by international organisations such as Al-Qaeda or national such as ETA or IRA that usually employs physical violence: guns, bombs, etc) and neo-terrorism (or state-terrorism - performed by a nation against another, state-endorsed which employs methods of economic coercion, indirect violence against civilian population such a economic embargo, high prices for food and water, etc commonly performed by US, Israel and sometimes China outside of international lawmaking agencies such as UNESCO and UN).\n\n--- to bungiebabe (edit): it will be a challenge to find the source which I copy/pasted simply because it doesn't exist. All answers I give come from my personal experience and research (I am correspondent on Middle East issues for some newspapers in my area, which is why I tend to answer this type of questions) and sometimes I credit Noam Chomsky and Annabel McGoldrick for quotations, but I don't copy paste. My main source is, as always if you've followed my posts, www.un.org and the UN list of General Assembly resolutions and Security Council resolutions.


How do you loose weight in just your thighs?

Your body doesn't work that way.  When you burn calories, the body loses weight in a certain order.  Same with gaining weight.  You can't lose weight in only one specific area.  You can only tone the muscles in that area, but that won't make the fat go away there.


when is the next parking ticket amnesty for baltimore marlyland?

lol, you must be planning to go to an Orials game. I went to Aberdeen 3 diferent times for training in the Army and all 3 times I would go to the games. That was in the old stadium. You would see half the people leave in ths 4th or 5th ennings and then return a half hour later, it was because of them street sweepers and the streets had times that you could not park there. I thought it was hilarious.

Molar concentrations and partial pressures?

Divide each mass by their molar weight to get the number of moles of each gas. 0.856g He/(4.003 g He/mole) = 0.214 mole of He. Do that for all the masses and add them up. I got a total of 1.034 moles. \nFrom that you could find the total pressure using PV=nRT.\nNext, find the mole fraction (I think this is the same as molar concentration) which is the # of moles of each gas/total number of moles.\nThen multiply each mole fraction by the total pressure to get each partial pressure. \nHope this helped. Let me know if you want me to go through each step.


It really depends on what you would enjoy. \n\nYou dont want to be @ a job wishing you would've went the other way.\n\nI would choose either RN or PA. But I like medical..and its NEVER boring.\n\nGood Luck and hope everything goes good for you.

My advice would be to pray and see if God has something he is trying to say to you.  Also, no offense to the person who said it, but just because it scares you when you hear your name does not mean that it is a demon (although that could be the case) but even the shepards were fearful when they saw the angels proclaiming the birth of Christ.  The angels had to tell them not be be afraid.  Just pray!!!!

Dual citizenship is only given if one of your parents were born in Canada. Doesn't apply for grandparents.
