what is the difference between being educated and literate?Is word educated correct to use to mean literate?

Let's deal with the sociopolitical aspects and the educational aspects separately.\n\n"Literate" means you are able to read.  It's possible to be literate in one language but not in another.  Literacy is a critical step to freedom:  you have access to a world full of information and no longer have to accept what others tell you.\n\n"Educated" is a value-loaded term.  That is, what subjects are considered important to know about is a culturally-determined thing.  An educated San tribesman needs to be able to recognise the tracks of two dozen creatures and assess the likelihood of finding water under a dry streambed by fingering a handful of the sand.  A person living in London and looking for work needs to know the things that most Londoners know, in addition to some skills that makes the person employable.  So the definition of "well educated" for an employer recruiting research assistants for the Political Science department of an American university is different from the definition that might be accepted by an employer recruiting a job foreman for a construction site in Nigeria.\n\nWhich brings us to the sociopolitical aspect of your question.  "Well educated" is situation-specific, as I've just described.  However, for employers to have an idea of what an applicant can be expected to know and do, there have to be some generally accepted standards of accomplishment.  That's what credentials are for, and they serve an important purpose in society.  THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT THEY DEFINE YOU.  Your credentials are useful for specific purposes, but the richness of your life experience and character isn't expressed by saying you have x educational credential.  Some folks end up a PhD and still don't know how to tie their own shoes or say a kind word to a stranger.


I have difficulty in reducing noise  in sigma a/d converter. Please inform possible solutions?

Need to have common mode noise rejection on the front end. \n\nLeads should have a ferrite bead or torus around a cable to prevent radio frequency interference from being transmitted down the wire.\n\nAliasing:\nTo avoid aliasing, the input to an ADC must be low-pass filtered to remove frequencies above half the sampling rate. This filter is called an anti-aliasing filter, and is essential for a practical ADC system.\n\nDither:\nIn A to D converters, performance can be improved using dither. This is a very small amount of random noise (white noise) which is added to the input before conversion. Its amplitude is set to be about half of the least significant bit. Its effect is to cause the state of the LSB to randomly oscillate between 0 and 1 in the presence of very low levels of input, rather than sticking at a fixed value. Rather than the signal simply getting cut off altogether at this low level (which is only being quantized to a resolution of 1 bit), it extends the effective range of signals that the A to D converter can convert, at the expense of a slight increase in noise - effectively the quantization error is diffused across a series of noise values which is far less objectionable than a hard cutoff. The result is an accurate representation of the signal over time. A suitable filter at the output of the system can thus recover this small signal variation.\n\nSampling Rate:\nSince a practical ADC cannot make an instantaneous conversion, the input value must necessarily be held constant during the time that the converter performs a conversion (called the conversion time). An input circuit called a sample and hold performs this task—in most cases by using a capacitor to store the analogue voltage at the input, and using an electronic switch or gate to disconnect the capacitor from the input.


Does anyone like to watch chess on TV?-I love to watch it!!!!?

YES!   I always watch it especially in the fall.  I hardly blink as they sit at the board deciding their next move.  I will only switch to the football game during commercials and then right back again...


Take time to really listen when he talks.  Ask questions about what he says not what you think he says.


why people choose a religion instead of just believe in god, coz religon just make diference and hate among us

Because people are different, and even if they believe in "god" (whichever one you mean) at one point, people change. I was baptized and raised Catholic, but it didn't make sense to me. So I researched all kinds of different religions, and figured out what made sense to me on my own (not just because someone told me to believe it), and eventually found Wicca to be the most logical for me. But just because Wicca works for me, doesn't mean it will work for everyone. Some people choose to believe in Buddhism instead, and that's fine because they're different than me. Some people choose Judaism, or Satanism, or Christianity, or Shamanism, or something else, and all those are fine, too. Forcing everyone to believe in one religion, even if they don't agree with it, is a concept practiced by communism. That's a political view where (basically) the government chooses what everyone is and is not allowed to do. People do not decide, as voting is not held. There is a constant that the government itself chooses for everyone in that country. People wear what they are told, believe what they are told, eat what they are told, live how they are told. Maybe that's the view you hold, but I support democracy. \n\nIf everyone should just be one religion, why only the one you specify? Why not a different one? Why not a polytheistic one? Or Agnosticism? Or Atheism?\n\nBesides, religion does not create hate. Intolerance is what creates hate. Read "Definitions, Mottos, etc." here to see what I mean: http://www.religioustolerance.org/\n\nHate usually only comes from religion when religious exclusivism is practiced.. That's why I believe in religious pluralism: http://www.religioustolerance.org/rel_plur.htm

before telescopes were invented, what did atronomers use to see the stars and the planets.?

eyes alone.But they were lucky enough that they had no elecricity and they viewed the sky during night with perfect dark back ground. When ever electic supply  fails in my town  I used to view the sky during night. I was able to see the stars and other planets clearly than when there was electic supply illuminating the town.


I recently had several tramadic events happen in a very short period of time-now I am in a constant daze......

Oh wow - that is so sad.  I am really sorry that you have gone through SOOOO much in this recent past.  I am sure it must feel like your world has just about crushed in around you.  :(  \n\nI can really see now why you wish you could just have it all be over with.  What you are feeling is completely normal.  I wish there was a quick fix for the way you were - but there really isn't.  :(   \n\nOne thing that you may or may not be into doing is this -  exercise... I know that you may not want to at this time - but it really is good for you - it elevates the endorphins which in turn helps to elevate your mood.  So while it won't make everything better - it can help you to cope with it a bit better than you might be right now.  \n\nI will keep you in my prayers tonight and pray for that "hole" in your heart to be healed and filled with the Love of God.  I had that "hole" at one point in my life... It is lonely and sad - it makes you feel like you just have no reason to exist... "what is the point of it all" I would ask my self all the time.  But I have survived that time.  Life has improved and I have seen the blessings of the Lord in my life. If I had died or never existed I would have never known what I know now -  I firmly believe that everything happens for a reason - both good and bad things.  We Learn from the bad in order to be able to help others to the other side... to be a shoulder to cry on - or to gain wisdom through it.  \n\nKeep truckin' along - you will get to a better place - it may take a long time - but you will get there.  Keep your eyes on the blue sky and try to look at positive things in life.  I know they may seem like few and far between, but they are there... take the moment to look at the beautiful pink or yellow blossom as it blooms into the new spring of this year.  Take the time to look at the white fluff clouds as they float around the blue sky and a lady bug lands on the leaf - or a butterfly flutters by.  Take joy in these small things... small improvements will help you.  \n\nWhen you have negative feelings try your hardest to push them out and possibly pray at that time if you have a relationship with God.  Ask for help and peace in this difficult time.  \n\nyou will be happy one day Hiedi23\n♥


There will be a 30% chance of rain tomorrow in southern California.  Temperatures will be around the 60's.


What exactly is meant by the term "Open API"?

API stands for Application Programing Interface.  Programmers open some interfaces up for other developers to use.  Open APIs imply that they're available for anyone to use.\n\nFor example, Flickr has a set of APIs that let you view your photo stream.  That makes it possible for someone else to build an application that scrolls through the most popular flickr tags on your desktop.


Did the son of God have a green card? Everyone I've met named Jesus is Hispanic, and many are illegal.?

Does it matter?  but since you asked....“Jesus” is simply a Late Hebrew or Aramaic version of the name Joshua. This name goes back to the prominent biblical figure Joshua, who after the death of Moses led the Israelites into the Promised Land and renewed their relationship with God

Why dont the Jehovah's witness salute the flag?

They consider it to be a symbol of something and to honor it would be as if worshiping an idol.  They believe in the part of the Bible that states give to Caesar that which is Casar's.

Does a Pseudoscientist  really not use the scientific method?

Is it possible to have ADD and Generlized Anxiety?

Yes it is possible but also consider that your symptoms might have changed between the psychologist and the psychiatrist.  Also, one symptom of genralized anxiety is difficulty concentrating.  Please consider meeting with another professional (counselor, psychiatrist, etc.) and discussing in detail what is going on to clarify a diagnosis.  (Any type of these mental health professionals can diagnose anxiety, ADD, and other DSM diagnoses).  Whoever you work with should be able to explain how you meet DSM criteria for a diagnosis - ADD, Generalized Anxiety, or anything else.

What is the answer to this system y > 5 - x   y< -3x + 3 ?

Both of the above answers are wrong. The solution to a system of inequalities is a graph, not an equation. Both of the inequalities you have are linear (since they have the same form as the line y = mx + b):\n\n* y > 5 - x is a line with slope -1 and y-intercept 5. Since the inequality sign is > (not >=, greater than or equal to), use a dotted line to graw the graph and shade ABOVE the line.\n\n* y < -3x + 3 is a line with slope -3 and y-intercept 3. Again you'll draw it dotted, but now you'll shade BELOW the line since the sign is less than.\n\nThe two shaded regions you just drew will overlap, and the solution to the system of equations is the region where they overlap.

Homosexuality is not illegal. Maybe you meant if homosexuals should have the same rights than straight people have, like getting married or adopting a child for example.\nYES, I think they should. If they have the same obligations than every citizen has, like paying taxes and living under the same rules, why can't they have the same rights?\nAs a matter of fact, a lot is being done in countries around the world, like Canada, where marriage between two people of the same sex is perfectly legal.\nI don't have anything against the US, but it really amazes me to see how in a country, which they claim to be the land of the free, most people and specially the government have such closed minds and such an unfair law system. It's not legal for two people of the same sex, with dreams and goals like everybody else to get married or even start a family. But at the same time, it's perfectly nice and legal for a brainless slu* like Britney Spears to get married and annul the whole thing not even 24 hours later. I don't know, it just doesn't make sense to me. \nIt's very simple, everything would be so much easier if everyone would just take care of their own business and let others be.


In the manic phase the individual has a very short attention span, demonstrates pressured speech, often engages in risky activities such as gambling, substance or alcohol use, or risky sexual behavior.  Often the person can go several days without requiring sleep.  Their family will report things like they are vigorously scrubbing the walls at 2:30 in the morning.  There seems to be a preference towards methamphetamine as the substance of choice if they are abusing substances.  The depressive phase can be very difficult to distinguish from other major depression - it is usually the manic phase that distinguishes the disorder as bipolar.\n\nThere are lesser versions of true bipolarism - hypomania and dysthymia with swings in mood that are not as drastic as full blown bipolarism.

Does the Catholic Church disagree with genetic engineering for babies?

Yes.  Genetic engineering is troublesome for the Catholic Church on two levels . . . first, the "playing God" factor.  But secondly, the Catholic Church has a very strong stance on marital relationships and procreation . . . sex is an activity that occurs between a husband and wife for the procreation of children and the unification of the couple.  "Sex" without either of these components is sinful.  From this ideology comes the Catholic Church's position against artifical insemination (there is no intercourse, no unification of the couple).  As I understand genetic engineering for babies, this is something that is done outside normal martial relations, so the Church would oppose it on those grounds as well.

My girl has doubt with gettin married to me,but she wants to be with me,wat shud i do or say?

Just because she asks for space doesn't mean its over, she just has to find peace with her insights about you. you should still call her and go see her and love her. maybe even going to see a marriage council may help. and yes they do offer help to engaged couples. to make her more at ease about you, invite her out with you and your friends and anything she needs to find peace. but still give her her space. If all else fails and problems seem to get worse, maybe it wasn't meant to be babe. all will work out in the end and good luck in your relationship, you deserve a good lady by your side!!! :P

It is possible to achieve this without leaving your country. Just listen to tapes, radio or television in English.

zillion \nFollowing the pattern of naming large multiples of 10 (as in million, billion, trillion, etc.), zillion (like similar sounding numbers) is an indefinite and fictitious large number, a unit of imprecise measurement, used in exaggeration. The size is dependant upon the context to which it is used, but can typically be considered large enough to be unfathomable by the average human mind. There are variations in spelling and synonyms such as zillion, jillion, gazillion, bajillion, bazillion, squillion, skillion, kabillion, kajillion, kabajillion, bagillion, skajillion, optillion, xellion. Following the pattern of other number names gazillion is larger than zillion.\n\nTypically, similar words are used in a humorous context, or used, perhaps childishly, in loose, unconfined conversation. The faux number is most commonly used when wishing to present an unguessably large number in a large, whether realistic or not, way. It is often used to impress someone with the concept of an ambiguous numerical enormousness.\nThis article is about the number. For the anime series, see Zillion (anime).

Although, dying is a natural part of life and we all think about it occasionally, if you're obsessively thinking about it, you may need to see a professional. Seeing someone doesn't make you unstable, it can only help you remain stable.  My concern is that your thoughts are persistent but also are intense and graphic at times, and you may need a medication to help with your thinking. If you've had a past history of depression, than this type of thinking is not uncommon. It wouldn't hurt to see a psychiatrist before your thoughts get out of control.    -a psych nurse

Ice skating is believed to have been started in Sweden over twelve hundred years ago by the Vikings. The runners, made of bones, were ground down until they formed a flat gliding surface, and thongs tied them to the feet. The blades were polished oxen or reindeer bones. These weren't very efficient, so they used a long stick to push themselves forward and stay upright. Skates were originally used for transportation over the frozen rivers and later used for fun. Skating has been found to date back to 50 B.C. It was most common to skate where there are long, cold winters especially in places like Scandinavia.\n\n \nThe Skater, 1782, a portrait of William Grant by Gilbert Stuart.In the 17th century, canal racing on wooden skates with iron blades was popular in the Netherlands. Also in that century, James, the younger son of the British monarch Charles I, came to the Netherlands in exile, and he fell for the sport. When he went back to England, this "new" sport was introduced to the British aristocracy.\n\nIn the 18th century, ice skating became known world-wide as a sport and the Dutch created skates with much longer blades.


List international protocols signed by Nigeria Goverment?

The question in its present form is unanswerable.  What kind of international protocols?  UN, continental, regional?  Do you want a list of every single one?  Hundreds of international protocols exist, and it would be difficult and potentially worthless to compile them all.  Do you want any particular areas, such as terrorist protocols or trade protocols?  Performing Google searches on the name of the type of protocol should yield the desired result.

The Only way you could do that is if you and your children were physically living with whoever you were going to let claim them on thier taxes for at least 7 months out of 12 for that tax year, plus they have to be able to claim head of household because if you were working and lived with that person for the alotted time but you made more money than them, they can't do it.

first recognize that its a curve by its spin. (It should be spinning on a sort of axis around the top area of the baseball.) Then just wait on it and swing. Be careful if it starts outside because if its any good it will curve out of your reach,also watch for the inside curve because it will break in for a strike. (This is for a righty pitching to a righty)

You will probably be turned down hundreds of times but if you want it that badly, you will stick with it.


Who all is into witchcraft and is experianced with spells?

I have been Wiccan for 8 years.  Wiccans believe that everyone has a clairvoyant/magickal potential.  So of course, for the better part of that 8 years I have been casting spells.  Most of my spells deal with healings, aura cleansings, divinations, and power channelings.  Although I have also done seances, bindings, protections, and exorcisms.  These are rarer forms of magick but good to know if the need arises.  \n\nI'd love to chat further, but I'd like have more info on what intentions you have for your magick.  \n\nIf you have yahoo IM you can add me.  Valhallabridge.\n\nThe big things to remember about Wicca is that we vow not to harm others.  To do so would only inflict harm upon ourselves threefold.

I have been to Haiti on three occasions and though I have never seen a Zombie I know they exist through my Haitian Friends. They are not dead, but they are given a strong drug that simulates death. The person that drugged them, digs up their body after the funeral and uses it as a slave. There is a spiritual side of this as well,so it is a combination of using Voodoo, and drugs that allows this to happen. Watch the film, "The Serpent and the Rainbow" or ask someone that has lived in Haiti that is comfortable enough with you to tell you what they know. I have heard crazy stories, all from people that I know are honest.

Looking for a supplement to aid in bodybuilding that is enexpensive but works very well...Please help!?

There are ways you can naturally raise your growth Hormones in your body...., that is the cheapest way without spending any money..., which works good and believe me..., it works... These things you should do...\n\n1) Reduce your BMI\n2) But only drop a pound a week\n3)Skip the Atkins Fad\n4) Have morning sex or when you do your deed..., do it then\n5) Do more compound exercises..., squats, deadlifts, bench press\n6) Eat nuts before you go to bed, peanuts are good\n7) Reduce your reps to about 5 reps with three sets\n8) Rest\n9) no alcohol..., if you do..., just have a couple on a friday night or once in a blue moon...\n10) Go to bed early...\n\nThe cheatest that works very well..., from my experience both glutamine and creatine work the best..., even better if you had some protein powder... With the creatine and glutamine..., cycle on..., three weeks on.., three weeks off... Glutamine.., take on an empty stomach or your wasting your money..., creatine is best taken after your workout with a protein shake...\n\nBoth glutamine and creatine are naturally produced in your body..., for some people..., creatine doesn't work for them because their body's already produce alot of it.. Brands.., they all claim to be the best..., but creatine is creatine..., same with glutamine..., it's like saying I have the best bottle water..., water is water..., so go with the cheapest brand..., as long as it is pure...\n\nMy thought..., I use to take glutamine..., creatine and a few more supplements a few years back..., they do help..., but not as much as I hoped... I keep them in my house in case I go too hard an injury myself or a muscle group but that's it... All weight lifters..., body builders..., power lifters know that it takes time to develop strength as muscle... You don't really need supplements


my boyfriend want to wax his legs. should i let him?

What are dennotative and connotative meanings of words mean?

dennotative is the exact meaning of the word that can be looked up in the dictionary (I always remember this because they both start with the letter D)\n\nconnotative is the meaning people project onto the word.\n\nFor example take the word "United States of America" the dennotative meaning would be "a country consisting of 50 states" a connotative meaning would be "freedom"\n\nI hope this helps.

Very possibly a blister caused by the back of your shoe.  If it does not hurt, don't worry about it.  However, it may hurt once it breaks open, so you may want to cover it with a bandage large enough to fit down into the shoe, so it is not rubbed off by the edge of the shoe.

people were under a dictatorial rule of Qin Shihuandi, then again, all rulers were dictatorial in the ancient times. the former states in China were ordered to write in one language, which is a good thing considering that language is important in solidifying an empire. but the qin dynasty didn't last. after Qin Shihuandi died, Xiang Yu led his Chu forces and defeated Qin. then the Han under the leadership of Liu Ban defeated Chu, and formed the Han dynasty.

why do lots of people die of heart problems and cancer????

People die of heart disease because of the diet and lifestyle we lead.  We have evolved to eat certain diet. Fat was never abundant in the past and our heart and vessels never learned how to deal with it.\n\nAs far as cancer goes, at least part of the answer is that we have learned how to treat many diseases, allowing for people to live longer and acquire cancer.  Since we do not yet know how to treat that so well, that is what people die from.


Do you view hamas as terreriosts or freedom fighterS? look it up before u answer please.?

Do you view the american patriots who won freedom from Britain as terrorists or freedom fighters...do you view israeli settlers in occupied territories as terrorists or freedom fighters...it depends on your position...palestineans blow up busses with human bombs, israelis blow up apartment buildings with helicopter gunships and harass people daily....there isn't an absolute answer here...there are those who will claim otherwise but they will just be arguing their position...there is no peace until all people are viewed with dignity and respect.  There will be no peace as long as we continue to label human beings as enemy....

activities that should be avoided to prevent negative impact on children age 6 to 11?

Avoid fighting in front of them.  \n\nDon't do anything in front of them that you don't want them to do - smoke, drink, etc.  They learn mostly by your actions, not your words.  \n\nNever use force or violence or shouting to settle an issue.  \n\nIf you are separated or divorced from their other parent, never bad mouth that parent to them.\n\nNever prevent them from knowing their grandparents, unless there are very serious extenuating circumstances - it can't be just because you don't like the grandparents or don't get along with them.  There is nothing in this world as special and as precious as a grandparent's love.\n\nDon't ever lie in front of them, even to save face yourself.  They will remember that it is ok to lie.\n\nNever let them go to bed while you are upset with them.  Always resolve the issue.\n\nNever let them go to bed without saying "I love you."\n\nNever over-protect them by permitting them to avoid reasonable responsibility for their actions.  \n\nDon't give them a TV and computer in their bedroom.  Those items should be community property and in sight of all.\n\nDon't overwhelm them with academic expectations.  The question should be "Did you do your best?", not "Did you get an A?"\n\nDon't always believe that the problem at school wasn't their fault.\n\nDon't do everything for them.  Teach them independence and responsiblity by allowing them, and expecting them, to do some chores.  But don't expect perfection.  Accept their honest efforts - the messy room won't last forever.\n\nDon't ever say "When I was your age ....." in a way that suggests they are not good enough.\n\nI hope these thoughts help.  They are a few of the things I have learned over the years.


How do compensatory picks work in the NFL?

When a team looses free agents, not by releasing them, depending on how they perform they can recieve picks for them.  It is kinda a guess work as to exactly how.  The league commitee or something just gives them out.  Like the other guys said, a secret formula.

what is a three-dimentional  geometric figure?


is wearing black colour clothes under the sun is hot or warm?

That actually depends...Black as a color readilly absorbs heat so wearing black clothes would really be warmer. Now, you may wonder why Middle Eastern people wear those heavy looking dark robes...in the middle of the friggin desert? As mentioned black or dark colors absorb heat faster than light colors. So what happens is that those robes absorbs heat faster than the surrounding area. Warm air, as you know, rises. Thus those robes create a well ventilated zone. Being warmer than the surrounding area... cooler air rushes in or displaces the warm air...creating a light breeze.

Is it possible or even better to learn programming from the bottom up?

I would say it depends upon what you're looking to do with it.\n\nI started with Basic as a kid and worked my way into Pascal, C, and C++.  Was it better to go this way than to learn assembly or other low-level methods?  Since I mostly needed to rapidly develop solutions as opposed to developing low-level functionality like drivers, BIOS and such, it worked out just fine for me.


Does anyone know of a work at home job doing customer service?

Most people who work at home and are successful are doing one of two things - getting paid a commission on everyone they convince to join the program (also known as MLM or pyramid plans) OR they have their own business. Your own business is something you create yourself, not find on the internet. You create it based on your skills, your passions not on what someone else tells you is the GREATEST thing going.\n\nIf you are looking at one of the endless "opportunities" out there be careful - most are scams. Here are a few questions you should ask to help figure out if the one you are looking at is for real or not.\n\nLegitimate work-at-home program should tell you - in writing - what's involved in the program they are selling. Here are some questions you might ask:\n\n* What tasks will I have to perform? (Ask the program to list every step of the job.)\n* Will I be paid a salary or will my pay be based on commission?\n* Who will pay me?\n* When will I get my first paycheck?\n* What is the total cost of the work-at-home program, including supplies, equipment and membership fees?\n* What will I get for my money?

Were can I find some good apologetic resorces.?

You must know the scripture well and the different views of it before you try apologetics.\n\nOne of my favorite websites is http://www.monergism.com/\n\nYou can look up "atheism", "apologetics", "creation"...and so on.  Once you have read the scriptures and studied, then you will be prepared.\n\nPlease be careful, the bible is meant to guide believers and to display God's love and forgiveness.  I have used it as a weapon against non-believers.  I used it in an immature way.\n\nNever forget\nTitus 3:3-5 (NKJV)  \n    For we ourselves were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful and hating one another. [4] But when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared, [5] not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, \n\nShow the kindness and love of our God.


Why do girls laugh at a guy when he gets kicked in the balls?

We cannot relate at all, I don't think there is a place on a woman's body that is so sensitive and vulnerable.  We have no concept of the level of pain it causes, if the girls are young they might be laughing partly because they are more aware of a guys package when so much attention is being drawn to it.  Also it is a very different behavior for guys who are usually kinda cocky to be laying on the ground and cupping their balls.  People laugh instinctively at things that are out of the ordinary, most of us aren't happy that some one gets hurt cuz it lightens our mood, we just laugh as an instinct.


There are many reasons your throat could be sore. It may be acid reflux. Taking Pepcid AC "may" alleviate it.\nMaybe you're sleeping under a fan? Try turning it off.\nMaybe the air in your home is too dry & you need to run a humidifier.\nMaybe you have post nasal drip & need to try a sinus med.\nGo buy something called Kefir. It's a drinkable yogurt. 9 X more potent that yogurt, & a hint more tart. It boosts the immune system. You can also try some goldenseal/echinacea.\nGood luck. Hopefully, something will ring a bell...

what do yu think of the protest that are being made by students against this new bill abut illegal aliens?

If someone is doing something else illegal in usa, and we help them, it's a crime called "aiding and abedding." So I guess they want to make the same law apply for illegal immigration. Seems pretty fair to me. \nThe students are probably protesting coz they don't want their parents, other relatives or friends going to jail or deported. On the other hand, the other citizens of the country are demanding something be done about ILLEGAL immigration.\nMy relative is a legal immigrant. He had to do a lot of paperwork and pay money to come here. It's fair any foreigner has to do the same.


rainyday and sailor diva have the right idea.  I think from knowing someone like this that she just wants to feel good about herself so she "brags" about things that aren't really reality.  As long as she isn't being hurtful to you, and you are her friend, I say just let her.  Smile and say great and change the subject.  She will probably out grow this when she actually feels good about herself in a relationship.

What is shared memory systems and other information about it?

today the video information that flows on any computer is supported by some ammount of memory, that depends on the model manufacturer, if it si on board, etc. the video boards that you buy separately to install on a computer have built-in some amount of RAM Memory, but in the case of the on board video cards, they uses the same memory you have instralled for your computer, and in most cases you can select how many memory of your pc you wish to SHARE with the video card, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128 or 256 MB, it depends of the total amount of memory on your computer and the bios options, the most memory you share, the best video performance, but less computer available resources. with other devices ocuurrs the same.


how can i put my site in yahoo search i mean when i search for ocs.cjb.netwichismy site iwant to find ananswre


Do you think the computer has contributed to the decline of the English language/grammar?

Yes, I agree. It makes people look unintelligent when they don't use proper english...let's face it, it isn't that difficult. Unfortunately language is always developing. I think that when they have developed effective and wide spread voice recognition for computers then this type of thing should correct itself.


there is a guy i am truly in love with and his roomate,my brother,told me he slept with my sister?

What reason do your brother and your sister have to lie to you. They are your family and should always tell you the truth. Is far as leaving him goes, that's up to you. It sounds like you don't trust him and that is not good. You are having a baby with the man so even if you leave him your going to have to deal with him still.  If you love him I would say stay with him, but don't marry him untill your sure that you trust him.


Did Archie Bunker really know that all of the stupid conservetives would vote for Bush.?

You were supposed to root for Meathead.  He was the one who wanted to do good to the world.  Unfortunately, we've ended up in a society where the majority would rather have someone else think for them - no matter how many times they mess things up.\n\nPS Any real Conservatives would never, ever, support Bush.  He's limited States and Personal Rights, increased the size and scope of the government, overstepped the bounds of both Church and State AND Balance of Power and he spends more money then a drunk Ted Kennedy with a checkbook in Vegas.

If the credit collector sued you in court and won, there are additional statutes of limitations on collecting the debt, and is different for each state.\n\nI provide two links, one for statute of limitations on debt collection, and the other is the statue of limitation on judgements.\n\nAlso, make sure it is a legal court document, credit collection agencies are very creative with their documents.\n\nYou can also check your credit reports, it the judgement is valid it will appear on your credit report.  \n\nF.Y.I. You can get a free copy of your credit report, by law, once a year.\n\nThe 3 credit reporting agencies are:\n\n1. Transunion - transunion.com\n2. Equifax - equifax.com\n3. Experian - experian.com

Why is televangelism not viewed as harmful to those of the christian faith?

Well actually quite a few of us Christians don't like televangelists. We're well aware that a lot are greedy and are basically stealing from their followers. Many of them preach VERY false dangerous doctrines though once in a blue moon a decent preacher gets on TV, but sadly without all the flash and glitter, they dont last long :(


If dogs go to heaven , do fleas also go?

Fleas have a Special Heaven, ruled by Fleezus Christ, filled with blood and fluffy pillows of pet hair. \n\nThe christian response would probably be that they don't get the "good heaven" that man does, because they aren't as special. After all, they don't push religion on other fleas, burn them at stakes or file lawsuits.

All congruent figures are similar. Congruent means they have the same exact shape, similar means they have the same shape (same angle measures), but different sizes (side lengths). So, if you say two triangles are congruent, then they are also similar.

should i install direct x? what does it do?

A set of Windows interfaces from Microsoft for programming graphics and sound. Windows developers program to the DirectX APIs, and the manufacturers of sound cards and display adapters write DirectX drivers to be included with their hardware. DirectX provides a high-level interface for accessing low-level functions "directly." It accesses the hardware abstraction layer in Windows \n\nThe first DirectX API was introduced in late 1995 to encourage game developers to move their software to Windows. Before DirectX, games for the PC were written in DOS in order to redraw the screen fast enough for realtime animation. To obtain the speed, gaming companies had to write drivers for a variety of display adapters, which was a development headache.\n\nA Single Graphics Interface for Windows\n\nDirectX provides the interface to access the frame buffer and advanced features of the display adapter, which are not provided in the standard Windows GDI graphics interface. When DirectX was introduced, display adapter vendors were quick to develop DirectX drivers that would expose low-level functions of their hardware to the application.\n\nEmulate Graphics Functions in Software\n\nThrough the Hardware Emulation Layer (HEL), DirectX is capable of emulating graphics functions in software that are not built into the display adapter (video card)\n\nWhich DirectX Version Is Running?\n\nTo determine which version of DirectX is installed in your PC, select Run from the Start menu, type in dxdiag and click OK. Look under System Information for the DirectX Version number\n\nnow it is up to to install or not.it is need for it that makes you install this.

Does it make you lose weight if you are just eating oatmeals for a month?

Eating only one type of food, even "healthy" food, is never good, as you will be missing out on a lot of nutrients and vitamins. You may make yourself sick. While you could lose weight eating only oatmeal, I wouldn't reccomend it.\nIf you want to lose weight, you'll need burn more calories than you consume. This may mean eating less or exercising more, or both. But no matter what be sure to eat a balanced diet with a variety of foods.


Air dissolves in water, it is said. Can polluted air dissolve in water?

Yes gasses in the air (oxygen, nitrogen, CO2, etc.) dissolve in the water (hence the fish and algae breath). Also many pollutants also dissolve in water (much easier than the gasses). If they are present in the air they will dissolve in the water, either by transfer (just the pollutants, not the gasses) or with the gasses.


What is the safest place in California and why?

Earthquakes happen a LOT. Most of them are too faint to detect, except with sophisticated devices. So the truth is, earthquakes are far less scary than you may think. Earthquakes of 4.0+ on the Richter Scale (the threshold above which people can actually feel quakes) aren't daily occurences, and the truly terrifying quakes (6.0+) are far rarer than tornadoes and hurricanes. You get major quakes maybe once or twice a decade.\n\nBut if that's not enough to assuage you, then you should know that the major faultlines run north to south through California. That means most of the state is vulnerable to temblors.\n\nBut I've lived here my entire life. I've felt my share of shake-ups, and it doesn't scare me. Big quakes are rare enough that they don't bother people.

can someone tell me whats the limited number of carbs a diabetic can have at one meal?

The answer depends on the amount of insulin you are taking.  If you are on a two shot a day regimen then you have a certain number of carbs, proteins, and fats to eat at each meal and within specified times.  If you are taking pills your doctor also prescribed a certain diet to follow.\n\n15 grams of carbs are typically counted as a serving.  Depending on the meal you may be alloted 1 to three servings.  Keep in mind that not only the amount of carbs but the type of carbs you eat will also have an effect on your blood sugar.  Complex carbs such as whole grains and brown rice will cause a slower rise in blood sugar then carbs found in simple carbs such as twinkies and white bread.


How do you know when you have found someone that might be the "one"?

You will know an no one will have to tell you when you make the right decision. Listen to your heart and nothing else.


If you had reason to believe your grandmother was going to pass away, then that "reason" might have happened and your dream was just an expression of that fear.  I've had that happen before.\n  But then again, the dream may have been a premonition of the concept of your grandmother's death, and your mind just expressed it in a different manner.  It's darn near impossible for me to tell if it was a premonition or not.  Only you or a psychic could.\n  I think it was, though.

It depends completly on the cause.  Meds can be key to avoiding the seizures in many individuals.  Others must avoid triggers such as flashing light, stress, exposure to spacific substances and other causitive factors.  Only by having a thorough neurological workup and diagnosis can one learn what they must do to minamize the occurance of seizures.  If you've  been diagnosed aready, sit down with your doctor and ask them to help you devises a stratagy to help you. And pay attention to things you find that may happen just before one occures.  Others close to you can be invaluble sources of this information, if you suffer any pre-seizure memorey impairment.


in this age of sientific miricals are we in need of the sience of the soul. or what things have souls?

There is no scientific evidence for souls.  Thus, they may very well not exist at all, like unicorns, fairies, and friendly Parisians.  Science does not address everything, and is not meant to answer all important questions.  Science only is effective in questions in which a clear hypothesis can be made, and repeatable evidence collected and measured to support or refute that hypothesis.  Questions such as the existence of God, what love is, what is beautiful, are not things that can be quantitated and measured, and thus science is not the proper venue to find the answer.

Does a sunless or spray tan look real and not orange?????

Depends on what kind of sunless tanning you're doing. If you decide to go the mystic tan route you will look a little orange the first time you go, but its a layered effect you need to go more than once for it to look real. Now if you are buying something at the store to put on your self, your best bet for something that looks real is the L'Oreal sunless tanner. That is the best thing to use. It doesn't look streaky or orange.\n\nBut if you're still worried about looking like an Umpa Loompa then just go natural. Embrace your own beauty. Red hair with fair skin are beautiful, look at Nicole Kidmon. Natural is always the best.\nGood luck!

Anyone know of any programs/internships/job in Israel for a non-Jew? Or is the idea feeble?

If you have a profession of clear skill you may be able to get a work permit to work in Israel as a doctor/hi-tech person/whatever.\nOtherwise you can join a variety of volunteer programs.  You can work on kibbutz, a cooperative agricultural community, volunteer for MDA - the Red Star of David, whatever...\nYou can also go to Israel and switch from a tourist visa to work permit - it helps to be educated and capable of being gainfully employed.\nYou can also work under the table.\n\nCheck out http://www.wzo.org.il/en/programs/\nSome programs may not accept non-Jews.  This may be because the program is of a religious nature, or because they are funded with the specific goal of encouraging Jews to move to Israel.  But it's a good idea to try anyway. \nOut of curiousity - why Israel?

you don't get wide... after the first time ... ask a doctor... you are sorely misinformed... having sex does not change the size of your  genitalia...the first time and often several times after the woman may experience pain since the Hyman  breaks if it has not already been broken  due to any sports activity in your life, and the woman's body has to adjust  to   sexual activity... but it does not change the width...and baby based on the questions you have asked... your not really that informed to begin with...


what are the preventins of epidemiology cardiovascular diseases on elderly?

Many factors contribute to cardiovascular disease. Some risk factors include smoking, and a high LDL cholesterol level (and a low HDL level). As we get older our arteries naturally harden. Factors like diet and smoking can increase this effect. Also, the nicotine in cigarettes increases cardiac output which increases blood pressure and puts more strain on the system. Always avoid smoking and foods that are high in saturated fats and trans-fatty acids. However, the interplay of genetics and environment makes it such that even the greatest diet/lifestyle may not be enough in some people and they will therefore require medical intervention.

I hace mild numbness in my pinky and a little in my index finger assuming its pinced nerve by my elbow because

it's a nerve thing alright, but probably not in your elbow . . the nerve stretches up and back to your shoulder blade and probably it's your posture and work habbit at the computer . . . if you go to a doctor they can't do anything except try to aleviate [sp] the pain . . . \n\nyoga or stretching is a very good thing . . . a physical therapist or massuse (legit one) is also a really good recomendation . . .\n\nto relieve a pinched or pressed nerve you need to remove the tension in your muscles and figure out a way to reposition your body placement.  \n\nHeated yoga (yoga in a heated room)  a very warm bath with epsom salts.  A massage, stretching and if you can be inclined it would be a good idea to do some sort of daily excersize (doesn't have to be anything extreme, even a walk for an hour)  \n\nAnd if you really want to get into it do some local research and see if you can find an Alexander Technique teacher.  It's a body movement and control technique mainly used for actors and dancers . . but the process is just a familiararity of the body and obtaining full awareness & control of it.

answer depends on arrangement.  \n\nSA = area of top + bottom + left side + right + front + back.\nif 1x1x24, SA = 24+24+24+24+1+1 = 98 sq cm, \nif 1x2x12, SA = 24+24+12+12+2+2 = 76 sq cm,\nif 1x3x8, SA = 24+24+8+8+3+3 = 70 sq cm,\nif 1x4x6, SA = 24+24+6+6+4+4 = 68 sq cm,\nif 2x2x6, SA = 12+12+12+12+4+4 = 56 sq cm,\nif 2x3x4, SA = 12+12+8+8+6+6 = 52 sq cm.\n\nnotice how the SA gets smaller as the arrangement becomes more compact.


Is certifcation need for auto extrication in NJ?

i don't know the exact standard, but yes, you do need a certain amount of training before you can begin to extricate someone... or you should anyhow (not all departments enforce what their supposed to...) Certification can from form a fire academy (such as Morris County or Middlesex...) or from a tool manufacturer/ distributer in a formal class setting.  Anyone who is untrained should not handle the tool outside a training scenario.


What if Star Wars was mistaken for a true story similar to JESUS....?

People HAVE mistaken it for a true story.\n\nI believe it started in Australia. There were some people that, when Star Wars was first released there, claimed "Jedi" as their religion on the country's census so it would be added as a legally recognized faith. They then proselytized people into believing it, and made money off of them by "teaching them how to use the Force." Because of these people's scam, there are now some people who religiously believe in the Force, the Sith, the Jedi, etc. and call themselves Jedi.\n\nRegardless of that, I've always had a pending theory in the back of my mind: what if the Bible is just a fiction story gone wrong? Not that I think the religion is wrong, but if it were a fiction story, it would be horribly wrong that so many people take it for truth, and many even kill in the name of one or another of the characters. It is a possibility. It was written over a period of hundreds of years by different authors, some picking up where the others left off. There are projects like this that go on all over the place. Someone writes a paragraph/sentence/page/whatever and then the next person picks up where they left off and writes another paragraph/sentence/page/whatever, and then the next person, and the next person, ad nausium. "Bible" translates to "library," and what is a library? A collection of books, some based on fact, some based on fiction. The authors could have very well used fact to base their stories on to make it more believable. If this all were true, I wonder what the authors would think about all the people who take it seriously, and the countless numbers of them committing terrors from its "teachings."

How come a good down to earth country girl has such a hard time findin a good guy that will treat her good?

Take your time with dating, find who out who you are first so that you can find the right type of guy who will treat you with proper respect and love you for you and not who he wants you to be, and the reason why it is hard to find the good guy is because they are either married, gay or are looking for the right woman.
