What are real world applications of trigonometry and where will I use this in real life?

Mainly in architecture (though computers do most of the work these days...).\nAlso, I have a friend who is an artist, and when she creates 3d work (sculptures, interactive art) she uses trigonometry and extremums to decide certain things (the best angle for a part of the work, how to use minimum material when she doesn't have a big budget etc.).\n\nBesides, it's pretty fun, if you like math.


Can I get any good info on Mt. St. Helens?

The site below is the official website.\n\nAt 8:32 Sunday morning, May 18, 1980, Mount St. Helens erupted. \n\nShaken by an earthquake measuring 5.1 on the Richter scale, the north face of this tall symmetrical mountain collapsed in a massive rock debris avalanche. Nearly 230 square miles of forest was blown down or buried beneath volcanic deposits. At the same time a mushroom-shaped column of ash rose thousands of feet skyward and drifted downwind, turning day into night as dark, gray ash fell over eastern Washington and beyond. The eruption lasted 9 hours, but Mount St. Helens and the surrounding landscape were dramatically changed within moments. \n\nIn 1982, the President and Congress created the 110,000-acre National Volcanic Monument for research, recreation, and education. Inside the Monument, the environment is left to respond naturally to the disturbance.

Is there any way to use an ipod on a computer while still using Windows ME? Itunes won't work - what will?

Windows ME sucks.  It's very unstable and prone to crashing.  I would recommend trying to upgrade to XP.  Contact your computer manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba, etc...) to see if your computer will allow an upgrade to XP.  You usually have to upgrade the BIOS, which can be done through the manufacturer's website.\n\nIpod software works in XP

What is the difference between \n and \r in the C language?

"\n" is a linefeed, or ASCII value 10.  "\r" is a carriage return, or ASCII value 13.\n\nLong ago, with teletypes, a carriage return would return the print head to the beginning of a line, whereas the linefeed would move the platen up a line.\n\nIt is common to see a carriage return linefeed pair "\r\n" used to delimit lines in a DOS or Windows text file while Unix text files delimit lines with only carriage returns ("\r").\n\nTypically though, the combination of "\r\n" on the teletype was to return the print head carriage and then turn the platen to feed the paper to the next line to begin printing.  (Some old daisy-wheel and dot-matrix printers worked this way as well.)\n\nWhen displaying to the console, typically only a linefeed character is necessary, and in 'C', strings sent to the console using printf() are terminated with a linefeed (example: "hello world!\n").


Why do places near the equator have little temperature variation throughout the year?

The way the seasons work is that the axial tilt of the earth makes the sun directly above different places at different times of year.  On the summer solstice (June ~21, it is directly above the tropic of Cancer, at about 23 degrees of latitude north of the equator.  On the winter solstice (Dec ~21), it is above the tropic of capricorn, or ~23 degrees south of the equator.  This means that the latitude of the sun changes about 46 degrees over the year.  If you're north of the 23 tropic of cancer, that means that the height of the sun at noon can vary more than 45 degrees in the sky (and remember that 90 degrees is the difference between overhead and all the way down on the horizon; so 45 degrees is quite a lot.  However, if you're on the equator, the sun is never more than ~23 degrees from directly overhead at noon.  It still changes 45 degrees, just like everywhere else, but what matters in climate is not how much it moves, but how far the sun get from the zenith (directly overhead) at noon.  On the equator, it is 23 degrees north of the zenith in June, 23 degrees south of the zenith in December, but never more than 23 degrees away from the zenith at noon, no matter what time of year.  So the sun is almost always directly overhead at noon, no matter what the time of year; in other places, the difference in the height of the sun in the sky at noon (which correlates directly with how much light it shines down on you) is much bigger, so the changes from hot to cold are more extreme.\n\nAnother reason is this: in winter, the North Pole is pointing away from the sun, and doesn't see it for 6 months, while in summer, the north pole is pointed at the sun and it doesn't set for 6 months.  It's similar at the south pole, except in the southern hemisphere winter is in June-Sept and summer is from Dec-March.  But everywhere in between in a slight gradation of the pole, depending on how far away you are.  In Canada, up north, the days are very short in winter and very long in the summer.  In Mexico, there is less of a difference between the length of the day in summer and winter.  But on the equator, the day is always exactly 12 hours and the night is always exactly 12 hours.  Because it is half way between the poles, it will always be the intermediate of the two.  So since one of the major causes of the seasons is that a short day makes it cold and a long day makes it warm, the constant day length on the equator leads to less seasonal variation.

Simply dvivide each weeks proceeds weekly.  Keep it up until you've raised enough money.  Sorry this won't work if you are in a cold state though sorry.

How do you treat bad sunburn? (blisters, etc)?

You could try taking a cold bath, but I guarentee that is going to hurt! I used Icey Hot on a sunburn once, and that seemed to work well. Also, try putting your aloe in the refridgerator. A sunburn is still a burn, and you need to get the heat out of it to stop it from burning. Good luck.

what are nephillims (?) are they the offspring of the fallen angels?

The Nephilim (fallen ones, giants) were the offspring of sexual relationships between the sons of God and daughters of men in Genesis 6:1-4. There is much debate as to the identity of the "sons of God" (see our article on this subject here). I believe the correct view is that they were fallen angels (demons) who mated with human females and/or possessed human males and then mated with human females. These unions resulted in offspring that were "heroes of old, men of renown" (Genesis 6:4). What were the Nephilim? According to Hebrew and other legends (the Book of Enoch and other non-Biblical writings), they were a race of giants and super-heroes who did acts of great evil. Their great size and power likely came from the mixture of demonic "DNA" with human genetics. All that the Bible directly says about them is that they were "heroes of old, men of renown" (Genesis 6:4). The Nephilim were not aliens, they were literal, physical beings produced from the union of the sons of God and daughters of men (Genesis 6:1-4).

What's the best way to straighten teeth?

As a practicing orthodontist, I can offer you the following advice: Seek the services of a board certified orthodontist in your area. Don't go to general dentists or shop prices at "clinics."  The orthodontist will do a complete diagnostic workup, (models, x-rays, photos. etc) He/She will then have a treatment conference with you to discuss results. Invisalign can only work in selected cases. Ceramic braces are for more difficult problems that invisalign can't correct. As a last resort, consider having crowns or laminates placed.  They involve tooth preparation (reduction in size and shape) prior to cementing.\nGood luck.\nNJ orthodontist

How can a fill a combobox in VB with data from a DB?

Since you are going to use a combo box, you will have to bind your recordset to the said control (combo box, or it can be a data grid). You specify the Data Source in the Combo Box control (or whichever control you use), and set the Display Member to the column you wish to display in the Combo Box.\n\n2. Adapted from response by Gibbs On Monday, September 6, 2004\n\nSay you used "RS" as the variable name of the recordset, then you can do\nthis:\n\nDo Until RS.EOF = True\nCombo1.AddItem RS!(FieldName)\nRS.MoveNext\nLoop\n\n3. Adapted from response by Nails On Wednesday, September 8, 2004\n\nIf all you want to do is programmatically populate the combo box, then you don't need to fuss with recordset:\n.rowsource = ""\n\nIf you do create a recordset, its data is in RAM. Use FIND method to go to the record you want (involves a WHERE-like statement), ("") as pointer to specific data element, etc. See help under RECORDSET\n\n\nhttp://visualbasic.ittoolbox.com/documents/popular-q-and-a/populate-a-combo-box-in-visual-basic-2863


What is the best way to ask my girlfriend's dad for his blessing in our (eventual) marriage?

it would be best during on a non-occasion day, so that way, your asking him of your blessing will be the occasion. lay it simple, don't use profound words, be humble and be true to yourself and to your future father in law. do not try to please him, because that would be improbable. don't try to crack up jokes. and tell a little bit of your (you and your girlfriend) plans in the future...\n\nit worked for me...

is there any dental assistants out their?

Make sure to have confidence in yourself and in what you've studied and learned in school and you'll do fine.  The denist you'll be working with is aware that you are still learning and he or she will be a good guide for you.  \n\nAlso, never say "this will only hurt a little" to a patient.  You don't want to use words such as "hurt".  Choose your words carefully to help keep them calm and relaxed.  You may instead want to say, "you may feel a little discomfort"  or "you may feel a little pressure".  \n\nGood luck!  I wish you the best! :)

What is the best way to lose a defender in Basketball? crossover? fake? What?

combos, fake often when he's not alert & dun fake when he's already be faked for a few times, use different variations to make him confuse. Practice reverse layups, it has higher chances that the defender has less experience in guarding a reverse layup.\nGreat Options: \n1. fake & reverse layup \n2. shoot the 1st few scores then mis layups & shoots (creates psycological confusion)\n3. fake & shoot\n4. Lean towards an agressive defender & earn a foul.\n5. crossover, charge towards the goal leading him moving backwards then make a fade.\n6. learn to shoot with your back facing the goal... extraordinary moves always scores extraordinary points & cheers from d crowd =D~\n\nIf you wanna lose more defender, Practice 1 on 1. \nPractice make Perfect! *w|nKz~

who is the catholic patron saint for girls name aubriel?

Usually, the patron is the saint of the same name, and there are thousands in the Canon. But I don't know of a St. Aubriel ...\n\nWhat I might suggest is that you tell her that since you couldn't find a St. Aubriel, she'll have to be the first one :)\n\nAlso, for my classes, when a student who's name isn't "Saintly" yet graduates, I get that person a Trinity Cross. There are lots of styles, but they all have a symbol of the Father in the upper arm, Son and Spirit symbols in the side arms, and usually a Eucharistic symbol in the lower arm. You could have the name "Aubriel" engraved on the back of something like that ...\n\nSecondly, rather than a patron of her NAME, you might find a patron of her INTERESTS. For example, Christopher is the saint of sportsmen(women) and travelers, Thomas is the patron of writers, Francis of animal lovers, and so on.

If someone says they download music illegaly, is that illegal? Meaning, there is no actual proof.?

If someone is dumb enough to brag on TV or in a blog that they download pirated music, then their statements can be used against them in court.  It would also be enough for prosecutors to get a search warrant to search the person's home and computer to gather additional evidence for possibly prosecution.  It would be enough evidence for the recording industry to file a lawsuit and make the same demands to inspect the ocmputer for further evidence.

How do I find the thickness of water? I am only 13 years old and not a scientific genius. Any Ideas?

D= M/V\n\nIts a formula used to calulated to density (thinkness) of an object by dividing the Mass of an object by its volume. In this case, you can use the water displacement method that displaces (water) from its orignal volume by adding an object (marble). Using a balancer, measure and record the weight of graduated cylinder(ml), before and after the addition of water. Subtract the weight of the cylinder with water from the cyliner's weight and you will get the mass. You have to pay attention to how much the water displacement after adding the marble. record the volumes before and after (if ness). This will solve for volume. Once this is accomplished, you would have no problem finding the density.

Why is moon big in horizon and small later in high sky?

http://www.grand-illusions.com/moon.htm\n\nThe Moon Illusion\n\nThe moon illusion is one of the most famous of all illusions. Stated simply, the full moon, when just above the horizon, appears much larger than when it is overhead. Yet the moon, a quarter of a million miles away from the earth, always subtends the same angle wherever it is in the sky, roughly 0.5 degrees.\n\nThe first problem is for photographers. A wonderful picture presents itself, with the full moon just rising above a spectacular horizon. Click, the picture is taken. Yet the result is disappointing. The moon seems much smaller in the photograph than it did when viewed with the naked eye. Even professional photographers fall for this one. Yet on a normal lens, 50mm on a 35mm camera, the field of view is around 50 degrees, and the width of the moon, subtending an angle of 0.5 degrees, will be 100th of the width of the photo! Many photographs that you see in magazines, containing both a moon and a landscape, will be composites. The landscape will be taken with a normal lens, the moon taken with a telephoto lens, to get a bigger image.\n\nHow does this illusion come about? Since the moon always subtends an angle of 0.5 degrees, the image on the retina must always be the same. Clearly the problem is one of interpretation. One simple experiment shows this to be so. A full moon just above the horizon will not appear so large to the human eye if a piece of paper is held up to that eye with a hole in it, so that only the moon can be seen through the hole and not the horizon. If the other eye is open at the same time, viewing both the moon and the horizon, the two eyes will each see different sized moons!\n\nThe explanation is believed to be as follows. We 'know' that a cloud that is overhead will be larger than when it moves towards the horizon. And an airplane that is a mere speck on the horizon becomes large when it is overhead. And we are all familiar with standing under a tree which seems enormous, yet at a couple of hundred paces seems insignificant. It would seem that so much of our world is interpreted this way that we are ill-equipped to cope with an object like the moon, that subtends the same angle at the eye, whatever position it occupies in the sky. And so our brain 'interprets' the image that it 'sees', and tells us that the moon is larger than it really is.\n\nHendrik Ball\n\n\n\nFrom: http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a2_110.html\n\n\nDear Cecil:\n\nI have noticed that the moon (and the sun, for that matter) appears very large just as it rises and sets. When it is overhead, it seems tiny by comparison. The color is also vastly different, but this can be easily explained by the fact that we view the moon through varying ''thicknesses'' of atmosphere as it makes its way across the sky. But this explanation seems insufficient to account for the change in size. So what's the straight dope? --Frank M., Los Angeles\n\nCecil replies:\n\nBelieve it or not, Frank, they've been arguing about this for two thousand years, and it's about time I got things straightened out. First of all, let me make it clear that the effect is an optical illusion. If you measure the moon with a ruler held at arm's length (a paper clip bent into the shape of a calipers will also work), you'll find it's always the same size no matter where it happens to be in the sky. If anything, the moon is slightly smaller at the horizon than it is at the zenith, mainly because it's 4,000 miles (the radius of the earth) farther away. (If you don't understand why this is so, draw yourself a picture.) Nonetheless, most people are convinced that, area-wise, the moon's at least twice as big when it's near the horizon as when it's overhead.\n\nNumerous theories have been advanced to explain the ""moon illusion.'' At one point people thought it had something to do with the angle at which you hold you

Do peoples genetics change during there life?

Great question! Contrary to popular belief, your DNA DOES change constantly during your lifetime. People are constantly being exposed to mutagens, which alter your genetic structure. Every time a cell divides, there is a chance of a mistake during replication. Your body makes mistakes ALL THE TIME. Fortunately, the mistakes are often made on a part of the DNA strand that is not used for anything (the vast majority of your DNA is not used). This is the basis for natural selection.\n\nFurthermore, if someone contracts a retrovirus, the virus imbeds itself into the person’s DNA and literally becomes a part of them. Once this happens, you can never get rid of it because every cell that was born from the originally affected cell will have it in its DNA. Retroviruses are actually pretty common.

How do I loose 40lbs without moral support from friends?

The moral support you need is what comes from within you.  If you are ready to lose the weight you will stick with it and do it.  It doesn't matter what your friends say or do.    \n\nEat sensibly - fruits, vegs, lean meat and fish, whole grains, low fat dairy products.  Drink plenty of water.  Exercise more - build up to a long brisk walk everyday, or most days.  Start a weight lifting routine.  Check out websites about nutrition, weight loss, exercise, etc.\n\nStick with it.  You can do it.  You are the best friend you have.  Good luck.


I was wondering if anyone has tried the new Vonage phone service, and what they think about it?

Well I don't have Vonage but I have Net2Phone. It's cheaper if you don't talk a lot anyway. It's .02 cents a minute nationwide (US). I really like it. The only thing I dislike about it is that it has a slight delay and sometimes you can hear a faint echo of yourself (using headset/phones). Also you can not make out what someone else is saying if you are already speaking. Reminds me of old cell phone services, but, I have never lost a call and you can purchase minutes in increments of $25. Which works well for our household. We have managed to stretch our minutes out for almost 3 months.

how can i import autocad files to corel draw?

It is not as easy as the last person suggested.\nFirst it depends on the versions of both ACAD and Corel Draw.\nSecond it depends on whether or not you want to be able to manipulate the ACAD Drawings in Corel Draw.\n\nIf all you want to do is place the image into Corel than yes you can export them from ACAD as JPG's.\n\nIf you want to be able to manipulate them that is a whole new ball game.\n\nI believe from as far back as Corel Draw 5 there is the option to import ACAD files. Unfortunately it doesn't work that well in any of the versions. yes it can be done but the more complicated the drawing the worse it will translate. The biggest problem bring that Corel Draw will bread ever line segment into individual pieces. That means that all of your curves and and each dash of a dashed line etc... will all come in as individual pieces. That makes for a huge file and lots of crashes because of memory issues.\n\nI have done this a LOT... In my experience it is best to Open your ACAD file. Select only as much as you absolutely need and then cut it out of ACAD.\nIn Corel Paste the object in using "Paste Special" and as a "Picture (Metafile)".\nThen you have to ungroup the ACAD file.\nDelete the Black background and change the line weights and line properties to meet your needs.\n\nMind you depending no how close your are zoomed in, in ACAD will dictate the size your drawings is pasted into Corel Draw. So a drawing scale can change by simply zooming in and zooming out.\n\nHope that helps.\n\nfeel free to let me know if I have confused you.\n\nTodd


What does it mean if I constantly fantasize about the same man while I'm intimate with my husband?

Oh you too hah sista girl.   I agree with Malfean,....deep within (and if you are honest with yourself), you would like to know what it would be like to experience a sexual encounter with this individual you're fantasizing about. Been there and came damb close; however, I've realized that.... this was all I pictured him for (sex and a little intimatcy....hugging - kissing)....there was nothing else....no visions of hangging with friends together, walking in the park, dinner and the movies, sitting up together on the sofa having good dilogue about whatever, bringing the paycheck home to you (hello..).... it was just sex, good sex, more sex and sex....I tried picturing doing other things with him and the imaganation didn't go that far....why???.....well, your soul mate (and that's your husband) have and will probably always supply you with those little things that truely matters. The things mentioned above (hangging together..etc.) will go farther than a good quick fix in the sack. I know it's just fantacy...but sometimes you have to see it for what it truely is...you'll realize it means nothing...so let it go.\n \nNow sometimes our spouses becomes less attractive to us over the years depending on how much they have let themselves go in appearance or how lazy and boring they may have become,...so we fantasize about someone who is just the opposite of your spouse; however, I've learned that if I'm to be in this thing 'til death do us part', I benefit more by talking to him (my spouse) about what we can do to make daily interaction with each other more exciting.... therefore, bring that excitement to the bedroom later on.....\n\nGirrrrllll...look at me giving advise about something I need to work on myself....but non the less, I know it's what I need to do to keep thoughts of other men out of my head when I'm with my husband. (Oooh, I did say other MEN hah....ummm...I mean that man...)..SMILE!!!!.... It's working though.\n\nSo good so far. It may get tough at times, but keep your interaction with each other positive and exciting...laugh a lot...it helps.


Various explanations for the apparent high number of dissapperances have been put forward, ranging from the mundane to the hyper-fantastic.\n\nSkeptics contend that this region has a comparable rate of maritime and aerial incidents as any other similar sized region of the ocean. They point out that Lloyd's of London, a world-reknowned insurer of maritime vessels, does not charge a higher insurance premium for ships that regularly traverse the triangle.\n\nScientific considerations for an increased dissaperance rate take into acount that this region experiences severe tropical storms and is the source of many hurricanes. These storms create an increased danger to both ship and air traffic.\n\nRougue waves have also been put forward as a possible cause. These rare waves can reach heights of as much as 100 feet (30 meters), easily swamping most ships. Rouge waves, however, would have no effect on air travel.\n\nA third scientific explanation is methane hydrates. Methane deposits on the ocean floor may release bursts of methane gas that reduces the density of the water it permeates. Since ships rely on displacement to stay afloat, a reduction of density in the water would cause a ship to immediately sink. As the methane leaves the water and rises into the air, it would reduce the density of the air as well, thus reducing lift on aircraft, causing them to descend rapidly. In addition, the methane would change the air mixture taken into the engines of the aircraft, causing the engine to stall. While these events have not been witnessed in nature, they have been proven in lab experiments.\n\nMore exotic explanations for the Bermuda Triangle include it being an area of magnetic disturbance, temporal (or time) holes, the location of the lost city of Atlantis, or extra-terrestrial abduction.

What kind of "legal highs" does the military allow?

The military does the standard tests that employers do, but they do it on a more regular basis.\n\nRemember too that the "legal" highs are also watched by the military. Pee positive with alcohol in your system while on duty, and look out for being sent to ADAPC for treatment and counseling.\n\nIf you are in the military and looking to get high, then IMHO you should be labeled a dishonorable person. While I was in, we did plenty of drinking in our off duty hours. It was common practice. There were a few who tried to sham the system and do their drugs, and they deserved everything they got when they got caught. Whether that was dishonorable discharge, reduction in rank, or jail time.

The less frequent the use, the shorter the time.

What is a rick-yard? source Charles Dickens Bleak House?

Rick:  A stack of hay, straw, or similar material, especially when covered or thatched for protection from the weather.

how to improve my english phonetic / communication / conversation/ written english?

Toastmasters - http://www.toastmasters.org/\n\nI heard about them for years, and often would people reccommend them to me. I had lots of excuses: \n"I'm an instructor! I talk in front of people all day!" \n"I am too tired when I get off work to add something else" \n"I took Speech class in school"\n\nWhen I finally got around to going I was amazed - it worked! A few tips -\n* Try different clubs as a visitor until you find one that fits. Each club is run by the members - which means that each club is a little different.\n* Once you join, make a committment to stay at least long enough to finish the first book. It will help you work through the rough spots. Because Toasmasters is ongoing, there is no "end" like there would be with a class.\n* Toastmasters really helps you work through your specific issues whatever they are. The variety in my club is not unusual: IT guys, non-native speakers, trainer/instructors, retired, unemployed, FT employed, student...etc. Everyone starts from thier own place.\n\nGood luck!

Why do you think that we have different languages if we were all children of Adam and Eve?

There is the scientific viewing: Adam and Eve don't exist. It is just a Christian belief. \n\nThe Christian theory: Adam and Eve do exist. But the people of earth (their generations) started talking and decided to build a tower that could reach up to the sky to be as high as God himself. God was not happy so he made them all have different languages. They were angry at each other for everybody thought the other was speaking gibberish. The idea was put off because they could not communicate and all of them moved far away from each other. The Chinese talkers moved to China. The French talkers moved to France. and so forth....

I have a question about the MLB All-Star Game?

No, the sport has spread enough that the USA would be slaughtered by a team of World All Stars.  The World Baseball Classic is different because each nation has some players but to consolidate them all against the USA wouldn't work so lets stick to NL vs AL.  I don't care for the homefield in the WS stipulation though.  The team with the best record should have homefield with the exception of a Division winner vs the Wild Card the division winner should always have homefield.


what they do in stock exchanges ?, what are the basic requirements to do stock business ?

They do two things, they trade investments for their own accounts and they trade investments on the behalf of others.  The exchanges are auction markets where buyers bid against buyers for the right to own something and sellers bid against sellers for the right to sell something.  The NASDAQ is technically not an exchange, although the same activity occurs.  The difference is that it operates like a series of stores rather than an auction.  Each state regulates what is required to do business in their state.  Some states place very high capital requirements.  To do business on an exchange, you must first buy a seat from someone who has one.  They usually sell for several million dollars.  To be on the NASDAQ, you must first get accredited as a firm with the NASD and meet all of their data processing requirements.

What is the state color/colors of Minnesota?

I don't believe they have a designated state color. Here's info on the state flag and more info at the link below:\n\nThe Minnesota State Flag is a medium blue color with a narrow gold border and a gold fringe. Centered in the medium blue field is a circular emblem with a white background and a yellow border. Within the circular emblem an inner circle surrounds scenes from the Minnesota State Seal displayed on a field of medium blue matching that of the general flag. The inner circle is surrounded by 19 five pointed stars representing Minnesota as the 19th state, after the original 13 colonies, to join the union. The stars are arranged in four groups of four stars and one group of three stars at the top of the circle. The top star represents the North Star. The five star groups represent a five pointed star. The word "MINNESOTA" is printed in red letters below the inner circle.


how can i construct a triangle if i know the length of the sides?

ok, let the triangle be ABC with sides AB, BC, AC.\ndraw a typical line, get too point on in with the distance of BC, name them B and C. then draw an arc with the center of B and the length of AC and another one eith the center of C and the length of AB. if they had a common point, it would be A and your triangle is there, but if not, there is no triangle with those three sides.


Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) is a technique used to obtain the surface homogeneity of a material. This technique is getting popular in that field of semiconductor because the surface quality of the semiconductor plays an important role in the IC industry. So, AFM is one of the important characterization techniques used today in semiconductor field.  \n\nMain idea:\n\nA photodetector in AFM detector records the bending of cantilever, which reflect the topology and other surface properties. The cantilever is a flexible beam and is used as a force sensor. It is connected to the scanner that can move in three dimensions.\n\ncheck this website to find a very good paper on AFM. \n\nhttp://www.wpi.edu/Academics/Depts/Physics/AFM/Pdfs/PosterIntro.pdf


Should a person with High Blood Pressure take BP tablets throughout his life time (everyday)?

if it is not controled with a change of diet , you probably have to take medication for all your life, but some drs try and lower the dosage after a period of time, and if it does not go up again they may stop it. but even then you should have a healthy diet and check your blood pressure regularly.


I have so many but I guess one that comes to mind would be the Halloween one when he visited his brother that was constantly waiting for their dad to come back home and finally when the brother (who would NEVER leave the house) had to leave the house to go to the hospital because they thought that he had eaten poisoned candy...when they returned home they found a note from their dad on the door. He had actually attempted to come to see them after so many years. It was very touching.


If the sun was the same mass of the earth would the sun revolve around the earth?

Yes they'd revolve around their common center of mass (CM), which currently is located only 280 mi from the center of the sun, the sun's mass being 332830 x earth's.  With equal masses the CM would be midway between their centers.  The CM actually moves a bit due to perturbations from other planets that act on both bodies. \nYou can quickly approximate the new period. The new composite mass (in earth units) is 2 instead of the current 332831, and the radius (in earth-to-CM current  distance units) is .5 instead of (almost exactly) 1.  Kepler's 3rd law says T = (2*pi*R^1.5)/sqrt(G*M), so the new duration of a year is .5^1.5*sqrt(332831/2), or 144 current years, for an orbital speed of 15.3 feet/sec.


Actually, abortion is a safer option for the woman's health than is pregnancy, especially if she's a teenager. Any licensed provider or Planned Parenthood affiliate can provide you with a safe abortion. There is also mifepristone, or RU486, a chemical means of inducing abortion.\n\nWhatever you do about your abortion, do it safely! Do not try to do it yourself at home! Countless women died before the era of safe, legal abortion; don't be a statistic.

Generic medications are the same active ingredient as the brand name. Tylenol is acetaminophen, Advil is ibuprofen...this has no relation to absortion time.

Disclaimer:  I am one of the three engineers who developed DTrace.\n\nThe answer to your question is not really, no.  That said, AIX does have a tracing facility (which you can use via the trace(1) command) -- it just has some pretty severe limitations, especially compared to DTrace.  Specifically, the AIX tracing facility suffers from:\n\n- Statically defined hooks.  (A "hook" is IBM nomenclature for a trace point.)  The number of hooks (~400) is static, and while it includes most obvious sites (system call entry/return; thread scheduling/descheduling; pagefault handling), the number of hooks seems to be simply adequate rather than comprehensive.\n\n- Statically defined actions.  With little exception, the user doesn't have control over the data gathered at a given hook.  Indeed, the only way to determine something as simple as the process ID is to enable the hooks in the dispatcher -- a heavy-handed way of assuring that analysis software can know the current thread at any point in the trace.  It's not worth boring you with the details here, but suffice it to say that the exact hooks that must be enabled are arcane, and the failure mode should you omit one of these is serious:  you get the wrong information.\n\n- No predicate or filtering support.  There is no way of limiting when a hook should record its data.  This is a serious deficiency, for it forces analysis tools to ignore a substantial amount of superfluous data; even Sun's old broken TNF allowed for crude filtering...\n\n- No type information.  The data gathered at a given hook is of undefined type; analysis tools must be able to make sense of the binary data without knowing its type.\n\nIn short, it is a straightforward (if oddly elaborate) variant of the static tracing facilities that DTrace has effectively obviated.  Which is not to take anything away from it:  before DTrace, AIX probably had the most full-featured tracing facility.\n\nA final note:  DTrace itself is open source, and while I am not a lawyer, there is nothing (to the best of my knowledge) in the DTrace license that would prevent DTrace from being ported to AIX.  Something to suggest to IBM the next time you speak with them. ;)

Then the moving on will happen naturally, without the effort...and you will be a finer person for your experiences. (if you choose to be)

Why do so many people not believe in God?

Good question, I used to ask myself the same thing.  The further I got into reading the bible, the more I realized there really aren't alot of people in this world who do actually get saved. \n\n2 Corinthians 4:4\n"The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God."\n\nThat to me says alot, also I can't give you any exact scriptures that I can think of at the time, but alot in the bible points to the fact that the number of unbelievers is much greater than the number of those who are and will be saved.  \n\nIt's a fallen world, and Satan has been given authority on this Earth once sin entered, unfortunately.  The hearts of men are wicked, and without Jesus, cannot be cleansed.

TO name an compound you must first know what kind of compound it is. If it is an ionic compound you just name it by its element name and add ide to the last element (example: sodium chloride. If it is a binary molecular compound (two nonmetals bonded) you use prefixes to notate how many of each element there is in the compound (mono,di,tri,tetra,etc but never use mono on the first element name)(example: dinitrogen trioxide). If the element has hydrogen in it it is an acid. If it only has two elements it is a binary acid and you name it by saying hydro-(element name) acid, but you always add "ic" to the end ( example: hydrochloric acid). If the acid contains oxygen it is an oxyacid. You name it by "(ion name+ ic/ous) acid". To determine whether or not you say "ic" or "ous" use this rule: "ate" ions use "ic" ending "ite" ions use "ous" endings. Examples of each of these are chloric acid and chlorous acid.

What are the US Marines versus the army. The name infers an assosciation with the sea.?

The marines are a more elite but smaller force. They most commonly are associated with the Navy because they are actually a part of the Navy. \n\nThe army is more of a "bulk packaged" soldier. They are called upon when a large force is needed.\n\nJust as the Army has the Green Berets special force unit, the Marines are a larger "special forces" unit.


There are many answers to this question, there are several countries in the America's.  However most of the time when you say America you mean the United States and again there are lots of different answers.  We fired the Shot heard around the world in April, 1775.  We Declared our Independence in July, 1776.  Our Revolution was won in 1781, our current government started in 1789.  However throughout the America's there had been great Civilizations Built and around for many years before the White man came to America.  Columbus Came in 1492, the Vikings came about 400 years before and the Phonecians very probably visited the America's about 3,000 years ago.  The earliest City founded still around is St. Augustine, Florida settled by the Spainish.  The earliest English settlement was Jamestown, Virginia settled in 1607.  The Pilgrims came in 1620 and so forth.  There are many different answers to your question as you asked it, I hope that one of these is what you needed.

how much oil do we use each year for oil changes?

Let's see:\n\nSuppose everyone that changes their oil does so every 3000 miles, and let's say that the average driver drives 12,000 miles a year. That's 4 oil changes per year, at 5 quarts each change, equals 20 quarts a year. So let's guess that only 2 million of us change our oil at all.\n\nI'd estimate about 40 million quarts a year!

Quoted from the website listed at the bottom,\n\nFor Men Only, The Art of Lying to Your Wife\n\nAll right, I admit the title to this article doesn’t sound good. I’ll even use the words "deceptive" or "dishonest"; maybe "disingenuous" sounds better. But, if the male species is to survive we need to know the top five times a bold face lie to our woman is required if we are to stay in a long, loving relationship. How would you respond to the following scenarios? \n\nScenario #1: It’s 11:30, lights out, you’ve just finished watching Leno and you’ve given your wife a good night kiss. A few minutes pass… you’re drifting off…when you suddenly hear your Boo Bear say, "Honey, if I ever died would you ever remarry?" What do you do?\n\nA. Pretend to be asleep.\nB. Tell her that "A love match like ours can never be replaced".\nC. Tell her that after an appropriate mourning period you would naturally begin to socialize.\n\n\nScenario #2: You’re invited to your ten-year class reunion. Your woman squeezes into her old cheerleading outfit and remarks, "My goodness! It still fits! How do I look? Do I look fat?" Would you say:\n\nA. Maybe we need to call Jenny Craig.\nB. It’s like we’ve gone back in time. You’ve never looked so beautiful.\nC. The word "Oink" comes to mind.\n\n \nScenario #3: It’s your anniversary and your wife has surprised you with a candle lit dinner for two. As you cut into the Cornish game hen dust rises from the incision you’ve just made. As you take your first bite you’re reminded of the Sahara Desert. "How do you like it? I’ve slaved over a hot stove for four hours." What do you say?\n\nA. It’s a little dry.\nB. It’s delicious! Are you related to Julia Child?\nC. Even the contestants on "Survivor" would pass on this bird.\n\n\nScenario #4: Your wife’s best friend just completed her thesis towards her Ph.D. Your spouse ponders whether her own accomplishments in life are as worthy and asks, "Honey, in the big scheme of things do I make a difference?" Do you say:\n\nA. In this big crazy world we live in who’s to say what matters and what doesn’t?\nB. Didn’t you drop out after the 6th grade?\nC. You make a difference to me and anyone else who is lucky enough to come in contact with you.\n\n\nScenario #5: After your wife’s best friend receives her new Ph.D., her husband pops for a new rack and face-lift for her. Your wife is appalled and says, "I can’t believe it, first she tries to prove she’s smarter than everyone else and now she’s trying to look 20 years younger. Why won’t she just grow old gracefully? Honey, do I need a face-lift?" What do you say?\n\nA. Does the Mona Lisa need a new coat of paint? Of course not!\nB. No, I like the wrinkles. They show experience and wisdom.\nC. What I think we’re dealing with here is a tear down.\n\nThere are five areas where telling the truth may be detrimental to your health. Discussing your wife’s mortality, weight, age, accomplishments or her cooking. Tread softly. If the truth hurts and it usually does, keep your mouth shut or tell a lie. While honesty is usually the best policy, staying alive and your wife’s happiness is a bigger priority.\n\nby Fred Cuellar the Diamond Guy®

how can i lose my love handles i work out but they wont go away does anyone know any specific exercises/routin

You have to loose your overall body fat. There is no way you can loose body fat in any specific area of your body. The best way to loose fat is not cardio but weight training. \nAnd the best way to do loose fat with weight training is pick workouts that workout large areas of muscles, like the lunges, the squats or the bent rows.\nWhen the bigger muscle breaks, more is the metabolism, more is the fat of the body used up for the metabolism.\nAnd the fat in the waist is the "first to come and last to go" ... so if you loose your love handles, you probably have lost fat already all over the rest of the body.


I believe it is when you experience eczema behind the ears. \n\nMy kids ears get really dry skin behind them. try adding lotion behind the ear after a shower or bath.

No one is able to predict the exact time or date of the Worlds' end, but how and why has been known for nearly 2000 years.\nWhen Jesus Christ comes to judge the wicked and reward the righteous is when the world as we know it will end.\nI say, the sooner the better, because this world is a junkyard, and the new one is gonna be great!

Anybody think that Eminem can evolve as an artist?

Yes, if he can stay away from bad influences.\nFor example, drugs, booze and "the life" of a super star.  He is extremely bright and very creative with a great sense of mind.

He could become legend.\n\nLook at Mos Def, he has come a long way and still has a great and most positive outlook.

is it true that intelligence of a male child comes from his mother?

I was a B student growing up and if I really applied myself could pull of an A or two. I definitely attribute his intelligence to his dad.

If they lost everything, they've probably lost their wedding pictures, baby pictures, birthday pictures, school pictures. If you're able to replace any of these, they'll probably be thrilled.

Be careful how you define "outer space". If you mean outside the halo of the solar system or outside significant graviational influence of the sun, or outside a certain particle density that defines our solar system - nobody has been to outer space yet. I think Voyager I and II are getting close.\n\nMost people that have gone into space haven't even been outside Earth's magnetic field, and none have been outside of Earth's gravitational influence. Theoretically, then, the only people who have left Earth's outer atmosphere went to the moon.

why do people go out in the streets and rally whenever there is someting wrong with the government?

If one person went on the street and protested against the government, nobody would listen to him/her. And if the authorities get a hold of him/her, then they would make their life a hell.\n\nBut if a large amount of people gather on the street, they get media coverage and their voices would be heard much more loudly and clearly. Also, they would not be able to punish all the people since the authorities cannot punish a thousands of people. As a result, it is surprisingly safer to protest in groups than as an individual. \n\nHowever, there have been instances where even protest by large groups have been quashed (Read about Tiananmen Square  students protest in 1989 if you are interested).

Are you an adult only child of divorced parents?  Do you still caught in the middlie of your parents?

Sometimes it makes me wonder who the child really is.

I had chosen to "side" (for lack of a better term) with my dad, while my mother has always puzzled me...on MANY levels.  Maybe her and I are too much alike?  Or we are just too different...in either case, she is the one that makes me feel torn.

How do you know when you are ready to be sexually active?

When you are ready to take full responsibilities for the consequences. \n\nCan you take responsibility for a baby (adoption, abortion, or raising it yourself)? Do you have adequate medical care to deal with any sexually transmitted diseases? Do you have the money for contraception? Are you going to be sneaking around and hiding it from people in your life, or are you willing to talk about if it comes up? (I don't mean that you have to go around shouting, "I'm sexually active!" I just mean, could you ask your parents for assistance in getting proper contraception, for example.)\n\nIf not, I would wait--seriously. Sex is a powerful thing--it's the power to create another human being. Don't mess with it if you're not ready.

You can never be 100%..simply because most people don't know that answer themselves. For example For years I thought I loved my 1st wife... I realize now having met someone else that I never did. I wanted/needed her so badly that I simply conviced myself it was so. \nYou may never know...


What can I do to help a friend with a recent death in his life?

Listen, be there for him. I just lost my dad, and the best thing for me is to keep busy. Try to get him back into his routines. Too much time on your hands makes you think too much, although he does have to grieve in his own way.  It would be nice for him to have some of his friends visit or call. Just make sure he doesn't withdraw too much. You sound like a good friend. I hope this helps.


Latin phase "an order to be informed" means what?


Who started the belief that any kind of sex (pre-marital or marital) was a sin?

It's actually from St. Paul. In his letters, Paul describes celibacy as the ideal human existance, but leaves a clause for those who are too weak to maintain a celibate lifestyle. Thus, in the early Church, many people chose to remain unmarried, even those who were not ordained ministers.\n\nOnly much later, when it became clear that if Christianity was going to survive, it needed to start making Christian BABIES, did married-and-family life take on the sacramental tone that it has today.\n\nYet the belief that sex BEFORE marriage is evil is rooted in that early belief that sex is AT BEST a forgivable evil. Today, we adopt a more holistic theology - that sex is part of the blessing of human relationships, which are most fulfilling in the covenant bond of marriage.

In the mid-'80s as part of the Strategic Arms Limitations Treaty (SALT) with the then-Soviet Union, 54 Titan II sites were destroyed or filled with concrete to make innoperable. At the time of the SALT treaty theTitan II sites were already considered obsolete, and were being replaced by a more mobile and less infrastructure dependent launch system which was much cheaper to maintain.\n\nMany of the Atlas missile silos are for sale as underground homes...you can google these sites.


hai i want 2 know about future i had passed only 10th std?

you question is too vague . you did not even bother to type "standard" ; that makes you lazy. are you sure you passed 10th? if you gave answers in  your exam with this clarity i doubt that. try to be more clear and sincere and hard working . for now you future is shakey.


If your time horizon (retirement date) is more than 20 years out, its best to invest in a 401k plan rather than invest in a taxable plan.  The reason is that the 401k has certain tax advantages which allow you to defer current taxes out into the future which gives you more money to compound earnings against.  Also, if you are an employer, you dont pay employer taxes against the money invested in the 401k plan.
