MOHAMMED, known as the Prophet of Islam, was born of the esteemed Qoreish tribes in Mecca on the 20th of April. The chief occupation of his tribe was trade. \n\nThe Islamic Prophet led a life of simplicity and poverty. His house, built of mud walls and thatched with date-palm leaves, often remained dark for want of oil for the lamp. At times he did not even have the flour with which to prepare bread. \n\nMohammed's father was Abdullah. He died while returning from a journey to Medina. His mother died six years later, leaving Mohammed in the care of his uncle, Abu Talib. His mother's name was Amna. \n\nMohammed was illiterate but from an early age he showed a remarkable aptitude for concentration. He was a serious child and never took part in pranks or frolic. \n\nWhen he grew up he earned a great reputation for his honesty and integrity. He always fulfilled his promises. Because he was extremely trustworthy, he became known as Al-Amin. \n\nOne day, Mohammed accompanied his uncle to Syria on business. On the journey he met Bahera, a Christian monk, who immediately recognized in the young boy a future prophet. \n\nWhen Mohammed was twenty-five years old he married Khadija, a rich widow of Mecca, then forty years of age. She was a gentle woman of spotless character. \n\nTHE BIRTH OF ISLAM\n\nMohammed frequently went to a cave in the desert three miles from Mecca, where he would spend months in prayer and meditation. One morning, the angel Gabriel appeared to him and said: "Rise, for thou art the Prophet of God. Go forth and preach in the name of thy Lord. Your God is merciful." A voice was heard - the voice of the Lord - addressed to the Prophet. It was recorded and became the text of the holy Koran. The Koran is not a literary work of Mohammed; it is a direct revelation of the Lord. \n\nWhen he returned from the cave, Mohammed was filled with divine majesty. On informing his wife of the vision he had, she said, "You are faithful and never utter an untruth. Therefore, you may obey the call and follow the voice." Khadija was the first disciple to profess faith in the Prophet. She became his disciple and the first follower of Islam. \n\nMohammed delivered public sermons on his faith to a large number of people, proclaiming the unity of God and denouncing the evil of drunkenness and impurity. Though some ridiculed and turned away, others were converted by the power of his words. \n\nOnce, he went to the Kaaba and proclaimed that there was no God but Allah. The worshippers of idols looked upon this as a great insult and attacked him, but he was rescued by his disciples. He was abused and insulted frequently in public. \n\nThe Prophet of Islam did not hold any debates nor did he challenge anyone to controversies and discussions. He silently converted people to his faith through his strong personality, charming demeanor and force of divine virtues. He bore with patience the persecution of his tormentors. His characteristics as well as the power of the verses of the Koran captivated the hearts of people. \n\nTHE SPREAD OF ISLAM\n\nMohammed fled from Mecca to Medina in 622 A.D. when he learned that the Qoreish tribe planned to take his life. The Muslim calendar begins on the day of this flight, known as the Hijra. \n\nThe people of Medina accepted Mohammed's faith readily because it was plain, simple and direct. With their help and with an army of men the Prophet later returned to Mecca, where he succeeded in converting his relatives and fellowmen. He then sent missionaries to other parts of Arabia in order to convert the entire peninsula to the new faith. \n\nThe teaching of Mohammed attracted numerous followers because they came from a simple and honest man who never posed as a world teacher. He often told his disciples that he was an ordinary man as they were, teaching them to believe in Allah and His revelations. \n\nCOMPASSION IN ACTION\n\nMohammed had great compassion and love. He served the widows a

How can I consolidate my past debts only?

Snowball technique:\n\n1. Look at all old debts. Rank them from easiest to hardest to pay off based on total owed, minimum payment due, and (tiebreaker) highest interest rates.\n\n2. While making minimum payments to all other debts, pay this one, PLUS as much extra as you can swing- AT LEAST an extra 10%, but the more the better!\n\n3. As soon as this one is paid off, apply all of the payments you WERE making on it to the next debt in line, WHILE still paying the amount on it you were. By this time, you should be paying about twice the minimum so this one will go faster.\n\n4. Repeat for each other debt- the monthly payment will be getting bigger and bigger, paying it off faster and faster.\n\n5. Throw whatever 'windfalls' you can at this also- tax returns, bonuses, etc.\n\nThey say the snowball will get you debt free in the quickest amount of time- even faster than consolidation loans, etc. One nice thing about it is that YOU are in control of it. If you HAVE to hold back some of the extra money once, no big deal.\n\nPS- this is the technique that a lot of 'get out of debt quick, send money for info' schemes tell you to do.

The very first ever "moving picture" was called Photograph of a Trotting Horse.  It was shot by Edward MuyBridge in 1878.  Essentially he combined a series of still photos that had been taken of a running horse, sort of like a flipbook.  Thomas Edison, George Melies, and the Lumiere brothers then began to develop technology to actually film movement.  Next thing you know, there's product placement and explosions in every movie.


i am possesive of my guy and i easly get envious....help?

I am sure you already know that people are not things to be owned. But maybe you can think of it this way, If you control the other you will take everything that they bring into the relationship. Their will becomes your will and therefore they loose their own will. It cannot be fun interacting with someone who has no will of their own. You will quickly find yourself very lonely since they have given you all of themself.\nThe most healthy relationship will be the one where trust is. Where neither attempts to control the other. \nWhat right do you have to control someone else?\nWhat right does anyone else have to control you?\nYou can certianly give that right. But by doing so you loose your will.

I am going to leave this question open ended.

However I can see a minor encroachment on our civil liberties when it comes to our National Security.  I do not believe that any of our rights should be take away, but I believe that we live in different times now.  It is sort of an unfortunate thing.

what is the best way to get rid of a strong head ache/migrane?

The best thing to do is to determine the cause of the headache/migraine. As someone pointed out, dehydration can cause severe headaches. So can certain diseases, such as endometriosis, tumors, lupus, etc. It would be good to see a doctor to eliminate the more serious possibilities, and to make sure that your diet and exercise are healthy so that you don't have to over medicate yourself. There are also good homeopathic migraine treatments available in health stores.

It's an English topographic name for someone who lived by a maple tree.


absolutely!!!!  Most times, a headache is the result of the blood vessels in the body constricting (narrowing), which in turn creates a "pressure" within the narrowed vessels to get blood flow through.....and this is how the headache is born.  And might I say too, that stress is also a big source of why people have high blood pressure (not all times/it's sometimes genetic or otherwise)....but high blood pressure does the same thing to the vessels in the body....that's why we get "pressure".....blood is trying to pump through constricted veins.   When you have a headache the next day after a night of drinking....same thing happens to the vessels when you're dehydrated.....they constrict.   Try to keep your blood pressure down, push plenty of fluids, and take ibuprofen if need be.  Keep those vessels dilated and that headache outta there!!!!!!!!!


difference and similarities on a nurses practioner and a physician assistant?

Nurse Practitioners don't necessarily have more experience than PAs.  Most PA schools require previous medical experience, so many PAs were previously paramedics, nurses, medical assistants, CNAs, etc.  In fact, PA programs typically have more patient contact hours written into their programs than nurse practioner programs.  Nurse practitioners usually stick with one specialization, whereas PAs are trained as generalists (can be derm PA for a few years, then go to Family practice, etc.)  Most PA programs are becoming graduate programs.

Any nurse who applied as Skilled immigrant to canada share threir experience?Any specific questions re:nursing

Aim for America. Consider the following:\n\n\n 8. Discriminatory and Dishonest Immigration System.\n      Immigration to Canada is based on a point system, obtained with your education, qualifications and job experience. Points are good enough for immigration, but in Canada, they are not good enough to get a job in your field. Amazing, how the credentials that qualify you to come to Canada are the same credentials that don't qualify you for your profession in Canada. The reason is, Canada only wants immigrants to do the labor jobs - pizza delivery, driving taxis, factory work etc.\n\n      7. Out Of Control Cost Of Living.\n      From rent, to utility bills, to shopping, to phone, internet and cable bills, to gas, to car insurance, to eating out, to basically anything you have to pay for or buy, the cost of living in Canada has become astronomical. Recent immigrants are astonished as to how expensive everything is. It is estimated that compared to most countries around the world, the cost of living in Canada is on average five times greater.\n\n      6. Health Care Crisis.\n      Practicing physicians in Canada are in a shortage, 1 in 4 Canadians cannot get a family doctor. Canadian doctors are leaving to move permanently to the United States. Statistics Canada and the Canadian Medical Association both have identified that for every 1 American doctor that moves to Canada, 19 (nineteen) Canadian doctors move to the United States! Doctors in Canada are overworked and underpaid, and there is a cap on their salaries.\n\n      5. Very High Taxes.\n      Yes, you have the GST, the PST, totaling 15%, on practically everything you purchase and many other taxes taken out of our weekly paycheck. You have to pay a whopping amount to the government, out of your hard earned salary, so that the government can turn around and give it to beer drinking, hockey watching welfare bums. Fair? It does not matter, it's Canada.\n\n      4. Money Hungry Government.\n      Canadian Embassies around the world lie to foreigners, painting this picture that Canada is Utopia, because they want them to come to Canada. Why? Because foreigners bring money! So after being deceived, these foreigners come. They must bring with them at least $10,000. Canada has an immigration quota of 250,000 per year. So please do the math, 250,000 multiplied by $10,000 each equals a whopping 2.5 Billion dollars that Canada gains from immigrants every year.\n\n      3. No Culture.\n      Unlike almost every other country in the world, Canada has no culture. Actually American culture is what dominates Canada. When was the last time you had some 'Canadian' food? There are no Canadian traditions and there is no national identity. What does it even mean to call yourself a 'Canadian'. . .nothing really. People living in Canada, still identify themselves with the country they 'originally' came from.\n\n      2. Worst Weather.\n      Yes, Canada has the worst weather conditions of any country in the world. Freezing cold temperatures, snow, ice, hail, winds, storms etc. From the Prairie provinces to the Maritimes, from the Territories to southern Ontario, the weather is so horrific and disgusting that many Canadians leave Canada simply because of this reason alone.\n\n      1. No Jobs.\n      Yes, coast to coast, there are no jobs. Immigrants are highly qualified (MD's, PhD's, Lawyers, Engineers etc.) but they are driving taxi cabs, delivering pizza's or working in factories. Even people with bachelors degrees from Canadian Universities cannot find jobs after graduation. This is the tragedy associated with immigration to Canada. I feel sorry for those immigrants who are stuck in Canada for the rest of their lives. It is indeed a very sad and hopeless future.\n\n       \n      written by\n      Asad Raza, M.D.\n      www.NotCanada.com\n\n\n      This list was published in the Ottawa Citizen: CLICK HERE\n\n      Please do not believe the fancy we


Who can leagaly have wepons of mass distrution?

WMD's usually mean Nuclear Weapons, and under the Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty every country has the right to develop nuclear weapons, but not to pass the technology onto other non-nuclear nations.\n\nIn effect this means that even unstable dictatorships can in theory develop such weapons, although the UN can invoke sanctions to prevent such development.


is there a list of words used when working in therapy? words that are more professional sounding?

Yes, there is one, and I know the list you mean.  Do you know Jerome Sattler's assessment book?  You might find them there.  Possibly in a text book about report writing?  I have seen the list, but I don't know its origin.   I will look for it, and if I find a source I'll edit this answer.\n\nhttp://www.richmond.edu/~allison/glossary.html is a glossary of social psychology terms.\n\nhttp://www.abess.com/glossary.html is a glossary of psychiatry adn neurology terms whicfh should help.\n\nhttp://www.alphadictionary.com/directory/Specialty_Dictionaries/Psychology/ is a sort of interactive on-line dictionary of psychology terms which should be helpful.\n\nhttp://www.wordbroker.biz/psychology/index.html gives another list of terms.\n\nI hope these are of some help.  I will contine to watch for the one I remember which may be the same as the one you are thinking of.\n\n\nGood luck.


What is the best thing for a bad sinus /headcold?

I suffered from sinus for many years and I am much better now.

It was a so called experiment in the Philadelphia ship yards to make a ship invisible by using electromagnetic radiation to bend light around an object. \n\n"The experiment was allegedly conducted by one Dr. Franklin Geno (or Rinehart) as a military application of Albert Einstein's unified field theory, or "generalized theory of gravitation". The theory, briefly, postulates the interrelatedness of the forces that comprise electromagnetic radiation and gravity. Through a special application of the theory, it was thought to be possible, with specialized equipment and enough energy, to bend light around an object, rendering it essentially invisible. The Navy considered this application to be of obvious value in wartime (as the United States was engaged in World War II at the time) and approved and sponsored the experiment. A Navy destroyer escort, USS Eldridge (DE-173), was fitted with the required generator equipment at the Naval Yards in Philadelphia.\n\nTesting began in the summer of 1943, and was initially successful to a limited degree. One test, on July 22, 1943, resulted in Eldridge being rendered almost completely invisible, with some eyewitnesses reporting a "greenish fog" — however, crew members complained of serious nausea afterwards. At that point, the experiment was altered by the request of the Navy, with the new goal being invisible to radar only.\n\nEquipment was not recalibrated, and the experiment was performed again on October 28. This time, Eldridge not only actually became almost entirely invisible to the naked eye, but actually vanished from the area entirely in a flash of blue light. Concurrent with this phenomenon, the U.S. Naval base at Norfolk, Virginia, just over 600 km (375 miles) away, reported sighting Eldridge offshore for several minutes, whereupon Eldridge vanished again and reappeared in Philadelphia, at the site it had originally occupied — a supposed case of accidental teleportation.\n\nThe physiological effects on the crew were profound. Almost all of the crew were violently ill. Some suffered from mental illness because of the experience — behavior conforming to schizophrenia is described in some accounts. Still other members were missing — supposedly "vanished" — and allegedly five of the crew were actually fused to the metal bulkhead or deck of the ship. Horrified, Navy officials immediately cancelled the experiment. All of the surviving crew involved were discharged; in some accounts, brainwashing was used to make some crew members forget about the details of their experience."

Do I need a permit to manufacture cosmetics in Illinois?

YES -- Cosmetics Manufacturing requires a permit. This includes filling containers as well as the more traditional manufacturing activities such as mixing ingredients together. If any of your cosmetic products are also considered drugs, you also need an OTC manufacturer’s permit. A person that only labels or changes the labeling of a cosmetic but does not open the container sealed by the manufacturer of the product does not need this permit. You must register all of your products with the Bureau Statewide Pharmaceutical Services. This permittee must have written policies and procedures.\n\nHere's a link, specific to Illinois law on the subject:\n\nhttp://www.ilga.gov/commission/jcar/admincode/077/07700720sections.html


What do you think of selling American ports to the Arabs? (No offense friendly Arabs)?

The UAE has had finacial links to certian terriost groups and that concerns the congress. I am in no way advocating that the UAE has close ties to terriost groups, but in time or war it wouldn't be the smartest idea to allow this to happen. The UAE already runs ports in the middle east & orient. If they had our ports, where is the check & balance? If we could ensure that every container was to be x-rayed and checked that arrived on our shores, then there would probably not be a huge issue. Unfortuantly, only about 10% of the containers are checked. It is better to be safe than sorry.

You can access a list of all the cool stuff you can do in Google Search at http://www.google.com/help/features.html .\n\nYahoo! http://www.yahoo.com\nis also a popular choice for the exact same reasons.

However, a perfectly clean page which has only Yahoo! search can be found at http://search.yahoo.com .\n\nMSN http://www.msn.com\nTotally revamped in the recent years, Microsoft Search is an excellent search engine with great results as well. MSN also has a "clean" search page at http://search.msn.com\n\nThen the more minor (but still useful!) engines: \n\nDogPile http://www.dogpile.com\nThis engine is not actually an engine at all- the site is a "metasearch" site, which means that it grabs results from a great number of search engine and displays them all.

Some plants are considered 'hardy', which means that they can resist a winter freeze very well.\nThe root of the plant can survive underground and bring the plant back to life in the spring.\n\nOther plants aren't so hardy, and if you don't cover them during a freeze to protect from the cold, the plant will freeze from root to tip and not be able to rejuevenate it.\n\nHope this helps.


Should both qualitative and quantitative measures be used to evaluate the effectiveness of your plan?

What plan would that be? Can you be more specific? This is sounding like a question from a textbook that nobody else has read...


Pranic Healing\nIt is an ancient, East Indian perception that the universe is filled with fine energy, called Prana, a building block of all things. Prana can penetrate everything, can appear and disappear without a pattern the mind could distinguish. I understand Prana as the original chaos, mentioned in many texts of creation, because it does not follow an observable pattern, an order. \n\nAs a child, my sister showed me tiny, sparkling, silver energy "particles" crossing the blue sky like threads and dots. They moved quickly, and appeared and disappeared equally quickly. We just called them "silver threads." \n\nLater in physics I learned about tachyon energy. This is a scientifically recognized form of energy which can appear and disappear. Finally I made the connection that tachyon energy must be what we called "silver threads" as children, and what the East Indians called Prana.\n\nSince Prana is the building block for our universe, Prana can heal and can be concentrated. Some people are good doing it, and you may be one of them. I believe that healers concentrate Prana to increase their own life energy and then send it to others who need and accept it for healing. \n\nThe transfer of energy from one person to another during healing has been photographed on Tesla-Kirlian photographs, amazing! The Tesla-Kirlian camera is an electric camera which works with a high frequency field. In the dark, you would see sparks flying out of your hands, if you would place your hand on such camera. \n\nSome healers have exhausted life energy after healing, they do not draw enough Prana from the universe, where this energy is in abundance. Others gain life energy during healing that is, when healing others, they themselves are healed. Jesus must have healed the same way and could even feel, when someone touched his robe to draw energy from him for healing.\n\nUnless you can get a Tesla-Kirlian photograph, you have to experience and feel Pranic healing in order to prove it to yourself. You may also want to look at the many books on Tesla-Kirlian energy, which show different states of life energy or pranic energy of living beings and materials. These photographs are beautiful. One can see distorted life energy up to 35 years ahead of a physical symptom, which means, one can heal before getting sick!\n\nWishing you much Prana in your corner of the earth! Cordially, India.Magica


You don't say what browser you're using... but... assuming it's I.E. (and others are probably the same anyway) - try clicking View - Toolbars - then remove the tick from "Lock Toolbars".  THEN you will find you can drag each toolbar (by the double vertical line that will appear at it's left end) to another location.\n\nOnce u r happy with your arrangement, then you can "Lock Toolbars" again, just to avoid accidents.  :-)

why commercial pilots shouldn't be allowed to carry weapons?

1. They can be taken away and used by he wrong people.\n2. There are so many people in a small area an innocent person could be shot.\n3. A stray bullet could go through the windshield or plane and cause problems. Well, that might not be possible but certainly if the control panel of the plane was hit with a bullet or two the plane would crash anyway.


Why are you reading this? you got no life or something?

We're reading this for the same reason you're asking the question, Smart Guy! Where is your life if you're reading the Q & A's on this forum?


how do I bring this to the Judges attention.?

Well it sounds like you are very upset here...however, if the police are involved and on the side of your ex, it is likely that they think he is the good guy in this argument. I find it hard to believe that they beat you up while you were handcuffed--handcuffing is standard procedure for domestic issues, and if the person struggles they generally are forced to the ground or against the car.\n\nIf, however, you are actually being beaten, contact IA (Internal Affairs) of the police and lodge a formal complaint. You could also move to a different town, and you should find a public defender to represent you in court. \n\nYou are guaranteed to a fair and speedy trial by the Constitution, and also a public defender by the Miranda rights.\n\nIf you are in PRISON (not jail), you can plead habeas corpus with a lawyer if you actually did not commit the crimes you were charged with. Jail is just a common place to keep people before their trial, nothing you can do about that.\n\nAlso, the Constitution says you cannot be charged more than once with the same crime. If what you say is true, your civil rights are being trampled on. Contact the ACLU or any other rights watchdog group. \n\nhttp://www.aclu.org/

The Sun produces energy through a process called "nuclear fusion." This is the same process that happens in a hydrogen bomb. The Sun converts hydrogen into helium, and that conversion process releases energy, mostly in the form of heat. The Sun "burns" about 600-million tons of hydrogen every second.

Can you see faint stars inside the dark region of a crescent moon ever and why?

Actually intel knight is correct. This is called gravitational lensing. This is predicted by general relativity, and is a known and measurable phenomenon, at least for massive bodies. However, the moon is not very massive, so this would be a very very small effect. Also, the stars imaged in this way would not appear very far inside the dark region. The dark region is, for the most part, totally dark. \n\nI suspect the main reason for people believing this is true is that the image of the crescent moon and star is so common in various cultures. In todays world, it is part of the official symbol of the Red Crescent Society, the counterpart of the Red Cross, and is also found on several flags of Islamic Countries. \n\nHowever, this symbol predates the founding of Islam by thousands of years, It apparently was used by Central Asian peoples and in Siberia for thousands of years, and was used to represent the Goddess Tanit in Carthage, and the Greek Goddess Diana. It is also very interesting that this symbol is similar to symbols that appear on several proposed and actual Confederate flags.

if I could travel at the speed of light [or close to it], what would I see in front of me?

*Chuckling for such a well thought out question actually has an easy answer* Blueshifted stars...\n\nBlue shift is the phenomenon that the frequency of an electromagnetic wave (such as light) emitted by a source moving towards the observer is shifted towards the blue side of the electromagnetic spectrum (that is, its wavelength is decreased).\n\nAs you would be moving towards those stars and the light they emit is also moving towards you, the Doppler Effect would change the light to a bluish color. The faster you go, the bluer it gets.\n\nIf you were to look behind you, the stars would be redshifted.\n\nFor much more on the topic, see below\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blueshift\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redshift\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doppler_effect\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_relativity

It is likely that Yahoo has not indexed your site yet, but Google already has.

Hard to say considering computers are updated very often. Take in the fact all the different companies out there. but here's something to ponder on.\nNewest computer model will help with design of future speedy electronics\nIn the past three years, more and more chip manufacturers have adopted a computer model created at Berkeley to design and simulate the operation of new integrated circuits -- computer chips -- before going to the expense of fabricating them. The BSIM, Berkeley Short-channel IGFET Model, can model the operation of single transistors or millions linked in an integrated circuit, like a computer processor. \n\nNow EECS professor Chenming Hu, the model's lead developer, has developed a new version, BSIM4. The model was released last week for use by the semiconductor industry. \n\n"It paves the way for engineers to design computer chips with blinding speed and wireless electronics that communicate at higher frequencies," said Hu.


Is SSN required for Driving License in FL?

According to the wording on Florida's DMV site regarding the acquisition of a license for a non-United States citizen:\n\n"Original Driver License or Identification Card Florida law requires identification, proof of date of birth and social security number (if issued) from all customers before a driver license or identification card can be issued."\n\nThe term "if issued" would have me think that it isn't necessary to have the number issued yet, as long as the other items listed are provided.\n\nI've included a link below to Florida's Department of Motor Vehicles information regarding this topic.


who knows the meaning of "linkin park" ,the name of a music band?

Bennington eventually suggested the use of Lincoln Park because he would drive by Lincoln Park in Santa Monica, California, on his way to the recording studio every day when the band was recording demos for its debut album. Bennington thought that it would be a good name for the band because of the fact that there are Lincoln Parks all over the country. He figured that the band would be recognized as a local band no matter where they went. However, since the domain name lincolnpark.com was already taken and the band couldn't afford to purchase it, they changed the spelling from "Lincoln" to "Linkin" so they could purchase a domain name in linkinpark.com.

can a man control his erections when being touchy with a woman?

Our language is going to make it hard for me to get my point across.  Can a man?  Only with more training and discipline than your boyfriend has.  I doubt that he was doing anything consciously.\nIf he had sex with someone else, guilt might have prevented him from getting excited, but stress could have the same effect.  Sex between humans is a complicated issue.  I believe that you are worry too much or feel very insecure in your relationship.  I would think from your question that you are just inexperienced.  Do not rush times.  Take your time.  And start talking with him.  Relationships are built on communication.

I have a twin brother and when ever we get togeather we end up getting high in some way.?

Your options are (1) Continue to do drugs with him even though you don't want to, or (2) Tell him you want to hang with him, but not if he's going to be stoned the whole time.  #1 just keeps the status quo up, while #2 requires him to make a choice - i.e., whether spending time with you is worth the horrific cost of having to be sober for a few hours.\n\nIf you want to try and make it seem easier, you can say that your workplace has started doing drug testing and you can't afford to lose the job; that way, it's not your fault that you can't smoke with him anymore.

What should I know about customer service and customer service repsesentatives?

That they are people too.  They deserve to be treated with the same respect that the customers expect.  And no, when the customer insults or becomes verbally abusive, they are not "right." So no, the customer is NOT "always right."\n\nTrue, without your customers, you would not have a business.  But remember also that without your employees, you would have no customers.


how can cardiovascular disease be prevented?

To prevent cardiovascular disease, some things to avoid are smoking and being overweight; some things that promote a healthy cardiovascular system are a healthy diet and exercise. \n\nSmoking should be avoided because the nicotine in them makes the blood vessels constrict and the heart to pump harder. This causes the blood pressure to rise. It also deterioates the lining of the vessels, allowing the build-up of plaque and the formation of atherosclerosis.\n\nBeing 20% over the recommended weight limit for your height can lead to hypertension. The extra weight causes the heart to work harder to get blood to all of the areas that need it.\n\nA diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol is a good preventitve step. The saturated fat contains the "bad" kind of cholesterol which can, if eaten too often, can cause the build-up of plaque on the arterial wall, restricting blood flow.\n\nExercise is a wonderful way to prevent cardiovascular disease. One study of middle-aged men who exercised an hour of 48 minutes or more a day had one-half less heart attacks than the other men who exercised for less time. \n\nOne last thing that helps to prevent cardiovascular disease is reducing stress. Meditation, yoga, or some activity similar to that has shown to relieve stress.


Is there such a thing as three strikes (felonies) and you go to Prison for life?for sure?

Yes, the "Three Strikes Law" is real...and the way it is applied in some states means that if you get in trouble when you are young (Let's say got busted breaking into a house and you had a gun...that's two felonies, B&E and unlawful possession of a firearm), then stay out of trouble for a decade or so, then get into a bar fight that results in assault charges, you can get a life sentence for that.

Do breath mints glow in the dark when being chewed?

Most students of the modern Life Saver classify sparking as a type of triboluminescence, which occurs when something is crushed or torn, the something in this case being the hard crystalline sugar that Life Savers contain. (Another example of TL is the spark you get when you tear the piece of tape off the end of a roll of photographic film.)\n\nWintergreen sparking, it's believed, is actually a three-step process. Step One: When you shatter the sugar crystals with your teeth, electrons (which are negatively charged) break free. As a result, the atoms in which the electrons were formerly embedded become positively charged. In what amounts to a subatomic game of musical chairs, the free electrons dash around madly trying to find a new home.\n\nStep Two: Meanwhile, as the sugar crystals disintegrate, nitrogen molecules from the air attach themselves to the fractured surfaces. When the free electrons strike the nitrogen molecules, they cause the latter to emit invisible ultraviolet radiation, along with a faint visible glow.\n\nStep Three: The UV radiation is absorbed by the wintergreen flavoring, methyl salicylate. This then emits the fairly bright blue light you see. Pretty complicated, I admit. Clearly the planners in the Pentagon weren't the first to be obsessed with high-tech gimcracks.

Why does everyone want to try to use the internet to make a fortune, like on ebay?

Because webspace and bandwidth have gotten so cheap, that the start up costs are very minimal. Since there is a large risk in any business, the internet is an attractive option because there is less to lose.\n\nOther things that appeal about the internet are the fact that it is international, and that it is used by a lot of people spanning lots of markets.


What was ur favorite superbowl commercial?


Antibiotics are not bad for you if used correctly.  They are bad if used inappropriately.  First, all drugs have side effects.  Antibiotics can give you GI symptoms, harm your kidneys, cause allergic reactions, etc.  But the more insidious side effect is the development of resistance.  Every time you use an antibiotic, you are challenging the bacterial flora in your body to a noxious agent.  Bacteria can mutate and evolve into more resistant strains.  What you are in effect doing by taking antibiotics is providing an environment to evolve stronger and more resistant bacteria, and killing off the weaker ones.  This makes treatment of infection more difficult the next time around.

I am 28 year old female weighing 250 pounds. Is bariatrics safe?

I'm not a doctor, but I'd say your level of obesity may not qualify you for the more extreme bariatric procedures.  Doctors tend to shy away from anything under morbidly obese, which is at least 100 pounds over the high end of your ideal weight.  They can still perform the procedure as an elective surgery, but you may be putting yourself through a difficult process for little long-term benefit.\n\nI know of people who have gained weight as a result of food allergies, not lack of exercise or high caloric intake.  You may have a trigger food or two that prevents meaningful weight loss.  Only an allergist could tell you for sure.\n\nThere could also be glandular conditions which result in weight gain, so you may want to consult a physician for a complete physical with blood work.  A low functioning thyroid is one reason some people lack a normal metabolism, for instance.  Diabetics or pre-diabetics can also lose weight once they start on blood sugar medications.\n\nBariatric surgery will definitely take the raw weight off your body, but you have to drink substantial amounts of water\nand maintain a very strict diet.  There is a significant risk of post-operative complications, even death.  The lap band procedure is considered safer than the gastric by-pass, and it is reversible.

title 1, article 3 section 5 subsection b of the illinois compiled statutes (ILCS) 720 ILCS 5 says:\n\n(b) Unless the statute describing the offense provides otherwise, or the period of limitation is extended by Section 3‑6, a prosecution for any offense not designated in Subsection (a) must be commenced within 3 years after the commission of the offense if it is a felony, or within one year and 6 months after its commission if it is a misdemeanor. \n(Source: P.A. 93‑834, eff. 7‑29‑04; 94‑487, eff. 11‑9‑05; 94‑683, eff. 11‑9‑05.)\n\n( from:  http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/ilcs/ilcs4.asp?DocName=072000050HArt%2E+3&ActID=1876&ChapAct=720%26nbsp%3BILCS%26nbsp%3B5%2F&ChapterID=53&ChapterName=CRIMINAL+OFFENSES&SectionID=60572&SeqStart=4700000&SeqEnd=5600000&ActName=Criminal+Code+of+1961%2E )\n\nthe section that describes the crime of burglary (720 ILCS 5 Article 19) does not make any provision for a different statute of limitation.  (see first link in sources below.)\n\nso, 3 years from the event sounds like the answer.

when white people had different bathrooms and waiting areas than blacks....where did spanish and chinese went?

Having been stationed in North carolina during the decade of the fifties, I sadly recall the WHITE ONLY drinking fountains and the WHITE ONLY bathrooms.  When on a military base, non of that existed, but once you walked out of those gates, it was a whole different and bigoted world.  The uniform meant nothing to the bigoted south.  A black soldier in uniform was still black.  An Asian or dark skinned hispanic were left alone, for the most part, and if they were challenged, they merely explained their heritage and were left alone.  However, if they were Hispanic with african features, in the eyes of the bigots, they were still negroes and subject to the same discrimination as the blacks. \nI recall an incident when I boarded a bus, while in uniform, the bus driver upon taking my fare said to me:" you can tell that black women that you want her seat, she has no business sitting there, anyway."  I said:" why would I do that, she has as much right to that seat as I do, and besides, where I come from we usually offer our seat to elderly people.  How can you do that to people, I don't understand the prejudice of the southern people."  He responded by saying:"Son, it isn't prejudice down here, it's preference."  Does this explain anything?

How many of you, out there, accept Jesus Christ as you Lord and Savior?

I accepted Him as Lord. I had to abdicate my throne and ask Him to teach me how to be a servant, for I have always allowed sin to reign in me. I had no control. I was selfish and gullable. I was always listening to Satan and the seeming pleasures and attractions that he put on sinning, sin being constantly everywhere. In asking Jesus to be Lord in my life, I chose to give my life up freely (I die). Now I am in Christ, I now have spiritual life. This is how I cope with my sin problem and my earthly desires daily. When I detect sins' first spark in my mind, I flee to christ immediately. If I sin for any reason, I flee to Christ immediately and ask forgiveness. Though I live in this world, I constantly wish to be in the spirit with God, where there is no sin. I call Him Savior cause you wouldn't believe where I've been before Him! Praise Him with great praise. Guess I got carried away with my testimony. God Bless You!


Genrally, I think I think all dental works hurts. If it hurts too bad, ask your dentist about it.


Makes the sale by getting you all "warm and fuzzy".\nIt's a sunshiney day.


Hiccups occur when a spasm contracts the diaphragm, a large sheet of muscle that separates the chest cavity from the abdominal cavity. This spasm causes an intake of breath that is suddenly stopped by the closure of the vocal cords (glottis). This closure causes the characteristic "hiccup" sound. A very full stomach can cause bouts of hiccups that go away on their own. Full stomach can be caused by:\nEating too much too fast. \nDrinking too much alcohol. \nSwallowing too much air. \nSmoking. \nSudden change in stomach temperature, such as drinking a hot beverage and then a cold beverage. \nEmotional stress or excitement.

Is there really such a thing as a Code Black in a hospital?

Yes there is. All hospitals have colored codes to indicate different types of emergencies,;everyone knows,by now, what a Code Blue is, thanks to TV hospital shows.

Humm good question. What really matters to me is truth, we're a truth challenged society, and I don't just mean the USA  I mean the global village. On dating sites we lie about who we are, let's not even talk about politicians  ( I think they have a second face surgically installed just  so they can tell untruths more convincingly) even to ourselves we can't tell the truth, we're so used to talking out of both sides of our head we don't know the truth from a lie any more. I don't think we need to be offensive with the truth but it seems these days that only Klansmen and Idiots feel free to be truthful about the way they feel (not that any of us want to hear it). But I think we all need to be more honest with ourselves and each other.


how do somebody with low self esteem overcome it,how do one mak lasting friends,what are d qualities 2 look 4?

Low self esteem comes from exaggerating the importance of your weaknesses and minimizing the importance of your strengths.  The way to overcome it is to reverse this process.\n\nPeople have different skills, abilities, characteristics, and it is not uncommon for someone to consider the area in which they are most lacking to be the most important.  Thus, a pretty girl says looks are not important, but brains are; a smart girl says looks are more important.\n\nThe fact is, you must play to your strengths, and develop them.  Look around at the people you admire:  what are the reasons you admire them?  Don't you think other people can admire you for what you are, and not for those areas in which you are found wanting?\n\nAll my life, I have been told that it comes down to money, looks and brains; I failed to consider other factors, such as integrity, courage, good manners, good judgment.  I was below average in money and looks, and so discounted the extent to which I was above average in intelligence, as well as the importance of intelligence in other people's eyes.  This is especially a problem because envy cannot be recognized lest a person seem vain.  My beautiful friend cannot, with good manners, admit to others that she is very beautiful, so she does not see that she must admit it to herself.  \n\nLook for your strengths, develop them.  Look for situations where those strengths are most important, and pursue them.\n\nGood luck!

What is the song Drops of Jupiter by Train about?

"Was it everything you wanted to find and did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there "\nHe is singing about an old love who left him to "go find herself" or said she needed some time alone.  \n\nand now she is back...having experienced all sorts of things without him and he feels inferior.\n\n"Now that she's back in the atmosphere I'm afraid that she might think of me as plain ol' Jane.  Told a story about a man who is too afraid to fly so he never did land" \n\nI think he may be trying to be sarcastic about her journey, but his pain at her leaving him is evident.

Microsoft offers systems and software for providers not for consumers. \n\nRight now is only 2 companies offering IPTV service in the US. One is a family IPTV service and the other one is an adult IPTV service, which I don't recommend if you want regular tv channels. Because they only offer 180 adult related channels.\n\nNow the other one offers almost 7,000 channels, and is very cheap. Only $69 for their IPTV reciever. I know because my uncle has it and is pretty cool...\n\nI gonna upadate my cable to IPTV pretty soon, too. I hope!\n\nCheck the links below...

Is the U.S. going to war with North Korea?  If so, when and why?

Technically, the US is still at war with North Korea. We only signed a cease-fire with North Korea back in 1953. We never officially signed a peace agreement with them. Now if your asking if someone will negate the cease-fire soon, I believe the answer is no.\n\nNorth Korea is a whole different animal than the Iran, Iraq and the Middle East. Kim Jong Il knows that he cannot win a war with the US and ROK forces. While his army is one of the largest in the world, it is starving, underpaid, and has some of the worst equipment in the world. Most of which they do not even have spare parts and fuel for. They also would not have air or sea dominance at all, which you need to have if you want a large scale attack to succeed. Their main power lies in there artillery and Special Forces. But those could be negated as well.\n\nThe US and South Korea (ROK) is pretty much buying out there time there. The sanctions placed on North Korea are definitely affecting them. The people of North Korea are even more hungry than the military, because Kim Jong Il has a Military-First policy. Most people believe that there will eventually be a revolution in North Korea. \n\nThere are a couple of wildcards though. Their nuclear capabilities, and if Kim Jong Il is crazy enough to use them is one of them. No one really knows 100% what would happen if he used them. It would be extremely bad for the world. China is the other one, they have been trying to help out N Korea with aid, but even they don't agree with some of the tactics that they are using. They included do not want N Korea to us Nuclear weapons.

how Transfer Data With Telephon Line Without An Internet Connection?

Most of the popular remote control programs allow you to send and receive files while connected to a remote computer via a dial-up connetion.\n\nI find PC Anywhere the easiest to use.  \n\nLaplink Gold is another great choice.\n\nBoth support connecting to remote computers via a dial-up connection.\n\nThese programs are a bit pricey if you plan to make a one time connection.  And there may be cheaper alternatives for a one-time (or very infrequent) use scenario.  However, if you plan to use this connection regularly and wish to do it with the greatest east, I would highly suggest the use of one of the commercial programs that I listed above.\n\nGood Luck.

hey..is there anybody have information about the red cow....!!!?

From an article titled "The Strange Case of Israel's Red Heifer", Newsweek magazine, May 19,1997. In the past, a red heifer was burnt, the ashes mixed with water, and this was used to purify the temple.  After that purification, 7 jars of the 'red heiffer' remained, but they were destroyed when Titus of Rome burned the temple to the ground in 60A.D.(?)  The red heiffer referred to in the article is the first one born in Israel in over 2000 years.  An end times necessity.

Can anyone explain all about the football playbook/play calls/audible (american football)?

Some of this is football slang. The shotgun-he's going to throw it. Audibles are used when the offense reads something in the defense they don't like. This tells all the offensive players to go to the backup play. Some codes are used only for that team so the other team won't know what's being said. Some words are the actual position, like what slot or hole to run. A slant or drag is a type of run and it tells the recievers which way to run across the field. Some plays are famous, like hook & ladder, or Statue of liberty. The option means the quarterback can throw or hand off, on the bootleg, the QB is hiding the ball behind his leg.

It's easy to make vague claims about "physicians, pharmacists & chemists"--it's quite another to back them up with scientific evidence.\n\nI would guess that any pain relief is actually the result of counter-irritation.  In other words, the ingredients make your skin feel both warm and cool at the same time (much like IcyHot) and that sensation helps mask other pains.\n\nI'm gonna' duck now.

in harry potter and the goblet of fire wat does "neither can live while the other survives" mean?

I personaly think that it means if Harry doesnt die, Voldemort wonth die. If you have read the sixth book- you will know about horckrooks (i am not sure i spell it right). Those are things where Voldemort has parts of his soul. Some people think that Karry is one and until all 7 of them arent destroyd Voldemort will be able to return. So if Harry is one of them he will have to be destroyd (killed) so eventualy to destroy Voldemort.


I assume that you don't mean local temperature since you could just refer to the local weather report.  Instead one can speak of a theoretical temperature of the Earth based upon its distance from the Sun, size of the Earth and reflectivity (or albeto) of the Earth.  \nThis temperature comes out to about 255K or -18C or -1F.\nOther effects such as greenhouse and radioactivity make this temperature higher.\n\nAn explanation of something like this can be found at the URL in the source.


What is the meaning of life, the universe and everything?

Life – it has a meaning and loving purpose - you just have to find your purpose and live it.\n\nI believe every person is here for a definite purpose. Each person is special and valuable; that refers to me, you, your family, friends, in fact everybody! There is a loving plan for each of our lives here on earth and there is no such thing as coincidence. I don't believe that anything in life happens by chance and that every aspect of our lives points to something deeper.\n\nYou need to decide now to live for God rather than for yourself. You spend your life on Earth preparing yourself (as best you can) for death. I don't see death as a scary, negative experience, but birth into a bliss filled eternal life with God. I believe that this is something you have to consciously choose or not during your life on earth.\n\nThe meaning of life is for us to discover that we are true children of an infinitely loving and merciful God, to find out what our responsibilities are to our Creator, and to fulfill those responsibilities. Each of us is called to affirm, accept and develop the talents God has given us.


The first working laser was made by Theodore H. Maiman in 1960[2] at Hughes Research Laboratories in Malibu, California, beating several research teams including those of Townes at Columbia University, and Arthur L. Schawlow at Bell Labs. Maiman used a solid-state flashlamp-pumped synthetic ruby crystal to produce red laser light at 694 nanometres wavelength. Maiman's laser, however, was only capable of pulsed operation due to its three energy level transitions. Later in the same year the Iranian physicist Ali Javan, together with William Bennet and Donald Herriot, made the first gas laser using helium and neon. Javan later received the Albert Einstein Award in 1993.

what is the best medication for a 9 yer old with adhd?

The term "ADHD" is simply a label used to categorise a list of psychosocial traits that Psychiatry considers to be improper or abnormal in society. Psychiatry defines these traits as a "mental illness", and promotes it as a "disease" that requires "treatment".\n\nIt is not a "disease", despite claims or implications made by certain psychiatric or pharmaceutical organisations. There is NO credible scientific evidence that shows the existence of what constitutes "ADHD" as a biological/neurological disorder, brain abnormality or "chemical imbalance".\n\n"For a disease to exist there must be a tangible, objective physical abnormality that can be determined by a test such as, but not limited to, blood or urine test, X-Ray, brain scan or biopsy. All reputable doctors would agree: No physical abnormality, no disease. In psychiatry, no test or brain scan exists to prove that a 'mental disorder' is a physical disease. Disingenuous comparisons between physical and mental illness and medicine are simply part of psychiatry's orchestrated but fraudulent public relations and marketing campaign." Fred Baughman, MD., Neurologist & Pediatric Neurologist.\n\n"Chemical imbalance…it’s a shorthand term really, it’s probably drug industry derived… We don’t have tests because to do it, you’d probably have to take a chunk of brain out of someone - not a good idea." Dr. Mark Graff, Chair of the Committee of Public Affairs for the American Psychiatric Association. July, 2005.\n\nSuch behavioural characteristics that Psychiatry created this unscientific "disease" from are, and always have been, generally considered "normal". Now, it seems, inattention or "hyperactivity" (Hyperactivity means 'excessively active'* -- what is excessive? On whose authority?? It's ridiculous!!) is abnormal, a "mental illness".\n\nFor a rundown of the exact diagnostic criteria of "attention deficit disorder" visit: http://groups.msn.com/psychbusters/diagnosticcriteria.msnw\n\nFor information on the junkscience behind psychiatric "testing" for "ADHD" visit: http://adhdtesting.org/\n\nFor a list of what inattention COULD be attributed to (rather than some fraudulent "mental illness") visit: http://adhdparentssupportgroup.homestead.com/50conditionsmimicingADHD.html\n\nFor more information, see;\n\nhttp://groups.msn.com/psychbusters/addadhd.msnw\nhttp://groups.msn.com/psychbusters/adhdfacts.msnw\nhttp://www.adhdfraud.org/\nhttp://www.ritalindeath.com/\nhttp://cchr.org/files/7515/child_drug_EN.pdf\nhttp://www.ablechild.org/\n\n"We are not "overdrugging" or misdiagnosing" ADHD. ADHD is a total, 100 percent fraud. The many millions of schoolchildren around the world who are being drugged have no disease." Fred Baughman, Jr., M.D. Child Neurologist and a Fellow of the American Academy of Neurology.\n\n"Parents are seldom told that Ritalin is ‘speed’—that it is pharmacologically classified with amphetamines, has the same effects, side effects, and risks. Yet this is well-known in the profession...." Dr. Peter R. Breggin & Ginger Ross Breggin, The War Against Children, P. 84.\n\n"...But because ADD is so vaguely defined, even for a psychiatric disorder, it is tailor-made for bogus claims. There are, as the American Psychiatric Association’s latest diagnostic manual concedes, "no laboratory tests that have been established as diagnostic" for "Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder."
