Sleeping in complete darkness is important for our health. If there is even the tiniest bit of light in the room it can disrupt our circadian rhythms and our pineal gland's production of melatonin and seratonin. There also should be as little light in the bathroom as possible if you get up in the middle of the night. Keeping the light off when you go to the bathroom at night will also help you return to a sound, healthy sleep.


Me and my wife would like to know where is a romantice place to vacation?

Key West, Florida is great. We went on our honeymoon there and always return as a family. It has great sunrises and sunsets. It is like old Florida and as close to being in an adventure or pirate movie as you can get in the USA today.

How can I find out if my deceased dad had life insurance?

try looking through old bank statements for checks paid to insurance companies.  You can also try local agents if that is who he worked through, or check to see who his homeowners policy was with as they may have helped with life insurance as well.  if all else fails, you can write form letters to a bunch of companies to see if policy was on file.

Need help with this problem.I know the answer just don't understand how to get it.?

Assign the page with smaller typing the value of x.\nAssign the page with larger typing the value of y.\n\nMake two equations from information you know.\nx+y=21   (total number of pages)\n2400x + 1800y = 48000     (total number of words)\n\nSolve for one variable (x)\n\nx+y=21\nx=21-y\n\nSubstitute your value of x into the second equation and solve for y.\n\n2400x + 1800y = 48000\n2400(21-y) + 1800y = 48000\n50400 - 2400y + 1800y = 48000\n-600y = -2400\ny = 4\n\nSubstitute y into your equation to solve for x.\n\nx=21-y\nx=21-4\nx=17\n\nTherefore you will have 17 pages of small type and 4 pages of large type.\n\nTo check your answer substitute your values for x and y into your beginning equation.\n\n17(2400) + 4(1800) = 48000\n40800 = 7200 = 48000\n\nI hope this makes the question clearer for you.


What is better, a private school, public school, or home school?

i guess they all have their own downsides public schools can be crowded private schools are expensive with a certain genre of people and home schooling doesnt give you all of the social aspects you may need in life. i think it all depends on the certain child and what their specific needs are


Definitions of countable and uncountable numbers, and that of a subset.what's Gap between-ve and+ve infinity.

It would be countable and uncountable *sets*, not numbers.\n\nWe say that a set is countable if it is in one-to-one correspondence with some subset of the set of natural numbers (1,2,3,...). The collection of rational numbers turns out to be countable.\n\nWe say that a set is uncountable if it is not countable. ;) The set of real numbers turns out to be uncountbale, but there are many, many sets that are even larger.\n\nWe say that a set A is a subset of the set B if every element of A is in B, but not necessarily the other way around. So the set of natural numbers form a subset of the set of real numbers.\n\nA tensor is a multilinear map on a vector space. Way too much theory for this space.\n\nGiven a *function* f, an inverse function g, is one where the compositions fog and gof are both the identity map.\n\nThe gap between +ve and -ve infinity makes no real sense unless you simple mean the set of real numbers.


Why is it that when Palestinians Fight for thier RIGHTS they are called names. like "Terrorists" "Criminals"?

Jews are not chosen by anyone much less God.But they suffered inhuman treatment from Nazis and are facing insults from Neonazis.For Jews it is a question of survival.They get military support from U.S.A.whose presidents need electoral support from immigrant Jews.Jerusalam(literally means land of peace)is divided into three parts theologically and emotionally among Christians,Jews and Muslims.(Past) History does not decide present politics.One country`s terrorists are another country`s freedom fighters.One hopes Jews and Palestinian Muslims recognise the right of each other`s existence,and super powers co operate with both to find lasting peace.May God help all.

No, first cousin twice removed. She's a first cousin to your son/daughter, once removed to your grandson/granddaughter, and twice removed from your great granddaughter. If she was your great great niece, she'd be third cousin.


You have to draw the lines and mark the points.\nIf Cp has a 90 degree angle with the line you just draw and crosses it right in the middle, then you have graphic proof that it is the perpendicular (which means it has a 90 degree angle) bisector (which means that it splits another line in two halfs).

how easy or hard is it to get a small business grant? does it require alot of red tape?

It is hard to find grants to start a business. Unlike the myths that some perpetuate, federal government and even private foundations hardly give grant money for a for-profit business. And yes, grants mean PAPERWORK - lots and lots of it, that is why a cottage industry of grant writers was born.\n\nNonetheless, you can go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) http://www.cfda.gov and Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov - these are two sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. Browse through the listings and see if you can find any grant that would support a for-profit venture.\n\nEven if you buy books on "how to get grants" or list that supposedly has information on grants -- all of them are mere rehash of what CFDA has, albeit packaged differently. But still the info is the same - hardly any grants for starting a for profit business.\n\nEven SBA does NOT give out grants. From the SBA website http://www.sba.gov/expanding/grants.html... \n\n"The U.S. Small Business Administration does not offer grants to start or expand small businesses, although it does offer a wide variety of loan programs. (See http://www.sba.gov/financing for more information) While SBA does offer some grant programs, these are generally designed to expand and enhance organizations that provide small business management, technical, or financial assistance. These grants generally support non-profit organizations, intermediary lending institutions, and state and local governments."\n\nMost of the federal grants are given to specific target groups with specific requirements (e.g. minority business owners involved in transportation related contracts emanating from DOT - Grant#20.905 Disadvantaged Business Enterprises Short Term Lending Program \n\nGrants are also often given to non profit groups or organizations involved in training or other similar activities (grant 59.043 Women's Business Ownership Assistance that are given to those who will create women's business center that will train women entrepreneurs \n\nFor private grants, you may want to check the Foundation Center's Foundation Grants for Individuals Online. It's a subscription based website ($9.95 per month) but their opening blurb only says that the database is ideal for "students, artists, academic researchers, libraries and financial aid offices." Entrepreneurs are apparently not one of them, so I take it they also don't have listings of private foundations who give grants to would-be entrepreneurs.

when I ejaculate all thats coming out is the clear fluid, I dont think there is any sperm there anymore?

Undoubtedly there would be sperm in the contents that you are ejaculating.  There are about 250K per ejaculation so even if the volume is reduced, maybe only 100K.  Indeed about 90% of your semen (ejaculate) is produced from the prostate (a walnut sized organ that sits at the neck of your bladder/urethra and produces the seminal fluid we are discussing) and is supportive to sperm in the fertilization process once in the vagina.  Notice that the thick seminal fluid seems to "melt" and change character within a few minutes of being ejaculated - that's prostatic product. \n\nAs others have pointed out, multiple ejaculations without time to recover will account for the change in ejaculate appearance.  Rest a few days without ejaculating and I suspect the appearance will be back to a thicker, white fluid.  Do not assume you are no longer fertile and then have unprotected sex, lest we will start calling you parent.

If this is for homework you really should do the work yourself.  Everyone thinks Shakespeare is confusing because of the complicated language, but there really are some fun stuff in his plays, and some of it isn't that different then todays movies.  Shakespere used a lot of sex, violence, and paranormal.  The trick is don't read it.  It was never meant to be read directly. It wasn't even written down originally, just memorized by actors. Go rent Romeo and Julitte, and see it performed. If they are good actors they will convey it in a way that's easier to understand. Another good resource is: http://absoluteshakespeare.com\n\nAny, Act II starts out with the famous "balcony scene" where Juliet wishes Romeo wasn't Montague.  He overhears it and says he loves her so much he'll swear off the name. They complain for a while about dealing with the problem of being from feuding families, then fter some shameless flirting Romeo proposes.  Juliet says she'll think about it and send her nurse to answer tomorrow.  Romeo goes and tells Friar Laurence what he's done and the Friar accuses Romeo of just trying to get into Juliet's pants, expecially since yesterday he was telling the Friar he was in love with Rosalind.  Be he agrees to wed them because he thinks it will solve the feud between the families.  In the mean time Rome's friends give him a hard time, Juliet's Nurse agrees to help, and ends with them secretly getting married.\n\nFor an even funnier version rent The Complete Works of Wllm Shkspr (abbridged) by the Reduced Shakespere company.  Also rend the recent Romeo and Juliet movie by Baz Luhrmann (the guy that did Moulin Rouge)

Where can I invest my IRA funds (100K plus)in an Index Fund with reasonable security and a good return?

If you invest in a Index Fund, it follows the index that you have selected.  You are just using the historical average of the specific index.  Security is not part of the factor in any index.  An index fund is designed to follow the index (Dow Jones, S&P500, NASDAQ) closely.  Historically, the indexes have done well since they follow a set of companies attached to the index.  There will always be up and downs.

determine the number of moles of the first substance that would be the chemically equivalent amount of the 2nd

for each one you are given a ratio i am assuming you are combining them both, make sure you write out a balanced equation for each one to make sure, some may not be a 1 to 1 ratio, next Molarity=mol/L therfore 1M = 1 mol per liter, use your periodic table to figure out the molecular weight for each one, each one of these is a strong acid, strong base reaction, therefore they will create water as a product and a salt, in the first one you are given 1.0 mol of HCl which is reacting w/ NaOH 1 to 1, therefore you only need to convert to # of moles of NaOH i am assuming you can do this hopefully this helps

If you had a football team, what would you name them?

They'd be in Las Vegas and be the Centurians. Their logo would be a dark green circle with a roman gladiator in the middle with the word Centurian going across. The colors would be dark green and black. And just incase you're wondering, the stadium would be called the Colliseum II.\n\nI would bring them to Las Vegas because even though the players have a better chance of getting in trouble, it is the perfect sail. People come in and out and maybe some of them would like to go to a football game instead of going to a casino.

i believe that we, ourselves are as you call them, angels. yes, there is evil in the world, but there is this amazing capacity in eveything and everyone for so much good! i think that in the very smallest acts, others can uplift souls, mend broken hearts, and draw those who have ever known naught but darkness into the light of life, and the joy and sorrow it brings daily.i do not pretend to know anything about what lies beyond our small understanding of the world around us, but yes, i do believe in angels. just the everyday kind.

are there any statistics about the people who have intolerance of lactose in turkey?

LactOse is a sugar found in milk and dairy products. LactOse intolerance is due to a deficiency (I hesitate to use that word, because mammals have evolved to digest milk in early childhood) in the lactAse enzyme. \n\nI have never heard of lactose intolerance to turkey meat. \n\nHowever, if you are referring to Turkey (the country), yes, many people from this population are intolerant, and others on the Mediterranean. There is a study in the British journal Lancet in 1973: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=4124070&dopt=Abstract

here's a 3 parter; ..as you remember it,?

Terrorism  started in middle east with palestines and jews.   They'd attack civilians for intimidation.  To nip it in the bud, there should've been mass education about its negative effects and moral consequences.  Also, take out the leaders of the terrorists.  \n\nToday, America and other western countries must stop attacking other religions and exploiting 3rd world countries.  They should also stop killing others.  Killing creates a need for revenge.  That is why they are attacking.\n\nIts a vicous cycle of escalating violence.  You kill my family, I will kill you.  You kill that individual and then someone else wants revenge.  And on the loop goes


how can i get rid of eyebags besides doing a cucumber treatment!!??

Generally, you can trace early-morning eye puffiness to your activities of the previous day. A more permanent kind of eye puffiness can occur from saggy skin caused by normal aging. The skin around the eyes becomes thinner and less elastic with age. If you don't have any cucumber or potatoes lying around you can use tea bags for eye puffiness. Try the site below for more tips and information about eye puffiness, as well as some excellent products that may help you.  Good luck!

If one has not sent any e-mails, why would one get a mailerdaemon failure notice e-mail in the inbox?

Some e-mail viruses read the contents of the infected machines address book. They will use one of the addresses they find as the from address. It increases the chances that the victim will open, read, and act on the e-mail.  If the e-mail bounces, it get sent back to the bogus "From:" address, rather than the infected machine.\n\nSo it could be that someone has your address and the "To:" \naddress in their address book. Sometimes by putting 2 and 2 together it's possible to make a reasonable guess who it is.


Do people not understand how annoying they sound when they preach at you?

People do know it's annoying, in fact it can be tougher and all would have thought of quitting. Look at it this way. All people hate it when a salesman come over trying to sell something. Yet, every now and then there will be buyer. If you don't like it, just say no. You make your decision. Sure it's not easy trying to sell, but they do it for a reason. So, when someone preaches something, they have their reason and they do it for a reason too. If it doesn't suit your ear, just kindly say no. Whether it's going to convert you or not, only you yourself can decide.


Does having marijuana in your system count as possession of the drug?

no it doesnt count as possession of the drug. To have it in your system only means at one point you were exposed to it. If you went to court and were on trial, The charge is possession, the proof would have to be on your person, yet alls they have is a blood or urine test, which doesnt count as possession it would be exposure within 30 to 45 days. A lawyer would beable to slam dunk that and a judge would throw it out because there isnt and real evidence that at the time you have physically possessed the drug on your person.

All the boys in my skool like girl cuz  smart and have boobs i dont have any but i want  a guy to like me how?

I have a 15 year old son and asked him this for you.  He is very very smart-honor roll and very cute also.  He is on basketball team as well as trak.  He is not what you would call HOT but very cute.  He says ALL the guys go for the pretty girl with a great bod.  They r teenagers afterall!  BUT once they realize she is in love with herself- once she opens her mouth- HE doesnt want her anymore!  lol  They may look at this girl and want her just on the physical.  And that DOES NOTCHANGE AS THEY GET OLDER EITHER!  lol  BUT the great news is- most of them realize rather fast that she is just some girl.  My son says when you have a certain boy in mind- find out thru your friends or his the things he likes to do and make that YOUR new hobbie!  Ask his advice on it.  Learn to play his favorite video game and ask for help on it.  If he goes skating every weekend GO SKATING!  Laugh and have fun.  Be yourself.  Make yourself approachable by smiling alot.  And before u know it YOU WILL have a boyfriend!  Good luck to u!

What's the only mammal that cannot jump?

I am willing to bet that you are looking for the Elephant.  There are many sites on the web which have stated that the elephant is the only mammal which can not jump.  This is NOT the truth.\nJust on the Web alone there are several others listed including the okapi, guinea pig and raccoon who are also reported as not being able to jump.  (see references).\nIn the same class as the elephant, both Hippopotamus and Rhinoceroses come closer to skipping than jumping.  Like the elephant, their body mass is too great in relation to their mass.\nIn addition, all bats have weak legs and usually have trouble walking, let alone jumping.\nIt has been recorded that sloths move too slow to jump.  Plus they seldom climb down out of their trees.\nGiraffes are known to run, but apparently always have one “foot on the ground.”  Due to their neck structure, it may not be possible for them to jump in the usual meaning of the word.\nDue to their odd physical shapes and relatively slow speeds, echidna (spiny anteater), \nduck-billed platypus and koala might also be listed among the non-jumpers.\nFinally, there are the non-land mammals most of which can come at least part way out of the water, but none have legs and by definition, can not jump.  These would include whales, porpoises, dolphins, manatees and maybe even sea lions.

What is the optimum human population of earth, if there is one. If a maximum level is exceeded would it reduce

We have no idea- The definition of "optimum" would be optimum for who?  For the rest of life, excluding chickens, pigs, and dogs, a human population of zero would be fine.  If we had 10 billion, then 10 billion and one would be great for that last one born.  If you are asking what is the maximum *sustainable* population, that unfortunately can only be answered when you pass it and discover that you are now past the max.  H G Wells estimated that when we got over 2 billion, there would be mass starvation.  Other later said for sure anything past 5 billion would cause mass starvation.  We are now near 7 billion and have a huge overall food surplus (of course, thats just food, not addressing energy, clean water, etc).  We may be able to sacrifice wetlands, tropical forests, etc, and get even more food, though its doubtful if the ecosystem could handle it for long.

Why is it that George W. Bush Jr. never ran out of issue? Is he that bad president?

The reasons there are always Issues with this president is the fact that the Liberal Biased Media can not stand him, so they are finding issues that are non issues and making them larger issues...\n\nJust watch them.. when an Issue comes up.. Bush and the Facts resolve it, they find another.. it gets resolved.. smae way.. then tehy come back to an old issue because there is something they had to miss....\n\nThey HATE President Bush....

what changes in skills, knowlaedge and understandings will need to occur for you to be an effective teacher?

To teach effectively, you have to be an entertainer, a politician, and a content expert. Effective teaching begins with understanding what you teach and desiring to influence the lives of children. Unfortunately, that only goes so far. You have to fit into the school, understand your role, avoid legal entanglements, and navigate a treacherous path as a rookie teacher. It's impossible to sum up in a soundbyte, so I wrote a book about it called Rookie Teaching for Dummies. No commerical, just a link if you want to learn more.


I just read a question about smoking and civil rights...?

My motto tends to be "live and let live". In this case, I oppose public smoking. Second-hand smoke has been shown in numerous studies to be harmful, and quite frankly, I hate breathing the filth myself :(\n\nOn the other hand, I see no reason for a total ban on smoking. If you want to smoke in the privacy of your own home, or somewhere else where you're alone, well, it's your choice to harm yourself, but atleast you're not harming anyone else.


why mammals cannot weight less than 2 grams ?

There are mammals that weigh less than 2 gram.\n\nSome shrews fight for first place weighing less than two grams. One of them is the pygmy Shrew Suncus etruscus. It's been weighed at 1.2-2.7 g, and a length of 36-53 mm.\n\nThen there is the bumblebee bat, which weighs in around 2 grams - definitely heavier, but still.


During Meiosis what two divisons are created?

I think one is the division of chromosomes and that is just a guess as for the other I assume that it has something to do with two sexes becoming one.


The original text of Article 1, Section 2, of the Constitution tied the allocation of representatives in Congress to population counts; the weight applied to each person differed by civil status. Specifically, for the purpose of reapportionment, each free person was to count as a whole person, each slave was to count as three-fifths of a person, and Indians not taxed were to be excluded.\n\nThat souonds like they thought of slaves as less than a person, and justified their participation in the institution of slavery.

how do i get a map of a certain cave in perryville, Mo.?

Cave maps are often difficult to obtain because they are made by private groups of individuals that have built considerable expertise and experience, and have strong ethics about protecting underground environments. \n\nIf you own land that has a cave on it you may be able to get help from cavers who contact you about visiting the cave, contact the SEMO Grotto which I have listed below. \n\nOtherwise, your best resource is going to be contacting the local chapters of the National Speleological Society. If they feel you have a valid need for a map, and trust you they may share their maps with you. Keep in mind that since the maps are private property, they may not be willing to share the information. \n\nIf you are a sport caver and would like to learn more about caving I suggest you join the National Speleological Society and find a local grotto to join as well.\nThe NSS is at:\nhttp://www.caves.org/\nThe Grottos active in Perry County are:\nSEMO Grotto in Perryville:\nhttp://semogrotto.com/\nMeramac Valley Grotto in Saint Ann, MO\nhttp://www.meramecvalleygrotto.org/\nLittle Egypt Grotto in Carbondale IL:\nhttp://home.globaleyes.net/carbide/\nMiddle Ozark Lower Earth Society in AR\nhttp://www.caves.org/io/iolookup.php?ionum=000286

Did u see the movie hitch?????  I am dating a guy right now who becomes more and more attractive to me outwardly than he would be to most.  He was a friend that was always there for me, always a great communicator and never ever once found a flaw to bring me down.  He is now my boyfriend.  I get the occasional what does she see in him, and if they only knew what a kind person he was I would be fighting them off daily.  You are probably not bad looking just lacking confidence.  Stay true to who you are inside, and you will have a woman that truely loves you.  Quit looking at outward appearance when it comes to women.

what does covariance mean in portfolio mean-variance model?

Covariance (or so I assume from the context) refers to the correlation between the two random variables. Because it's zero the total variance is just the sum of the two variances. \n\n(1-a)A and aB are the actual variables giving the returns for the B and A portions of the portfolio so the variances are (1-a)^2*(b^2) and a^2 * (2*b^2) (a^2 means a squared etc.). The total variance is just the sum:\n\n(1-a)^2*(b^2) + a^2 * (2*b^2) = b^2[1 - 2a + 3a^2]\n\nYou can see that if a=0 (all A) it's b^2 and if a is 1 (all B) it's 2b^2 as it must be. The minimum is found by differentiating w.r.t. a:\n\n6a - 2 = 0 ==> a = 1/3\n\nAt first it might seem that the portfolio should consist entirely of the stock with the lower volatility (A). However the admixture (2/3 A + 1/3 B) gives a lower volatility by virtue of the diversification provided by two investments instead of one.


Is it a bad idea to settle debt for less and invoke a 1099C form?

Negatives - you will have to claim the remaining amount of your account after settlement as income and then pay taxes on it (hence the 1099 form).  Also - a settlement is a major delinquency on your credit report which will continue to report for the next 7-10 years.  The 1099 will not reflect on your credit report.  The account will show as "legally paid for less than the full balance" which isn't the best thing to have on your credit report.\n\nThings to consider when settling:  \n1)  If you can afford to pay $15,700, will the remaining debt ($6800) be manageable on a monthly basis (should be about $160 depending on your interest rate)?  If so, then pay a good chunk of you debt off and handle the rest of your balance normally to avoid settelment.  Remember that a smaller balance will mean lower monthly payments which can actually help to BUILD your credit up rather than ruin it.\n\n2)  Is the likelihood that you will end up charging off the account greater than ever paying it down?  Do you have more money going out every month than comes in?  Settlement may be a better option for you as "charging off" your account looks much worse than settling.\n\nAlways try to avoid a settlement by calling your creditor to see if you qualify for a hardship or payment program.  If you can commit to some long term monthly payments this will greatly benefit your credit overall and avoid you worrying about 1099 forms.  \n\nLastly - don't bother asking creditors to remove your delinquent account from your credit report after you settle.  They are legally not able to do this as they are bound to accurately report the status of your account to the credit reporting agencies.

how to write a essay on the effect   of the portuguese on africa?

talk about the colonization, and particularly, what happened when they left. When they left, because the africans wanted freedom, they took all of the educated people with them. They basically left (through various means) the africans with no experience in running their own country, no education, no recourses, no help, etc. Corruption quickly sprang up, lots of civil wars and discontent ensued. Good luck with the essay! Hope that helped a bit!

Engaged and have 3 children from another relationship. On and off situation between my fiancee and my sons.?

14 is a hard age to understand.  But, if he has know your fiancee all these years I think he should know who is best for his mother.  As for your ex, your son is at an age where you can tell him why you divorced his father in the first place.  All kids want their real parents back together.  I think you just need to really explain the problems that you had with your ex and how this new man in your life is who you truely want to spend your life with.


help, my mom is in trouble and i do not know what to do?

Yikes! First of all, even though what she did is very wrong we have all don't things in our lives that we are not proud of.  Now knowing your financial situation I will not condemn your mother. Secondly, this is a very serious situation and I am not sure what will happen.  In most cases the boss would not ever consider keeping the employee.  However, the fact that she is family is a very good thing for her. This may really work to her benefit.  You should just relax and don't worry about things that are beyond your control.  Say a little prayer to God and just be there for your mom.  Everything will work out! Good luck and God bless!

It sounds like he's not sure if he wants to be with you, and doesn't want you to be with anyone else. I would try talking to him and say, hey, you didn't want be with me so your part in my life is over. If you're so concerned about me and who I'm dating, then maybe you shouldn't have left. It is none of his business who you are dating anymore. If you can't get him to leave you alone, tell him that if he doesn't leave you and your new man alone, that you're going to call the cops and get a restraining order.

Who, when and how was the order of letters in the english language determined???

Short answer:  the BASIC order of our letters goes back through Latin, through Greek to Phoenician and the earliest alphabets invented by speakers of "Northwest Semitic" languages (the group that includes Hebrew).   This order (with modifications necessitated by differences in the languages adapting the letters to their own languages) goes back to at least the mid 2nd millennium BC,  but we really don't know why they did it this way.\n\nIn fact, the very NAME "alphabet" betrays these roots!\n\n-----------------\nFuller answer (hang on!):\n\nThe LATIN letters were derived from a form of the GREEK alphabet, and the term "alphabet"  is based on the first two letters of the Greek alphabet --"alpha" and "beta" (so the idea of the word is the same as "a-b-c's").  But these Greek names are rather odd --meaningless, in fact. Why?  That's because the Greeks borrowed a number of the NAMES for their letters from the source of the letters themselves, the seafaring traders of Phoenicia.   The Phoenicians did not invent this system themselves, but were part of a cluster of related "Semitic" languages spoken centered in the regions later called Syria & Palestine.  The letter-names are derived from actual words which BEGAN with the sound that letter is used to represent (e.g., "aleph", meaning "ox").\n\nWe can actually still see much of the original Semitic order of the letters in the Latin alphabet, and even more in the Greek.   The original letters were at times used to represent a different sound from the original letter, esp when the original letter represented a sound unlike any in the language doing the borrowing.   (This is how the Greeks came up with the first set of VOWELS, which were not part of the original Semitic alphabet.)     The major changes/differences in ORDER were caused when the borrowing language dropped a letter it could not use...  and more often by adding letters needed in the borrower's language.  These new letters were most often added at the end, after "T", the final letter in the Semitic alphabets.  Later, after the early Latin alphabet was well-established, some letters"split" into variants, which were listed next to their "parent" letter.   Thus "I" and "J" come from one letter, "U" "V" and "W" were from one letter.\n\nSo when was did the SEMITIC order of the alphabet come about, and why?     Our earliest proven examples of the letters in the basic order used to this day are clay tablets the list the letters in order (perhaps for training scribes?) from the ancient Syrian city of Ugarit (the language, re-discovered in the 1920s is called "Ugaritic").  These show us that this order existed by at least 1300 BC. (with some additional letters for sounds that  were no longer found in later languages like Phoenician, Biblical Hebrew and Aramaic).\n\n(A few centuries later we find reflections of this order in the Bible.   The clearest examples are "acrostic" poetic passages in which  succeeding verses or sets of verses begins with the next letter of the alphabet. Psalm 119 is the most well-known example of this practice, and many English Bibles even mark the successive stanzas as "Aleph" "Beth", etc. ) \n\nBut we still do not know why they adopted THIS order!    Perhaps there is some ancient lost memory device or set of devices (story?  set of sentences?) in which this particular order was found useful for remembering the various letters.   Perhaps certain sounds were thought easy to group together (think of how "l m n" flows for us).      Many believe the inventors of the alphabet were speakers of a Semitic language living in or near Egypt.    So it is possible that the IDEA for an alphabets owed something to a part of the system of Egyptians hieroglyphics.  In that case, perhaps the gr


What's the earliest dream you ever remember having?

When I was 3 or 4 yrs old I had a reoccuring dream that I was running on top of a grain elevator and I fell to the ground. Sometimes I would wake up and other times I would hit the ground and roll into a pre-dug grave but I wasn't dead. Than I definitely would wake up sweating. Thanks a lot for that one. Now I am scared to go to sleep. I want my Mommy.

Could you be thinking of pet peeves?\n\n1. Having the person in front of you in a check-out at a store decide they need to go back and get one more item . . . so you wait.\n2.  Having a person that you are talking to, whether it be on the phone or in person, chew gum and crack it while they talk.  \n3.  Waking up to find that the day that you had intended to go on a picnic or for a ride in  your convertible with the top down is now a day field with clouds and rain.\n\nAnd the list could go on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on.\n\nOh . . . yes . . . that is another things that bothers me.

I want to buy a house over 4 years. Can I pick a specific amount of time to get a loan for? Do banks do that?

Another simple way to address this is to get a normal mortgage (fixed/30yr) and make certain that there are NO PREPAYMENT PENALTIES.\n As long as you make the monthly payments, you can pay it off at your speed.


It works only for numbers *directly*, but through simple use of an array, you can make it work with almost anything.\n\nFor instance, if you want a random day of the week, consider the following code snippet:\n\nconst char *Days[7] =\n{\n"mon","tue","wed","thu","fri","sat","sun"\n};\n\nThe expression Days[rand () % 7] will return one of the above strings at random.\n\nThe secret here is to use an array as a mechanism to translate a number into a string.

If a waiter's shift ends partway through your meal, should you tip him when he leaves?

This always bothers me, especially when the waiter/waitress has been there for the majority of the meal; however, my husband used to be a waiter and has told me that if your server goes home and gives your table to another server, they are giving the tip to them also, for allowing them to go home.  Unless it is a rather large bill (and hopefully a large tip), in which case, the server would probably opt to keep their table and work a longer shift.

The foreign exchange (currency or forex) market exists wherever one currency is traded for another. It is the largest market in the world, in terms of cash value traded, and includes trading between large banks, central banks, currency speculators, multinational corporations, governments, and other financial markets and institutions. Retail traders (small investors or speculators) are a minute part of this market, may only participate indirectly through brokers or banks, and may be targets of forex scams.\n\nMarket size and liquidity\nThe foreign exchange markets is unique because of:\n\nits trading volume, \nthe extreme liquidity of the market, \nthe large number of, and variety of, traders in the market, \nits geographical dispersion, \nits long trading hours - 24 hours a day (except on weekends). \nthe variety of factors that affect exchange rates, \nAverage daily international foreign exchange trading volume was $1.9 trillion in April 2004 according to the BIS study Triennial Central Bank Survey 2004\n\n$600 billion spot \n$1,300 billion in derivatives, ie \n$200 billion in outright forwards \n$1,000 billion in forex swaps \n$100 billion in options. \nExchange-traded forex futures contracts were introduced in 1972 at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and are actively traded relative to most other futures contracts, but constitute a very small part of the overall forex market.\n\nThe ten most active traders account for almost 73% of trading volume, according to The Wall Street Journal Europe, (2/9/06 p. 20). These large international banks continually provide the market with both bid (buy) and ask (sell) prices. The bid/ask spread is the difference between the price at which a bank or market maker will sell ("ask", or "offer") and the price at which a market-maker will buy ("bid") from a wholesale customer. This spread is minimal for actively traded pairs of currencies, usually only 1-3 pips. For example, the bid/ask quote of EUR/USD might be 1.2200/1.2203. Minimum trading size for most deals is usually $1,000,000.\n\nThese spreads do not apply to retail customers. To individuals, banks will routinely mark up the difference to say 1.2100 / 1.2300 for transfers, or say 1.2000 / 1.2400 for banknotes or travellers' cheques.\n\nTrading characteristics\nThere is no single unified foreign exchange market. Due to the over-the-counter (OTC) nature of currency markets, there are rather a number of interconnected marketplaces, where different currency instruments are traded. This implies that there is no such thing as a single dollar rate - but rather a number of different rates (prices), depending on what bank or market maker is trading. In practice the rates are often very close, otherwise they could be exploited by arbitrageurs\nThe main trading centers are in London, New York, and Tokyo, but banks throughout the world participate. As the Asian trading session ends, the European session begins, then the US session, and then the Asian begin in their turns. Traders can react to news when it breaks, rather than waiting for the market to open.\n\nThere is little or no 'inside information' in the foreign exchange markets. Exchange rate fluctuations are usually caused by actual monetary flows as well as by expectations of changes in monetary flows caused by changes in GDP growth, inflation, interest rates, budget and trade deficits or surpluses, and other macroeconomic conditions. Major news is released publicly, often on scheduled dates, so many people have access to the same news at the same time.\n\nCurrencies are traded against one another. Each pair of currencies thus constitutes an individual product and is traditionally noted XXX/YYY, where YYY is the ISO 4217 international three-letter code of the currency into which the price of one unit of XXX currency is expressed. For instance, EUR/USD is the price of the euro expressed in US dollars, as in 1 euro = 1.2045 dollar.\n\nOn the spot market

I think you probably really are pretty and a good singer.

can you mix pure oxygen into a SCUBA tank?

The answer is yes to your question of mixing pure O2.  You cannot, however, breath pure O2 at depth.  This can be lethal.  But mixing is known as Enriched Air Nitrox or EAN.  By adding O2 to the air, you are decreasing the amount of Nitrogen and in turn, decreases your exposure to decompression sickness (the bends).  Proper training in the area, makes it a very safe practice.


how long does it take to get social security disabilty?i have als.?

I used to be a legal secretary for an attorney whose practice was mainly representing people in their Social Security disability claims.  That was 13 years ago, and the average wait was about 1 1/2 years.  It is much longer now--ridiculously long, in fact.  However, having said that, ALS is a very serious disease, so you may not have to go through all of the appeals processes.  Perhaps your claim will be processed correctly the first time.  Much really depends on how intelligent and helpful the person who processes your claim is and also how detailed your doctor's reports are.\n\nMy advice--apply NOW.  The longer you wait to apply, the more "back pay" you will lose, plus obviously the longer it will take for it to be processed.  If your claim is denied once, hire an attorney immediately.  Do not just choose the first attorney you find in the yellow pages.  Do your homework.  Some attorneys are better at this than others.  Choose one whose practice consists mainly of handling these claims.  And, if possible, ask around locally to see who else has used this attorney for this type of case.\n\nIf you hire an attorney, he/she will get 25% of your back pay from Social Security, plus administrative costs, like photocopying costs and charges they have to pay the doctors for the medical records.  You will not have to pay the attorney anything up front.

You have to file with the FEC and your state elections office.  Get on line and find the Sec. of State or state elections office to file.  I think FEC is Free and the state charges around $25.  I think it is too late to file in Cal, unless you run as an independant.\n\nYou need to hire a campaign manager and trust him/her with everything.  it is their campaign.

Perhaps you can talk to him and see what you can sort out. It would certainly be better if he could tell you earlier so you can make plans for them. It will be an ongoing issue for your relationship so you need to sort things out both with your kids and his kids. You want to avoid having a situation where he perceives that you are asking him to choose between you and his kids.

Why Don't People Believe in God? Supreme Being?

1) We ARE evolving. It's just a process that takes thousands of years to manifest itself. But yes, physically we will look slightly different in several hundred-thousand years, just like cavemen looked different from us.\n\n2) Music and wind can be detected, and measured (like those decibel-measuring tools in some school cafeterias, or wind-speed detectors in weather stations). Can God be measured or detected through science or observation?\n\n3) Love, although it has not been fully explained, is a feeling like many others, and goes back to our chemical and electric reactions between various neurons and neurotransmitters in our brain. Nothing too mysterious, really, just a way to get us to reproduce ;)\n\nThanks for asking our opinion politely, and not being a prick yourself by being overly preachy :)\n\nWhile I myself don't believe in God, I don't care what everyone else believes. If believing in God truly makes you a better person, and gives you peace of mind, then that's the best thing for you :) Just don't push it on me, and I'm A-OK with your beliefs.

Can anyone explain the role of 'devil's advocate'?

The role of the "devil's advocate" is to take a position opposite of popular opinion.\n\nIt was used in the Catholic Church for centuries during the cause for cannonization.  There is a person, or group, that wants to have someone made a saint.  This may be a popular cause.\n\nBut to have fairness, there is someone appointed by the Church to argue against making this person a saint.  This person is the "Devil's Advocate".

how do i pay a business debt without being liquidated?

You could try to borry to cover the machine payments, but it would end up digging you a deeper hole.  Then you would have a  new loan for the same amount or more and have machines that arn't going to make your business profitable.  So then would you take out another credit arrangement to buy new machines on top of that?  Never buy equiptment or any other item on credit that will be unusable before the term of the credit has expired.  Sell the machines and get the most you can for them and see where you go for there.

God bless you and good luck.

what symptoms would you feel if you had a tubal pregnancy?

An ectopic pregnancy is one in which the fertilized ovum is implanted in any tissue other than the uterine wall. Most ectopic pregnancies occur in the Fallopian tube (so-called tubal pregnancies), but implantation can also occur in the cervix, ovaries, and abdomen.\n\nPatients with an ectopic pregnancy typically have:\n\n- Lower back, abdominal, or pelvic pain. \n- There may be cramping or even tenderness on one side of the pelvis. \n- The pain is of recent onset, and often getting worse. \n- Vaginal bleeding may be present. \n- Low serum hematocrit (due to loss of blood). \n- Elevated serum human chorionic gonadotropin (due to pregnancy).\n\nEctopic pregnancy is noted that it can mimic symptoms of other diseases such as appendicitis, other gastrointestinal disorder, problems of the urinary system, as well as pelvic inflammatory disease and other gynecologic problems.

Who is the girl that Mike Skinner is talking about in the latest Streets track "When you wasnt famous?"

I'm not sure he's talking about just one girl, or a girl in particular. The first part probably refers to Kate Moss, the lines and mobile phones.

What are the differences between music label company, music publisher and distributor?

A music label may provide different things for an artist, it all depends on the label and it's size/finances.  In general, labels book tours for artists (or at least provide a booking agent/company that will do it), provide transportation for touring, and fund the recording and pressing of the record.  They will also have distribution deals in place with distributors so that the finished products gets out and in people's hands.  Labels are also responsible for promotional material and advertising (this may include getting artists on the radio).\nA distributor does exactly what it's name says it does: Distributes music.  They control where the record is available; what stores it is in.\nI'm not sure exactly what you mean by a music publisher, but as far as my understanding goes, publishers mainly deal with copyright issues and rights to the music.

Hydrogen cyanide is a chemical compound with chemical formula HCN. A solution of hydrogen cyanide in water is called hydrocyanic acid or prussic acid. Pure hydrogen cyanide is a colorless, very poisonous, and highly volatile liquid that boils slightly above room temperature at 26 °C, thereby generating hydrogen cyanide gas. Hydrogen cyanide has a faint, bitter, almond-like odor that some people are unable to smell due to a genetic trait. Hydrogen cyanide is weakly acidic and partly ionizes to become the cyanide ion CN– in aqueous solution, resulting in a colorless volatile liquid with the typical hydrogen cyanide odor. The salts of hydrogen cyanide are known as cyanides.\n\nOther names - Hydrocyanic acid, Prussic acid, Formonitrile,Formic anammonide,Carbon hydride nitride,Cyclon \nMolecular formula - HCN \nMolar mass  -27.03 g/mol \nAppearance - Colorless gas or pale blue, highly volatile liquid \n\nCyanide is used in tempering steel, dyeing, explosives, engraving, the production of acrylic resin plastic, and other organic chemical products. Its use in insect killing jars has now largely been replaced by less toxic ethyl acetate.\n\nMost military sources list hydrogen cyanide among the chemical warfare agents causing general poisoning.

What caused the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 to be passed?

Bill Clinton was fulfilling a campaign promise that he made - The Family and Medical Leave Act gave job protection to all people who were sick or had family members they needed to care for, but it especially helped women whose jobs could be threatened because of pregnancy and childbirth. It also was allowed a father to take off when a child was born to care for his family. \n\nOne of the economic reasons that women have lower wages is because the work of having children takes them out of the job market for a period of time.  Women who return to work after the birth of a child often find their jobs are gone, or they've beens shifted to a career path that might not allow them to reach the top rungs of the corporate ladder.  Pregnancy leave protections were there, but Clinton's plan was much more conprehensive.\n\nSimalar problems occur when women (often the primary caregivers in the family) and men have to care for their ailing parent or grandparent.   \n\nClinton was very understanding of this dilemma that millions of VOTING mothers face, and this is just one of his and Hilary's proposals that really clicked.  The soccer moms of the 1990s recognized the value of his vision for families and voted Clinton into office.

What steroids or pro-hormones have been banned from baseball?

Stimulants\nThe use of stimulants to improve athletic performance is prevalent in both college and Olympic sports, and likely in professional sports as well.[14,26-28] In a 2001 study of 21,225 college athletes who responded to a survey, the use of amphetamines and ephedrine was reported to be 3.3% and 3.9%, respectively.[26] This is an increase in comparison with similar surveys conducted in prior years.Claims have been made that the majority of Major League Baseball (MLB) players use amphetamines or other stimulants.[29]\n\nAmphetamine-like sympathomimetics stimulate the central nervous system (CNS), as well as the cardiovascular system.[30] In addition, they increase glycogen and fatty acid metabolism. Such compounds have been shown to improve athletic performance to various degrees in strength and endurance exercises, improve reaction times, and reduce fatigue.[14,31] Amphetamine and its analogues can cause euphoria, boost confidence, and intensify aggression. Adverse effects of these compounds include tachycardia, palpitations, hypertension, nervousness, restlessness, irritability, insomnia, seizures, life-threatening arrhythmias, stroke, thermogenesis, and death.[14,15,30] Particularly problematic in this group is ephedrine, which is available in the United States and abroad, and is often found in combination allergy and cold products and in dietary supplements (see also Ephedra, below). The NCAA prohibits the use of ephedrine, and the National Football League (NFL) added ephedrine to its list of banned substances in 2001.[22,32] WADA prohibits the "in-competition" use of ephedrine.[12]\n\nCaffeine\nCaffeine has been used in sports as a stimulant, to counter drowsiness, to improve endurance, and to enhance bodybuilding workouts.[14] Caffeine stimulates the CNS to increase mental alertness and increases adrenaline release.[33-35] It also increases the hydrolysis and utilization of fats in the body for energy, while its effect on muscle glycogen has been mixed.[35] Caffeine is also believed to enhance muscular contraction. Studies have indicated that caffeine in doses of 3-13 mg/kg can potentially improve performance in endurance events, particularly for trained athletes.[33-37] Studies on the ergogenic benefit of caffeine for power and sprint events either have shown no benefitor have been inconsistent.[38] However, by increasing endurance, caffeine may enhance the efficacy of training in these events since training often consists of performing multiple repetitions.\n\nAdverse reactions to caffeine are similar to those of other stimulants and include insomnia, tremors, nervousness, restlessness, tachycardia, and palpitations.[14] Caffeine is also a diuretic, which can potentially cause electrolyte imbalances and hasten dehydration.\n\nAs of January 2004, WADA removed caffeine from its list of prohibited substances; previously caffeine was a banned substance when urinary concentrations exceeded 12 mcg/mL.[12] Caffeine is a restricted substance by the NCAA, which allows urine concentrations of 15 mg/L or less.[22] The amount of caffeine intake that would yield such concentrations can vary widely, however, a general guide is that the limits will be exceeded if about 500 mg or more of caffeine is ingested within a few hours of the drug test in an average sized, healthy man; this is equivalent to about 5 cups of regular coffee (about 100 mg/cup).[15] Athletes must be made aware of the caffeine content in prescription and over-the-counter medications, soft drinks, sport and energy drinks, herbal products, and other dietary supplements. Herbal or natural products and dietary supplements can be particularly problematic as some contain hidden sources of caffeine.[39]\n\nAnabolic-Androgenic Steroids\nAnabolic-androgenic steroids are synthetic analogues of testosterone, and as the name suggests, their actions are both anabolic (muscle building) and androgenic (masculinizing) in nature. Testosterone and anabolic-androgenic

in the nhl, has a goalie ever scored a goal?

Ron Hextall (Philadelphia) is the only NHL goaltender to score multiple goals.  Evgeni Nabokov (San Jose) is the only player (since the first expansion in 1967) to score a non-empty net goal.  It was in the first period against Columbus (I think) and a "delayed penalty" was called.  Columbus thought the penalty was against San Jose, so they pulled their goaltender.  However, it was the linesman who had his hand up, signaling a high stick.  Nabokov got the puck and shot the puck and scored.  I don't exactly recall why but the goal wasn't judged an empty-net goal.

if the AVERAGE PERSON DRINKS 8, 8OZ GLASSES OF WATER PER DAY A PERSON WHO DRINNKS 12.8OZ WHAT FRACTION OF?

What?!? please rephrase your question. \n\nif you want to know what 8/12 is and its simplest(?) form is then you just find the common denominator of both the numerator and the denominator.\n\nif you want to be systematic and not guess around, you convert both the numerator and the denominator into their product form(? did i say that right?)\n\nso 8 is 2 * 2 * 2 and 12 is 2 * 2 * 3.\n\nand since you are dividing in a fraction, you can cancel out the common numbers (?cant remember the term) from the numerator (the top number) and the denominator (the bottom number).\n\nso you end up with 2/3.\n\nif you wanted to know what fraction the person who drinks 12 oz of water a day more than the average guy then you do this:\n\n12 / 8 is the fraction for the 12 oz guy\n8 / 8 for the average guy (converted from 1-> 1/1 -> 1*8/1*8)\n(12 / 8) - (8 / 8) is 4 / 8. or 1 / 2 more than average.

Is there no way for a non-Muslim guy to marry a Muslim girl?

Yes only if you convert into Islam.Don't pretend that you are Muslim if you don't mean it and don't become a Muslim just because you want to marry a Muslim girl.

I hope your heart will open one day to accept and practise the real Islam before you marry a Muslim girl. May God bless you.

Criticism and Suggestions for my Fantasy Baseball team?

dont listen to anybody on here except for the last guy. your team is good and the only thing i think you are lacking is speed for SB but everything else seems like it is covered well. i think you should pick up jacobs from florida as a back up 1B cause he is gonna be extremely good this year and Hermida from florida is said to be the best rookie this year so that could be another and for pitchers i would get aaron small from the yankess 10-0 last year in about 15 games with a good era and he will certainly get wins for you

You know, there's a phenomenon in which people of some ethnicity are attracted to another just because of them being different.\n\nYou have white poeple craving some dark / latina / asian partners - and in each of those cultures you will probably find sime likewise attraction towards other ethinc groups.\n\nFOr example, in Dominican Republic, where I live, girls love guys with straight *hot rod* hair. Usually guys here will have short curly hair. But in Venezuela, for example, you have lots of guys with straight or waivy long hair - then you've got many girls that crave boys with short curly hair.\nIt's like the *exotic* sensation....

Whats the one thing or things ur superstitious about?

Walking under ladders. A condemned man had to walk under the ladder to mount the scaffold. So if you walk under a ladder you are enacting your own hanging, without dying, which flies in the face of the natural order of things. Its a bit like walking on your own grave.
