Who are some black Mathmaticians?  Possibly one with last name starting with "S".?

Great Black Mathematicians of the 1970s& 1960s:\n\nThere are quite a few well established Black mathematicians, in Africa, the Americas, Asia, and Europe, who are internationally known as leaders in their respective fields though past the midpoint of their careers and never quite reaching the accomplishment/recognition of "the masters." Ethelbert Chukwu (Differential Equations, Control Theory, and Mathmatical Economics), Francisco Antonio Doria (mathematical physics, logic, the philosphy of science, and the mathematical theory of communications), Nöel Lohoue (Functional Analysis), Donald Richards (Statistics), and Floyd Williams (Homological Algebra & Lie Groups) are probably the best of the group.\n\nOthers are Olusola Akinyele (Ordinary Differential Equations), Augustin Banyaga (Differential Topology), Earl Barnes (Linear & Non-linear Programming), Heneri Dzinotyiweyi (Topological Semigroups), G. O. S. Ekhaguere (Mathematical Physics), John A. Ewell (Number Theory), Aderemi Kuku (Algebraic K-theory), and Scott Williams (Set-Theoretic Topology, Set Theory, Topological Dynamics). There are at least 10 other good mathematicians who could be mentioned here, you can find them on the web page Research Mathematicians of the African Diaspora: http://www.math.buffalo.edu/mad/ResearchMathematicians.html.\n\nThough Black Women in Mathematics form 25% of all Black Mathematicians, it has not escaped this author that the above response to question 4 discusses no woman. I am only aware of a hand full of Black women active ly engaged at forwarding the science significantly beyond a thesis. The most senior is Fern Hunt who has at least 20 papers - recall the most junior, Kate Okikiolu is discussed in section 5 (above).\n\n\n Analyzing the database of the Institute of Scientific Information in Philadelphia, The Journal of Blacks in Higher Education conducted a citation analysis of a group of 96 black scholars who teach mathematics at American colleges and universities. Here are the three black mathematicians JBHE identified as having the most academic citations in academic journals during the calendar year 2004: \n\nClifford V. Johnson, professor of physics at the University of Southern California, leads our rankings of the most highly cited black mathematicians. Professor Johnson is a theoretical physicist who works mainly with string theory, quantum gravity, gauge theory, and M-theory. He used mathematical tools to study objects such as black holes. Professor Johnson, who was cited 65 times in academic journals in 2004, is a graduate of Imperial College, London University, and holds a Ph.D. from Southampton University. \n\nWilliam A. Massey is the Edwin S. Wilsey Professor of Operations Research and Financial Engineering at Princeton University. A native of Jefferson City, Missouri, Massey is a graduate of Princeton University and holds a Ph.D. in mathematics from Stanford University. For more than 20 years he was a top engineer at Bell Laboratories before coming to Princeton in 2001. Dr. Massey has published more than 50 academic papers on applied probability analysis. He was cited 59 times in academic journals in 2004. \n\nEmery N. Brown, a mathematical biologist, is director of the Neuroscience Statistics Research Laboratory at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. He also serves as an associate professor of Anaesthesia at Harvard Medical School. His research is in the area of neural information coding, which uses mathematical techniques to decipher how neurons receive and transmit information. Dr. Brown is a Harvard man to the core. He is a 1978 magna cum laude graduate of Harvard College. He holds a master's and Ph.D. in statistics from Harvard and is also a graduate of the Harvard Medical School. Dr. Brown is widely published in academic journals. In academic journals, he was cited 45 times by his peers in 2004, placing him third in the JBHE rankings. \nfrom The Journal of Blacks in Higher Education: \nhttp://www.jb

I have pcos, how can i ballance my hormones?

DO NOT ORDER CLOMID on line.  I have pcos as well, and I have done alot of studying on the subject, birthcontrol is very effective in controling pcos, exercise, and following a diabetic diet can be very helpful.  I would assume you are wanting to have children, {clomid} however; many women have had very successful pregnancies and had pcos the whole time.  with pcos generally you tend to have simple cyst on your ovaries which over time can cause them to harden if you aren't having regular period, the birth control helps your ovaries regulate your system to help prevent this, also with pcos you tend to be insulin resistant which means your at a greater risk of developing not just diabeties but gestational diabeties when your pregnant. if your over weight you need to consider, trying to loss a few pounds, and ask your doctor about taking gloucaphage while trying to get pregnant it has a great success rate in helping women get preg with pcos.  Its a diabetic medicine, that help stimulate your progesterone levels, and can help maintain your Quant levels durning preg. I not only have PCOS but, I am a nurse as well please talk to your physician before taking anything like clomid off the internet.  I know it seems like you have been diagnosised with this and there is that fear of not having children, I have the same fears, but don't loose hope explore all your options and absorb all the information you can find on pcos. I think you'll find thousands of women have pcos and are now great moms.


Why is pouring water over the side-view mirror of the car not a good idea, when the weather is below 0.?

Does  "PARAMOUNT" interest in minor child destiny mean kidnap is ok in Australia and remaining complict good.

I ran across your question and although I can recognize your suffering, I can't for the life of me, understand your question? It really sounds like you are looking for a way to vent your frustrations. I hope you have been able to do just that.\n\nIf I were you I would drop this question and do as suggested above, find the proper forum and then tell us what you are asking from us.


What is your opinion of the Prophets of the Old Covenant?

There is no "old Covenant," because there is no new one.\n\nBut if you mean the Prophets of the Hebrew Scriptures, then what they said is From Gd.\n\nFor example, Ezekiel. The whole of chapter 18 of the book of Ezekiel is about the idea that no one can die for someone else's sins. This chapter of Ezekiel teaches us that all we have to do for Gd's forgiveness is to stop doing the Bad and start doing the Good, and Gd will forgive us.\n\nI also like Hosea, for example Hosea 11:9, where he said, "For I am Gd and not a man."\n\nI also love Jonah. In Jonah, the People of Ninevah do three things in order to be forgiven by Gd. They fast, they pray for forgiveness, and they stop doing the Bad and start doing the Good, and Gd forgave them!\n\nJonah 3:7-10 And he caused it to be proclaimed \nand published through Ninevah, by the decree \nof the King and his nobles, saying, Let \nneither man nor beast, herd nor flock taste \nanything; let them not feed nor drink water; \nbut let man and beast be covered with \nsackcloth, and cry mightily unto Gd; yea, let \nthem turn every one from his evil way, and \nfrom the violence that is in their hands. Who \ncan tell if Gd will turn and repent, and turn \naway from his fierce anger that we perish not? \nAnd Gd saw their works, that they turned from \ntheir evil way; and Gd repented of the evil, \nthat he had said that he would do unto them; \nand he did not do it.\n\nPlease notice that Jonah tells us that Gd saw their WORKS, their deeds, how they turned from their evil ways, and Gd forgave them. It does not say that Gd saw their blood sacrifice, they never offered one. It does not say that Gd forgave them because they had the right faith, but rather it says that Gd forgave them because of their deeds!\n\nSo, yes, the Prophets who spoke as Gd instructed are wonderful!


Is there a way that I could find Italian soldiers that disappeared  in Russia during WWll?

Last year, the remains of about 200 Italian prisoners in Russia were returned to Italy.\n\nDuring World War II, at least 250,000 Italian troops were sent by Italian dictator Benito Mussolini to help allied German Nazi forces, but most lacked the warm clothing and cold-weather survival skills of the Soviets.\n\nWith most of their vehicles broken down or lost in battle, the Italians trudged in retreat often traveling hundreds of kilometers during the winter of 1942-43. Many dropped dead in forced marches to prison camps. Others survived the cruel journey, only to die in camps as far away as Siberia.\n\nAn estimated 70,000 Italian soldiers never returned from the campaign. (From the Mos News)\n\nI would contact the Italian Embassy in Moscow and ask what they are doing to locate the missing Italian prisoners.\n\nGood luck.  Those that weresn't killed outright often died in the prison camps later.  Very few made it back.


Why isn't the word "genocide" used when teaching about the early history of the United States?

Because you have a bunch of idiotic, unintelligent radical pro-government racist Republicans writing our school textbooks. If you think that sounds harsh, that's your own opinion, but it is the truth.

do you think seattle or pittsberg will go back to the superbowl next year?

Both of these teams are good enough to get back to the Super Bowl -- no one has left the Steelers yet (and if anyone does, is there a team that's given up more players to free agency than the Steelers?) -- it all comes down to injuries (or lack thereof) and some breaks along the way.\n\nIt should be pointed out that recent history has been very unkind to the team that lost the Super Bowl game.


Which should I chose, a certificate of deposit on which interest compounds daily, quarterly, or annually?

It depends. You would have to work out the interest rates to see which one will yield you the most money. My guess is that the daily compounded cd will yield the most. Go to http://www.finaid.org/calculators/scripts/compoundinterest.cgi to see what will yield the most over the time period you need.


I have a boy friend for a year , how can i know if he wants to marry me or not.?

Actually time is not really an issue.  I know pople who dated for 4 - 6 months and got married.  But there a re also people I know who have been dating since the beginning of time but they are still unmarried.  So obviously you are marriage oriented.  Bring up the marriage topic to him and see his reaction.  Positive or negative.  But you can also ask him directly to be sure  --  "do you plan on marrying me?" But be prepared for either getting really hurt or a pleasant surprise. In my opinion, if you are unsure then the answer is no or not yet.  Usually the guys will drop in a lot of hints on the fact that they want marriage early on in a relationship.  Does he talk alot about your future together?

Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), commonly known as mad cow disease, is a fatal, neurodegenerative disease of cattle, which infects by a mechanism that surprised biologists on its discovery in late 20th century. While never having killed cattle on a scale comparable to other dreaded livestock diseases, such as foot and mouth and rinderpest, BSE has attracted wide attention because it seems that people can contract the disease; it is thought to be the cause of variant Creutzfeld-Jakob disease (vCJD), sometimes called new variant Creutzfeld-Jakob disease (nvCJD), a human brain-wasting disease

what is greatr 12/15 or 3/4 and what is greater 5/8 or 1o/16?


Everyone!\n\nSince their written language was based on representing the sounds of words, regardless of the language spoken, it allowed them to quickly record the speech/meaning of words in other countries.\n\nThe page I provide whose URL I am providing should meet your hunger for any in-depth knowledge.  The countries it lists as the ones Phoenicians' traded with are:\n\nLebanon\nEgypt\nBritain\nSpain\nCypress\nMesopotamia\nAfrican coastal countries\n\nThey had cities that were colonies in many of these countries, as well as Tunisia and Sardinia.\n\nWhat they traded with was what they got from other, distant peoples.  Since these products by the very nature of their remote origin were rare - they were economically valuable.  Thus, they could be "expensive".\n\nThat allowed the traders to give less goods and get more in return. The extra capital received by them in these transactions could cover their expenses from:  travel, labor, ships, caravans, guards, robbers, tolls, negotiating, communicating, accounting/records-keeping, learning languages, etc.\n\nThe demands of mastering/employing all these skills probably forced the traders to be pretty smart.\n\nLater they got conquered by a succession of countries in the region (Iran, Greece, Macedonia).

I think she's nervous, shy, she really doesn't know how to act. Just be kind to her, and don't move to fast you might scare her away. If the two of you have a mutual friend, give the gift to them to give to her...But make sure you put your name on it. Maybe this gift could be given to her in your presence. That would make it a little easier.


Do you think that CNN is very liberal in its reporting and viewpoints?

CNN is about the furthest left of the major news networks. They never used to be in the beginning, but that is the direction they steered towards after the beginning of Desert Shield/Storm.\n\nAll you have to do is look into the wording of the lead-ins. Anything dealing with a republican or the current administration will most always have a negative spin on it. Minor parts of the issue will be put in a greater context as long as it helps pain that negative view. Positive news about the reps or the administration are burreid down towards the end of the program or the end of the 1/2hour segment, and usually kept very short and without detail.\n\nFox is pretty middle of the road when it comes to financial issues. Leans a bit to the right when it comes to the politics. But it is good to have the opposing view out there when the ones like CNN, ABC, and CBS constantly spew the leftist agenda. I would like a true unbiassed new outlet though. I just think it will be tough to ever see one.


I plan a study of trinitarians vs. non-trinitarians; would you (both sides) provide your verses and reasoning?

And it is the Spirit who bears witness, because the Spirit is truth. \n7 For there are three that bear witness in heaven; Father,the word, and the Holy Spirit;and these three are one.


how are antibody light and heavy chains coordinately synthesized in E.coli?

they use the VDJ recombination sequence to create a variety of variable chain. the heavy chain is synthesized first, if it's working then it starts to synthesize the light chain, if not the cell undergo another VDJ recombination and if it still not working it will undergo apoptosis. same goes with the light chain, if it functions properly it will go to the lymph node and mature there. to become mature abs it has to encounter the dendritic cells and able to recognize self. if not they will die. see all of this tightly regulated mechanism is to ensure the abs are functioning properly and will not attck self.

what is Vicodin and what is it used for?

Generic name: Hydrocodone. It is a synthetic codeine derivative and is taken for pain. It is classified as a narcotic and is addictive.


All active metals whose activity is more than H react with water under some or the other condition. For eg. Na metal reacts violently with cold water(the colder the better) liberating hydrogen gas which ignites due to the heat produced in the reaction whereas Mg shows a similar reaction with hot water. The energy liberated is due to the Hydration enrgy which gives the respective metal hydroxides. Even dissolution is a slightly exothermic.


what speech can a father say to a daughter at her sweet 16 party?

Dear Dad,\nI have found that what works best is speaking from the heart. You know you're proud of her accomplishments, you know you may not always be able to agree with her but you will always love her no matter WHAT. Recount how happy she has made your life since that day you saw that little face for the very first time. See if you can't manage to throw in some of the funny, goofy things our kids do make us laugh; you know, the things that they do naturally but to us is so comical. Wrap it up with the hope you have bestowed upon her and the faith you have in her and make sure she knows that you have every confidence that she'll use every tool, every learning experience, tackle every problem the way you have taught her to. Each and EVERY human being is as unique as every star in the sky. Brother, emphasize how YOU see her as unique to you and your family, her friends, your neighborhood or community. From your posted question alone it sounds like you have raised this girl to be meteoric, NOT mediocre. Best of luck :)


My Wife had been operated with general anesthesia and after that she is alittel confused nobody gave me an ans

Do you mean, she was confused just after the surgery?  Or do you mean that she has come home, it's been a while, and she's still confused?\n\nMake an appointment with your primary doctor (your regular doctor, not the one who did surgery) and get a consult.  Then, get a second opinion from a new doctor - this might not be covered by your health plan, but it might be very important that you do it.

Anyone Believe The Bird Flu Will Infect Humans?

It has already infected humans.  Even though there have been a few fatal cases, after reading what the center for disease control has to say about it, I don't believe an epicemic is likely, considering the percentage of infections and deaths (like billions to one).  I think it's more of a scar tatic like Nile virus, Sars, and Mad Cow Desease are.  All disease are sad, wide spread or not.\n\nI think we should be more concerned with the quality of our drinking water.


The real meaning of friendship is to know when you need to support your friend. When you call at 2am in the morning to break down to your buddy about getting dumped - All you want is a shoulder to cry on, and your friend is there.\n\nThe real meaning of friendship is to know when your buddy needs help. You are in jail and you need bail (and you don't want your parents to find out) - the best friend comes to help you.\n\nThe real meaning of friendship is to be there for your friend who needs companionship. You do it not because you have to, but because you want to. You sit down, lend an ear, lend a hand - and be the friend that he or she needs. That is the real meaning of friendship.

is staph infection a side effect of singulair medicine?

Steroid medication inhibits your immune system, therefore making you more susceptable to any type of infection. This is probably why they list Staph infection as a side effect in steroid athsma medications.\n\nHowever Singulair is notnsteroidal. It is a leukotriene inhibitor. So no it is not listed.\n\nWhat are the possible side effects of montelukast? \n\n If you experience any of the following serious side effects, stop taking montelukast and seek emergency medical attention or notify your doctor immediately: \n\nan allergic reaction (difficulty breathing; closing of the throat; swelling of the lips, tongue, or face; or hives); \nnumbness, tingling, or pain; \na rash or unexplained open sores or bruising; \na flu-like illness; \nsevere inflammation (pain and swelling) of the sinuses; or \nworsening respiratory symptoms. \nOther, less serious side effects may be more likely to occur. Continue to take montelukast and talk to your doctor if you experience\n\nupset stomach, stomach pain, or heartburn; \ndizziness or headache; \ntiredness; \nsore throat or cough, or \nnasal irritation. \nSide effects other than those listed here may also occur. Talk to your doctor about any side effect that seems unusual or that is especially bothersome

This point has been argued back and forth.  Many people believe that the Macbeths had a child that died young creating resentment and helping to explain their lack of humanity towards other children.  On the other hand, a lady of Lady Macbeth's standing would not have served as wet-nurse to her own children so there is a lie implicit in this from the get go.  It is likely that the story of Macbeth as told at the time included more detail but so far scholars haven't seemed to be able to locate them.  \nDecide for yourself.  Lady Macbeth may simply be calling on her femininity as a reference without being literal.

What's the process of solving equations...?

to solve for X, you have to separate X from everything else. in that problem 2X+3X=5, you would combine the 2X and 3X to get 5X. so the equation end up as 5X=5. from there, divide both side by 5. 5X/5=X and 5/5=1 so X=1.

it depends on the type excerising that you're doing. to burn fat 30min, 3-4 times a week, cardio workouts are best. that does NOT include your warm-up & cool-down time. it should be 20-30min of a heart pumping excercise (i.e. running, cycling, swimming). if you have been doing 3wks of weight-lifting, of course you're not losing pounds, you're gaining muscle mass. and muscles are 3 times heavier than fat. if you just want to lose pounds drop the dumb bells and pick up a jump rope.

If you want to contact me directly, you can reach me through Alex's website at:\n\nhttp://www.alexupdate.com\n\nHope this helps.\n\n-- T

can i do permanent damage to my singing voice by over exerting my voice?

Take care of your voice, don't speak if you don't have to, if possible, let is rest. drink hot drinks, with honey in it sooths. I had been overusing my voice for three weeks, I saw a specialist, she told me to keep it quiet, easier said then done, I went back to see her after a few months and she was suprised it really was improved. so my advice rest your voice as much as possible until you gain your old voice back. Good luck

Is the true goal of Christianity, to convert everyone into being like Ned Flanders?

The simple answer is "No."\n\nNow the complex answer.\nToo many people confuse true Christianity with a religion.  Religion has rules, "we vs. them" types of mentalities, and tends to try and conquer other people who think or believe differently.  Not all religions are "religious" according to this type of definition.  According to this we could easily cast the homosexuality movement as a religion, athiesm as a religion, even Democrats and Republicans as a religion.\n\nTrue Christianity is a relationship.  A relationship between you and God.  The Bible exists to help you understand how God want the relationship to work, what you are responsible for, and what He is responsible for.  As with any good relationship there are great benefits with Christianity.  Also, there are certain things you can do that will cause strife and pain to the relationship.  The last component to this relationship is God wants to help you - just like you want to help your best friends.  He tells you of things to avoid to help you live a better life and make good decisions.  God is NOT a bully, is NOT a genie to do your bidding (although too many Christians treat him this way), and will not control your life.  It's all based on FREE WILL.

Last summer I had a very bad cold and since then I can barely smell or taste anything. What could it be?

Anosmia (loss of sense of smell) and dysgeusia (loss of sense of taste) often occur together, since much of what we "taste" is actually smell.\n\nTemporary loss of the sense of smell is common with colds and nasal allergies, such as hay fever (allergic rhinitis). It may occur following a viral illness.

Network Utilization too low!!!!!!!!!!!!! PLZ only experts?

1. the traffic you are measuring is the one that passes through one of youre network adapters. I suspect youre adapter is 100Mbps.\n2. Second: hubs broadcast packets, unlike switches that make point to point connections. The problem is that collisions may appear and affect your tranfer. I suggest replacing the hub with a switch.\n3. In half-duplex  mode you don't use youre equipments at their maximum capacity(you either trasmit or receive).


Pass the ball, be a good TEAM player, and stay in shape ALL YEAR.  If you don't stay in shape, you end up being really hard on yourself before the season starts, and you get tired.

How accurate should a weatherman's forecast be? 1-5 days, for example.?

Depends on where you live.\n\nWhen I lived in Florida, forecasts were accurate 90% of the time(exception: hurricanes). They can usually predict an average FL forecast 5 days in advance.\n\nHere in Denver, it is hard to predict what a front will do when the mountains to the west make it hard to predict- a good forecast is accurate for a day or 2 at best.


If someone snatches my soc sec card and obtains my birth cert.what stops em fromgettingmyidwith their picture?

If this has happened, you need to notify the police, the Social Security Administration, your bank, the credit card companies.\n\nHere is what PayPal advises buyers and sellers who use their service:\n\nWhat to Do If You Suspect You Are a Victim of Identity Theft\n\nIn some cases, such as a bad charge on your credit card, you may only need to contact the credit card company to cancel the account. In cases in which more than one account has been compromised or new accounts have been opened in your name, you may also need to work with the credit bureaus and law enforcement to sort out the problems.\n\nIt is important to act quickly so that you can limit the damage as much as possible. As soon as you suspect you are a victim of identity theft, you should:\n\n  \n \n\n    * Close compromised accounts\n    * Contact law enforcement\n    * Contact the three major credit reporting bureaus\n    * Inform PayPal and other companies and government agencies\n    * Be vigilant\n\n\nThe link below has information to help you deal with this problem.


Looking for information about real estate loan assumption?

here is a definition:\n\nAnother individual or entity can acquire the mortgage either with or without qualifying, depending upon the type of loan. Most assumable loans now require the new buyer to qualify. Assumable loans include FHA, VA and owner-financed notes.\n\nHere is why you have heard good things about assumable loans:\n\nYou can get rich with these, cause you can do what is called a wrap around mortgage. That is you buy a house for one price and one down payment, and sell it for another price 5% higher and another down payment 5% higher and you have money coming in with no risk. \n\nMost new loans require the new buyer to qualify, so the days of getting rich easy are gone.

Macromedia Shockwave is frequently confused with Macromedia Flash. This is largely due to an aggressive marketing campaign launched in late 1990s. Shockwave is Macromedia's first and less successful multimedia player. In an attempt to leverage its market presence and help promote other multimedia formats all Macromedia players started prepending 'Shockwave' to their names - as in Shockwave Flash. This led to a blurring of product lines. ...\n\nAlthough Macromedia Shockwave was designed for making a wide variety of online movies and animations, its actual use has become concentrated in the area of game development. Shockwave's 3D engine is still unchallenged in this market having replaced Java as the most popular engine for online games. Flash files can be played on a Shockwave player, but not vice versa. Other features not replicated by Flash include a much faster rendering engine, including hardware-accelerated 3D, direct pixel access on bitmap images, blend modes for layered display of graphic assets and support for various network protocols including Internet Relay Chat. Furthermore Shockwave's functionality can be extended with so-called Xtras. Unlike Flash, the Shockwave browser plugin is not available for Linux (or Solaris) despite very vocal lobbying efforts by the Linux community.


why do people plee guilty for things they are innocent for?

I feel for your situation.  Our justice system is totally messed up - I don't believe in the system especially the words "innocent until proven guilty".  I do understand plea deals for "lesser" sentences when offering information like accomplises and such, but to have to plead guilty when you are innocent is just wrong.  And I don't know why the justice system allows all the lying and entrapment.\n\nGood luck to you.

why good Friday do not fall on one particular date and the dates changes every year?

Good Friday is always the Friday before Easter.  To properly understand the nature of Good Friday.  Some research is required to find out why Easter is scheduled the way that it is.\n\nAccording to Newadvent.org and an excerpt from the Catholic Encyclopedia, Easter will always fall some time between March 22 and April 25.  This would make Good Friday sometime between March 20 and April 23.\n\nSee the second paragraph in the link below under The Feast section for a more detailed explanation.

Does starting a new exercise program effect your menstrual cycle?

I don't think that it's normal. The only well-documented effect exercise has on the menstrual cycle (that I know of) is amenorrhea. Amenorrhea is when the menstrual cycle essentially stops because there is too little fat in the woman's body for the hormones to be effective. This case is somewhat common in elite athletes, particularly gymnasts. I second the suggestion to talk to your doctor about it.


isaac newton i mean sometimes he would sit on the end of his bed half dressed thinking about gravity\n\nor maybe edison he would find like 500 ways of not making a light bulb but all he would say is "i have not failed i have found 500 more ways to not make a light bulb work!"


It depends on where you live.  The cost of electricity on the power grid ranges from about 4 cents per kilowatt hour in Kentucky to about 14 cents per kilowatt-hour in New York City.   You would need to find out what the cost per kilowatt hour is where you live and multiply that by the number of kilowatt-hours you would use in a month.\n\nTo determine the number of kilowatt-hours you would use in a month, multiply the power (in watts) of each appliance by the number of hours that appliance is being used and divide this by 1000.  For example if you use eight 100-watt light bulbs an average of 5 hours a day than, they would account for 8 x 100 x 5 x 30 (days in a month) = 15000 watts/1000=15 kilowatt-hours.  If you don't know how many watts the appliance uses, multiply the number of amps by the voltage the appliance uses; but it is easier just to check the table in the link below to find a typical power useage for each of your appliances.\n\nOnce you've totaled the number of kilowatt hours used (watts x hours used / 1000) for each appliance, multiply that total by the cost per kilowatt-hour in your area.\n\nThe biggest influences on your electric costs or usually the water heater and heat and air, and possibly the oven if it is used a lot.  Using a space heater a lot can effect it a lot.

arguing against Hamilton that war should be a last resort to diplomacy. In this argument, the President won the nation the respect of its most powerful adversaries. Although Adams was fiercely criticized for signing the Alien and Sedition Acts, he never advocated their passage nor personally implemented them, and he pardoned the instigators of Fries's Rebellion. Seen in this light, Adams's legacy is one of reason, virtuous leadership, compassion, and a cautious but vigorous foreign policy. At the same time, Adams's stubborn independence left him politically isolated. He alienated his own cabinet, and his elite republicanism stood in stark contrast to the more egalitarian Jeffersonian democracy that was poised to assume power in the new century.


I have a bulging disc and degenerative disc disease has anyone had success with an inversion table?

When my SI joint is out, it is impossible to function and I really dislike the haze that pain meds induce!!  I have had an inversion table for 2 years and believe it was heaven sent!!  It is, however, an acquired taste as alot of people are not comfortable hanging upside down.  Also if you have circulatory, heart or any type of balance or inner ear problems, this is not the treatment alternative for you!!  Definately try one before you buy one. If you do decide to take this path.....purchase a well built quality model!  Good Luck!

what  are some of the best home remedies for geting rid of bronchitus?

Here are a couple of good ideas:\n\nSteam inhalation to help prevent secondary infections when you have a cold (bronchitis). It's really quite easy: Bring a pot of water to a boil, take it off the fire, then stand over it and create a tent with a towel over your head and the pot. Purse your lips and breathe steam though your mouth. For best results, before inhaling, steep a small handful of sage and/or eucalyptus leaves or a teaspoon of the essential oils of either or both (available at herb shops) in the steaming water. Not only is this procedure soothing, it's preventive, since the aromatic oils are known to retard bacterial growth.\n\nAnother remedy is strong ginger tea, which helps clear up chest congestion. Peel and grate (lengthwise on the large holes of a grater) a chunk of fresh gingerroot. Place 1 to 2 teaspoons of the gingerroot into a mug of just-boiled water. Cover and let it steep for 10 to 15 minutes. Strain and drink. (If you like, add honey to taste.) Drink a few cups of ginger tea throughout the day. \n\nHope this helps!

Do you think the theory of the continental drift is true?

First of all, a scientific theory is not defined the way the other answerer apparently believes. A Theory in science is the highest level of certainty, and is equivalent to the term Law that is used in some fields of science. The common usage of the word theory does not apply to scientific theory, that is it is not a hypothesis or conjecture, it is proven to the highest degree possible.(Apparently this confuses most of the creationists who somehow think using the word theory implies a high level of uncertainty).\n\nIf you would like to read more on the definition of Theory and Laws please go here: \nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory\n\nContinental drift is now referred to as Plate Tectonics. It is a well proven theory with multiple sets of observations that demonstrate that it is taking place today as you read this. The recent tsunami in Indonesia was an indirect result of plate tectonic movement that is taking place on the earth continuously. The Pacific Ocean is currently spreading by about 4 centimeters each year (about 2 inches). \n\nIf you examine the outline of many continents you will be able to see similarities in the shape, much like jigsaw puzzle parts that are not connected. South American and Africa are a good example of this. One interesting form of proof of the spreading that split South American away from Africa are oil reservoirs in West Africa and Brazil that have oil that is chemically and biologically identical. (All petroleum can be identified using special biomarkers and analyses as unique to its own source)  Since there is no way they could have migrated through the earth to these widespread locations, that oil must have been formed while Africa and South America were still connected. There are many more examples of biological organisms that are found on widely separated continents that are related. Another great example of this is that fossils found on Antarctica that come from tropical plants and wood show that that continent was once near the equator. Similar things can be found in northern Siberia, and northern Canada and Alaska. \n\nOther examples of this process and the jig-saw puzzle like pieces that have come together are many mountain ranges. In the high Sierra Mountains, above 10,000 ft elevations are deposits of marine limestone (now marble) that were once reefs on islands in the ocean we now call the Pacific Ocean. \n\nOver the past 250 million years a supercontinent called Pangaea has spread apart to the continents we know today. You can see a good illustration of this at \nhttp://volcano.und.nodak.edu/vwdocs/vwlessons/lessons/Pangea/Pangea4.html\nThat site has some good diagrams of Pangaea and how it has broken up and the plates have moved. It also explains the mechanism. \nHere is an animated version that shows the breakup:\nhttp://www.scotese.com/sfsanim.htm\n\nPrior to Pangaea, there was another supercontinent called Gondwana and another supercontinent called Laurasia combined with Gondwana to form Pangaea. Prior to the consolidation of Gondwana was another supercontinent called Rodinia. This supercontinent formation is apparently and hypothetically a cycle that the planet completes every few hundred million years, moving continents, building mountain ranges, and rifting other continents apart creating new oceans. \nOne of the best web sites on the internet that shows the various stages of the planet's plate tectonics is the Paleomap Project here:\nhttp://www.scotese.com/earth.htm\n Here is an illustration of Rodinia\nhttp://www.scotese.com/earth.htm\n Here is an illustration of Rodinia\nhttp://www.scotese.com/Rodinia3.htm\n\nSource(s):\n\nI'm a geologist.

If winning isn't everything, then why do they keep score?

The ultimate goal of any professional sport is to out play one's opponents and rise above them to become a champion in that field. Competition is the driving force in all sports, by definition of the very word. "Sport" is defined as "physical activity that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often engaged in competitively", by the American Heritage dictionary.\n\nOften when we hear cliché phrases such as "it doesn't matter if you win or lose; it's how you play the game", it's a way of consoling school-aged children after tough losses, where sports are primarily used as a way to build character and integrity and winning is secondary.

looking for the sheet music to david sanborn's Lotus Blossom?

The best I can offer is this:  The version of Lotus Blossom that David Sanborn played was composed by a man named Don Grolnick.\n\nNot sure if you needed sax or piano music, anyway. The person who helped me attempt to help you studied Jazz at USC... and we've had no success in finding Grolnick's transcription of this song (on the internet, anyway)\n\nPerhaps your best bet at this point would be to contact your local music store and have them do all the footwork for you or {cringe} break the news to you that this particular work isn't published or is out of print. The person who helped me out suggests: maybe a sax lover out there has taken the time to transcribe this piece him/herself... maybe a few polite requests will get you what you're looking for.\n\nBest of luck.

What is the secret of losing weight and keeping it off.  Please be kind and helpful?

Lots of water and a multi vitamin.  Get a partner to keep each other accountable.\n\nCut out complex sugars, like soda, candy, and white breads.  Eat whole grain.  Pastas and breads can still be eaten, but don't over do it.  Make sure they are whole grain.\n\nAlso, eat small meals 5 times a day.  And NO carbs or sugars within 2 hours of bed time.  This will also help you sleep better.  \n\nGet some cardio workouts in 4 or 5 times a week and some light weights 2 or 3 times.  The more muscle the higher the motabolism.

Well, it depends on the stage of cancer and how far it has spread, etc... But usually if it's detected early they do a lumpectomy followed by radiation and chemo. If it's bigger or has spread to the lymph nodes then they may have to do a masectomy followed again by radiation and chemo.

what is the difference between abuse and dependence in alcohol?

Alcohol abuse is described as any "harmful use" of alcohol.\nThe Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders IV describes alcohol abusers as those who drink despite recurrent social, interpersonal, and legal problems as a result of alcohol use. Harmful use implies alcohol use that causes either physical or mental damage.\n\nThose who are alcohol dependent meet all of the criteria of alcohol abuse, but the will also exhibit some or all of the following:\n\n\nNarrowing of the drinking repertoire (drinking only one brand or type of alcoholic beverage).\n\n\nDrink-seeking behavior (only going to social events that will include drinking, or only hanging out with others who drink).\n\n\nAlcohol tolerance (having to drink increasing amounts to achieve previous effects).\n\n\nWithdrawal symptoms (getting physical symptoms after going a short period without drinking).\n\n\nDrinking to relieve or avoid withdrawal symptoms (such as drinking to stop the shakes or to "cure" a hangover).\n\n\nSubjective awareness of the compulsion to drink or craving for alcohol (whether they admit it to others or not).\n\n\nA return to drinking after a period of abstinence (deciding to quit drinking and not being able to follow through).\nTypically, those drinkers who are diagnosed as only alcohol abusers can be helped with a brief intervention, including education concerning the dangers of binge drinking and alcohol poisoning.\nThose who have become alcohol dependent generally require outside help to stop drinking, which could include detoxification, medical treatment, counseling and/or self-help group support.

What are the effects of sexual intercourse?

Your question is almost strange and maybe unclear too.\nAside from the other answers you have already got till now, I can only add something about some risk, in the case you are interested in it.\nYou know that with the sexual intercourses many illnesses can be transmitted easily.\nThere are a lot :\nHIV, Candidiasis,  Blennorrhea, Syphilis, etc. etc.\nOf course, it depends on the partner health.\nHere’s because the use of the condom is always advised for occasional acts with different and unknown people.\nOf course, the act itself, as like as the wank, has no effect towards our health.

I believe in the concept of a democratic republic, or a represenative government. True democracy cannot work, just as communism and socialism cannot work. It is not feasible to think that the general populous of a huge country can have the depth of knowledge or the ability to vote on every governmental issue that comes up. Represenatives who job it is to know those issues and understand the processes are essential.\n\nI do believe that the individual voices are heard though, and that is where the democratic process comes in. The voices are heard in the represenative elections.


how do you delete the websites from the address bar on the internet?

Try stretching your arm out for longer than usual. And also warm up slowly before you throw hard. This probably wont heal your arm but it should keep it from getting worse.


If God is good and all powerful, why is there so much suffering in the world?

Check out Godel's theorem.  The way I read it it states that given any language you can write sentences that are true, false, or neither true nor false (i.e. "This sentence is false.").  I see God as the language which is Truth.  If you have the concept of truth, falsehood is derivitive from truth.  So if you have a true omnipotent God who is all good, you can have the false concept of his opposite, suffering, or any other sort of bad or evil thing you can imagine.  Just because you can say it in the language of God, doesn't make it true.  The material world is an example of sentences which you can construct in the language of God which are not true, i.e. illusion or relative.  As our thought becomes more spiritual or absolute, we find that the so-called evil in the world falls away from our experience, not that we ignore it, but our thought changes the world within the sphere of our consiousness.  The world is our collective shared consiousness, lots of people think that it is all that is real and filled with both good and evil, so it sure seems like God must have created all this suffering, while in fact he is of purer eyes than to behold anything but pure 100% good everywhere.  Just because you can have the concept of suffering or anything else bad, doesn't make it necessarily real.  We are God's image and likeness, we have free will, therefore, we can believe that which is not true to be true, i.e. believe that illusion is reality.  Without free will, the universe would not be infinite.

Dose anyone know about herbal and alternative medicine treatment of reflux(GERD)?

GERD stands for gastroesophageal reflux disease. Gastroesophageal reflux (not disease)is a normal physiologic phenomena that most people have experienced on rare occasions usually after meals. \n\nGastroesophageal reflux DISEASE occurs when the amount of gastric juice (acidic) in your stomach exceeds a certain volume and refluxes (is pushed into) your esophagus causing injury.\n\nWho is at risk? Anyone with increased intra-abdominal pressure, ie. the obese, and pregnant women. The increased pressure can sort of "push" the part of your esophagus (LES-lower esophageal sphincter) connecting to your stomach open enough for gastric juice to get to your esophagus. This may also occur in people with an incompetent LES for other reasons.\n\nCertain foods like coffee, alcohol, and medications can decrease the pressure of the lower esophageal sphinter (see above) causing gastric juice to flow into the esophagus causing symptoms.\n\nModify your lifestyle:\n1. Lose weight (if you are overweight) \n2. Avoid alcohol, SMOKING, chocolate, citrus juice, and tomato-based products \n3. Avoid large meals \n4. Wait 3 hours after a meal before lying down \n5. Elevate the head of the bed 8 inches (allows gravity to help keep the gastric juices out of your esophagus)\n\nPharmacologic Therapy (I don't list medications, see your doctor). The idea is to decrease the amount of excess acid in your stomach.\n\nSurgical Therapy- for severe cases.\n\nSerious cases of GERD have been known to lead to MORE serious complications, including injury to lungs, and cancer of the lower esophagus. See your doctor, and get proven therapy.

Kennedy. The airport received the new IATA airport code of JFK, and since then the airport has become widely referred to by the acronynm.


How to use a my iSite webcam though MSN messenger on my Mac G4 Notebook?

Sorry i dont think the mac version supports video conferencing yet, you'll probably have to wait for msn to come out its next version to support video conferencing for the mac. The current windows version does support video right? So probably the next mac version will support it. In the mean time just use other IM clients for video and text message on msn messenger, i guess. Again, sorry.

how can i get a driver for my ethernet controller?

Depending upon the manufacturer of the controller, you can usually get the driver from their Web site.  It will help to know: a) the manufacturer; b) the model number of the controller; and c) the operating system that you are using.\n\nIf you have a later operating system (such as Windows XP) you may already have a compatible driver on your Windows XP disc and not need to find one.  If not, or you need one for another operating system, the manufacturers may make current or legacy drivers available under the support sections of their Web sites.

Iranian peoples are those ethnic groups who speak an Iranian language, in which case Iranian is an over-arching term for various peoples and their languages, many of whom share a common descent from a particular branch of the ancient Aryans (Iranians), as discerned from the relationship between their languages, as well as between some of their other inherited core cultural traits. The term is derived from the etymological term Iran which is synonymous with Aryan, and does not have an exclusive meaning that is only applicable to either the state of Iran or the Persian people. The term Iranian or Iranian people is similar, in its usage, to the term Germanic, for example, which includes various peoples who happen to share related Germanic languages such as German, English, and Dutch. This type of usage can be applied in numerous other instances including the Slavic peoples category that includes Russians, Serbo-Croatians, and Poles. Thus, along these lines the Iranian peoples include not only the Persians/Tajiks of Iran, Afghanistan, and Tajikistan, but also the Pashtuns, Kurds, Ossetians, Baluchis, and other smaller groups.

how can get help with my homework online from someone who understands the way I learn ?

Describe your way of learning online.If there is a match, hopefully the person will tell you.\nIf not,you can ask the question, and see if you can get answers, like what we are doing now.\n\nBut I always feel that in order to have the best learning environment is through first hand interaction. Your tutor should be able to provide help much better than anyone online.


A tiger leaps horizontally from a 7.5 m high rock with a speed of 4.5 m/s. How far will she land?

You should do your own homework problems.  Being told answers will not help you learn.\n\nI'll try to help you understand, though.\n\nThink about this.  The tiger's speed accelerates at a rate of 9.81 m/s^2.  For constant acceleration, distance is related to time by the equation d=t*v_0+(t^2)*a where v_0 is the initial speed IN THE DIRECTION OF ACCELERATION, d is the distance traveled, a is the rate of acceleration and t is the time.  Use that to figure out how much time it takes the tiger to reach the ground.  Then multiply this amount of time by the forward speed.  This tells you how far the tiger has moved forward upon landing.\n\nFor the ball the same formula applies.  It works for the projectile too, but you must decompose the velocity into its vertical and horizontal components (hint:  one will be the sine of the angle it's fired from times the speed and the other will be the cosine of that angle times the speed).  I'm going to leave it up to you to figure out which.  This question obviously has more to do with wanting your homework answered for you than with personal curiosity, because of its specificity, and if you just didn't get the concepts it's ok.  It is not ok to submit your homework on the internet in hopes that others will do it for you.


Why does USA give greencard and citizenship to illegal aliens?

Most likely it is for tax reasons.  Once you become a citizen you are obligated to pay taxes.  So it makes sense to give "them" greencards and citizenship.\n\nWhy after a certain period of time?  Probably because of a statute of limitations on the crime of crossing the border without legal paperwork. (being here for 3 year isn't a crime - crossing the border illegally is)\n\nI am not 100% sure, but this is what I think based on what I hear on the news and my stint working as a recruiter.


How does soldiers killing each other solve the world's problem?

In the world there exists men (and women) who terrorize, oppress and take advantage of nations in economic hardship, etc, On the other hand, there exist men and women who have to stand and fight these people because they will not respond to anything but force.  War is the surgeon's scapel that removes the cancer.  True, there is pain and blood loss but overall the patient is healthier for the surgury.  War is necessary unfortunately.  While terror exists in the world, we the soldiers of the US will seek them out and stop them (even in the worst places of the world(Iraq), leave them no safe refuge (Iraq) and bring freedom and voice to the oppressed(also Iraq)!\nAirborne!

my tatto burns after cleaning is that normal?

Is it new? If so, it should hurt a little, and if you used soap, it probably does burn. After all, there's thousands of tiny puncture wounds in that area, so yea. However, if it hurts and it's already healed and you've had it for a while, go to the doctors. Even if it isn't serious, it's still good to get it checked out. Tattoos are risky business to begin with, so make sure you do everything you can to make sure it's healthy. Good luck.


Does Human Height increase during their sleep?

First of all, your height isn't necessarily INCREASED during sleep and it's not sleep directly that causes it.\n\nWhen you are lying down sleeping at night, the pressure of gravity and your weight on your spine and bones is dramatically reduced. This causes the bones in your spinal column to move back into where there should be and it releases the pressure on them. During the day as you walk around, move, and are on the go, the effects of gravity and your weight compress the bones in the spinal column making you appear shorter. When you are sleeping you are taller because there isn't pressure on you pushing down on you that what make you appear shorter.\n\nEDIT:\ni FINALLY found a link. It was so hard to find something, but they aren't that good but good enough. Look below.

I am throwing a 30th anniv for my parents. I need some advice...?

I'd say that you'll have to be strong on this one with your grandmother. If it's too hard to say that you only want to invite certain people and not all the extended family, see if you can pin it on the place where you're at (room to small, already committed to the head-count). There used to be a time when you could invite some people and not others and no one took offense to it. But nowadays in this "please me" society we are ever more careful not to offend. If questioned by relatives as to why they weren't invited to the party you can respond "I regret that we weren't able to invite every person we thought of!" and leave it at that. You owe no explanation beyond that. Hope that helps - have a great party!


are unions getting out of control, causing american jobs,by their demands on companys.?

Unions are OLD FASHIONED, yes unions brought us things like WEEKENDS, collective bargaining, striking power. But all of this is lost when you no longer have an unlimited pool of enployment. No unions are not out of control, what is out of control are executive pay scales. If you start a company with YOUR OWN money then you deserve whatever it is you want to take out, but if your like Micheal Eisner who ran Disney it was not his investment and was paid 100 million to do a job....

The dutch royal family is the house of Orange. Hence the colour.\n\n"The Dutch flag's original colors were orange, white and blue, but were changed to red, white and blue in the 17th century.
