I want to be a naturist but have lots of moles.Will it be safe to undress in the hot sun?

No-one can say for sure, but what we *can* say for sure is that plenty of people get skin cancer in places on their bodies that are never exposed to the sun.  So, you could spend your whole life in a cupboard and *still* end up with skin cancer, without even having years of pleasure from sun-worshipping to offset it.  Also some research suggests that sun exposure actually inhibits cancer, since sunlight produces vitamin D, and this is thought to have a preventative effect on certain cancers.\n\nMy advice is this:  Never use sun lotion, it causes skin cancer.  My reasoning is that if there is anything about sunlight that causes cancer, it's likely to be the length of time you are exposed to it.  Using sun lotion gives people a false sense of security about being out in the sun (because it inhibits the natural effect of exposure, i.e. tanning), with the result that they spend much more time exposed to the sun than they would otherwise.  I'm pretty sure it's no coincidence that there is a strong correlation between the greatly increased use of sun lotion in recent decades and the increase in skin cancer seen in some places.  Hence my conclusion is that sun lotion causes cancer.\n\nSo, the natural and sensible alternative is to use your body's own sun protection - tanning - to guide you in your sun exposure.  Start by short periods of exposure - just a few minutes - and see how your skin reacts.  If you are perfectly comfortable and get a shade of tan, that's about right.  If you go red, or even worse start to peel, you know you've overdone it.  Gradually work up to the protection of a deep natural tan.  You will get a good safe tan with much less exposure than if you used lotion.\n\nOne final point:  By far the most important issue with skin cancer is early detection, so if you see anything that concerns you, get it checked out straight away.

is the have any way to get 100% business lone my credit is 750+ , and i need to know what to be aware thanks?

You can try if your bank will give you 100% loan. But banks -- even SBA -- always want to see the business owners invested in the business so they require business owners to put in money into the business. As SBA explains it:\n\n"Business loan applicants must have a reasonable amount invested in their business. This ensures that, when combined with borrowed funds, the business can operate on a sound basis. There will be a careful examination of the debt-to- worth ratio of the applicant to understand how much money the lender is being asked to lend (debt) in relation to how much the owner(s) have invested (worth). Owners invest either assets that are applicable to the operation of the business and/or cash which can be used to acquire such assets. The value of invested assets should be substantiated by invoices or appraisals for start-up businesses, or current financial statements for existing businesses."\n\nMake sure that you have other requirements such as collateral, excellent business plan, business financials to convince banks that you can be given 100% business loan. You just have to try.


how much should a person charge to put in item up for sale on ebay for them?

It will depend on how much effort you will need to do. Clarify with them who will handle the following functions and how will these be decided:\n\n- Take good photos of the item\n- Write item description\n- Accept payment (if by Paypal and it's through your account, remember you get charged for Paypal processing fees). How much payment fees will you charge them?\n- Packaging the item\n- Going to the post office or arranging UPS man to pick up item for delivery\n- Who will pay for selling fees (listing + gallery fees and other add-on features + final value fees if the item sells)\n- How many relists would they want? And if so, who will absorb the listing fees for all the relists? You may have an item that simply won't sell even if you relists it 5 times - and that means 5 listing fees charged to you by ebay\n\nIf you will be doing all of the above, you can charge as anywhere from 5-30% of the amount of item's selling price.\n\nI suggest you study the fee structure of services such as ebay drop off stores. One example is iSoldIt.com, and their commission is basically 30% of the amount the item's selling price http://www.i-soldit.com/fees.asp . Plus, they will deduct the selling fees incurred as well as payment processing fees. \n\nOne thing to stress to them is that selling on ebay is not as cheap as they might think it to be -- and that NOT EVERYTHING sells. \n\nMake sure you have a contract and that they understand the process involved in selling on ebay and why are you charging these much fees.


Besides users of contaminated needles and people who are infected by sexual intercourse, are there other ....?

Health workers who handle the body fluids of AIDS victims are at risk. Also, prior to blood screening for the virus, many people contracted the disease through transfusions. Drinking infected mother’s breast milk can infect a baby. \n\nAlong with health workers, infants, and those contracting HIV through transfusions, are many women and children caught up in many kinds of sexual abuse and slavery.

Does anybody think Italy has a chance this year to win the World Cup?

I've been saying this for a long time: this is the best Italian team in the WC since they won it in 82, even better than their finalist 94 team. This team can really play! I do think they could go all the way. Italians concentrate on defense defense defense, they have a killer one coupled with amazing attacking players. Watch out for these guys.

How do asians (India, Pakistan etc) justify only hiring other asians to work in their stores?

I have met nice girls, bad girls.\nI have met nice blacks, bad blacks.\nI have met nice whites, bad whites.\nI have met nice old people, bad old people.\nI have met nice Christians, bad Christians\nI have met nice Muslims, bad Muslims.\nI have met nice gays, bad gays.\nI could go on, but I think you get the idea.\n\nEach person must be credited or blamed for only the things he or she has done, not for others actions who may be in the same group as them.\nIn fact I think the grouping of people, is not a very good thing, and everyone should be treated as an individual, in their own group, which consists of them, and them alone. \n\nSo if everyone thought this way there wouldn`t even be any groups, and the world would be a much nicer place.

what do you think about supertitions in vietnam and around the world ? please, give me some examples! thanks?

A couple of Vietnamese superstitions that are pretty interesting are:\n1) The first person of the lunar new year to shop your business will set the outlook of the rest of the year. (This works for days as well). I've seen business keepers walk around their store waving a burning newspaper to cleanse the lousy luck from the premises thanks to a deadbeat shopper.\n2) Never take a picture with three people together. The middle will surely die soon.\n3) Pregnant women are bad luck. Seeing one in the early morning is grounds for going home and starting your day over again. I guess this extends to functions like weddings and again, the luck your business can count on. Of course, like in the US, if you are living with a pregnant spouse you may be safer out of the house all together.\n\nI've thought a compilation of the superstitions in Vietnam as a book would be interesting in that I believe there are extensive prescriptions for proper behavior beyond what what me and my US comrades are used to. I know too that there are eleborate luck theorems for divining the meaning of numbers as you can see there when you watch folks try to pick numbers for "Ve So" (lottery tickets).

Is America targeting Iran because they are selling Oil in euro's instead of USA Dollars..and nothing else?

Why would the Bush Administration risk widening Gulf War II to include Iran when it still has the chance to limit its losses to Iraq? The most popular explanation is that the US wants to pre-empt the Iranian decision to set up a Tehran oil bourse to facilitate the selling and buying of oil in euros instead of US dollars.\n\nThe idea is that this would cause a chain reaction in which more and more oil producers and their customers would trade in euros and eventually force the US to pay for its oil in euros too. This would mean the US would have to do what every other country in the world has to do, namely earn foreign exchange through exports in order to pay for its oil imports.Last year the US trade deficit for petroleum products was about $300 billion. While the $US remains the international reserve currency and oil continues to be traded in dollars, the US can pay for its oil simply by printing more IOUs in the form of US treasury bills.\n\nIf the US had to find euros (or yuan) to pay for its oil, it would have to increase taxes, cut consumption and increase exports. In short, according to this scenario, the US could no longer afford to be a military superpower and would have to cut back its global adventures.\n\nIn the process, the $US would collapse, wiping out the accumulated financial assets of America's major creditors and probably causing a depression of 1930s dimensions. More generally, such a development opens up the question of whether the reserve status of the $US is supporting US superpower status, or whether US military power is propping up the reserve currency status of the $US.So can we conclude that an Iranian oil bourse trading oil in euros is the real reason for the current crisis? Perhaps this is prematurely jumping to conclusions. The claim that the Iranian bourse will definitely trade in euros appears to me to be based primarily on speculation at this stage. I have yet to see a clear statement on this from the Iranian government. There are certainly good reasons for suspecting that it might be in euros, since Iranian government sources have previously spoken favourably about trading for oil in euros (9,10) and according to a statement attributed to the Vice-Governor of the Iranian central bank, Iran began selling oil in euros to Europe in 2003.Pentagon sources confirm the Bush administration could undertake a desperate military strategy to thwart Iran’s nuclear ambitions while simultaneously attempting to prevent the Iranian oil Bourse from initiating a euro-based system for oil trades. The later would require forced "regime change" and the U.S. occupation of Iran. Obviously this would require a military draft. Objectively speaking, the post-war debacle in Iraq has clearly shown that such Imperial policies will be a catastrophic failure. Alternatively, perhaps a more enlightened U.S. administration could undertake multilateral negotiations with the EU and OPEC regarding a dual oil-currency system, in conjunction with global monetary reform. Either way, U.S. policy makers will soon face two difficult choices: monetary compromise or continued petrodollar warfare.


What is your opinion on "swingers"? Fun fun fun :)?

My wife and I have an exceptionally happy marriage. We've been together for 15 years, and still love every moment we spend together.\n\nMy wife is bi-sexual, and I am straight, and for years she had fantasies about inviting other women, and other men and other couples into our bed, as did I.\n\nAt some point it became a part of our pillow talk, we talked to each other about our fantasies, and engaged in sharing fantasies as part of our lovemaking.\n\nAfter a few years of that we decided to invite a friend into our bed.\n\nIt was a disaster! We hadn't done any research at all on how to be successful, and foolishly thought all we had to do was enjoy ourselves.\n\nA few more years went by and we continued to share fantasies, and again the subject came up - needless to say we were more cautious this time, we actually found some swingers discussion boards, and became participants - asking questions, and learning how successful swingers did it.\n\nWe joined a couple of swingers match making sites and started to understand what we were looking for and how it matched with what others were looking for.\n\nWe found a great magazine about swinging (I'll put a link in the sources section), and read it cover to cover.\n\nWe looked online and found a swingers club in our area and decided to visit the club.\n\nWe went to the club and get so excited that we couldn't wait and ended up having semi-public sex with each other (which was one of her fantasies - she is very exhibitionistic).\n\nThen we went home and again had fantastic sex.\n\nWe went again the next weekend, and found a couple that looked fairly unthreatening and asked if we could sit down - they were very helpful in explaining all of the etiquette of the swingers lifestyle, and what the expectations were, so we sat with them all night and basically had them do a brain dump of everything they had learned in 25 years of being swingers.\n\nOne of the things we kept hearing was that we needed to set rules - which explained the disaster we experienced in our first attempt - no rules! We didn't know what was expected, there were guilt feelings and jealousy, and recriminations.\n\nWe sat down and developed a set of rules designed so that we would both know whet was okay, what made each of us uncomfortable, what was strictly off-limits, etc.\n\nWe discovered that getting ready to go to the club was so exciting that we almost didn't even need to go, the anticipation, the time we spent naked while bathing, grooming and getting ready, the conversations we had with each other while getting ready, watching her get her sexiest outfits on, and try things on for me, excited both of us so much we almost always had to make love before we even went to the club!\n\nAs we got more comfortable and confident (because of all the open conversation) our sex lives again improved, we couldn;t keep our hands off of each other, riding in the car became really hot, getting ready for work in the morning became really hot, getting ready for bed, going out to dinner, all of our daily activities became huge turn-ons because we were so hot for each other.\n\nWe would spend time talking about things we wanted to try, and watching attractive women walk past would cause secret smiles to cross our faces because we would both be wondering if that sexy soccer mom was really a closet, back scratching, climb-the-headboard s lut!\n\nOne night at the club, after months of playing with just one another, we met a married woman who followed us back to a room and joined us.\n\nIt was incredible! We both felt completely confident in our marriage and in our rules, and fulfilled a couple of our fantasies right then!\n\nWe met her and her husband for dinner a couple of nights later and immediately hit it off - the hardest part of swinging is finding a group of people that all like and respect each other, and find each other attractive!\n\nWe started having foursomes - extremely erotic and enjoyable, and became

Hi, what is your view on this quote? "If you can laugh at it, you can live with it."?

It's the truth.  It's basically meaning, even if something bad happens to you, if you can laugh at it, it's much easier to live with that situation.\n\nI have learned to deal with bad situations that way, and I have a much happier life and a better life.  Because by looking at things on the bright side and trying to laugh them off, I have been able to shake off a lot of stress and by dealing with those kinds of things in that way, you really lift a huge weight off your shoulders and it's much easier to move on to bigger and better things.\n\nFor instance, if you go to drive your car and discover it has an obvious flat tire, thus you can't go where you had planned on going.  This has happened to me before just a couple of weeks ago, and instead of getting upset because I couldn't go where I wanted to go, I laughed and thought, well at least it was already flat instead of me getting into the car and driving 70 miles an hour and then it going flat and blowing up on me.

And the best part, getting it in front of his workmates. He will be so proud of u. Go ahead do it. All the best. Have a blast.

We = U.S.?  Yes, "we" should.  The electricity demand is going to rise significantly over the next several decades - we could build hundred of cola/gas fired plants, removing it from car/truck consumption and from plastics and other industries feedstock OR a couple of baseload nuclear plants.  The new ones are passively safe and generate no greenhouse gases, or other toxic emissions unlike fossil fuel plants that create tons (including releasing radioactivity).  There is the spent fuel issue - however, if the US could get the geologic repository licensed and operating, or recycle the spent fuel, we'd be a lot better off.

What does the commandment "honor thy father and mother" mean to you?

It means honor them. Respect their wishes. When they advise u to do something...think long and hard and evaluate the advice before ignoring it, or not following it. Give them the courtesy of not just blowing them or their ideas,insights,wisdom,and guidance off. It in no way, shape or form means obedience. I was raised to believe it did, but I asked two preists(yes, I'm catholic and my faith is pretty important to me), and they say that the 4th commandment in no way(though it would make them happy), means u have to obey ur parents. I understand that little kids must think it means obedience, so they will obey their parents.

Why is it en vougue for  some Caucasians to say"I'm part Indian?"They would have never admitted it before

Truly, I really don't understand the emphasis nowadays on making irrelevent claims to 'th generations. If the ethnicity to which you are making claim is so far down your bloodline that you need a microscope to see it, perhaps it is high time to accept your primary, most prevalent ethnic group. Not to say that anyone should have to deny their heritage, but if you know in your heart of hearts who you are and with what group you would like to relate yourself with, what reward is there in trying to convince others of something they would not have even known without your informing them in the first place? Unless you, at the very least, know something about the ethnic group to which you are claiming, why even bring it up?  I think it is outright rude to bring up your race unless the situation calls for it. I mean, if it comes up then isn't abnormal to respond. If it is the topic of conversation in a discussion, then it is excusable - i.e reminiscing with friends or aquaintances about your family heritage, or debating a racial issue in class, or simply educating someone about your ethnicity (I know that race and ethnicity are two separate facets, but for all intensive purposes, let's just pretend that they are synonomous, just for this discussion). But to merely make reference to one's racial background for no plausible reason other than to make oneself feel special and important is simply impolite. If you're a member of a certain ethnic group, it will be reveal itself: it will be evident, with or without you're making claim to it; if it isn't, so what? Some people are members of an ethnicity and still lack features of that group (I've seen it). Identity is without form. If you know who you are, you shouldn't need others to validate it.

Cricket Question: The batsmen run five before the ball crosses the boundary, how many runs are given?

If a ball crosses the boundary directly, '6' Runs; if a ball crosses after dropping, '4' Runs. No matter how many Runs the batsmen run. Even if they ran 5, they would be given a boundary of '4' Runs if the ball crossed with a drop/drops. \n\nThere is one thing that can be different. If batsmen run some Runs, then there is an overthrow and the ball reaches the boundary, this boundary would be an additional award. Like if batsmen ran 3 runs, then overthrowed and given '4' runs boundary, they would be awarded 7 runs.

Do you think Marijuana will ever be legal in the US....Why or why not?

It should be, and it probably will some day, as soon as Americans get serious about reducing crime.


how do you do this problem? can you show me step by step please....?

ok. well. the um first one is 15c^4 - 26c^2 - 21. if you let x = c^2, then you can rewrite this equation as \n15x^2 - 26x - 21. and to factor this, you find 2 numbers that multiply to 15*-21   and add to -26. so it is -35 and 9.\nwhich means you can rewrite 15x^2 - 35x + 9x - 21\n= 5x (3x-7) + 3(3x-7)\n= (5x+3)(3x-7)\n\nand since x = c^2, you can rewrite this as \n(5c^2 + 3)(3c^2 - 7) and if you multiply that out, youll see you get your first equation.\n\n2. so same thing here. put x= h^2.\n12x^2 - 29x - 8\nthe numbers in this case, 12*(-8) = -96. so 3*(-32) = -96. so the 2 numbers are -32 and 3.\n\n12x^2 - 32x + 3x - 8\n4x (3x-8) + 1(3x-8)\n(4x-1)(3x-8)\n(4h^2 -1) (3h^2-8)\nso there.\n\n3. in this case, the highest is squared, which you know how to do.\n2x^2 + 7x + 6\n2*6 = 12. and um 4*3=12, 4+3=7. so the numbers are 4 and 3\n\n2x^2 + 4x + 3x + 6\n2x (x+2) + 3(x+2)\n(2x+3)(x+2)\n\nso there. hpe that helps. laterz

Somatizing means that the patient is "making themselves" sick - for example, somatization disorder is a chronic condition in which there are numerous physical complaints, sometimes lasting for years and which result in substantial impairment, yet they are caused by psychological problems and for which no underlying physical problem can be found.\n\nSimilarly, Waddell's Signs are part of a screening process (particularly in back pain patients) to see if there are psychological factors in the patient's condition.  The Signs are indicators of a non-organic or psychological component to the person's pain.  Three or more of Waddell's Signs found upon screening are correlated with high scores for depression, hysteria and hypochondriasis on the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory.\n\nWaddell's Signs are:\n\nSuperficial tenderness\nNonanatomic tenderness\nAxial loading (eliciting pain when pressing down on the top of the patient’s head)\nPain on simulated rotation (based on the belief that rotating the shoulders and pelvis together should not be painful, as it does not stretch the structures of the back)\nDistracted Straight Leg Raise (when a patient complains of pain on straight leg raise, but the doctor can extend the knee with the patient seated)\nRegional sensory change\nRegional weakness\nOverreaction (exaggerated response to painful stimulus that is not reproduced when the same stimulus is given again later)\n\nThat said, Waddell's DO NOT exclude an organic cause.\n\nHope that helps.

give an overview of Christianity as it relates to Islam?

I will give this a shot, so to speak.\nI am going to give this, but if you want all the scripture references, then it will be very lengthy.  But I can put them here.  \nAbraham had two children Ishmael, through a slave woman, and Isaac through his wife.  The Christian linage follows the seed of Isaac.  Ishmael (father of all arabs) was thrown out of the family.  Anyway the linage of God and his people Israel follow Isaac, Jacob, 12 tribes of Israel (Jacob, God changed his name)  Anyway that is where it all started.  \nIslam came about with the prophet Muhammad around 1400 when he wrote the Koran.  And it has developed from there.\nThe people of God, the Jews are the source of the Bible and Jesus was born the Messiah and as you know died for our sins.  Jesus said a lot of very definite things about himself that left no room for any other way to get to God.  Muhammad recognises Jesus as a prophet, but says that the Bible is totally wrong, but does not have any writings of Jesus.  This leaves Jesus as a sort of silent Prophet for them.  They concentrate on Muhammad and sort of ignore Jesus and any writings of his.  The teaching of Muhammad and Jesus are directly opposite even as their lives were.  Jesus never married and was finally killed for our sins.  Muhammad had a number of wives and one was a 6 year old girl that he consummated at the age of 9.  Anyway Christianity and Islam are at opposite ends completely.\nThere are copies of the Koran on the net and you can read them, they say some pretty gruesome things.  The Muslim community is trying to white wash the Koran, but unless they decide to re-write it they can not deny what it says.  The peaceful ones ignore the violent passages and quote the non violent passages.  The violent ones quote the violent passages to justify killing everyone.  And the passages are in there.  The Christian is bound by love your enemy and do good to them that hate you.  Directly opposite.  I can give the scriptures but it will be much longer.


Sure. Then let's let every other person who wants to enter into some freak union have at it too. We'll have people marrying monkeys, watermelons, like eight people at a time in some state-sactioned marital gang bang. Sure, what the hell. It'll destroy the fabric of what America was ... but at least we'll be tolerant.\n\nThis is such a stupid question. The whole concept is just off. Just because you WANT to do something and most people think it's okay doesn't mean it automatically allowed. I'm sure the majority of people would condone cheating on their taxes ... let's start shaking our fists in anger and see if we can get that allowed too.\n\nYou see what the ACLU has done to this country? Like Dennis Miller said ... the ACLU will sue to keep you from putting up a nativity display at Christmas and then sue to defend the right of the local stoner who stumbles into the display and wants to screw one of the sheep.\n\nFreaking liberals are RUINING this country!\n\nP.S.\n\nIt's HILARIOUS that you posted a question asking about the consensus on gay marriage in the "Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgendered" section.

Check this review out: it seems that they are all on a spectrum (but then, everything in life is!)... So, while the majority of  people with selective mutism will not show autistic tendencies, some will. \n\nPsychiatr Clin North Am. 2002 Dec;25(4):757-74. \n\n    The social anxiety spectrum.\n\n    Schneier FR, Blanco C, Antia SX, Liebowitz MR.\n\n    Anxiety Disorders Clinic, New York State Psychiatric Institute, 1051 Riverside Drive, Unit 69, New York, NY 10032, USA. frs1@columbia.edu\n\n    Social anxiety disorder is well suited to the spectrum concept because it has trait-like qualities of early onset, chronicity, and no empirically derived threshold that demarcates normal from clinically significant trait social anxiety. Social anxiety disorder has been shown to respond to relatively specific pharmacologic and cognitive-behavioral therapies, which makes identification of other conditions that may lie on the social anxiety disorder spectrum important because of possible treatment implications. Biologic markers associated with social anxiety disorder also may be shared by similar but nonidentical traits, such as behavioral inhibition and detachment. Clarification of the trait spectrums associated with specific biologic systems offers an opportunity for improving the understanding of the origin of these conditions. Strong evidence exists that at least some forms of shyness, avoidant personality disorder, and selective mutism lie on a social anxiety disorder spectrum. For several other disorders that share a prominent focus on social comparison, significant subgroups of patients seem to have features of social anxiety disorder. These disorders include major depression (especially the atypical subtype), body dysmorphic disorder, and eating disorders. Several other disorders marked by social dysfunction or inhibition, including substance use disorders (especially alcoholism), paranoid disorder, bipolar disorder, autism, and Asperger's disorder, also may show some overlap with social anxiety disorder features (e.g., social anxiety as a cause or complication of substance abuse, social avoidance in paranoid disorder, social disinhibiton in bipolar disorder, and social communication deficits in autism and Asperger's disorder). Social anxiety disorder also is associated with other anxiety disorders in general and other phobias in particular. In respect to traits, a growing body of evidence links behavioral inhibition to the unfamiliar to a social anxiety disorder spectrum with some specificity. Biologic measures of dopamine system hypoactivity have been linked to social anxiety disorder, trait detachment, and general deficits in reward and incentive function. It remains to be clarified, however, whether this brain system function is best characterized by a social anxiety disorder spectrum or some variant that incorporates social reward deficits or social avoidance behavior. Social anxiety disorder, shyness, and behavioral inhibition all seem to have a genetic component, but more research is needed to attempt to identify a more specifically heritable temperament associated with these conditions. Finally, the emergent concept of a social anxiety spectrum needs maturation. Although the notion of a single social anxiety disorder spectrum currently has some clinical use, the authors believe that exclusive focus on the notion of a single continuum with two extremes--from social disinhibition in mania to the most severe form of social anxiety, avoidant personality disorder--is premature and limiting in respect to etiologic research. An alternative approach is to conceptualize multiple, probably overlapping spectra in this area of social psychopathology. Individual dimensions might be based on various core phenomenologic, cognitive, or biologic characteristics. A bottom-up biologic approach holds promise for identifying spectra with a common etiology that might respond to specific treatments. Taking a pluralistic view of the concept

Yes, you'd like to think of them as criminals rather than just people looking for any kind of work.  I'm sure it makes your racism that much more comfortable.


Are laptops allowed to use in every college course and are you allowed to plug them into a power outlet?

we can at our university.  You wouldn't use a laptop during a test anyways since it's done on paper, but in class lectures or presentations and around campus it's fine.\n\nReally the best thing to do is contact the university you intend to go to and see what their policy on it is, Im sure it varies by university.

anyone know anything about edema?  could it be caused by an injury to the back?

Edema means swelling. That's all. there are other factors involved if u have swelling 4 months after an incident. Talk to a different doctor to find out the reason why your leg is swelling. it could be any number of things. Also, when you have swelling, apply a cold pack(not HOT Please) to the area for 15 minutes and then remove. wait half an hour and then repeat. your swelling should go down, but u still need to talk to a doctor so they can test u to see where the problem lies.

Do you believe in TIME, PHYSICS, MATTER?


Is there a figure one can assume for a standard deviation of a perfect normal distribution?

The problem is incompletely or improperly described.\n\nEach member of the population has some characteristic value.  The mean is the average of this value taken over the entire population, which, assuming each member is an equal contributor, is M = sum(values)/N, where N is the population.  If each member has the same value, say 515, then mean would be 515 and the standard deviation would be zero.  If each even-numbered member has value 1030, and each odd-number member has value 0, the mean is 515 and the standard deviation is (approximately) 515.\n\nSo, you have provided enough information to solve the problem satisfactorily.

No it does not mean you have sold your soul to anyone. Really how do you sell your soul? That is such Hollywood mumbo jumbo.\n\nIf your paying someone to do a spell for you, I hope you have checked to see if this Witch is in good standing. You dont want to get ripped off. And I wouldn't suggest doing any spells by yourself unless you understand the work and meaning behind what your doing, and understand the consequences. It's not a game, and its not as simple as television and whatnot make it seem. Its serious work left to Witches that know what they are doing.

How is possible to have a high tide, but not a low tide?

Sometimes a High Tide will occur and last long enough to cause the next Low Tide to occur on the next calander day.\n\nFor example: 1 Jan., Hide Tide: 6:01pm\n             2 Jan., Low Tide: 12:01am\n\nAlthough both happened within a 24 hour period (1 day). It will look a if there was a day without a Low Tide because they happened on 2 seperate calander days.\n\nBut, the moon could care less about our calander. It functions on 24 hour periods of its own. Within a 24 hour period you will have at least 1 high and 1 low tide.\n\nIf I've confused you, I'm Sorry. It made sense to me as I typed it.

Why is Linux better at running lots of threads than Windows?

Mostly because of a lot of hard work by a lot \nof people.  As MP machines became available, both\nthe "regular" developers of Linux as well as the\ngood folks at IBM and HP put a lot of effort into\ntuning Linux to run on server hardware.\n\nFor what it's worth, the same can be said for Solaris\n(in that Sun has been tuning it for servers with\nup to 100 CPUs for the last 15 years).\n\nMore recently, Microsoft has moved into the server space,\nbut for a long time, their sweet spot was on uniprocessor\nmachines.  Historically, client software hasn't been\nheavily threaded, so it didn't have to be a priority\nfor M$.

EMERGENTS\nThe emergents consist of the tops of the tallest trees, which are much higher than the average canopy height (ranging up to 270 feet or 81 m). It houses many birds (like the scarlet macaw), insects, and more. \n\n\nCANOPY\nThe canopy is the name given to the upper parts of the trees (about 65 to 130 feet or 20 to 40 m tall). This leafy environment is full of life: insects, arachnids, many birds (like the keel-billed toucan, the scarlet macaw, the cuckoo, and the hornbill), mammals (like the howler monkey, which is the second-loudest animal in the world, and the orangutan), reptiles (like snakes and lizards), and others. Plants in the canopy include thick, snake-like vines and epiphytes ("air plants") like mosses, lichens, and orchids (which grow on trees). \n\n\nUNDERSTORY\nThe understory is a dark, cool environment that is under the leaves but over the ground. Most of the understory of a rainforest has so little light that plant growth is limited. There are short, leafy, mostly non-flowering shrubs, small trees, ferns, and vines (lianas) that have adapted to filtered light and poor soil. Some of these plants include ferns, palms, philodendrons, and heliconias. Animals in the understory include insects (like beetles and bees), arachnids, snakes, lizards, and small mammals (like the kinkajou) that live on and in tree bark. Some birds (like antbirds) live and nest within tree recesses and eat the abundant insects. Some larger animals, like jaguars, spend a lot of time on branches in the understory, surveying the area, looking for prey. \n\n\nFOREST FLOOR\nThe floor of the forest is teeming with animal life, especially insects and arachnids (like tarantulas). The largest animals in the rainforest generally live here, including gorillas, anteaters, wild boars, tapirs, jaguars, and people.

If i want to play 90 minutes of soccer once a week, what physical training do you recommend?

If you play 90 minutes a week, you will find that that in itself will provide very good conditioning.  So, what you need to do is to ensure you get into shape so that you CAN play 90 minutes.\n\nSimply running will help you to achieve this.  I would recommend that you run for thirty minutes, five days a week.  Do not run on the day you play, nor on the day before or after.\n\nGood luck!

The interests of people above 60 are really not much different than those younger - travel, friends, music, movies, sex, food, etc.  The biggest difference is that they usually have the experience, wisdom, time, and money to enjoy these interests without the worries and anxiety of youth.  Not always, but usually.


what does "the only pitcher to strike out the side on nine pitched balls" in baseball mean?

Three strikes for a strikeout.  Three outs per half an inning.  The pitcher threw 9 balls, all for strikes.  Striking out all the batters in a half inning is called striking out the side.  Normally, a pitcher throws more than 9 balls per half inning - fouls and called balls.  So to strikeout the side with the minimum needed is a feat.

What is the cause to and treatments for a B12 deficincy?

The cause of B12 deficiency is a problem with the parietal cells in your intestines.  They release something called "Intrinsic Factor" which helps absorb B12.  So if you have stomach or intestinal problems, you lost the intrinsic factor.  You can take B12/Folate pills to fix the problem, and it's not a big deal.

Pb2+ + Cl- ---> PbCl2\n\nWe know that the lead in Pb(NO3)2 has to have a 2+ charge because a nitrate ion has a 1- charge, so two of them is a 2- charge.  The entire compound must have no charge, so a 2+ charge is assigned to the lead. \n\nBoth compounds Pb(NO3)2 and NaCl dissociate (they are both soluble), and because nitrate and Na+ ions are always soluble, they can be ignored in a net ionic equation.


I am looking for the official(or not so official ;) )boxing rules?

The term "ring" comes from the original practice of having a circle of spectators form a ring around the two contestants. Often a rope would be held by the crowd to designate the area the fighters would have to move around. There weren't even stools, since the fights were usually outdoors and in isolated areas, so one of the fighter's supporters, called a "second", would kneel with one knee on the ground and the other up to form a seat for the resting fighter between rounds. Also, since boxing was illegal almost everywhere in its early days, if the "proper authorities" dropped in uninvited, the spectators simply dropped the rope and ran in every direction. The police might round up a few of the slow footed, but all the promoters would be out would be the cost of a rope.\nMost scoring systems today is on a 10 point must system. \n\n10-point must system, where the winner of the round must be awarded 10 points. 10-9 is a typical score for a round. A 10-8 or 10-7 round usually indicates there's been at least one knockdown or the action was severely lopsided. The referee can deduct points for fouls.\n\nThe judges judge a round on clean punching, effective aggression, ring generalship, and defense.\n\nThe Marquess of Queensberry rules are a code of popularly accepted rules in the sport of boxing. They were named so because John Sholto Douglas, the 9th Marquess of Queensberry publicly endorsed the code.\n\nThe boxing code was written by John Graham Chambers in 1865 and published in 1867 as "the Queensberry rules for the sport of boxing". This code of rules superseded the Revised London Prize Ring rules (1853), which had themselves replaced the original London Prize Ring rules (1743) of Jack Broughton. This version persuaded boxers that "you must not fight simply to win; no holds barred is not the way; you must win by the rules" (17, sect. 5, pt. 1).\n\nThe first prize fight under Marquess of Queensberry rules took place in Cincinnati, Ohio August 29th 1885. John L. Sullivan defeated his opponent, Dominick McCaffery in the sixth round.\n\nThe Marquess of Queensbury Rules:\n\n1. To be a fair stand-up boxing match in a 24-foot ring, or as near that size as practicable.\n2. No wrestling or hugging allowed.\n3. The rounds to be of three minutes' duration, and one minute's time between rounds.\n4. If either man falls through weakness or otherwise, he must get up unassisted, 10 seconds to be allowed him to do so, the other man meanwhile to return to his corner, and when the fallen man is on his legs the round is to be resumed and continued until the three minutes have expired.

microsoft ultra mobile pc when is it going on sell?

One company already has these out: http://www.tabletkiosk.com/config/pc/viewCat_P.asp?idCategory=35\nBut they are, as expected, having trouble meeting demand, so you wouldn't necessary be able to get one right away. It's up to the manufacturer's as to when they come out, Microsoft is just supplying the software, as usual. I believe samsung and asus will be releasing theirs within the next couple of months.

My 24 hour clock has shifted out of the normal 8-5 day. I tend to sleep 10 hours a day, is this a disorder?

You sound exactly like me.  It is now 4:07 a.m. my local time, and I will probably be up another hour or so.  I just cannot get to sleep any earlier.  It stinks because I want to sleep past noon.  I have always been a night owl and not a morning person, but this is getting to be ridiculous.  I am also thinking of seeing a specialist.  I don't do well on 8 hours of sleep.  I also need about 10.  Good luck!


In footwear and fashion, flip-flops are a kind of flat, backless sandal that consist of simple soles held on the foot by a V-shaped strap that passes between the toes and around either side of the foot, attached to the sole at three points. They appear to have been developed out of traditional Japanese woven or wooden soled sandals in New Zealand.


Bryman College Class Action Law Suit in Seattle WA - anybody have info on this?

The law firm of Weiss & Yourman announced today that it has filed a lawsuit seeking class action status in the\nUnited States District Court for the Central District of California on behalf of purchasers of Corinthian Colleges, Inc. (Nasdaq: COCO) securities from August 27, 2003, through June 23, 2004, inclusive.\n\n    Corinthian operates approximately 150 for-profit colleges and training centers in North America, including Bryman College, Florida Metropolitan University, Rhodes College and the National Institute of Technology.\n\n    The complaint alleges that Corinthian and certain of its officers violated federal securities laws by failing to disclose the Company's lack of internal controls and that the Department of Education had uncovered violations in the\napplication process for federal student loans at one of its campuses in December of 2003.  The complaint further alleges that as a result, the school had lost its ability to receive advance payments on its student loans.  Only\nafter these events were ultimately revealed by certain publications did the Company acknowledge them to the investing community.  In fact, during the Class Period, defendants specifically denied knowledge of any "events or\nactivities that would warrant any concern in the Company's performance," and continued to announce record results and optimistic forecasts to the market. All the while, certain Company insiders sold more than $18 million worth of\ntheir personal shares of Corinthian stock during the Class Period.\n\n    Plaintiff seeks to recover damages on behalf of the Class and is represented by Weiss & Yourman.  The firm, with offices in New York and Los Angeles, has extensive experience in complex litigation, particularly securities class actions, and has been appointed lead class counsel in\nnumerous consolidated and multi-district cases.  You may visit the firm's website at http://www.wyca.com.\n\n    If you are a member of the Class as described above, you may move the Court no later than September 7, 2004, to serve as a Lead Plaintiff for the Class.  However, in order to do so, you must meet certain legal requirements pursuant to the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.\n\n    If you wish to discuss this action, participate in this suit, or have anyquestions or concerns regarding this notice, or preservation of your rights, please contact:\n\n     Weiss & Yourman -- Los Angeles\n     Telephone: (800) 437-7918\n     email: info@wyca.com


To oil, lube, and filter the eyes.\n\nBlinking, as opposed to batting, our eyes automatically supplies two forms of moisture to our eyes, to keep them from drying out, and to keep foreign matter from entering and irritating our eyes. Eyelids themselves, our built-in "wind-shield wipers," are merely folds of skin, controlled by muscles capable of expanding and contracting so rapidly, that blinking does not impair our vision. Mother Nature lined the rims of our eyelids with 20-30 sebaceous, oil-producing glands, which are located between our eyelashes, and are invisible to the naked eye. Blinking automatically coats the eyelid and eyelashes with the lubricant it secretes, to prevent them from drying out.\n\nBlinking also protects the eye from dryness by irrigating, not by irritating, the eye, The eyelid, through suction, automatically draws the fluid we cry with from the well we refer to as the tear duct over the eyeball, to irrigate, and to moisturize the eye. The process is similar to the manner in which the farmer uses water to irrigate his crops during a dry spell.\n\nYet another benefit of blinking, is to shield the eye from foreign bodies. Our eyelashes, short, curved, hairs, attached to the eyelids, serve as dust-catchers, as the blinking reflex causes them automatically to lower, when exposed to harsh elements. Nature endowed the camel with extraordinarily long, curly, eyelashes, to protect his eyes from sudden sandstorms in the desert. Incidentally, the "camel eyelash" look is one many women attempt to duplicate by using an eyelash curler! Eyebrows, by the way, also serve their purpose, as they catch the run-off perspiration produces.


How can a woman that is anemia lose weight with no energy and can't get motivated into working out?

Hi there.. I'm a Licenced Dietetic Technician. The answer to your question....Anemia is a concern that can be fixed. Anemia is a condition in which the iron count in your blood is low meaning you have a hard time transmitting oxygen in the blood to other body parts. An easy solution is to take a simle daily supplement of 18mg/daily for 2 weeks. Then have your HGB and HCT checked again to see if the Anemia has improved. Make sure you also take a Vit C supplement with the Iron to help absorb the iron. Hope this helped. Your should have more energy because you'll have more oxygen flowing through your blood! Good luck and if you have anymore health questions feel free to ask. -Elizabeth Segler DTR/LDT


Can you re-open a lawsuit case which you received a settlement for?

Unfortunately, no you cannot re-open such a case, not without new evidence. The best you can do is go after your lawyer, but it probably won't help a whole lot.  Very valuable lesson is to be learned here- you were so young when it happened- you body had many changes to go through yet and with Firestone's record, you should have had a clause put in the settlement (or not settled at all) that future consequences of the accident could be claimed.


how can i rehabilitate the autistic child?

You don't "rehabilitate" him.  You love him and help him understand his strengths.  You teach him to cope with the intense stream of sensory input he can't filter.  You need to understand that God would not have brought you this amazing child if He thought you couldn't handle this.  My son is high functioning, and an amazing kid who is eight now and brightens my every day.  My daughter shows a lot of the same qualities and may be high functioning autistic as well.  She's ten, and is the apple of my eye.  This link will help you to open up to what you child is going through: http://home.att.net/~ascaris1/\nIt was put together by an autistic man who wants parents of autistic kids to know just what it is for a child to grow up in this.  \nAmong the people in history who grew up and made a name for themselves are Mozart, Edison, Einstein, and Thomas Jefferson.  Being autistic doesn't have to prevent your child from finding success.

Is their a link between what's happening with Al-Quida trying make Israel a Islamic state and the Bible?

dont listen to ALOT of people.\nusually they dont know all the facts ( about the war and the bible) and are really going on hunches and few passages.\nWhile I'm not saying i dont believe either, its best for you to talk to people who know what they are saying, can give you facts and actually hold a conversation with information rather than " i feel this way, look at whats happening!?"\nwhat about all the world wars and famous infidels.\nNO MAN KNOW THE TIME NOR THE HOUR OF GOD'S COMMING, so people that feel its "soon or near"  really have no idea.\nDoes this mean your are not to prepare your heart for his comming OF COURSE NOT. It just means dont buy the hype.\nyes the bible does say this is bound to happen, but when is not up to us to determine.

Nope.  The current crop of hurricane "J" names that we cycle through are:\nJose, Joyce, Jerry, Josephine, Joaquin, Julia.\n\nJanet, Jeanne, Joan, and Juan were all particularly nasty storms and those names have been retired.


If a Muslim gives you the choice of Islamic execution, do you chose IMPALEMENT, STONING, BEHEADING?

well obviously I'd like to avoid all of them, but beheading is by far the quickest...impalement guarantees 15-20  minutes to live in pain while your stomach acids seep into your chest cavity, and stoning would take forever with a lot of broken bones first, unless someone has really good aim....ya beheading....

You are right and anyone can go to this website to sign a petition to encourage our senators and congressmen to vote against the amnesty, guest worker bill.\n\nwww.stoptheftaa.org/petition\n\nAnd to find out more about D.A. the man on the phone in the above answer by just*a*girl  you can go to this website: \n\nwww.THEAMERICANRESISTANCE.com\n\nbabyxfire -(BELOW) When people enter the USA without going through the proper procedures they are committing a FELONY. It is a FEDERAL LAW. People from other countries are not coming into the USA in such record numbers and DEMANDING rights. They don't HAVE rights, they are not CITIZENS. To give those illegal immigrants amnesty would be WRONG! WE as CITIZENS don't get away with breaking FEDERAL LAWS why should a NON citizen? They should be DEPORTED. Plain and simple.


Do anyone agree w/me when I say women should get pleased first?

I agree. It's a lot more difficult for women to get off than it is for men, and once we've finished then men can focus completely on themselves. It seems to me like that's a win/win situation.


Why the English last names use the Spanish vocals pronunciation?

I don't really understand your question either.  I think you are asking why these names are pronounced the same way as Spanish.  I think they aren't pronounced the same way, but you may not be able to hear the difference.  This is quite frequent for learners of English.  An example is that many of my students can't tell the difference between "live" and "leave".  These words sound very different to native speakers of English but don't sound different to many learners of English.


I love the rain. I guess most people think of it as dreary and depressing, but I don't. I love being out in the rain, and I also love the sound of rain drops gently hitting the roof when I'm sleeping.


Do celebrities Elektra Emerald & Carmen Electra know each other since their names are very similar?

Actress Carmen Electra is almost thirty years older than singer/dancer Elektra Emerald. I doubt they know each other because of the substantial age difference. Carmen is a sex symbol & Elekta is a little girl on the Disney channel. Perhaps one day they will be in a movie together. Elektra will most likely play her daughter and Carmen will most definitely play her mother. (bizarre but intriguing question!)

Who invented toothpaste and when was it invented?

Toothpaste was used as long ago as 500 BC in both China and India; however, modern toothpastes were developed in the 1800s. In 1824, a dentist named Peabody was the first person to add soap to toothpaste. John Harris first added chalk as an ingredient to toothpaste in the 1850s. In 1873, Colgate mass-produced the first toothpaste in a jar. In 1892, Dr. Washington Sheffield of Connecticut manufactured toothpaste into a collapsible tube. Sheffield's toothpaste was called Dr. Sheffield's Creme Dentifrice. In 1896, Colgate Dental Cream was packaged in collapsible tubes imitating Sheffield. Advancements in synthetic detergents made after WW II allowed for the replacement of the soap used in toothpaste with emulsifying agents such as Sodium Lauryl Sulphate and Sodium Ricinoleate. A few years later, Colgate started to add fluoride to toothpaste.


Why do a lot of American Christains approve, support, and participate in War?

That is a good question, ESPECIALLY when God said that he will do away with Wars once and for all (Isa. 2:4, Dan. 2:44) Why would a God fearing person want to go to war if God himself said he was going to do away with wars.  There is no issue about freedom here, because if we belong to Christ, as Christians state, they already ARE free.\n\nAdd on top of that the fact that war is murder and murderers will not inherit God's kingdom  (Rev. 21:8)  True Christians would not go to, or support, war.


Where in the world can we find the most beautiful women?

as a parent, how should i deal w/ a 14 yr. old boy who pretended to like my daughter as part of a bet?

you may want to respect her wishes and let her handle it. i know it has to be hard for a parent to do-- but consider your daughter's perspective. ( i was the kid who got eggs tossed at her, so i know how cruel kids can be...) 14 year olds....think they sprouted from the ground. any parental involvement is generally discouraged by them, and it really may cause her more embarassment. this is an age where kids want to show that they can hold their own.\n\nthe best thing you can do is let her handle it, but be reassuring that it's not her "fault"-- a lot of girls feel that if there were something that they could change about themselves, thigns would be better. let her know that some boys are jerks. chances are, she is not the only one he did something like that to, and he probably has a reputation for being a jerk. \n\nif your daughter is willing to let it go, let it be. however, if this is a part of a pattern of how she's been treated at school... you may want to consider options to intervene.

how do i become a Billionarie Person if i have only 500US Dollars?

To make a billion from $500 there are only 2 options \n1-Create a business\n2-Invest\n\nBut before you launch into either one you need to research the area you plan to pursue. Study the top people in those fields. Read a ton of books. Then once you've read the ton re-read them. Launch into your endeavor. Work your butt off. Lose sleep. Be consistent and persistent. Be accountable to everybody. Have integrity in all of your dealings. Develop a good work ethic. Then maintain all the above for however long it takes (10, 20, 30yrs). \n\nYou do all of that and you'll have your billion.\n\nA lot of the wealthiest people agree that getting involved with a reputable network marketing company (like Quixtar.com) can help a person develop the business skills required to run, maintain and grow a business. \n\nWhat ever you do it's not the $500 that will make you wealthy.

I got this from http://www.extension.iastate.edu/Pages/Excel/excel.html\n\nMicrosoft Excel is a member of the spreadsheet family of software. Spreadsheet software is used to store information in columns and rows which can then be organized and/or processed. Spreadsheets are designed to work well with numbers but often include text. Sometimes text in a spreadsheet is called a label, because it is labeling columns and rows of numbers. Numbers are called values sometimes, and can include numbers for counts or measurements, dates, times, and calculations from numbers. Spreadsheets can help organize information, like alphabetizing a list of names or other text or reordering records according to a numeric field. However, spreadsheets are more often used for calculating, such as totaling a column of numbers or generating a more sophisticated formula to calculate some statistical measure on a list of numbers. \nSpreadsheets and databases are in competition and have similar features. Yet the way they work in the background is different. When you work in a spreadsheet, you view the data you are entering as a section. In a database, you only see the data you are entering--you have to request a report or different display to see more of the information. Other differences are: (1) databases are more often used for applications with long textual entries, (2) very large applications (thousands of entries) are more often handled in databases; and (3) spreadsheets are easier to learn to use and get calculations from than a database program. This latter reason is why many researchers and students prefer spreadsheets for keeping track of their data over databases.\n\nIt is impossible to give a complete listing of applications that can be done in spreadsheets, but they include budgeting displays, checkbook registers, enrollment records, inventories, coded surveys, field and laboratory research data, and financial and accounting applications.\n\nThe capacities of Excel are as follows. You can have 256 columns of information. You can have up to 16,384 rows. That comes out to over 4,194,000,000 cells of information and that's only on the first sheet!!! You can have 16 sheets of information in one workbook, and the number of sheets can be increased, if needed. Excel refers to each file as a workbook, because there can be multiple sheets (pages) in one file.


do you think it's bad for me to learn too many of Nirvana's songs on guitar?

Nirvana is pretty good, and it's cool that you like them enough to learn alot of their songs. My recomendation, learn the more popular Nirvana songs, and your favorite songs, and then branch out to some other artists. If you ever play guitar for your friends, I am almost positive they would rather hear a variety of music rather than just nirvana over and over again.

are there any websites that u can FINANCE rims off of?

Oh man.\nRims? As in car rims that spin and shit?\n\nDude, if you can't afford it don't bother. Most of the world has plain jane rims that came with the car or the store $29.99 special.\n\nSpending money on cars is about as bad as playing the lottery.\n\nWhy don't you think about the rainy days ahead when you will need money for something much more important.\n\nRims never have and never will impress me. I spent $1.29 at the gas station for some stuff called black jack and it is a cloth that makes rims and tires shiny. That did the trick for the price of coffeee.


In the field of Stock marketing. But you should do a lot of hard work studing and GATHERING data about companies and ecconomical situation of your country.

Start with some certain amount and don't mix this money with your other expenditure.


Why are single,straight  filipino men shy or slow when it comes to asking a girl out for a date and dating?

You said it so yourself. It's in the upbringing. It's like the Filipino culture is like that. Filipino men and even women are basically more on the shy type. You should know, you are a Filipino yourself. Though you've been Americanized, so you've been aware of the American culture and for sure have adopted to it. \n\nFilipino men are what you call "Torpe". They are either contented looking at you or are just waiting for a good timing and at least a hint from you that you also like them before they make the first move.

Should Algebra be required for College? Why or why not?

Well, I don't know what you would condider "good, solid reasons". The most simplistic one, which you just aren't going to believe until you've experienced more life, is the simple fact that the average person uses (or needs) basic Algebraic priniciples on a regular basis... no matter what the job or situation.  It's not just something used by scientists, engineers and mathematicians.\n\nSince college is considered "higher education", the expectation should be that an individual entering such an institution should have a general comprehension of a basic concept.\n\nBetter yet... when you go to college, you have to PAY for what they teach you.  Some schools charge upwards of $700 per unit... and most math classes are around 3 units.  If you can get the information for FREE in middle/high school, why pay $2100 for it?  Is that a good enough, solid enough reason?


Good question. You are now in condition red and should be aware of anyone who approaches you. The fact that you found weapons in the place you took cover might mean you've unintentionally ducked in someones hideout. \n\nHopefully your 1911 has a full magazine as you pull it from your IWB holster.

Financial services is a broad term. It could mean stock trading, bond buying, mutual fund portfolio, money lending, mortgage loans, etc. Yet, the financial center of this country is Wall Street in New York City. London, Paris, Tokoyo are others world financial centers. Wall Street is home to three big stock markets in this country, the venerable New York Stock Exchange, the up and coming NASDAQ and Standard and Poor's. To go on the trading floor to buy or sell stocks, you would need a trading license.


The red knight is saying that the blonde is the knight of life. Thus, according to him, the blonde always speaks the truth. Well, the blonde himself states that he is the dungeon. Can the blonde be two persons at one time? From this we know that the red knight is lying and the blonde is lying as well. Therefore, the dungeon, who sometimes speaks the truth and sometimes lies, is in this instance, lying.\n\nNext, the brunnett answers that the blond is the Knight of Death. Thus, according to him, the blond is lying when he says that he is a Dungeon. This makes sense because if he is lying about saying he is the Dungeon, and as we know from above that he is not the Knight of Life since he is not speaking the truth, he has only one option -- Knight of Death.\n\nThis would mean that the blonde always lies. Also, it would mean that the brunette was telling the truth. The red, since he is the only remaining one, can be offered the characteristic of lying sometimes and speaking the truth sometimes.\n\nTherefore: Blonde -- Knight of Death\n           Brunnette -- Knight of Life\n           Red Hair -- Dungeon

could someone tell me about the amount of cholesterol in seafood?

All animal meats will have cholesterol in them, and seafood has more than chicken and some other meats.  But it is a very lean meat with little saturated fat and transfatty acids, which lead to increase in blood cholesterol.  So if you don't have a problem with high blood cholesterol, there is no reason to avoid seafood.  If so, talk to your doctor.


explain why destruction of d CD+4 helper T cells by HIV has such a devastating effect on the immune system?

Well, I dont know if your are looking for a simple answer or extensive article. But i will try to sum it up in a simple fashion.\n\nTwo type of lymphocytes\n\nCD 4 (Helper T cell)\n\nCD 8 (Cytotoxic T cell)\n\n\nCD 8:\nis responsible for protection against and fighting :\nEndogenous Peptides e.g.\nViruses\nIntracellular Bacteria ( thankfully there are not many)\nIntracellular Parasites\nNeoantigens (tumor cells)\nGraft\n\nCD 4:\nis responsible for protection against and fighting:\nExogenous Peptides e.g\nBacteria ( which are neumerous day to day infections and            \n          varied from staphylococuss to anthrax and more; \n          like day to day cold to plaque)\nToxins\n\nHIV hampers the function of these cells and as this branch of immumity gets weaker, other branches are affected to and the individual is severly immunocompromised.


Do you believe in Adam and Eve (the Story of Creation in the book of Genesis)?

Kinda prejudiced in the way you asked, dontcha think?  :-)\n\nThe story of Adam and Eve is a parable.  I don't expect it was meant literally even by the people who wrote it.  I feel very sorry for the small-minded people who have to have the story be "true" in order to see any value to it.\n\nEvery human on the planet has a gene that, if it worked, would make us as furry as chimpanzees are.  It doesn't work, it has a transposon (a type of genetic parasite) stuck in it.  Without that transposon, we'd all have to pay a lot more for shampoo every month!\n\nSo, the question before the creationists is, wherefore doth we have it?  Did God create us with a broken gene, complete with parasite, that we don't even want?  Or were Adam and Eve furry?  So far, I've only found one creationist willing to accept that Adam and Eve were hirsute people.\n\nThere are a thousand arguments like this.  To date, creationists flee in terror from all of them, while presenting the same old, tired, long refuted nonsense in support for their cause.  They cannot explain the pattern of genetic similarity.  They cannot explain how the Great Flood hasn't left the entire surface of the earth salt-infused and sterile.  They cannot explain how any species more complicated than a protozoa survived the flood.  They've got nothing.\n\nResponding to some of the nothing they have:\n\nPopulation Growth:\n\nAssuming a constant rate of population growth is simply naive and silly.  We *know* the population growth hasn't been constant.  Remember the black death?  60% of Europe *died*.  That's not growth!\n\nIf we apply the same argument to fruit flies, we find that the entire earth is covered in fruit flies in a matter of days.  Funny how that hasn't happened.  It's almost as if populations do not experience continuous growth because limits are set by the environment!\n\nAnother fun fact about the constant population growth argument:  If it's true, the Bible LIES!  After all, at the time of Exodus, it says more people left Egypt than existed on earth at the time!\n\nSo, dump the rather silly population growth argument.\n\nDinosaurs:\n\nThere are NO human fossils found with dinosaur fossils.  Not a single one.  You're welcome to point out a specific exception.  There are three sites showing "human" and dinosaur footprints, but Paluxy is a product of wishful thinking and some faking by townsfolk hoping to get more tourist dollars (they admitted this) and the other two (Tuba City and some site in Russia I don't remember) are just really bad fakes.\n\nDinosaurs are not lizards.  Let a lizard grow forever and it will not turn into anything resembling a dinosaur.  This is one of Carl Baugh's silly claims and it causes nothing but ridicule for creationists.  Lizards belong to the suborder Laertes.  They have sprawling legs.  A large lizard has large sprawling legs.  Dinosaurs have legs better mounted. Small dinosaurs have smaller legs.  Small dinosaurs cannot be mistaken for lizards.  (Well, if you're utterly ignorant about biology, I suppose they could.)\n\n(At least Baugh stopped claiming that breathing pure ozone would help you live for hundreds of years, despite the fact that ozone is explosive and poisonous!  But since when has a creationist needed to understand a subject before making declarations about it.) \n\nSea monsters as evidence?  Gee, now that's desperate.  I'm sure you'll present the physical evidence that dinosaurs were fire-breathing next, right?  Sheesh!\n\nOh, and carbon dating has not been "proven wrong".  Not that it matters.  There are thousands of different dating systems.  Carbon dating, by the way, only works on organic materials:  NOT FOSSILS.  Dinosaur fossils are NEVER dated by carbon dating.  So, you're wrong.  Again.\n\nLaw of Angular Momentum:\n\nUm... because other collisions happen?  I know, stunning!\n\nReally dumb argument.\n\nHistoric
