Why does science look for new answers while Religion tries to suppress novel ideas?

Check out Gregg Braden.  He has, in my opinion, successfully merged Science and Religion stating that both are necessary.  No, he does not have all the answers, I don't think anyone does.  But I do feel he is definitely on the right track.

What's the best way tp get rid of a cold?

Common treatments include: analgesics such as aspirin or acetaminophen, as well as localised versions targeting the throat (often delivered in lozenge form), nasal decongestants which reduce the inflammation in the nasal passages by constricting local blood vessels, cough suppressants (which work to suppress the cough reflex of the brain or by diluting the mucus in the lungs), and first-generation anti-histamines such as brompheniramine, chlorpheniramine, and clemastine (which reduce mucus gland secretion and thus combat blocked/runny noses but also may make the user drowsy). Second generation anti-histamines do not have a useful effect on colds.\n\nA warm and humid environment and drinking lots of fluids, especially hot liquids, alleviate symptoms somewhat. Common home remedies include camomile or lemon tisanes and chicken soup (which probably work by soothing the irritated respiratory passages with their steam), nebulized medicinal mixtures, hot compresses, mustard plasters, hot toddies, licorice and echinacea. Although there have been scientific studies done on echinacea, its effectiveness has not been demonstrated. Eating very spicy food can help alleviate congestion, although it may also irritate the already-tender throat. Coffee, or its active component, caffeine, has also been shown to improve mood and mental performance during rhinovirus infection. Hot beer is also recommended, and though it probably does little to fight the infection directly, at least it can help to a good night of relaxed sleep. However, alcohol dehydrates the body which is counterproductive; also cold medicine (aspirin, acetaminophen, ibuprofen, etc) should never be taken along with alcohol.

There is a bulge of water on the side of the earth facing the moon because of lunar gravity. The previous explinations for the second bulge (on the opposite side of the moon) are incorrect.  The mass of the earth is constantly accelerating toward the moon, as they orbit eachother.  The smaller second bulge is a result of the earth accelerating away from the water, toward the moon

Why should it. Only some people who think they are those who make the rules try to make us believe it should matter. If two people feel attracted to one another, why care about age?\nThere is one exception, however, when it comes to very young age (16 or less), caution is to be exercised...

I believe there actually was a bootleg recording, and I've seen some video footage, of The Beatles '66 show at Budokan. Nothing legit, however. Cheap Trick, of course, is the most well-known and obvious answer. Bob Dylan also had a two LP set recorded live at Budokan, released legitimately in Japan. Also, the three LP live set by Santana entitled "Lotus."


How can computer companies make such cheap computers?

Most large computer manufacturers are able to purchase large quantities of memory, hard drives, motherboards and other hardware components at steep discounts.  Therefore it makes sense that they can offer you "cheap" computers.  But most of these computers use lower end processors such as Celerons or Semprons which do not provide the performance of Athlons or Pentium 4s.\n\nThe same holds true for software, they buy large quantities of Office and Windows from Microsoft and they are given a discount.  Of course when you buy a computer prices are marked up a little so the company can make a profit.\n\nIf your husband is really interested in building computers (as a living?) or for himself I reccomend taking a look at Extreme Tech's step by step guide to building your own computer.

What are the Sedition and Naturalization Acts?

The Sedition Act has been the name of three laws passed by the United States Congress:\n\n    * The Sedition Act of 1798\n    * The Sedition Act of 1861\n    * The Sedition Act of 1918\n\nThe Sedition Act is also a Law in Singapore.\n\nhe Alien and Sedition Acts were passed during the administration of President John Adams; his signature made it into law on July 14, 1798. They were designed to protect the United States from "dangerous" aliens.\n\nWith war looming against a major power, France, Federalists in Congress in 1798 passed the laws to protect national security. They were similar (but not as stringent) as laws passed at about the same time in Britain and Canada in response to the threat of subversion by agents of the radical French government. Jeffersonians, however, downplayed the dangers the nation faced and insisted the laws were a tool of the ruling Federalist party. Because most immigrants became Democratic-Republicans, the Naturalization Act's longer residency requirement meant that fewer of them could become citizens and vote against the Federalists. Under the Alien and Alien Enemies Acts, the president could deport any "dangerous" or "enemy" alien—a law that is still in effect in 2005.\n\nUnder the Sedition Act, anyone "opposing or resisting any law of the United States, or any act of the President of the United States" could be imprisoned for up to two years. It was also illegal to "write, print, utter, or publish" anything critical the president or Congress. (It was notable that the Act did not prohibit criticism of the Vice-President. Jefferson held the office of Vice-President at the time the Act was passed.) While it appears harsh to current Americans, the act was actually much more lenient that the traditional British law of seditious libel. For instance:\n\n    * The act required the defamatory words to be false, and it permitted the defendant to plead truth as a defense, unlike traditional seditious libel law, in which truth actually made the offense greater ("The greater the truth, the greater the libel."). In other words, as long as someone uttered or published the truth, he could not be convicted under the Sedition Act.\n\n    * The act required the defendant to know of the defamatory words' falsity. In other words, someone who uttered a falsehood believing it to be the truth could not be convicted.\n\n    * The act permitted the use of a jury to determine both the facts and the law in the case, unlike traditional seditious libel.\n\nDespite these modifications, however, Jeffersonians denounced the Sedition Act as a violation of the First Amendment of the United States Bill of Rights, which granted the right of free speech. Although the Federalists hoped the Act would muffle the opposition, Democratic-Republicans still "wrote, printed, uttered and published" their criticisms of the Federalists. Indeed they strongly criticised the act itself, and used it as an election issue. The act expired when the term of President Adams ended.\n\nThomas Jefferson and James Madison opposed the Acts, and drafted the Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions in protest, calling on the states to, in effect, veto federal legislation.\n\nUltimately the Acts backfired against the Federalists; President Adams himself never supported the laws or used them. Only one alien was actually deported, and only ten people were ever convicted of sedition.\n\nAlthough the Supreme Court never ruled on the validity of any of the Alien and Sedition acts, subsequent mentions of the Sedition Act in particular in Supreme Court opinions have assumed that it was unconstitutional. For example in the seminal Free Speech case of New York Times v. Sullivan, the Court declared, "Although the Sedition Act was never tested in this Court, the attack upon its validity has carried the day in the court of history." 376 U.S. 254, 276 (1964).\n\nNaturalization Act\n\nThe Na

From a physics/physiology standpoint, we have color because light waves come in different lengths and our eyes perceive a limited band of thoses lengths with differing responses by light sensors in the eyes.\n\nFrom an evolutionary standpoint, color vision (as opposed to black and white), gives us a great deal more information to process our environment.  For instance, a brightly colored bird might hardly be visible to an animal with only black and white vision, but we see it easily, even against a confusing background.  Color can help us see the difference between animal (browns) and plants (greens), healthy(a child covered in mud) and unhealthy (a child covered in blood), and other differences that are more easily recognized due to the greater information richness available.


A strange attractor is the limit set of a chaotic trajectory. A strange  \nattractor is an attractor that is topologically distinct from a periodic orbit  \nor a limit cycle. A strange attractor can be considered a fractal attractor.  \nAn example of a strange attractor is the Henon attractor.  \n  \nConsider a volume in phase space defined by all the initial conditions a  \nsystem may have. For a dissipative system, this volume will shrink as the  \nsystem evolves in time (Liouville's Theorem). If the system is sensitive to  \ninitial conditions, the trajectories of the points defining initial \nconditions will move apart in some directions, closer in others, but \nthere will be a net shrinkage in volume. Ultimately, all points will \nlie along a fine line of zero volume. This is the strange attractor.  All \ninitial points in phase space which ultimately land on the attractor \nform a Basin of Attraction. A strange attractor results if a system is\nsensitive to initial conditions and is not conservative.

life cycle of a plant. ans for 10yrs old?

1. Seed: a little baby plant, sleeping until the right time comes along\n2. Germination: the baby plant pokes out of its seed when there is enough moisture and the right temperature\n3. Growth: using energy from the sun and nutrients from the soil the plant grows to its full size\n4. Flowering: When it is big enough, the plant will start to make flowers so that it can make new seeds\n5. Pollination/fertilization: two types of plant parts must come together to make a new seed. Sometimes insects help this happen.\n6. New seed!

HOW DO YOU FIGURE OUT INCH PER GALLON ON A TANK THAT 10' X 35'?

A non-combat veteran, he was two months into training when World War I ended on 11 November 1918.


Is it true that if someone dies, the soul gets freedom from the current body and ready to enter in a Birth?

i have found such to be true...  but that the soul doesn't have to just jump right back in to another body.  it can live in the astral realms for a time first, if it so wishes.\n\nmost religions will explain this with philosophical statements and questions rather than cold, scientific facts.  truly, this is a quest you must follow for yourself.  if you need help, i suggest checking out some of the teachings of buddhism.  you don't have to believe in them if you don't want to, but comparing texts often gives you a fine base from which you can draw your own personal conclusions.\n\ni frequent the y-messenger chat rooms under the name Suhrim, and only that name.  i wrote a paper on my personal theories regarding this (too long to cut and paste into here).  if you want, you can find me in the paganism rooms.. usually the higher numbers.. about once a week.  if you wish, i can then cut and paste that paper into the pm window.  :)

alternatives to promotion of an employee and if an employee does not want to accept the promotion?

More money (cash, stock, options, benefits) is the obvious answer. Other than that, anything to show appreciation. Put the employee in charge of choice projects. Give the employee a chance to leave a legacy by giving him training/guidance responsibility, or make him/her a mentor of younger employees, so s/he can pass on their knowledge. \n\nIn some companies there are "soft" but effective ways to show appreciation: feater the employee on a headline article on the corporate Intranet; arrange a lunch with the CEO, etc.\n\nMore importantly, however: I would try to establish why the employee doesn't want the promotion. Maybe the next management layer is seen as too "cutthroat"? Maybe the employee is afraid that he might be loosing his technical edge if he gets into management? Maybe there's considerable animosity vs. the "higher-ups"? If it's a reason like that, you'd better get started on an organizational improvement.

If today is 0 celcius and tomorrow is twice as colder than today! then what will be tomorrow's temperature?

Hot and cold are relative words we use to describe heat sensations.  As such they can not form true ratios.  Is laughter twice as good as sadness?  But in the lab, temperatures must be compared in ratios, such as to solve the perfect gas equation, and absolute temperature must be used.  For example your friend lives 100 miles from Chicago and you live 10 miles beyound that.  If you walk ten more miles farther away from Chicago are you now twice as far away as you were?  NO!  Using absolute values you must walk 110 miles farther away.\n\nFor temperatures, Absolute zero is -273K (minus 273 Kelvin degrees).  That is the temperature at which all thermal energy has been lost for all matter.  (It is like Chicago in our simple example).  Therefore, O Celcius is plus 273K and twice as cold (or half as hot) would be 136.5K or minus 136.5C, which is indeed very cold.  Brrrrr!

How do you go to college if you dont have money,bad credit, and no family or friends with good credit?!?

The first thing to do is to file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) available from http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/,\n\nThere are a number of funding sources for students of limited means. Most however require information from the FAFSA, which can be transmitted to them electronically once you have completged the FAFSA.  For the students with the most limited finances grants, which don't have to be paid back are often available.  Then need based scholarships that do not require repayment are the next option.  \n\nFollowing those options are non-need based scholarships and there are hundreds of thousands of those available to all sorts of different students from football players, to clarinet players, to left handed students and red haired students.  Fastweb.com as someone else mentioned is a good place to look for those.\n\nThere are also loans based on need which do not take into account a student's credit.  These loans are guaranteed by the federal government and must be paid back.   There are several different loan programs available. \n\nTalk to your guidance counselor at high school, as well as the financial aid professionals at the colleges you plan to attend.  I have always heard that if a college wants a student and the student wants the college they will find a way to work it out!\n\nGood luck!


How would I put a (gif) from my pc to the top of an e-mail w/o attachment so its seen upon opening the mail?

No can do.  But can be worked around with other methods.  For a picture to be put in an e-mail it either has to be 1. attached on the message, or 2. available on the web to link to.\n\nIf you want to use #2, then post the picture someplace like your personal pictures in My Yahoo, get the URL to the picture, and then put this in your e-mail\n<img src='..theurltoyourpic..'> Or use your e-mail's URL linking ability if it has that option.\n\nThat's a basic how to, and many e-mail programs won't allow you to do this, so don't expect it to work well.

How to Know the Type of a Differential Equation?

A first-order differential equation of the form:\n\na1(x)*(dy/dx) + a0(x)*y = g(x)\n\nis a linear equation.\n\nWhen g(x) = 0, it's homogenous.\n\nSo, (x^2-9)(dy/dx) + xy = 3 is linear and similarly, (x^2-9)(dy/dx) + xy = 0 is homogenous.\n\nA first-order differntial equation of the form\n\ndy/dx = g(x)h(y)\n\nis separable.\n\nSo dy/dx = (y^2)x(e^(3x+4y)) is seperable since (y^2)x(e^(3x+4y)) = (x(e^3x))((y^2)(e^4y)), and dy/dx = y + sin(x) is NOT separble since it cannot be defined as a product of two equations seperately of x and y.\n\nI can't recall how to discern if a diff equation is exact, but this webpage\n\nhttp://www.utpb.edu/scimath/wkfield/mod2/Exact.html\n\ngives a very detailed explanation.\n\nHope that helps.

There are different types of hard drives, but usually the new ones come with an external enclosure with either a USB port or a Firewire (IEEE1394) port.  If you have a computer with either of these ports you are good to go.  Since I have a USB drive, I can provide you these steps:\n\nAssuming that you have switched on your computer, connect the hard drive to the power supply (some drives can directly take power from the USB cable and hence don't need to be connected to the power supply).  So verify first whether your drive needs a power supply.\n\nSecondly, connect the drive via a USB cable to the USB port of your computer.\n\nIf you have Windows XP, it will automatically recognize the drive as a USB device (so you don't have to install special drivers, if you are using Windows 98, you might have to install USB drivers that come with the external drive before connecting it to your PC).\n\nThats it, you are all set.  You can access the drive using Windows Explorer or My Computer and save files to it just like your computer's internal hard drive.

if you have lost a lot of weight, how much did you eat each day?

I lost 50 pounds in 3 months. While that is pretty quick to lose that much weight, I admit I did not do it very safely. I exercised (and still do) every day, and was eating 600-800 calories a day. I don't recommend anyone do this, because the minimum you should be giving your body is 1200. I understand that, but was desperate to lose the weight fast because I am getting married.

what do when you cam't get a job? so you can move out of your grandmas house?

HA! How old are you again?! Honestly, I wouldn't discontinue job searching. File for unemployement if need be while in the meanwhile you can still search. Are there any talents/skills/trade that you have that can make you some extra change?? I agree with changing environments, too. Sometimes a change of venue & establishing a strong network can help you get a job. Don't forget tax time is right around the corner. Maybe someone can file you as a dependent--Or you can file? \n\nWhen job searching you can't be too pickey either when you don't have anything. Try temp agencies, networking, internet, word of mouths, etc. There's a lot you can do to find a job. Don't have too much pride where even working at fast food isn't enough. It's not cute or sexy being picky, broke, & homeless. I suggest finding something out there & save up. Good Luck!


In terms of Christianity, it is forbidden by the bible.


The Rafi party (רשימת פועלי ישראל "Worker's List") was formed in 1965 by former Prime Minister of Israel David Ben Gurion, after he and a number of other Mapai members split with his successor, Levi Eshkol over the Lavon affair. Among the leaders of the new party were Shimon Peres and Moshe Dayan who had been implicated (they claimed unfairly) in the Lavon affair and were upset by Mapai's failure to support them. The new party hoped to displace Mapai as Israel's leading party, however, the party only won ten seats in the 1965 elections to the Knesset on a platform calling for electoral reform. In 1967, Rafi joined the national unity government that had been formed due to the Six Day War. The next year, Rafi reconciled with Mapai to form a new party, the Alignment (which later became the Israeli Labour Party). Ben Gurion refused to go along, however, and sat as an independent Member of the Knesset until the 1969 election in which he led a new party, the State List.

Because the water collects minerals from the floor of the ocean and so on and it isn't circulated or "refreshed" as a freshwater lake would be.  For instance, the Great Lakes are freshwater because they constantly drain out into the oceans.  The water is replenished all the time, not just sitting in one spot.  It doesn't give them time to collect the minerals to get salty.  If a lake, such as the Great Salt Lake in Utah, doesn't have this circulation (not sure what the scientific word is for it, but there is one), a place to drain so the water can be replenished, it becomes salty because it absorbs the minerals.

I'm looking for a dictionary program that allows use of wild cards  ( ? and *) for looking up words.?


In an auto crash, the seat belt provides the pressure and surface area against the body. What causes ....?

If I understand the question correctly, I think the force you're looking for is inertia. Your body is moving at the speed of the car - then the car stops. Now the car has no speed, but you're still moving forward at that speed until something (hopefully the seat belt) acts to stop you.\n\nIf you're referring to the force provided to stop you - that's the Newtonian counter-force to your inertia moving forward.

why is the world round?  (Test Question)?

Our world, Earth, is a planet, and planets are round because their gravitational field acts as though it originates from the center of the body and pulls everything toward it. With its large body and internal heating from radioactive elements, a planet behaves like a fluid, and over long periods of time succumbs to the gravitational pull from its center of gravity. The only way to get all the mass as close to planet's center of gravity as possible is to form a sphere. The technical name for this process is "isostatic adjustment."\n\nIf the shape of the Earth were due solely to gravity it would be a perfect sphere (round in 3 dimensions) but it's not, the Earth is shaped like what is called an oblate spheroid. As the Earth spins on it's axis, it produces a centrifugal force that pulls away from the Earth (in opposition to gravity)  at 90 degrees from the spin axis, this corresponds to the equatorial regions. So the Earth bulges out a little around it's middle.


There is indeed a thread in philosophy that treats mathematical truth as representing some kind of eternal fixed world.  However, there are plenty of mathematical objects other than numbers that have a rich field of mathematics associated with them.\n\nFor example, one defines a group as being a set of elements and an operation between them, denoted '+' (a bit like 'addition', but not restricted to acting on numbers) such that:\n1) If a and b are elements in our group then there is an element c such that a + b = c\n2) There exists an element of our group O such that for every element a in our group, a + O = a.\n3) For every element a in our group, there is also an element b such that a + b = 0.\n4) If we pick three elements in our group, then (a + b) + c = a + (b + c).\n\nThis is an abstract definition, and doesn't prescribe what the underlying elements actually are.  All it says is that they must satisfy (1)-(4) to be called a group.  You can probably check for yourself that numbers do satisfy these rules, although there are many particular examples of groups where numbers don't provide enough flexibility to be considered as the underlying elements.\n\nNow, mathematicians spend a lot of time studying these, and other, mathematical objects, and there are many beautiful theorems associated with them.  These objects, and the theorems about them, should be considered as eternal as the numbers whilst at the same time being different to the numbers.

Does a magnetic monopole exist? If not then why is the term "pole strength" is used?

Nope.  They better not.  That would be the worst.  We still say "pole strength" because bar magnets have poles.  Monopole would mean just a north or south pole alone, which doesn't happen. Dipoles, quadrupoles, and the like are in abundance, so "pole" is still a good word.


What do people want in an answer to make it a best answer?

In my opinion, I think a best answer should not only include a correct answer to the question, but also an explanation, or further information about the topic.  I also think it is helpful for you to include a source that has more information about the topic, not just a dictionary page, or something similar.  Hope this helps!

should I marry a man, just because he's good to my son?

It's great that you've found someone who treats your son the way all kids should be treated but the bottom line is, if your wish for him is to grow into a healthy, well-adjusted young man, it will be the relationship he's seen between his mother and this man that she apparently doesn't really  love (at least, not the deep, committed,trusting kind that "good" marriages should have.) \nNEVER marry a man just for the kids sake.  It should be because you know that you have found your soulmate and that to spend the rest of your life without them, would not be living at all!!


While I'm a Christian myself (don't hold it against me.  ;) ), I don't object at all to hearing Happy Holidays.  This is a country that, although not based on the principles of true religious equality, has adapted such lately.  It would be consideed rather forceful if Jewish persons went around correcting everyone to 'Happy Hanukkah', for some persons to suggest Kwanzaa, and etc.  As well, there are atheists and other individuals who do not believe in these holidays.  For that reason--it is more politically correct--and polite--to say such terms.  Claiming that you're being discriminated against while discriminating against others is not an excuse conservatives should use.

Why are Mummys afraid of cats back then for real?

The Mummys from actint Egypt are afraid of cats because they have been enemies for thousands of years. Everyone knows a cats inclination to chasing things, just take a piece of yarn and swing it in front of your cat, he will go for it, anyway Mummies naturally have pieces of cloth hanging loose, and in their hayday, swarms of cats would overwhelm a Mummy who strayed from the herd. Many a mummy lived a short afterlife after being unwrapped by a pack of street cats, so much so that actint Mummys first developed aluminum foil to act as a distraction in case of a cat attack.\n\nSo to answer your question, Mummys are dead, and have never walked after that, the fear of cats is a made up thing, in fact hundreds of thousands of cats were mummified by ancient egyptians, as they were revered by them.


How might a country like Iraq become a secular democracy?

Iraq can become a secular democracy by building secularism (secularity?) into their constitution.  By explicitly establishing that church and state should remain separate, and by further defining the limitations of one upon the other, they can establish a secular democracy.\n\nOf course, any true democracy will reflect to some degree the moral/religious leanings of a majority of its voting citizens.  A democracy is not inherently secular or religious.  It is inherently of, by, and for its people and nothing more.


Is getting an SBA loan easy, and what is the process?

There are some people out there that can help you with the process of obtaining an SBA loan - all the paperwork can be pretty intimidating by yourself.  If you check the American Association of Retired people (website below) you will find a group of people who are dedicated to helping people start up businesses and getting business loans.  They will make things much easier for you, and I don't think they charge any (or very little) for their services.

According to CIA world FactBook, 7,163,506 according to July 2005 estimates. You can read a detailed article on it at the following source :


If we are on earth, are weight and mass equal. why or why not?

No matter where you are, weight and mass are different things.  Mass is a measurement of a quantity of matter, while weight is a measurement of the force of gravity on a given mass.  Mass is an inherent quality in an object that doesn't change, no matter where it is.  Weight can change depending on where the object is.  \n\nIf you were to choose a set of units where either your mass or the acceleration due to gravity were equal to 1 at some point on earth, then your mass and weight would have an equal value, but that would only be true in those units, for your mass, at that point on earth, and doesn't mean that the two concepts are equal. \n\nThe two links below give more detail about the difference bewteen weight and gravity.

Why didn't Harry Potter rat out Malfoy's Dad at the end of the last movie?

This is explained in the books.

Hope any previous answers haven't completely eradicated the joy of reading the remaining books.


The answer might seem to be yes, or at least maybe. After all, moonlight is reflected sunlight. And if direct sunlight can cause you to tan and even burn, then why not reflected sunlight? Sure, moonlight clearly isn't as strong as light coming directly from the sun. But perhaps enough exposure to a radiant moon could cause a very light tan.\n\nBut the actual answer, as you may have guessed, is no. You can't get a tan from the moon, no matter how bright. You see, we tan when our skin produces melanin in reaction to the sun's ultraviolet light. Ultraviolet rays are harmful; they can cause skin damage and even cancer. Our skin produces melanin as a defense against ultraviolet rays. Melanin absorbs ultraviolet radiation, thereby protecting the skin's cells. So the more ultraviolet light, the more melanin our skin will produce.\n\nThe catch is that it takes a certain amount of ultraviolet sunlight to make the skin produce melanin. Sunlight reaching us via the moon just doesn't have enough ultraviolet oomph to trigger the skin's defensive shield. A full moon may look really bright, but the surface of the moon is actually pretty dark. The moon absorbs most of the sunlight that hits it.\n\nOf course, some of the sun's reflected ultraviolet light does reach us. Theoretically, prolonged exposure to moonlight could cause some damage. But in this case "prolonged" means hundreds of years of continuous moon bathing. But under normal conditions our skin quickly repairs whatever minimal damage is caused by the light of the silvery moon.

Why Do Asian People Have Red Dots On Thier Heads?

Not all Asian people have red dots on their foreheads. Only women wear them. It's only the Indians and some people from parts of Nepal and Bangladesh. There are a few reasons why women wear these red dots called 'bindis' on their foreheads:\n\n1. It is believed in Hindu mythology that there is an invisible third eye in between every pair of eyes. This third eye is believed to be a great source of energy. So the bindi is placed on the forehead in between the eyes to concentrate all the energy at that point. \n2. It symbolizes marriage, but unmarried girls are allowed to wear them. Widows are not.\n\nToday the bindi is worn more as an accessory. It comes in many shapes and sizes other than the big red dot. But these are the reasons why people originally started wearing it.

According to the Wikipedia, "Symptoms typically begin several hours after ingestion and depending on the agent involved, can include one or more of the following: nausea, abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea, fever, headache or tiredness. In most cases the body is able to permanently recover after a short period of acute discomfort and illness."\n\nDepending on the agent causing the illness, the incubation period (time it takes the illness to show symptoms) can be anywhere from 1 - 6 hours, or in some rare cases weeks, months or years.\n\nWebMd offers an interesting look at the causes of Food Poisoning and discusses the symptoms further.

William Blake (November 28, 1757 – August 12, 1827) was an English poet, painter and printmaker. Though largely unrecognised during his lifetime, today Blake's work is almost universally considered that of a genius. According to Northrop Frye, who undertook a study of Blake's entire poetic opus, his prophetic poems form "what is in proportion to its merits the least read body of poetry in the [English] language". Others have praised Blake's visual artistry, in particular his engravings: "[Blake] is far and away the greatest artist Britain has ever produced" [1].\n\nHowever, viewing Blake's accomplishments in either poetry or in the visual arts separately is to do him a disservice; Blake himself saw these two disciplines as being cohorts in a unified spiritual endeavour, and they are inseparable in a proper appreciation of his work.

Would it be possible to interbreed a house cat with a large cat such as a lion or tiger? (see below)?

I don't believe this is possible. If I remember correctly from my undergraduate education, the big cats (Lions, Tigers, Leapards, etc.) are actually more closly related to domistaced dogs than domesticated cats. Of course we know that cats and dogs can't mate, so I'm sure the big cats couldnt' mate with their smaller cousins.

What type of physical training is important to prepare for officer training school in military?

Hi, Kelly!\n\nMost branches have their own requirements on physical training that they put out on their websites.  You can visit the recruiting websites namely the www.[military branch].com (e.g. www.airforce.com, www.navy.com) for more information.  They are the most accurate information you can acquired.  \n\nIn your question, you mentioned "officer training school" or (OTS) which is an   Air Force (AF) designation to train their potential officers.  If you are considering AF as your military career of choice, below is the URL to the OTS BOT (Basic Office Training) PFA (Physical Fitness Assessment) webpage:\nhttp://ots.afoats.af.mil/BOT/PCProgrom.htm\n\nThey also furnished a page on how to prepare yourself for the PFA:\nhttp://ots.afoats.af.mil/BOT/PFAenhance.htm\n\nWhile you are at their website, you will find other information that will be pertinent to you for your consideration as an AF officer.\n\n\nGood luck to you, OT (Officer Trainee) [last name] to be!

How do I raise my credit score fast and without paying some company to erase stuff off my report?

If someone asks you for money to increase your score, it is true that they are likely to be a thief, however, it is NOT TRUE that you cannot raise your score. Your credit score is primarily affected by a few things. First, any time that you make a late payment, even one that is only 30 days late, that will effect your score as much as 50 points the first month. It will climb slowly each month thereafter if you pay on time. So, don't ever pay late. Secondly, a large part of your score is determined by the ratio of credit used to credit available. If you have a $1,000 limit on your card, DO NOT leave a balance on that card of over $500. The lower your credit debt to credit limits, the better your score will be. Lastly, the longer you have credit, the better. Some people will cancel cards and accounts that are infrequently used. Don't do that! Leave them open. On the other hand, having too many credit accounts means you are a credit hog. Every time you apply for credit, your score will go down, for a few months.

If you are still looking, do this.\n\nMake a list of the most desirable traits that this person can have.  Do ten at least.  Order them so that the most important things are first, such that you wouldn't trade the last item on the list for the first.\n\nEvery night for a week, sit down, read your list, close your eyes and imagine what this person would be like in person.\n\nAfter the first week, just read your list periodically.\n\nYou do need to be out and meeting people for this to work; however, if you are already active, don't be surprised if your prince charming is someone you already know.\n\nThis worked for me and I had very strict requirements!


Is there ANY way to lessen my tax burden this year?

With the exception of the contribution of money to an IRA, no.  The year is already over and you cannot go back in time and change history.  You may not be able to deduct money contributed to an IRA depending on what your and any potential spouse's wages were.  Contributing to an IRA would only reduce your taxes proportionate to your tax rate.  So if you were in the 15% braket at $2000 contribution would at most reduce your taxes by $300.

I am obsessing about a cold sore, should i worry or am i being a hypochondriac?

Do not become orally intimate with someone's nether regions, (just in case you were thinking of doing that) with a cold sore. I was just at the doctor for the cold sores that I get on my lip and they informed me that yes in fact you can spread the virus that way. Don't obsess, stress can make them worse and cause them to come out more frequently. If you get them on a semi regular basis, go to a clinic or your regular doctor, they have an anti-viral pill that will help you greatly. Abreva and such only dry out the blisters, so does ear wax believe it or not. Most adults have the herpe virus in their system, but a smaller percentage have symptoms. Ice also breaks the virus down quicker once you have the blisters, and aspirin will reduce pain and take the swelling down. Don't ever break the blisters they are freakishly contagious. Other than that, relax, they're a pain in the ass, but unless you have a problem with your immune system, you'll live.


some experts say that page rank will non be important in a short future, that relevancy will be the most...?

Your page rank is generally synonymous to the relevance of keywords. Indeed it is and will continue to be a major factor for the relevance in the search results. \n\nTo raise your page rank, following is my answer:\nI could have gone on lenght on answering your query. At the first part, one need's to understand the meaning of page rank. You can study a detailed article on it at http://www.webworkshop.net/pagerank.html\n\nIn short, here's an example. There's an election and several candidates have stood up. Its natural that the guy with the most votes wins. Analogously, whenever a external page links to your website, it casts a vote for your website. So, when you search for a relevant keyword for your pages, the results come as per the no of links that you have collected.\n\nTo get more links, you can ask some of your friends who have website to put link to your website. The more the links, the higher is your rank in google results. An alternative is to start your own blog on 3-4 websites, and in each blog, put a link to your website. Indeed, if your site has quality content, mpressed visitors start linking you, specially the blogging community.\n\nAnother important part is that who links you. For example, if you get a link from a website which already has a high page rank, you automatically get a better rank. For example, if you get a link from microsoft.com or cnet.com, which have a highest page ranks, your rank shoots up automatically.\n\nGoogle rank is composed of many other factors, but the only factor it misses out is the popularity by visitors who go to the links directly. Yahoo does a good job by keeping that into account. If you carefully see the link that are seen in the Yahoo search results, a similar vote is also casted by clicking on the link in the search results. It could be possible that your website has huge no. of visitors who come through searches, but small number of links. Then its Yahoo rank would be high (more accurate), but google rank would be low. There have been many such interesting cases, so don't just consider google as your only target. Why google does not keep this 'click popularity' feature is because it takes a certain delay of time( for registering of vote on Yahoo and forwarding to the actual link), which Google does not want to take.\n\nThings You Should Never Do In Life:\nNever try to promote your site commercially from spamsters. Some of their sites are banned from google database. And if they give a link to your website, your page rank drops down drastically, and even might get removed from the search results. Also, do not link to their websites.\n\nThis is the solution to crux of your problem. You can read further on such search engine optimizations at the following sites :\n\nhttp://wolfram.org/writing/howto/3.html\nhttp://www.ssw.com.au/SSW/Standards/Rules/RulestoBetterGoogleRankings.aspx\nhttp://www.netmechanic.com/news/vol3/promo_no16.htm\nhttp://us.ecademy.com/node.php?id=58077\nhttp://www.paramountwebmasters.com/improve_my_rankings_on_google.php\nhttp://www.graphic-design.com/Web/increase_rank.html

What's the best way to clean a microwave?

ok here is what My Mom does... \n1Take a microwave safe water dish fill it with water,\n2add some baking soda\n3place container in microwave \n4set microwave on HIGH for 5 minutes\n5when finished, dip clean rag in water/baking soda solution and wipe microwave out\n6Most Important. DO NOT USE Household CLEANERS, as they would contaminate the food you are trying to cook. Baking Soda works as a deoderizer and as an abrasive, which help get any and all crud caked onto the sides and roof of your microwave

Is a black hair gene a mutated brown hair gene or vice-versa?

First off, the alleles that control hair and eye color are on more than one gene, so it isn't one specific gene, that control the color of hair or eyes. Brown hair is not a mutation. Allele wise you can either have light(blond) or dark hair, dark being dominant. As i stated it is a polygenic trait so varying gene configurations account for shades of hair.

who is the best all time colledge football team?

If you are looking for one single team from one single year it's hard to say because who really knows how a team from this decade would play against a team from another decade.  You can speculate all you want but there is no way to prove your point for sure.\n\nIf you are looking at teams over the course of several years I think you have to call the Trojans the best all time college football team, especially if they beat Texas convincingly on January 4. \n\nIt has been 44 years since Oklahoma's 47 game winning streak but some would probably argue for them-  at least relative to the level of play at the time.


If someone loves you how do you know it?  What about a long distance relationship?  Will they come to you?

Well I don't know about the long distance part... If someone abroad has fallen in love with you, unless you see each other in a short period of time, he'll forget about it. But if you're in constant contact with the person, well, love is something hard to explain and you will feel it when visiting you. You might receive more attention, interest from a guy, even if just by the way they look at you (cause some of'em might be shy). I'm blessed cause the person I fell in love with fell in love with me too, at the same time. While some guys might just go for it, others tend to go slow, to check of your reaction, to see if you feel the same thing, cause they don't wanna end up with broken dreams

on a 72pin memory stick how to determine how many megs it is?

You can Google the Manufacturer and code printed on the stick.  This looks out of date but may help...\n\nFor 72 pin modules you will see something like \n\n1 x 32-60 \n2 x 32-70 \n4 x 36-60 \n8 x 36-70 \n\nJust like the 30 pin modules, the first value represents the size, EXCEPT it only represents ¼ of the total memory size. Don’t ask why, just accept it. So the value of 4 represents a 16 MB (4 x 4) module. A value of 8 represents a 32 MB (4 x 8) module.\n\nThe second value, again just like the 30 pin, represents parity and the number of pins. 36 is used for parity and 32 for non-parity. You aren’t asking why again, are you?\n\nThe third value represents the speed, the same as the 30 pin.\n\nLast option is put the stick's in one at a time and let the BIOS figure it out on boot up.


A player uses a hockey stick to increase the speed of a 0.200kg hockey puck by 6 m/s in seconds.?

you left out the number of seconds.  I'll give you the formulas you need though:\n\n(a)  a=v/t  so 6 divided by the time you forgot to put.\n(b)  F=ma  so .2 times the acceleration you just solved for in (a)\n(c)  same as (b), the puck exerts an equal force on the stick, the puck just goes flying farther because it's smaller.


Is it ok to date a 16 year old guy if u r a 14 year old girl? y or y not.?

Good question. If you mean date as in two people doing things together and caring a lot about each other yes it's fine. If you mean date as in possible romance no. No because there might be some legal problems if the relationship doesn't work out.


WHAT IS THE SCIENTIFIC NAME FOR THE ENCEPHALITIS DISEASE?

acute viral encephalitis or aseptic encephalitis\n\nEncephalitis literally means an inflammation of the brain, but it usually refers to brain inflammation caused by a virus. It's a rare disease that only occurs in approximately 0.5 per 100,000 individuals - most commonly in children, the elderly, and people with weakened immune systems (i.e., those with HIV/AIDS or cancer).\n\nAlthough several thousand cases of encephalitis (also called acute viral encephalitis or aseptic encephalitis) are reported to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) every year, experts suspect that many more may go unreported because the symptoms are so mild.

How does the fact that there are so many other religions in the world show that Jesus is not the only way?

The number of religions does not indicate the number of ways to GOd..only that man has chosen different ways to reach God the best way he can. This does not mean they are successful or correct, just that a sincere effort was made.  To end this confusion Jesus came to make atonement for our sins, which opens the door of forgiveness, so that man can finally have the relationship with God he needs.


Why didn’t UK put Israel in Europe or America instead of Middle East????

It is not hating or loving them. It was looking much easier solution to put them back in their native place/origin than keeping them in racist western nations. But at the cost of Palestine people. Still Jews and Palestines could live amicably if no intimidation from other Arab nations.  But unfortunately neither Arabs nor Jews nor White Westerners are non-racists. They born up with hatred. It is not that easy to get rid of that drug.

Why did we evolve with two little nose holes instead of just one big hole to breathe through?

Glenn, I appologize if this comes off pretentious, but I would like to address part of your question. Unfortunately, it's not the part you probably want answered, but I feel it's the most important part of your question.\n\nWhen it comes to biology/evolution, to ask the question "why" is unanswerable. It's not the way things work when it comes to evolution. Things are the way the are now because of millions of years of selective pressures dictated all current living things into their current constructions.\n\nIn fact, the question "why" is nearly impossible to even consider when it comes to biology. Things are the way they are not for any particular reason. Maybe there were organisms that had developed a large "blowhole" like structure that was at the end of their nasal cavity. But for whatever reason, which may or may not had anything to do with the having two small nares or a bigger blowhole, environmental pressures allowed one organism to succeed and pass along their traits (including the nairs) and the other became extinct.\n\nWe can talk about structure's function that it provides, but that structure was in no way "designed" that way to provide that function. In fact that function may or may not have been essential to that organism surviving and passing along that trait. Some traits are simply along for the ride. In those cases it's other structures that provide increased fitness which allows certain organisms to outcompete and prosper through evolutionary time. \n\nIn the case of having two nares at the opening of the nasal cavity, I have no idea if this was a critical structure for the propogation of organisms on earth. I can make the guess, however, based on the fact that many animals do have similar structures, that this feature was present early on in evolutionary time. The fact that this trait has been maintained suggests one of two possibilites: either these stuctures do have some level of importance for organisms' fitness or 2) there is no real pressure otherwise that has forced a change from this trait that developed early on.\n\nIf there have been some insight gained which is true, I'm not aware. Hopefully someone who has that expertise will find your question and answer. In the meantime, I hope you will consider why the word "why" is not an appropriate place to start the path to finding out.

What is the correct useage of "i.e." or "e.g."?

"When you mean 'for example,' use e.g. It is an abbreviation for the Latin phrase exempli gratia. When you mean 'that is,' use 'i.e.' It is an abbreviation for the Latin phrase id est. Either can be used to clarify a preceding statement, the first by example, the second by restating the idea more clearly or expanding upon it. Because these uses are so similar, the two abbreviations are easily confused. If you just stick with good old English 'for example' and 'that is' you won’t give anyone a chance to sneer at you. If you insist on using the abbreviation, perhaps 'example given' will remind you to use 'e.g.,' while 'in effect' suggests 'I.E.'\n\n"Since e.g. indicates a partial list, it is redundant to add 'etc.' at the end of a list introduced by this abbreviation."\n- Paul Brians\n\nThis is also in Paul Brians' book "Common Errors in English Usage," which I highly recommend.


Aha!\n\nPerhaps it would be best to clue you into a direct exploration currently in progress:\n\nIn short, this is directly copied from the BBC :)  The exploration continues, and more evidance is being found, so good reading:\n\nAmerican researchers claim to have found convincing evidence that locates the site of the lost kingdom of Atlantis off the coast of Cyprus. \nThe team spent six days scanning the Mediterranean sea bed between Cyprus and Syria using sonar technology. \n\nThey believe they found evidence of massive, manmade structures beneath the ocean floor, including two straight, 2-km (1.25 mile) long walls on a hill. \n\nThey say their discoveries match accounts of the city written by Plato. \n\n\n'Greatest coincidence' \n\nTeam leader Robert Sarmast said the walls appear to be sited on a flat-topped hill where the temples of Atlantis once stood. \n\n \nMyth or reality? It is said to be a place of beauty and wealth \nHe intends to use the sonar data to make a three-dimensional computer image of the site, 1.5km below sea level, before returning for further research. \n\n\n"The hill, as a whole, basically looks like a walled, hillside territory and this hillside territory matches Plato's description of the Acropolis hill with perfect precision," he said. \n\n"Even the dimensions are exactly perfect, so if all these things are coincidental, I mean, we have the world's greatest coincidence going on." \n\nHowever, Mr Sarmast and his team are not alone in believing they have found the lost city of Atlantis. \n\n \nSonar technology was used to survey the sea bed off Cyprus \nOther researchers have placed it off the coast of Spain, Cuba and the south west of England, as well as under the South China Sea. \n\nThe story of Atlantis, a fabled utopia destroyed in ancient times, has captured the imagination of scholars ever since it was first described by the philosopher Plato. \n\nWriting more than 2,000 years ago, he depicted a land of fabulous wealth, advanced civilisation and natural beauty.

why do we have to use money/who made it?

You don't strictly have to use money; you could barter for goods and services, but I bet you would not do too well under that system. The main reason money developed is to facilitate trade. By creating a common medium of exchange and valuing goods, money allows people all around the world to do their jobs and receive a wide variety of goods and services in return. Formerly, people specialized in one or two trades, say carpentry or food production. In such a system, if you want/need a product, but the person who produces it does not want the product you make, you are out of luck. In comes money. With money, since everyone is aware of its value, you can give money to the person you want something from, earned from your sales to people who do want the product you make. See the sources for some more info.\n\nEdit: Left out who made it... it's been around since before writing, in various forms. It has been a cornerstone of every civilization.


Bible version in rap/hip-hop language? I saw a guy on TV a while ago promoting it; can't remember the name.

Do you mean the Black Bible Chronicles?  It's not the whole bible, just the first five books of the old testament and the four gospels (in two volumes).\n\nBlack Bible Chronicles: From Genesis to the Promised Land/Book One\n\nRappin' With Jesus: The Good News According to the Four Brothers (The Black Bible Chronicles Book Two)\n\nAlso available in audio.\n\nREVIEWS\n\nFrom Library Journal\nBlack Bible Chronicles is an abridged audio edition of the best-selling book of the same title (American Family, 1993) that paraphrases the first five books of the Old Testament in black vernacular. It is a combination of urban street talk and 1990s street slang. Interpreter P.K. McCary's attempt "to make the Bible more relevant and meaningful and to empower today's kids with one of the greatest messages on earth" is successful on all fronts. Acclaimed actor Ben Vereen reads wonderfully, and his captivating rendition-that of a black preacher employing a staccato rap rhythm-is appropriate and entertaining. Vereen remarks that "this interpretation gives our youth a way to relate to God." Recommended for public libraries and academic libraries with collections in African American studies.\nRavonne A. Green, Emmanuel Coll. Lib., Franklin Springs, Ga.\nCopyright 1994 Reed Business Information, Inc\n\nFrom Booklist\nThis second volume in the Black Bible Chronicles series is part of the publisher's effort to "bring the Word of God to our younger generation in contemporary language." Here, the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John have been changed into black vernacular. A quote from Matthew is a good example of the translation process: "Jesus was born in a little town called Bethlehem 'round the time this dude named Herod was king. Three wise brothers heard 'bout the little brother's birth, too, 'cuz it had been said a really righteous King of the Jews would be born. And King Herod was a bit upset about what he was hearing, especially when he considered himself the only king!" Depending on clientele, a useful addition to the religion collection. Brad Hooper


What is the location of Cozumel, Mexico?

"Cozumel (Maya: Island of the Swallows) is an island off the eastern coast of Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula, opposite Playa del Carmen. It is one of the eight municipalities (municipios) of the state of Quintana Roo. Cozumel is a popular tourist destination renowned for its scuba diving. The main town on the island is San Miguel.\n\nThe island is about 48 km (30 miles) north-south and 16 km (10 miles) east-west, and is the largest island of Mexico. It is about 20 km (12 miles) from the mainland, and some 60 km (36 miles) south of Cancún."

What do you think about racial profiling? wrong or justified?

In most instances, what is generally considered as profiling by law enforcement is wrong.  \n\nThe biggest problem I have with it is: if you put any one group under a microscope, you will catch more of the members of that group doing things, thus "verifying" your profile and removing resources from pursuing other groups.\n\nMany people say things like, "if I haven't done anything wrong I don't care if they need to search/stop me to catch the bad guys."\n\nThe problem with that thinking is it ignores the realities of the impact and embarrassment felt by those stopped/searched/scrutinized, and the chances of someone being wrongly accused of things, which does happen.  Remember Richard Jewell?

when you get on your computer uninstall the norton and install Norton AntiVirus 2005 and it should stop if it don't stop then you will have to redo your computer because it has a problom with it


first, you get a government grant. Then you figure out all the physics issues with the underlying technology. Finally, you realize that quantum computing is still just a dream.\n\nSeriously though, we have not yet figured out the underlying physics of how to get a quantum computer to work. Once we do, it'll still be years before we can make that technology mass-producable. At this point in time, I think we'd be lucky to see quantum computers being as common as the computers we have today within our lifetime.

Why is it that women are chastized repeatedly in bible?

It's because back then civilization saw women as inferior and merely property pieces of the men they married. You can see this through just about any literature up until about the 19th century. Men saw themselves as superior to women, and this is of course reflected in the bible.

Is our current financial system of Fed Reserve and debt-based money illegal and unconstitutional and corrupt?

The Fed's reserve requirement does not actually create money. Moreover, if you accept your arguments, the Fed is actually limiting the creation of money by requiring banks to keep more money in reserve than they otherwise would. The key problem with your argument is that the Constitution gives Congress the power to "coin money," which lending does not do. Lending allows people to use other people's money for a time. The money they are borrowing was coined by act of Congress, and the loan is repaid using money coined by act of Congress. The only money "created" is on paper.\n\nEdit: First, "to coin money" has a clear, physical meaning. There is no need to expand it into the more general sense of "to create money." Second, the framers of the Constitution clearly did not mean to eliminate the loan system which had been developing in America since long before even the Revolution, much less the Constitution, and continued even more strongly afterward. Third, the Federal Reserve Bank was created by act of Congress, and Congress observes and directs its governance, so the "creation of money" because of the Fed is through the direction of Congress, much like the physical coinage of money is not actually performed by Congress, but directed by Congress through the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. Finally, the "money" created by lending is not actually usable money. When person A lends $100,000 to person B, person A cannot use that money and has no money, only a promise of money in the future. $100,000 is still all the money that exists from the transaction.


I am a musicologist and teach in the Bluegrass Program at East TN State University in Johnson City, TN.I am also potterfan's dad. I would like to answer this as an oldtime blues and rockabilly fan.Who could pick for sure, and both of these gentlemen had such an enfluence on rock and pop music, in their own right. Little Richard was one of the pioneers who started it all, but he was only using a format of a more older and archaic style of blues, which he probably was quite familiar with. Jerry Lee Lewis was born and raised in a southern area where both black and white musical influences were prevalent on each other. The blues was the common denominator for both artists,and when you boil it all down, their music was great fun for everyone.


What's the best remedy to get rid of migraine?

Codeine.\nSome claim Butterburr extract can help. It is available at the health food store. But, I don't find it or other remedies strong enough for Migraines. There are some products in health food stores that can lessen the severity. I find that codeine helps more than anything, I have ever used. You must get a prescription in the U.S. for Fioricet to obtain codeine pills. But it is available, over-the-counter in any pharmacy, in many countries. In England, there are about 10 products, such as "Migraleve", available in a pharmacy with codeine. There are many products on ebay, sometimes they even work, but watch out most are junk.

Pfizer, the manufacturer, says that there is no connection, but they have added a warning about rare instances of vision loss.\n\nI suspect that there is a small increased risk of vision loss, and that it is connected to some other risk factors that aren't necessarily identified yet. But, I am not a physician, and like everything medical, talk with your physician and a pharmacist about this issue.


Ok, I thought you were pretty cool, until I came up to this question.  What's up with that??  I think, yes, you are the only one annoyed by it.  Well, maybe there are two or three like you.  Anyway, I'm one of those people that parks front end out.  Why, you ask?  Because, it's easier.  That's why you see lots of pickup trucks and long cars parking that way.  When you back out of a parking space, you don't have enough space, so you backup, turn your wheel, then move forward, then backup again, then you can get out.  Ok, so maybe there is enough space, but it just seems easier, and you can avoid accidents.  Also, it has to do with the car or trucks turn radius.  Pick up trucks have a horrible turn radius compared to a car.  Also, you see the back end of your car or truck better than you see the front.  The way vehicles are made today, you don't see the bumper. It's easier to backup into the parking space, and when you leave, you just put it in drive and go.  Just my opinion.


i am 19 m ,how can i bulid body mass and muscle at home without going to gym?

Do a lot of pushups, your hands on the floor, your legs on some top surface (sit, table -- the higher the better and gives more impact).\nAlso, there are a lot of relatively compact gym devices size for home use, and many of them are pretty good, so no compromise in quality and results. \nActually, a lot of guys "do gym" at home, especially during cold seasons.
