is there any replacement compound instead of acetic/formic/citric/oxalic/.. acides used in dyehomes?

Here are lists of acids.  Most are not practical because they are too weak, too strong, react with the textile, or the biggest reason, they cost too much.  \n\nGive us the criteria for your needed acid and why the acids currently used will not work in your situation.  Your question is not clear.\n\nhttp://www.zirchrom.com/organic.htm\n\nhttp://www.cem.msu.edu/~reusch/VirtualText/acidity2.htm


Do you think there is a link between Bipolar disorder and sexual abuse?

In all of my studies, which were all on my own time, not very many in classes, so perhaps there's something I'm missing. However in all of my studies I have never come across anything stating that fact .\n\nBipolar is not a psychological disorder it's a biological disorder that effects you in a psychological manner. \n\nFrom my understanding some people are more genetically predispositioned to have bipolar disorder due to genetics and family history etc. etc. \nSomething that effects the person in a big way, such as sexual abuse could trigger the person to fall into the depths of the disorder. \n\nSo long answer short, sexual abuse cannot cause bipolar, however if a person is predispositioned to become bipolar and have their issues develop over time then a case of high stress or discomfort such a sexual abuse can give them that extra push into the depths of the disorder.

in a human ventilator how much percentage of oxygen is given?

It depends on the ventilator.  Some ventilators can only deliver 100% FiO2 (fraction of inspired oxygen). Other ventilators have a dial for selecting the FiO2.  On those, you can choose just about any % you want, and the % you select will depend on the patient's condition.


what is the first thing you notice about a person when you first meet someone?

I notice the way they carry themselves(the way they walk) or their posture(the way they are sitting). This can tell you a lot about their personality. If they are all lounged out, they are probably a laid back person. If they are swaggering they probably have a lot of self-confidence. If they are sitting very straight and tall with a lot of posture they are probably nervous. Of course the facial expression and hand positioning factor in also, but the posture or walk is what I notice first. :^)

It just ended with Lois and Clark hearing something downstairs and going down to investigate.  When they get down there, they discover a baby in a cradle wrapped in Superman's cape.  Their parents walk in and they are showing him off...The End.  It didn't really make any sense at all except to give the couple a little happier ending after being told they could not conceive a child earlier in the season.


why is it some girlfriends do not sleep with the boyfriend until a year into the relationship?

Lets see a year is really more than enough time for each person to get to know the other person.  Its good to take that time to see if you even want to be with that person.  A year is full circle and is therefore sacred.  You can take that statement however you want but if more people took that time then maybe more relationships would last.  Its too easy to fall into the sack at the beginning but will it last or was it lust? So i would say its good to wait.  Too many people out there just sleeping around and not thinking about consequences until its too late.


Seriously now: Isn't it alarming the way people write their questions?

why aliphatics are also known as parafins?

Some aliphatics are also parafins, but the aliphatics is a much larger category.  An aliphatic molecule is one that contains only carbon and hydrogen.  A parafin contains only carbon and hydrogen, but in biochemical terms it has a certain structure in a repeating pattern.  The parafins and waxes are part of the lipid category in biology.

IF CHINA ATTACKED THE USA in retaliation for killing it's citizens?

cigarettes are quite simply a lethal drug, the USA exports them knowing that they will kill people.\n\nChina should stop the imports, but then the USA would impose trade sanctions (super 301)\n\nTo summarize, the USA forces this, knowing it will kill people, and only benefit tobacco corporations. sound familiar?


what measure how well the nation economy is doing?

"A country's gross domestic product, or GDP, is one of several measures of the size of its economy. Until the 1980s the term GNP or gross national product was used. The two terms GDP and GNP are almost identical. The most common approach to measuring and understanding GDP is the expenditure method:\n\nGDP = consumption + investment + government spending + (exports − imports)"


In human beings, energy release involves taking in food and chemically changing it by the process of oxidation

YES that is true . when we take in the food  during the process of respiration the glucose is broken down to pyruvic acid CH3COC0OH BY THE process of glycolysis , initially by taking oxygen by cytoplasm . when it gets more oxygen the pyruvic acid enters mitochondria and is converted to CO2 AND H20 . This cycle is called KREB's cyle . the synthesis of ATP molecule takes place in the F1 particle of mitochondria . \nthe equaton is \nC6H12O6+O2---->CH3C0COOH + O2--->CO2 + H20 \nthis process is called aerobic trespiration \nrespiration invoves oxidation of food ....\nPLEASE VOTE IT AS THE BEST ANSWER IF YOU LIKE IT ..PLEASE......\nI THINK I HAVE ANSWERED YOUR MANY QUERIES

I wonder how many people who were in band in school went on to become famous musicians and make a bunch of money? I seem to remember reading a few bios like that. As a musician myself, I  regret that I was too late joining the band. I made up for it by joining the school choir instead, and we had a lot of fun. I wouldn't change a thing.


My fiance and I have been toghether for 6 years.  We know we are going to be together, and I would probably end up losing the ring somewhere anyway..  SERIOUSLY.  If he HAD to get me something, I would prefer he spend the money on something we can have or do together, or put the money he would have spent on the ring into savings.  Because no one should ever get married until they can support each other.  That is what being married is all about.  I don't know why all these KIDS are getting married, but they are living with their parents, or having to call home for money, or having kids...it makes no sense.  My sister got married 2 years ago, had a big wedding, and now she is divorced.  We have been toghether for 6 years, and we are still together.  We just finished college two years ago, and will not be married until we are in a financially stable position to be married.

Currently, how long does it take for deportation to occur once an illegal is picked up?

We Shouldnt HAVE TO DEPORT ANYONE\n\nIf Congress were to pass a law that said, quite simply, that the CEO(ANY EMPLOYER) of any business that was caught employing ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS went to jail for a year - NO EXCEPTIONS - then within a month there would be ten million (more or less) people lined up at the Mexican border trying to get out of the United States And Back To Whatever Country They Came From. \n\nThey WILL NOT Stay If They Cannot Work\nNO Cost For Deportation\nAND They WONT Come Back\n\nIts TOO Easy\nThats Why It'll Never Happen

What are the limits to a Pastors authority in a church? and how do you know he/she's gone to far?

The pastor of a church is to serve the body, not the other way around. They are to line up their lives according to the Word of God, not vice-versa. They should have high moral standards and have a heart after God's own heart. They should always have the church seeking God's face more and have a heart for the lost and suffering. They should not be covetous or greedy for material posessions. They should not have an "eye" for the ladies or gentlemen. They should not tolerate sin and adultery in the house of God. They should preach the full gospel of the Cross of Jesus Christ, His death and ressurrection and always praying that the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ is directing them and is present through the body and services. When they start to boast and brag about themselves, their cars and homes, spending excessive time with single women (if the person is a male) and do not minister to the elderly and always asking for money and materialistic things...run like the dickens and pray to God to lead you to a Holy Spirit directed church where Christ Himself is the Head, and we are the body.  Also pray for those fallen into sin that God will expose it and lead them out to repentance, true repentance.

The BMI range of weight for your height is 135-150 lbs.  You are very close to what is considered a normal and healthy weight, so don't over do it.  You are not fat.  Don't try to lose 30 pounds, you'll be dangerously thin.  Shoot for 10, fine, but stop there, and do it by exercising and eating a balanced healthy diet.  That way, you'll keep it off.\n\nBest to you.

Why is Mel Kiper Jr. the NFL Draft Guru?

He was one of the first media personnel to really study the NFL Draft, back in 1979 when he first did his work, no one really studied the draft, he did a good job with it when he was a kid out of college and then his scouting reports became more popular as his information was correct and teams actually paid for his info on college prospects, I believe he was even hired by the Baltimore Colts.  A few years later he was hired by ESPN.  He was the first expert of the NFL draft and he's been doing it the longest.  Some people have their specialty and when ESPN isn't focused on the draft Mel spends the rest of the year scouting talent and studying prospects. So that's why he's the Draft Expert.


How do you feel about the Iran situation?

I think we need to act.  An air strike targeting uranium enrichment plants combined with covert operations to discover and destroy any hidden nuclear threats would probably work best.  That would minimize civilian casualties and set the nuclear program back for years.  We could then encourage the people to overthrow the current regimen.

What is best method for non ferros tube inspection?

Ultrasonics appears to be a possible way. You can also check on www  GlobalSpec.com  , lots of stuff there.\nI forgot ! Eddy-current testing has been used for many years in non-destructive testing of non-ferrous metals.A probe with an alternating current of a frequency decided by the skin-depth of penetration can be used to measure impedance change near a crack etc. Alternately a dc current could be applied via a probe and possibly use a Hall plate sensor to detect field distortions. The subject is very interesting and there is much relevant work to be done.\nNow in the case of non-metallic materials, we can consider a capacitance measuring device; there must have been work done on this method.


describe 1 way Luther's work separated people?

Having seen your previous question I beleive the Martin luther you are asking about is that of the Lutherian Form of Christianity.\n\nIt could be said that by starting his own faction of christianity that went against the grain of Catholic society he divided what was a united religion, thus seperated people on religous basis.\n\nHowever it can equally be argued that he brought people of similar minds together, he was a theologist as well as "protestant" - Protestor of Catholosicm, and brought to the people he conversed with alot of ideaologies and concept which are available from wesite like Wikipedia.\n\nHope this Helps\n\nWill

If a man came thru your line and hit on you what would you do?

I would ask him to wait one moment and then I would immediately seek my supervisor and ask him to repeat what he said. He probably wouldn't, but I don't think he would bother you again make an effort to come through your line.  I would do that each time he did come through.  If he did a second time, I would stop, grab the closest thing to write on, ask him to sign it and put his phone number on it and report it to the police.  It is sexual harrassment and he maybe stalking you, a pedophile, or a wanted sexual criminal.  By being intimidated by him, you allow him to be in control of the situation.  If you firmly approach him, then he is most likely to stand back.

How do you think the Raiders will do this coming season?

i feel that if the raiders throw the deep ball to moss they will do amazing.\nusing him as the threat that he can be and tossing up that deep ball moss will light up the scoreboard himself. But it also frees up jerry porter by having moss draw the coverage. porter has amazing talent and for the raiders to be succesful the ball needs to be in porters hands as he is a possesion reciever. and again doing this also allows lamont jordan to do some smashmouth running by catching the defense off guard. I also belkieve that bringing in art shell was a really great desicion on the organizations part as he will help the raiders win

Wat do u do when u and ur girl are constanly  Fighting like (talking) and like u love each other?

If you are arguing this badly, you need some help. Who is starting the arguments you or her? If its her maybe she is really insecure, or isn't happy. If its you, are you happy? If you really do love her, and want to make it work, i would get in touch with relate, and talk to someone. You can do this either on your own or together. If you do it on your own she may not be happy and see it as a betrayal. If you want to do it together, talk to her about it, cos she may feel uncomfortable about it. Good luck!

How can I get immigration to deport illegals that cash their checks every day at local gas stations?

I like Skaterboiz answer!  TV is always looking for a good juicy story. I would also contact INS, the local law enforcement, the mayor, the newspaper, your State Representative, your State Senator, your congressman, etc. Basically, I would tell everyone in the entire world and then keep telling them until something is done.\n\nRe the drivers license.  They are here illegally, so I doubt that they even care about the legality of a Mexican license and driving here.\n\nGood luck.  It sucks, but we need to stand strong and keep talking to get our country back!

do you think that the price of crude/gasoline would decrease if we pulled out of iraq or if bush stepped down?

no.\nbecause the root cause of gas prices in the world is shortage of supply.\n\nthis is mostly because oil reifineries conviently shut down or do not produce enough to meet demand. (all compainies have to do is agree to all inflate prices and everyone benifits)\n\nthe other problem is that big countries like China are buying up huge quanties of oil... which make there less supply and thus greater demand \n\nand price jack up...but never underestimate greed\n\nin iraq we control thier oil. if bush steped down cheney would still let the oil companies rip you off.\n\nwhy do you think all his energy meetings were secret and the white went to court to  prevent freedom of information acts

Literacy, how is it important to children and young people??

I am a preschool teacher in Ohio. We focus most of our energies into teaching children beginning literacy concepts at an early age. If children don't know how to read when they begin school, how will they be able to learn any other subjects. This is why children who are behind in reading and writing will often fall behind in other areas even if they are gifted in another area. It is the basis of eveything we do in our lives. Can you imagine what it would be like not knowing how to read? And you must begin to plant the seed at an early age. Even reading to your child is a very big step. They will begin to learn the concepts of print which is one early assessment you can do with young children.

can a person with down syndrome get a drivers license?

Yes they can! I have talked to several parents of young adults with Ds who drive.  Their biggest difficulty was finding auto insurance.  So contrary to popular belief people with Down syndrome CAN do most things other people do.

I need a probono attorney to handle custody of a child that has been w/me since birth?

Most cities have some sort of legal aid kind of place for poor people.  Contact a social welfare office and see if you can get a referral.  Good luck!


go to the dentist and have a thorough cleaning by the hygienist.  Then,  be sure to brush and floss every day.


Is the observance of religious rituals a compulsory part of faith in GOD?

No, quite the opposite. Jesus often criticized the traditions and rituals of the Pharisees because they just burdened man and did nothing to promote a fellowship with God. True faith in God means coming into fellowship and contact with Him--that is the crux. http://tinyurl.com/o44bt


i think he is so hot!! eyeliner,long hair, my kinda guy!!! also cuz he's a rocker which makes him even hotter.


Chances are, yes.\n\n90% of all solar systems are not in a circle so they can not support life.  Of the 10% that are left what are the odds that another planet is moving around a sun where it's not to hot or too cold. Even in our own little solar system there is only one.\n\nSo, if there is life elsewhere, we will never meet them.

Hi there here are some benefits for you.\n\n \n\nThe Benefits of Cod Liver Oil\n \n\nBlood flow – may be aided by EPA and DHA, discouraging blood platelets from sticking together.\n\nBlood pressure – EPA and DHA may help reduce this.\n\nCoronary Heart Disease – risk may be reduced if regular intakes are given.  Research has shown that it reduces the likelihood of blood clotting, makes the heart less prone to arrhythmias (irregular heart beats).  It alters the balance of blood fats in a favourable way and reduces the viscosity of blood, thereby faciliting blood flow.\n\nBones and Teeth – require vitamin D to maintain their strength.  Cod Liver Oil is a good source of vitamin D.\n\nVision – Vitamin A is essential for the formation of visual purple (for night vision).\n\nHealthy Skin and Mucous Membranes – CLO is rich in Vitamin A, the large amount present is beneficial for skin and mucous membranes.\n\nPregnancy – Omega 3 fatty acids are important for the brain development of the foetus.\n\nArthritis – Improvements in the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis have been reported in patients taking fish oil supplements.\n\n \n\nProperties\n \n\nCod Liver Oil contains:-\n\nVitamin A, which is essential for the immune system, bone growth, night vision, cellular growth, testicular and ovarian function.\n\nVitamin D, which is essential for the absorption and utilisation of calcium and potassium, which are required for skeletal growth.\n\nEPA and DHA, omega 3 fatty acids, which are converted in the body to produce prostaglandins that affect a wide variety of physiological processes due to their modulating effect on the action of hormones.  It is thought that EPA and DHA may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.  DHA seems essential for normal brain development in unborn babies.\n\n \n\nContra-indications/Precautions\n \n\nCod Live Oil is probably best avoided by pregnant women, asthmatics, diabetics and people taking anti-coagulants, such as Warfarin.\n\nFish oils can cause nausea when taken initially.  It can be lessoned taking them with meals.\n\nHoped this helps.\n\nCraig - Naturopath.


what is a good website to see a skeletal map of capricornus?

I'm not sure what you mean by a skeletal map.\n\nDo you mean a diagram of the astronomical constellation Capricornus?\n\nIf so, there's a pretty good page here: http://www.astro.uiuc.edu/~kaler/sow/cap-p.html\n\nIf you mean the skeleton of the critter known as the Capricornus, the water goat, that is a mythological creature that never actually existed, like a dragon or griffon, and thus it will probably be difficult to find a skeleton of one.

How come there are only 24 hours in a day?

It's not so much that it's the time for the Earth to rotate as that is pretty constant, but that somebody somewhere (probably something to do with how many times a monk needed to pray each day) split the day into equal parts.\n\nThere are actually many hypohesis, the number of bones in your fingers, using the thumb as a pointing device, factors of 360 degrees.\n\nThere was actually a move to go decimal a number of years ago, 10 hours a day, each hour with 100 mins and 100 seconds


The last game (July 9,06) will be play between Germany and Mexico.What do you think?

I think Germany and Argentina in the final, Germany beacause of home advantage, Argentina because they are good. Don,t fancy Brazil because they have never won the cup in Europe and allways seem to struggle. Would love to see England win, but don't think so.


what is the best state in the usa and why?

This is another opinion question - there is no definitive answer. However, I think it's California for it's weather, scenery, diverse population, culture, access to ports, and liberal-leaning politics.

When this comes to your mind: - \n\n\nAlone as I watch the stars shine,\nI revive you and feel it,\nThis little lonely heart of mine,\nTh’ flame set off, once lit.\nIn this heart th’ scenes linger,\nLost yet determined my thoughts wander,\nWhether my heart a wanderer or a lonely singer?\nWith hopes of retrieving that missed opportunity or singing the story tender.\n\n Thinking ‘bout the past I sit here on the pane,\nCrazy it may seem but I see you everywhere,\nYou’re driving me mad, you’re driving me insane,\nBut its too late, I have entered this love lair.\nAs my mind delineates you running in fields, shinning in stars,\nBut whom am I fooling? That’s just a memory, just a dream,\nThis impact inflict upon me from thou, thou have left th’ scars,\nAs I mark them in allusion to you, in my eyes they gleam.\n\nYour smile I miss,\nYour touch I long,\nJust but a kiss,\nI miss as I sing this sad song.\nDearth of that warmth made this heart lighten black and die,\nAgony, regret, grief, distress; but my heart knows what feel,\nHere in the depths abstruse feelings and hushed memories lie,\nYour extant image, good times of yore, favorable luck wheel.\n\nLove it be?\nI ask to my heart ‘ What answer thou give?’\nA sound heard softly,\nA lost note, yet positive.\nThis blister you have left,\nOn my heart and my mind,\nMy heart you stole, you theft,\nNow in your love I’m blind.\n\nI wish you had not,\nGONE! LEFT! Deserted me,\nYou gave me a new hope, a support,\nYou’re the culprit, not me...\nEre to your departure, before you went,\nIf only, just, with this pusillanimous heart I had,\nTo this grace of luck, creation of destiny, angel God had sent,\nIf, if only had I told you th’ words my heart said...


Can you give me any suggestions concerning OCD (read details before answering, please)?

I've been there.  I have not been diagnosed with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder yet, but I do have trichtotillamania.  Trichtotillamania is very similar to OCD because the thoughts are repetitive.  Whenever I get stressed out, I HAVE TO pluck my hairs.  I am very obsessive about germs and counting, avoiding different things, eating an even number of M&M's or chips....making the table look perfectly even...doing things over and over.  I SHOULD be diagnosed, but it is not so much of a problem since it does not interfere with work or school.  Here's what I would recommend....since most people don't understand how the disorder works....\nObviously, try not to think about things, and if you do start thinking about doing something compulsive then you should focus on that and ONLY that, and do it.  It sounds like you aren't suffering from it as much as others that suffer from our problem.  Your treatment should take care of it, and, yes, it is normal for your therapist to be taking her time.\nAs far as depression goes, I was also diagnosed with manic depression.  My birthmother has bipolar disorder.  I'm not going into the differences.  However, I can tell you that Effexor XR helped me.  It may not help you because it depends on the meds they do put you on.  I had to counter the nervous effects of the antidepressant Effexor, with the anti-seizure medicine Neurontin.  So....let your psychiatrist decide what is best for you.  Do not stop taking your pills and tell your therapist if you feel any different.  Keeping a journal will help you keep track.  I hope this helps.  Good luck!

Help find a Catholic Priest in Kenya, Africa?

Call your local Catholic Church and ask for help.  Each year a Catholic Directory is published which lists all the clergy, diocese, and parishes around the world.  If your local Catholic Church subscribes to this publication, they should be able to look it up!  Keep searching till you find a church that can help!


how would the freezing and boiling points of distilled water and seawatercompare?

sea water = S\ndistilled water = D\nfreezin point = fp\nboiling point = bp\n\nS fp < D fp ~ 0 deg C < 100 deg C ~ D bp < S bp\n\nRemember freezing point depression and boiling point elevation.  If you have problems remember which drops just remember that they salt the roads in winter to help the roads not freeze.


Clinton lied and hurt his wife, another president lied hurt millions,how does this work?

I assume you are trying to smear Bush and lift Clinton by trying to draw a comparison to Clinton's Perjury (which is a FELONY, by the way) and the War in Iraq.\n\nYour implied argument is invalid, however. When did Bush lie? \n\nWMD's? The intelligence may have been inaccurate, but there was agreement that Saddam very likely had WMD's between USA, Britain, Germany and The UN/IAEA. Is it that hard to believe that a government that trained its scientists on tactics to hide illegal weapons programs from UN Inspectors would move his WMD's to a sympathetic neighbor in the face of a well telegraphed move against it?\n\nKatrina? Watch the videos again. Add to it the videos of Gov. Blanco informing Bush that the levies were holding AFTER THEY HAD ALREADY FAILED. Then you will have the whole story and realize Bush didn't lie.\n\nRemember, lying is a deliberate action of deception. You know, like telling a senate committee that you didn't have sexual relations with that woman when you know damn well you did.THAT WAS A LIE, a lie under oath. Ask Sharon Stone, or@l sex is still sex.


Why do some people on here think it is normal or right to condemn people to burn in hell?

It is written, judge not lest you be judged. I will never say a person is condemned to hell, for we never know what God is doing in another persons life to bring them to savlation. I will on the other hand try to point out through  scripture that the direction, one is taking will lead them to hell, they always have opportunity to change their life.


Are exams meant to test memory ability to relate issues?

In education, certification, counselling, and many other fields, a test or an exam (short for examination) is a tool or technique intended to measure students' expression of knowledge, skills and/or abilities. A test has more questions of greater difficulty and requires more time for completion than a quiz. It is usually divided into two or more sections, each covering a different area of the domain or taking a different approach to assessing the same aspects.\n\nA standardized test is one that compares the performance of every individual subject with a norm. The norm may be established independently, or by statistical analysis of a large number of subjects.


I wish George Bush would take an hour out of his day and explain that to America. I would tune in.


Im getting really bad grades, wat do it ell my parents?

I would be upfront with your parents and show them the paper.  Then I would discuss why you didn't do as well as usual.  Did you understand the content?  Do you need to get some extra help from the teacher?  Your parents will appreciate you coming to them, rather than trying to hide it from them.  Also, if half the class failed, it is apparent you were not the only student who had trouble.  I would ask your teacher about going over the work again.


I own a lawn care company and want to sell. I live in sacramento ca, & hav 50 accounts and equip. how much?

Not sure what a lawn care biz goes for. You should ask the pros at lawnafe.com. Maybe you could find someone that will buy your accounts and you can split up the equipment. They even have a lawn care and landscape equipment for sale forum that you can post for free. I saw several ads there where they were selling their entire buiness but offered to break it up, including the accounts.


How much does a MLB bullpen catcher make in salary annually?

Please do not take the above comments to heart.  There is currently a lot of anti-immigration sentiment in the US, especially among political conservatives.  The media is feeding this xenophobia.\n\nMany US citizens forget that their families were all immigrants at one time.  (Except for Native Americans, of course.)\n\nThere are many ways to begin the immigration process.  If you have any family members in the US, contact them.  If you believe you may be considered a person in need of political asylum because you are being persecuted in your country, visit or write to the American consulate in your country, and tell them about your situation.  \n\nBut first, visit the website I've posted below.  It is the website of the US Citizenship and Immigration Services, and will give you basic information about immigration.\n\nAlso, don't overlook Canada as a possibility for immigration.  Their immigration process is often easier.\n\nBest wishes to you, and my apologies for my fellow citizens who are being less than welcoming.  They make me ashamed.


its a cool jokes but its not funny to me.but keep telling jokes ok.


Any teachers who have quit teaching and gone on to other things ?

I'm in North Carolina, United States.  I am 38 years old.  In 2004, I got blisters on my feet from participating with my class in the annual field day.  The blisters got all infected and resulted in an amputation and a really nasty blood infection which zapped my kidneys.  I've been on dialysis ever since.\n\nI tried to teach while on dialysis, but I just didn't have the stamina to keep up with 19 first graders.  I love them dearly and I want them to have the best.  So, I've gone on medical leave and will resign at the end of the year.  It's so sad because I loved it and I was very, very successful.\n\nWhat am I doing now?  I'm going to school to become a Certified Internet Web Designer. I think I might design some educational sites for children.


who enjoyed seeing the Miami Hurricanes get dismantled by LSU in the Peach Bowl?

i vastly enjoyed the hurricane beat down. my one buddy is a huge cane fan for no reason other then he is a bandwagon fan. so soon i will have to hate Texas. But yes canes are no longer the team they where teams are more physical then they are and they cant handle the heat. Finally the Miami bias is over just because you are fast doesn't make you an athlete


how does a tubular drag chain conveyor work?

Tubular Drag conveyors are used to convey a wide range of powders and bulk solids in the food, chemical, pharmaceutical, mining and wastewater treatment industries. They are an excellent choice for dependable 24/7 operations which require low segregation and/or degradation; complete enclosure for dust control; the handling of high moisture content materials, difficult to handle abrasive materials or ones which may tend to pack / smear; and in situations which may require multiple inlets and/or outlets. They are extremely flexible in plant layouts and integrate well with existing equipment. Bulk materials are conveyed between the sealed-pin chain flights, at virtually any angle, for distances of up to 85 feet vertically, and more than 200 feet horizontally, depending on material bulk densities and required capacity. Flights can be specified in a choice of several materials (depending upon the application) and are easily replaceable. Models ranges in size from 3-inch diameter up to 12-inch with pipe construction of schedule 10, 40, 80, or Abrasion Resistant Lining. Capacities can reach up to 60 cubic feet per minute, with a maximum conveyor speed of 185 feet per minute, for straight run configurations.

A VCUG is usually done for recurrent UTIs.  The patient will be asked to undress from the waist down (pants and panties), and be given a gown.  She will be asked to empty her bladder in the bathroom.  Usually, a preliminary x-ray image will be taken.  The only way to see the bladder and uterers (the tubes that connect the bladder to the kidney) with x-ray is to introduce a contrast or dye.  In order to do that, the patient must be catheterized.  The radiologic technologist or possibly a nurse will do this part of the study.  Your daughter will be laying on her back, with her knees bent and spread apart.  The tech/nurse will clean the outside of the genitilia with a betadine soap and insert a small tube through the urethra to the bladder.  This can be very uncomfortable as the tube is passed through the urethra, but once the tube is in place, your daughter will not know it is there.  It is important that she try to relax her muscles as the tube is introduced.  Tight muscles will make the insertion harder and it will take longer, meaning it will prolong the uncomfortable feeling.  Once the tube is in place, the legs are straightened and her gown or even a blanket will be put over her, so that she is not exposed.  At that point, the radiologist will enter the room.  While watching in real time on a TV screen, the radiologist will start allowing the contrast to fill the bladder, via the catheter.  Your daughter will probably be able to see this as well.  Eventually, her bladder will start telling her brain that she needs to urinate.  We want the bladder to get fairly full.  They are looking to make sure the valves at the UPJ (ureteropelvic junction-where the ureters enter the bladder) are competent.  They should not open and allow fluid from the bladder to enter the ureters.  Once your daughter feels full, she will be asked to pee on the x-ray table.  They will put towels between her legs, and she will be covered.  Peeing on the table is important, because sometimes with the pressure, the urine will leave the bladder and enter the ureter.  IF a patient cannot pee on the table (and some cannot for modesty issues), we will take out the catheter tube and have her pee in the toilet in private.  After emptying the bladder, she will be asked to hustle back to the x-ray table for a picture to make sure there is no contrast in the ureters.    There really is no side effects post procedure.  She will not leak contrast or have pain.  So whatever she wants to wear is fine.  The worst part of this study is the embarassment of the catheterization.  And as long as you are not pregnant, you should be allowed to wear a leaded apron and stay in the room with her, if she wishes.\n\nAnother good idea:  When they catheterize your daughter, you can get a "clean catch" of urine.  Make sure they give you some of this clean catch for testing.  When you urinate into a cup, it is possible for contamination from the labia etc.  A clean catch is just urine, and nothing else.  Our pediatric group in town always wants the parent to bring a clean catch to them so they can test it for bacteria.  Find out if this is something they want you to do before the procedure begins.  It may save your daughter from having to be catheterized for a clean catch later on.


Who was the winner of the First World Cup in Soccer, held in Uruguay 1930?

I bet the guy asking this question is an uruguayan, and he knows the answer. But we wants for everybody to remember that Uruguay won the cup that year. And I don't blame him, it is 56  year since they won the last time. And it will be at least 60, because  they aren't in this one.

How many milligrams of neomycin are in 250ml of a 1% neomycin solution?

Hope you didn't turn in your homework based on the friendly_doc answer!  It's wrong.  1% means 1g per 100 mL.  Therefore, in 200 mL, there will be 2g.  So the correct answer to the question is 2.5 grams, or 2,500 mg.


In 1676, by a Danish astronomer, Ole Römer, working at the Paris Observatory. He had made a systematic study of Io, one of the moons of Jupiter, which was eclipsed by Jupiter at regular intervals, as Io went around Jupiter in a circular orbit at a steady rate. Actually, Römer found, for several months the eclipses lagged more and more behind the expected time, but then they began to pick up again. In September 1676,he correctly predicted that an eclipse on November 9 would be 10 minutes behind schedule. This was indeed the case, to the surprise of his skeptical colleagues at the Royal Observatory in Paris. Two weeks later, he told them what was happening: as the Earth and Jupiter moved in their orbits, the distance between them varied. The light from Io (actually reflected sunlight, of course) took time to reach the earth, and took the longest time when the earth was furthest away. When the Earth was furthest from Jupiter, there was an extra distance for light to travel equal to the diameter of the Earth's orbit compared with the point of closest approach. The observed eclipses were furthest behind the predicted times when the earth was furthest from Jupiter.\n\nFrom his observations, Römer concluded that light took about twenty-two minutes to cross the earth's orbit. This was something of an overestimate, and a few years later Newton wrote in the  Principia (Book I, section XIV): "For it is now certain from the phenomena of Jupiter's satellites, confirmed by the observations of different astronomers, that light is propagated in succession (NOTE: I think this means at finite speed) and requires about seven or eight minutes to travel from the sun to the earth." This is essentially the correct value.\n\nOf course, to find the speed of light it was also necessary to know the distance from the earth to the sun. During the 1670's, attempts were made to measure the parallax of Mars, that is, how far it shifted against the background of distant stars when viewed simultaneously from two different places on earth at the same time. This (very slight) shift could be used to find the distance of Mars from earth, and hence the distance to the sun, since all relative distances in the solar system had been established by observation and geometrical analysis. According to Crowe (Modern Theories of the Universe, Dover, 1994, page 30), they concluded that the distance to the sun was between 40 and 90 million miles. Measurements presumably converged on the correct value of about 93 million miles soon after that, because it appears Römer (or perhaps Huygens, using Römer's data a short time later) used the correct value for the distance, since the speed of light was calculated to be 125,000 miles per second, about three-quarters of the correct value of 186,300 miles per second. This error is fully accounted for by taking the time light needs to cross the earth's orbit to be twenty-two minutes (as Römer did) instead of the correct value of sixteen minutes.


If I understand your question, a functionalist approach to the law states that it is better to interpret the laws so that they work efficiently, even if they don't quite allow such an interpretation. A formalist approach would require you to interpret the laws as they are written and not try to inject any subjectivity into it. In other words, the judge is stuck with the law as the legislature has written it.

What is the purpose of restriction enzymes in a DNA Strand?

Your question is a little poorly phrased. I'll dissect it and answer the two alternatives. Restriction enzymes cut DNA at palindromic sequences. Since there are only 4 bases, palindromic sequences do abound in DNA. If you are asking what is the purpose of restriction enzyme sites on a DNA strand, there is none. It's just a convention that we scientists can utilize, unless we've engineered a plasmid with restriction sites precisely where we want them (multiple cloning region). If you are asking what is the purpose of restriction enzymes outside of being a biotechnology tool, RE evolved as a bacterial defense mechanism; sort of a bacterial immune response. Bacteria are where we got the original restriction enzymes from (nowadays we can design new ones that are really specific for what we want) and they use RE to cut up the DNA of bacteriophage that are infecting them, preventing the bacteriophage from becoming lytic and killing the bacteria.


What is your question?  This does not make sense.

i would like to have chest hair or to become more hairy. what can i do. and what is the most effective way.?

Thats not true... Shaving has no effect on how fast or thick your hair grows. When you shave, the only thing it effects is perception. Your hair will grow at a different angle making it look thicker. The only thing that decides how thick your hair is or how fast it grows is genetics. If your father is hairy, then theres a good chance that you will be. Like with my dad, he is part indian and has hardly any body hair. I guess you could look into some medicines that help but frankly... go with the clean body, girls find it more attractive in the long run.


Even if you do not like Pres. Bush , Do you support our troops?  They are someones family.?

Yes, I support the troops, I used to be one. Blaming soldiers for going where the elected leaders send them is ridiculous. Blaming the Soldiers is the easy way out, if someone disapproves of what the soldiers are doing they should address the issue with their elected leaders, that’s the way this country works.


Hindi Comics fans & people from all over the world, can you settle this fight- Nagraj Vs Dhruva (see details)?

Lol. It is so nice to hear about them after such a long while. I felt a lil' nostalgic as well.Well RAJ COMICS under whose license these superheroes are would never allow either of them to win. Dhruva has the brains and Nagaraj the better known of the two of them has the brawn. So they stand an equal chance.\n\n However my personal favourite remains Dhruva. Is Chandika still there. Lol.

There's a couple of things you can do. Go to the most exclusive, private country club in your area, and offer your services. Talk to the proshop and let them know you want to learn.  Secondly, watch for amatuer tournaments in your area, things like city championships, state qualifying tournaments, etc. Go there a day early when players are practicing and hang around the putting green or driving range, offer your caddying skills.


who are better army special forces or navy seals?

There are no better or best. There is bragging among the membres of the various groups, but only in a joking way the way you would brag about your high school being better than another high schoool.\n\nThe two groups are both elite in their service, Special Forces in the Army of which I was once a member and the Navy Seals. \n\nThey are trained for two different missions, but both are highly trained units with lots of the latest weapons, escape and evasion techniques as well as languages of various regions.\n\nSpecial Forces are taught to jump from airplanes as well as helicopters to secure an objective,like airports, ammo dumps, political buildings, recapture prisioners. They also gather intelligence of ground troup strenght or an area. They might also be sent in to train the people from a certain country and set up groups to fight.\n\nSeals do the same but mostly in and around the sea or other water areas, though they might also find themselves on the ground doing a job also.\n\nSo to say that one is better than the other is not something that you can compare,since each are given different missions and goals to accomplich.\n\nA person should be proud if they are selected to become a member of either of these highly trained units. They are also opened up to women now. You must join the Army to become a memeber of Special Forces and the Navy to be selected to be a Navy Seal\n\nI hope this has been of some use to you, good luck

If we evolved from monkeys, how come monkeys themselves didn't evolve and we still have monkeys on this earth?

Sorry to be picky, but we didn't evolve from monkeys, we evolved from apes!\n\nModern monkeys aren't the same as our and their common ancestors, they have evolved too! They've just changed in different ways to adapt to their environment. Evolution has made them very well adapted to living in trees, e.g. long prehensile tails and both "hands" and "feet" that can grip. Note that humans don't have these marvellous adaptations!\n\nWe got bigger brains, tool-making and language skills, and the ability to walk upright, which enabled us to thrive in environments that monkeys would struggle to survive in. But you try living in a tree and eating bananas all day and see how well adapted you are to that! Evolution has just treated us differently, that's all.


The system restore could possibly have restored your system to a point prior to installation of the webcam. Try the following:\nPower down your pc.\nUnplug the webcam.\nReboot\nUninstall the webcam software and drivers, and if you know where it's folder is, delete that too.\nReboot\nReinstall the webcam's software and drivers, but don't connect the webcam untill it tells you to. (You may have to reboot again before you plug in the webcam)\n\nHopefully, this will work - if not, then yes, take the cam back and get a new one!


Why do 50 000 Irish people  prefer to live non-legally in the USA ??

There is a very close affinity between Ireland and the US, caused from decades of emigration across the Atlantic. Many Irish families have relatives living in the US, so the option has always been there for young people to emigrate even if there was work in Ireland for them. For a lot of Irish, moving to America is a lot easier than moving to Germany due to these strong family and friendship connections, and because of a shared language and somewhat similar cultures. \n\nI guess also that if someone has been living in the US for 10 years they would have broken many of their connections with Ireland, while building up much stronger connections (jobs, friends, families, lifestyles, business) in America. Therefore it would be difficult to leave America for a variety of reasons. \n\nEven in the Ireland of today, it would still be relatively difficult to get a job if you have no skills and a poor education. Some people might also leave Ireland because of bad family situations - we're a small island after all.

who made joanna cameron s costume for the isis tv series?

i have no idea!!!!!!!search it on google!!!!


Wow...great idea sweety but it is alot of hard work, first of all you need to find *donations* within your community, such as business, tell them it is for a benefit. They can donate gift certificates, cash etc...etc..These will be donated at the poker run as door prizes you sell tickets for these the day of the run.You set a time for the poker run and the route , you must also have atleast 2 dead riders with trailers, these are usually 2 pickup trucks with a trailer and tools, and someone who is a lil mechaniclly inclined to pick up bike riders who have broke down and follow the bikers all the way. You have too designate 4 stops (usually bars) where you made arrangements with the owners to punch each bikers envelope with a certain hole punch, before continuing to the next stop.We usually began our yearly toy and poker run at 7a.m. til 2 a.m .The poker run leaving at 10:30a.m on a 100 mile round trip, but while the riders are gone on the poker run there was games and tattoo artist, back at the place it is held. Posters were placed 2 weeks prior the event, and you need to get ahold of venders such as hot dog stands , nacho stands, crafts, anything you want and they in turn donate a percentage of the sales to you.


Please don't take this question offensively, fans of U2...but could Bono be none other than...?

The way I understand ancient geography, the antichrist will probably come from central Europe, like from one of the former Soviet states. Also, he will most likely be a politician, and will need to be much more charismatic than Bono if he is to fool the entire world as the Bible says he will. I don't particularly care for Bono, but I don't believe you need to worry that he is the antichrist.

Where is your favorite place to have sex?

In the sauna after it's had about 30 min to cool down.  \nI did this in 2001, once, on an Alaska cruise ship.  Ever since then the cooling sauna is the best.  The smell of cedar and sex......  \nAfter a couple of martinis my girl and I snuck in the spa after the spa was closed.  The cruise ship was rocking and lockers were slamming shut, then swinging open, then slamming shut. We were the only ones in and were hoping the whole time that someone would/wouldn't walk in.  Hot.


my husband says most people my age don't mess with a computer, can I ask you how old you are.?

Back in the old days, we did this using chalk rocks writing on the cave walls.  Then gradually as time passed we started using ink and feathers, then pencils, and then typewriters, and then finally someone invented the computer.. THANK YOU!!\n\nOk, so I'm not that old, I'm 46.\n\nI have clients ranging from under 10 to over 90, and it's very common for us to sell a "first" computer to someone in their 60's and 70's.\n\nSo, as long as you're breathing.. you're young enough..

Why do planes, boats, ships and other transport dissapear and have been dissapearing over Bermuda's triangle?

Studies have been conducted rationally, objectively\nand scientifically on the so called Bermuda triangle\nphenomenon. When you consider the intensity of storms, the frequency of storms, the incidence of various natural and turbulent ocean currents and the high amount of air and marine traffic, it's quite normal that there should be a high rate of accidents and disappearance in that area.\nBut so long as there are hungry readers for super natural\nstories there will be journalists and authors eager to make a buck. These writers are the same kind who sensationalize\nand fabricate stories of alien abduction, bigfoot, Lock\nNess Monster and alien creation of crop circles. The real\nphenomenon here is a sociological one. And that is, the need\nthat people have to believe in the unbelievable and how\nit thrives on ignorance.

Does a 3 year Bachelor degree from University of Auckland (New Zealand) equals to a 4 year degrees in USA?

It depends.  Many programs from Australia or the UK do transfer, however it depends whether ur school is accredited or not or whether the classes u took meet the requirements of the university u wish to study at.  3 years is a very short time to study, but if u took the appropriate number of classes, then i shouldnt be a problem, it all depends on the particular university and their degree program requirements.  GOOD LUCK!

Are evaporated bleach crystals explosive, at all?

Anhydrous NaOCl is highly explosive.  However, crystals are hydroscopic, and will absorb water from the air to form the pentahydrate, NaOCl•5H2O, which is not explosive.\n\nWithout special equipment, you will not be able to make the anhydrous form.


I need a schematic on how to make your own Power Plant using coil and magnets. Where can I go or do you have1?

Look up "alternators" on science project websites. Proper alternators use carbon brushes to connect a spinning coil inside a half cylindrial magnet. For a science project, the easiest apparatus is just a bar magnet spinning inside a fixed coil. The magnet spins, and produces alternative current in the coil. Use a diode to convert the AC into DC.


Who is accredited with establishing the universal time line BC/AD and what year was it established?

The Anno Domini system was developed by a Scythian monk named Dionysius Exiguus in Rome in 525, as an outcome of his work on calculating the date of Easter. Byzantine chroniclers like Theophanes continued to date each year in their world chronicles on a different Judaeo-Christian basis — from the notional creation of the World as calculated by Christian scholars in the first five centuries of the Christian era. These eras, sometimes called Anno Mundi, "year of the world" (abbreviated AM), by modern scholars, had their own disagreements. No single Anno Mundi epoch was dominant. One popular formulation was that established by Eusebius of Caesarea, a historian at the time of Constantine I. The Latin translator Jerome helped popularize Eusebius's AM count in the West. Another formulation, dominant in the East during the early centuries of the Byzantine Empire, was developed by the Alexandrian monk Anninus.\n\nAnno Domini (Latin: "In the Year of the Lord"), abbreviated as AD or A.D., defines an epoch based on the traditionally-reckoned year of the birth of Jesus of Nazareth. Similarly, Before Christ, abbreviated as BC or B.C., is used in the English language to denote years before the start of this epoch.\n\nThe designation is used to number years in the Christian Era, conventionally used with the Julian and Gregorian calendars. More descriptively, years may be also specified as Anno Domini Nostri Iesu Christi ("In the Year of Our Lord Jesus Christ").\n\nThe numbering of years per the Christian era is currently dominant all around the world in both commercial and scientific use. Presently, it is the common international standard, recognised by international institutions such as the United Nations and the Universal Postal Union. This is due both to tradition and to the fact that the solar Gregorian calendar has for a long time been considered to be astronomically correct.[1]\n\nIn English, usage copies Latin by placing the abbreviation before the year number for AD, but after the year number for BC; for example: 64 BC, but AD 2006.\n\nThe first historian or chronicler to use Anno Domini as his primary dating mechanism was Victor of Tonnenna, an African chronicler of the seventh century. A few generations later, the Anglo-Saxon historian Bede, who was familiar with the work of Dionysius, also used Anno Domini dating in his Ecclesiastical History of the English People, finished in 731. In this same history, he was the first to use the Latin equivalent of before Christ and established the standard for historians of no year zero, even though he used zero in his computus. Both Dionysius and Bede regarded Anno Domini as beginning at the incarnation, or conception, of Jesus, not his birth approximately nine months later (Annunciation style).\n\nOn the continent of Europe, Anno Domini was introduced as the era of choice of the Carolingian Renaissance by Alcuin. This endorsement by Charlemagne and his successors popularizing the usage of the epoch and spreading it throughout the Carolingian Empire ultimately lies at the core of the system's prevalence until present times.\n\nOutside the Carolingian Empire, Spain continued to date by the Era of the Caesars, or Spanish Era, well into the Middle Ages, which counted beginning with 38 BC. The Era of Martyrs, which numbered years from the accession of Diocletian in 284, who launched the last yet most severe persecution of Christians, prevailed in the East and is still used officially by the Coptic and used to be used by the Ethiopian church. Another system was to date from the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, which as early as Hippolytus and Tertullian was believed to have occurred in the consulate of the Gemini (AD 29), which appears in the occasional medieval manuscript.\n\nEven though Anno Domini was in widespread use by the ninth century, Before Christ (or its equivalent) did not become widespread until the late fifteenth century.

would it be lesser for an asian gay men incomparison to a caucasion be accepted by his boyfriend's parents?

Please don't mis-interpret this answer, I am not being a homophobe or anything!! To be honest, I think from your boyfriends parents point of view, your sexuality will over-ride any issues of race. For example, if they are fairly close minded and prejudiced, then they won't accept you on the grounds that you are gay, your race won't come into it. Similarly, if they do welcome you, this means that are open-minded people who won't have an issue with your race since they didn't have a problem with your sexuality. So in short, no I dont think it is harder for non-caucasions, but I imagine it is equally hard for all gay men

Since it is an Emachine under warranty apparently you will just have to deal with the hassle of them sending you part by part. Next it will be a new motherboard, then new RAM, power supply... Companies like that don't really troublshoot, they just have you rebuild the computer until something works - at least thats what Dell usually does.

Again, anything less won't help.\n\nI also HIGHLY recommend a diet called SugarBusters.  It was made specifically for women with PCOS.

Can someone point out the similarities between Saddam's and Bush's regimes.?

If the President truly believed that "Saddam was a tyrant and used violence to exacerbate sectarian divisions to keep himself in power, and that as a result, deep tensions persist to this day", then why did he fail to send enough troops to keep the warring factions under control? Since our invation in 2003, almost 2400 of our brave sons and daughters have died in this misadventure. I think it is appropriate to ask President Bush to explain why he was unprepared to deal with the sectarian strife since he knew that Saddam's dictatorial polices sowed the seeds of civil war. Or, is this something he just got briefed on.


What will I need to run 3 phase 208V machines with 480V coming into the building?

First of all, you cannot turn a 240 V, 200 A service into a 480 V, 200 A service with a simple 3 phase transformer. In a transformer, power out (roughly) equals power in. If you put 83 kW in, you can't get 166 kW out. You will have your electric company run a new 480 V service for you. From "your side" of the service, you will have to have a licensed, qualified electrician make sure that all breakers, wiring, fuses, and other components are rated for 600 volts, so you may not be able to use your existing breaker box, or even the wire feeding it. All of your existing wire to motors and other 240 / 480 VAC devices should be of ample ampacity, as a motor draws half of the current at 480 than at 240, but again, it may be wired with 300 V wire that does not have insulation rated for 480 V circuits. Another investment would likely be a step-down transformer for your electrical outlets. You won't be able to go phase to neutral anymore, as that would get you 277 VAC (in a 4-wire Y system). Make sure that your qualified electrician complies with all local codes, as well as the NEC. Good luck!


god created the universe so he created good and bad.god created us,so god must know how we work,then how can..

1) Ok, as to the answer of “God creating evil / bad” here is a story recounted by one of the users on yahoo answers. Unfortunately, I don’t know her Id, so I can not give her due credit for this wonderful story. I had loved it so much that I printed it out and pasted it in my notebook. With my apologies to the writer, here it is (abbreviated, since I had to type it and it’s long):\nThe university professor challenged his students with this question:\n“Did God create everything that exists?”\nA student bravely replied, “Yes, he did.”\n“If God created everything, then God created evil since evil exists, and according to the principal that our works define who we are, then God is evil.”\nThe professor was quite pleased with himself and boasted that he had proven once more that religion was a myth. \nAnother student raised his hand and said, “Professor, does cold exist?”\nThe professor replied: “Of course it exists. Have you never been cold?”\n“In fact sir, cold does not exist. According to the laws of physics, what we consider cold is in reality the absence of heat. Absolute Zero is the total absence of heat. Cold does not exist. We have created this word to describe how we feel if we have no heat.”\nThe student continued: “Professor, does darkness exist?”\n“Of course.”\n“Once again you are wrong sir. Darkness does not exist either. Darkness is in reality the absence of light. Light, you can study, but not darkness. How can you know how dark a certain space is? You measure the amount of light present. Isn’t this correct? Darkness is a term used by man to describe what happens when there is no light present.”\nFinally, the young man said: “Evil does not exist sir, or at least it does not exist unto itself. Evil is simply the absence of God, just like darkness and cold; a word that man has created to describe the absence of God. God did not create evil. Evil is the result of what happens when man does not have God’s love present in his heart. It’s like the cold that comes when there is no heat or the darkness that comes when there is no light.”\nThe professor sat down.\n\n2) In relation to God punishing us for doing bad things…he does not. He knows that we will make mistakes; the problem is not when we do bad things…the problem is when we don’t REPENT. Repentance is in actuality, you learning from your mistakes and GETTING BETTER. In this life, we do wrong and receive the wrongs of others and through the two; we learn, understand, hopefully become compassionate and move on as better people. Those who get worse are not those who do the MOST wrongs; they are those who are blind and ignorant of that fact and so they never repent…they never LEARN…they never evolve…they never get better! In Islam for example, as long as you repent, God tells you to be ASSURED that you will be granted mercy every single time! God NEVER refuses repentance, no matter how many times you do the wrong and no matter how many times you return over and over to the same wrong as long as when you repent, it comes from the heart…because He knows that it is through it we know His mercy and learn to be tolerant and merciful ourselves with others; for we are ALL fallible by nature. \n\n3) As to the question of ‘why did he create the world’? Usually, but not always of course, those who think that the world is a horrible place are the ones who ask that. The worst things that happen to us or are committed by us to others are all in themselves opportunities in reality either to give us or others the chance to learn and be better…and that applies to the hardest and the worst of scenarios and obstacles. How many times have we heard someone say: ‘getting fired was the best thing that ever happened to me’ when in reality at the time of that occurrence, that person was utterly devastated. ONLY those who wake up from the initial shock of the ‘bad’ occurrence in their lives and make the willful dec

Do you think the government is creating (viruses/diseases) to control the human population?

I'm honestly surprised with people's answers here.  I do not completely disregard the idea that the gov't might be implementing a harsh and cruel population control system.  Population is increasing exponentially.  Every year, the growth rate increases, not just the growth.  So, not only are we getting more people, but we are getting more people faster.  \n\nRefer to this graph:\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:World_population_history.png\n\nEven though the graph does not show the most important aspect, the change in population from the 19th century to the 20th, it does show how 50 years ago we had 1/3 of the population we have now.  This is a problem and I could understand that the gov't might be trying to control us with disease.  \n\nPeople also tend to forget that a "perfect" society (as defined by healthiness) would be a poor one.  Disease and the health system is a money system.  The presence of diseases creates jobs. Such as how many other natural disasters and problems creates jobs.\n\nSomeone said that nature is holding us back.  I would like to see some stats on that because all ive heard is that our growth rate has been increasing.\n\nIm not throwing the idea out the window, yet i do think its far-fetched.

Hitler's religion is described here: http://www.nobeliefs.com/hitler.htm  It seems to be largely unknown, but mainly Christian with a healthy dose of mysticism.  He was raised as a Catholic, and vocally denounced athiesm (http://www.infidels.org/library/historical/unknown/hitler.html)\n\nOther officials within the Nazi regieme were Christian, mostly Catholic although certainly plenty of Protestants, too.\n\nNow (as someone else already mentioned) there is a "Nazi mysticism" movement, about which you can read more at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_mysticism


The most important reason for the best-fit line being straight is that you can find the slope of the line very easily.  Depending on what you are graphing, the slope can be very significant.  For example, if you plot distance vs. time, the slope is the velocity.  If you plot velocity vs. time, the slope is the acceleration.  In general, the slope will tell you the rate at which the responding variable is changing, which is almost always important.  In fact, this is very often the reason for making the graph in the first place, and at the very least provides an important tool to analyse experimental data.

What little I know of the awesome Cris Abrego (there's no "h")... he used to work for Bunim-Murray before striking out on his own as a producer (alongside Rick Telles) on Mtv's FEAR (a series created by Kunes/Manert and produced under the eye of Beau Flynn and Dawn Parouse's company, Bandeira) in Fall of 2000.  \n\nAbrego now produces as part of a company called MindRing, the name being a composite of partner Mark Cronin's "Mindless Entertainment" and Abrego's "Brass Ring," after inking a deal to produce seven series for VH1 over a two year period beginning in June of 1995.\n\nOn a side note --- Abrego is an intensely private but very cool and personable guy.  He actually gave me my first-ever writing job, a break for which I'm eternally grateful.

Which Victorian AFL teams should go so that more teams from rest of Australia can be in the competition?

I would think that the kangaroos moving up to queensland to form the northern kangaroos seems like a logical move financially for the club and the comp. There isn't a big enough fan base to move a club to Tassie so i think the hawks and saints will stay. The only other option is a second team in Sydney or a team in Canberra...I think that the canberra option may be passed its used by date (especially if the kangas move to qld) but sydney will probably get another team in the next 10 years or so...How does the Sydney Saints roll off the tongue?
