Well it is supposed to be a constant that characterizes the rate of expansion of the universe.  Theoretically, it should be a constant, but there has been quite a bit of debate as to what the actual value should be.  It ranges between 50 and 100 depending on how you approach measuring it.\n\nThe means of measuring it vary greatly, thus it can be difficult to get a real apples to apples comparison and sort out who has the more accurate result.

Why did the Catholic church try to hide and destroy so many books of the Bible?

because the Catholic church used the bible to control the masses. If the people actually read the bible, they would have learned that the church was twisting the scriptures and the Catholic church would have lost its stronghold. To think, the catholic church didnt just burn bibles, they burned people alive! just for having one in their posession. Nowadays, the catholic church tends to not refer to the bible, preferring to teach dogma, this way they can say whatever they want and if you are catholic you have to believe it because according to their teachings they "conveniently" have the authority granted to them to teach whatever they want regardless of whether it agrees with scripture and it is as though it was stated by God himself. Can you believe the arrogence?!


Have atoms or molecules ever been actually seen or photographed?

It is actually not possible to photograph, or "see" an atom. This is because they are to small for light to bounce off of, making them impossible to "see".\nThere are electron microscope pictures of atoms, but they are made by running electricity through something, feeding the data into a computer, then the computer shows an image of what the atoms would look like. (it's a little more complicated than that, but very hard to explain)

When do pregnant women begin to lactate?

The nurse is right... everyone is different. The first few days after the baby is born you will probably just give colostrum - the premilk that's full of all antibodies etc. Then about day 5 or so your milk should come in. (You'll know because you'll feel like you should be walking around with a bunch of $ in your g-string -LOL) Good Luck and Congrats on the baby news!


What are the behavioral precedents or theories of the precursors of “liberal” versus “conservative”?

Liberals favor higher taxation for the rich and for corporations, lower taxes for the poor, and the nationalization of healthcare, education, environment, increased involvement in state governments, and regulation of certain individual rights. Conservatives favor equal taxation across the board and fewer government controls in the economy, state governments, and little or no regulation on people's everyday lives.

Carbon is "special" for organic chemistry because of its ability to form molecules of arbitrary numbers of carbon atoms and other elements, primarily hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen. Carbon can have up to four single bonds. Besides, it can have double or triple bonds, allowing for even more variations than its heavier homologue Silicon.\n\nOne of my old chemistry professors gave three "fundamental theorems" for organic chemistry:\n\n- Carbon always has four bonds\n- Nucleophile will react with electrophile (slightly  negative ends with slightly positive ones)\n- Whenever the opportunity to form a ring of five or six atoms offers itself during a reaction, it will be taken.\n\nBetter than 95% of organic chemistry can be deduced using these rules.

a list of what can cause space pollution?

Old satellites contribute a lot to the pollution around our planet. A snippet from the article below,\n\nAlthough penetration of space by people and their machines is but a few decades old, already the space above the Earth has become contaminated. There are now 110,000 man-made objects larger than a half-inch orbiting in the space above the Earth, and the situation has gotten so serious that NASA 'now replaces pitted orbiter windows after most flights' of space shuttles, notes a 1987 US National Research Council report that warns of potentially catastrophic collisions with space debris. The amount of 'space junk' has doubled since 1990 and now poses 'a navigational hazard,' says Norwegian space specialist Erik Tandberg. The US and Norway are planning a giant radar station to be called Globus II in Norway's Arctic specifically to better monitor orbiting debris.\n\n'A total of over 3,000 tons of space debris surrounds the Earth today,' says Dr. Alexey Yablokov, a noted biologist and president of the Centre for Russian Environmental Policy. The 'rapid accumulation of debris' could 'complicate the further development of astronautics since there would be a direct threat of collision with debris fragments which travel at very high altitudes,' says Dr. Yablokov.\n\nAmong the junk now overhead are 37 nuclear-powered satellites put in space by the US and former Soviet Union. The operation of the satellites is over but the radioactive fuel in them is still hot and lethal and they'll be falling back to Earth in the centuries ahead.

Is it possible for real estate property owned by a corporation to be sold without shareholders approval?

Think about it...if Microsoft needed all the shareholders' approval before they completed a transaction, business would come to a halt. That's why we have the Board of Directors for some major decisions. However, there are some more important decisions that are put to the shareholders. For example, whether or not to keep an auditing firm....approve a retirement or stock option plan.

why do ants stop when they face each other suddenly while wandering?

ants navigate and communicate largely by sense of smell.  they leave behind chemical markers that signify certain things - "food this way" or "danger" or whatever.  (this can be tested by you!  if you find an ant trail, put down a piece of paper and the ants will be lost!  eventually they'll make a new trail across the paper - which you can then move and manipulate where they go.)  \n\nthe antennae on their heads are their smell organs - so when they meet, the two ants communicate by smelling each other - kinda like dogs.

who first theorized that the human body was made up cells?

In 1824, Rene Dutrochet discovered that "the cell is the fundamental element in the structure of living bodies, forming both animals and plants through juxtaposition." However, the first sightings of the internal action of the cell were made by Robert Brown. In Berlin, Johannes Muller created connections between biology and medicine, prompting the connective thinking of his students, such as those of Theodore Schwann. Schwann created the term "cell theory" and declared that plants consisted of cells. This declaration was made after that of Matthias Schlieden's (1804 - 1881) that animals are composed of cells.\n\nLeeuwenhoek was first to describe cells and coined the word more than 100 years before, but he didn't really make the leap to how fundamental the unit was.

Is it illegal for an employer to pay you only for scheduled hours, even if you clock in early?

No, they owe you nothing. Unless you are working for a set salary, your employer has the absolute right to set your standard work hours. If you clock in early, without being directed by an authorized supervisor to do so, then you are, in effect, establishing your own work hours and schedule. Likewise, if you work more than 8 hours, they would be mandated under federal law to pay for the overtime, which they might not have in their budget. The FLSA (Fair Labor Standards Act) is very clear about such things. Yes, you can be  "docked" (penalized with loss of pay) for clocking in late, but you're not allowed to sign in to work even a minute before your scheduled starting time. I really wish it were not this way, but imagine what would happen if this were allowed to happen? You clock in 10 minutes before your shift, but I clock in an hour beforehand. Where does a manager draw the line at the definition of "early for work"? To be fair to all, they had to make this an absolute starting time. Sorry! If you want to clock in early, see your manager about adjusting your shift starting time.

Does the bailiff observe jury deliberations amd make sure juors only consider legally relevant evidence.?

No one but a juror may be in the jury deliberation room. This is why it is so important that the judge determine what evidence is admissible before the trial begins. If a juror believes other jurors are considering irrelevant evidence, the juror should inform the judge, who would instruct them of their consitutional responsibility and so forth. If a judge believes a jury did not consider the evidence properly, he/she can vacate the verdict, which is very rarely done, for obvious reasons.

How come you people keep on asking if God is real or not!?

What the question should be is why is it some people who believe in GOD are so judgemental over others beliefs? Some folks are simply trying to find thier own path, and may be eclectic. He may be real to you, he is not real to every one. Nothing wrong with either ideology, just wish there was a way for every one to understand that.


He wants to be with me but isn't in love with me?

Girl,\nI am in a similar situation. You have to decide if he is "using" you as a safety net of sorts or just settling until something better comes along. Also, because I do not know the entire situation, you have to ask your self if he could also be using you for monetary gains, etc.  No matter the situation, if you are not 100% happy, you should walk. You are more important and your happiness is too.

Is it true that if we're not careful, America will soon become a communist country?

"America" is not a country, it's a continent formed by three sub-continents (north, central and south america).\n\nNow about the question, since it's about the USA... Marx's wrote his works more than 100 years ago, with Germany in mind (the fact that Russia was the place where the revolution took place and was successful is still a high topic among historians) --by then, the USA was an underdeveloped country, without a big proletarian base or an industrial/urban developed production system, which was the requested condition for the revolution (again, Russia was a contradiction to this request). Therefore, you cannot apply Marx's theory 'directly' to a country today. The capitalist system has developed internal restraints and "decompressing" mechanisms that ensure that, even when the inequality and the poverty or the income distribution are ignominious, the system is not under danger of disruption.\n\nCapitalism, as Marx said, might have the seed of self destruction, but it also has selfpreservation mechanisms (corporations, NGOs, formal democracy --even in non-democratic countries--). Also, it offers what some people might call a 'messianic' or 'religious' promise: the best of the worlds is here, on earth and while you are alive, and you need money and success to attain it (I am talking about the protestant capitalism, not the catholic one, which came later): therefore, the success of capitalism is guaranteed by the fact that the lower classes want to become middle class, and middle class wants to become high class. This ensures all of them, especially the middle class, is ultra-conservative, fighting to keep the status-quo, so they can (someday) be high-class and enjoy what the system promises (of course, the status-quo needs to be based on inequality, so you have classes and people fight to escalate in the social chain).\n\nwhat do I know?...

Say thanks, and if you need to take it back, ask them if they got a gift receipt.  If they have one, then politely explain to them that you'd really like a napster subscription better, and so you'd like to exchange it.  It's not a big deal unless you make it one.

how is the american dream in the 1920's different then the american dream in 2005?

People are more greedy nowadays, and many have less of a work ethic. The American Dream isn't different, it's the things involved with the American Dream. Back then, the American Dream was too pretty much work hard and earn yourself a good living. Nowadays many people have a less work ethic, and the American Dream isn't too hard to achieve if you have some kind of special talent (Sports, music, etc.) You can also achieve the American Dream nowadays by becoming a good counterfeiter or becoming one of the main men in the drug trade. People have developed less of a work ethic and it shows. Thats how.

why is frequent disconnections while catting onyahoo?

Connection is based on you ISP provider.  Do you have a Wireless access?  You might be getting interfered with.  If its a dialup  then those systems are inherantly slow.  Might I suggest you do a ping test to actually see if you are having problems connecting to the net.  Go under your start menu right click on that.  Go to the run.  Doubleclick that.  When The run box comes up type in cmd <enter> When the next box comes up type in IPCONFIG <enter> This will give you your IP address for your Computer. Then type in ping www.yahoo.com -t\nthis will tell you if you have a good connection by the packets you recieve and the time to receive them.  If you want to get out of this just type  <ctrl> c  That will get you back to beginning.

Why there would be no need for Allah to appoint anyother prophet after Mohammad?

Because the Prophet Mohammed was Allah's Messenger of His Holy Word, the last of Allah's chosen prophets as cited in the Holy Qu'Ran.  The Prophet Mohammmed was Allah's  spiritually-perfect embodiment as Holy Messenger to faithfully deliver His Word through the Holy Q'uRan to over 1.2 billion adherents to Islam worldwide.


When receiving a gift of appreciation for services rendered, do you need to send a thank you note?

There gift is a thank you.  So you would be saying thank you for the thank you.  Nah\n\nJust a verbal.


In Matthew, the only book of the Bible  where they are mentioned, there number is not specified. Three gifts are mentioned and so, the assumption was, that there were three wise men. However, this is clearly not logically necessary. \n\nThere is some good information in the Wikipedia which says that tradition asserts their names to be: Casper, Melchior and Balthazar.


how can i pass proxy filteration in internet?

There are only two ways around that, I think.\nFirst, is not to connect behind a proxy, but rather directly to a server, or have your own server. This possibility is becoming easier every day.\nSecond, to have control over that proxy, if you are connected behind it. But of course, that really depends on the circumstances, and on who actually owns the proxy and the server above it.

I'm in the Satellite TV and Internet business and the outsourcing done by the satellite companies is not working out.  My customers who call for support can not get it done unless they are speaking to an american technician, otherwise I am hearing constantly that they are on the phone for long periods of time with people who are apparently only marginally trained to deal with problems.  So outsourcing is not working out in my experience and is only irritating the people who it's supposed to help.\n\nIt also takes away jobs from Americans who developed , and support many of these companies.


how much do nascar drivers make even the bad drivers?

It is really unknown because unlike many sports, NASCAR and it's teams do not release contract information. Recently a couple of lawsuits made a few drivers contracts public information. These contracts gave the driver a base salary, then incentives. I believe it was Kasey Kahne's contract where he got a base of $3 million, and if he won he would get 45% of the the teams winnings, 2-5th he'd get 40%, 6-10 he'd get 30% and anyhting else was 25%. There were other bonuses for winning big races like the Daytona 500 and the Championship. It is widely thought that even on a bad team that if you are signed and scheduled to compete for a full season the least base you will make is $1 million.

Robert Williams is an English pop singer. Williams' early pop career started with the hit boy band Take That. The band was formed in 1990 and proved to be highly successful, with 8 UK Number 1 singles to their credit. \n\nOut of all the members of Take That, Robbie Williams never really seemed to fit in. Roguishly handsome where his bandmates were merely cute, Williams was tougher and sexier than the rest, which made him more distinctive. He also fought regularly with the other members and their management, primarily because he was occasionally adverse to being so heavily packaged. So it didn't come as a surprise that he was the first to leave the band, departing early in the summer of 1995 to pursue a solo career; by some accounts, he was fired from the group. Although he was the first out of the gate, it took Williams awhile to get started.\n\n Williams released his first solo album, Life Thru a Lens, in 1997. The album became a big hit in Britain, prompting his second, I've Been Expecting You, in 1998. The Ego Has Landed, a U.S.-only compilation designed for breaking Williams to American audiences, was released stateside in the spring of 1999. Sing When You're Winning followed in late 2000, gaining success with the video hit "Rock DJ," while a big-band album of standards (Swing When You're Winning) appeared a year later. During 2002, Williams celebrated an enormous new contract with EMI (rumored to be upward of 80 million dollars), but suffered the loss of his longtime production partner, Guy Chambers. Escapology, the fifth Robbie Williams album (and the last including Chambers' input), sold millions of copies in Europe, though it failed to persuade American audiences. As a result, the 2003 concert record Live at Knebworth wasn't released in the States.\n\nIn 2002, the UK public voted Williams to be on the BBC's list of the 100 Greatest Britons (at number 77). He was also voted 17th in Channel 4's 100 Worst Britons poll.\n\n\nFor more information on him, please refer to the following links :\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robbie_Williams\nhttp://www.google.com/musica?aid=KIL_YZIrTEP&oi=musicr\n\nList of all 182 songs and lyrics :\nhttp://robbie-williams.lyrics-songs.com/ \n\nTo Watch his videos:\nhttp://www.mtv.com/music/artist/williams_robbie/artist.jhtml

What should I do about a b/f who doesnt discpline his 11yr old daughter AT ALL? I heard her refer 2 me as HOE!

you should get a good belt and invite her over and give her a good spanking.Enure no one can hear the trashing.\n\nEvery little girl needs discipline and that little brat is no different. \n\nI think first her father can not tolorate such behaviour not stopping her is effectively agreeing with her. Your boyfriend is a big part of this problem. Let him know you are very hurt by this and ask him to reprimand her when she cross the line.\n\nYou should try to build a good relationship with the brat,but don't become a friend you are an adult and you demand respect\n\nyou should also understand that the brat is jealous of you stealing her dad or replacing her mom, that hurts bad. I guess you should allow you to spend time with her talk to the brat and see how she feels, let the brat open up to you, you are not kissing ass but staking a mature and correct approach to the problem\n\nthis might tkae time so be paitent,however if you see that you are not making any progress and things are getting worst then you should allow her to spend time with her dad alone and have a miniture relationship wit the brat.\n\nyou should not be surprised by the use of the worrd "HOE" as she gets older into a teenage years you can expect bigger and nastier brawls right in your face.

what differnce has the web and internet?

The Internet is the infrastructure of the overall network, i.e. the nuts and the bolts.  Basically it amounts to the physical hardware, software, cabling, protocols, etc. required for running the network.  The Web is one application which is an overlay over the Internet.  Other applications are email, file transfer, remote login, file sharing (P2P), audio-video streaming, VoIP, etc.


why do people have to learn algebra? you have no use for it.?

While it first came to the attention of most of America by way of the December 18, 1997 episode of Seinfeld, the celebration of a holiday called Festivus is part of human history throughout the ages, most notably in ancient Rome, nineteenth-century California, and upstate New York in the 1960s.\n\nBy December 2004, when Allen Salkin's article about Festivus as a real holiday appeared in the New York Times, thousands of people around the world were celebrating Festivus with parties, grievance-airing, pole-erecting, beer-brewing and the invention of new Festivus rituals.\n\nFestivus is a non-denominational holiday that has no required rituals or totems, but many celebrants find the pole, the Airing of Grievances and the Feats of Strength essential, especially those Festivus-friendly folk who adhere to the Seinfeld orthodoxy.\n\nFestivus Pole\n\nAn unadorned length of lusterless metal or something that looks like metal, this central totemic element of Festivus can be mighty or meek. Some poles are pinky-short and some tetherball-tall. Erected on a lawn, balanced in a coffee can near a photocopier, stuck in a pail of rocks in the living room or suspended from fishing line on the front porch. the pole symbolizes nothing.\n\nThe Airing of Grievances\n\nLike everything else Festivus, the AOG has evolved some wild variations, but the core of it remains lashing into others and the world about how they have been disappointments. This usually brings participants into a circle of sorts in which each takes turns excoriating friends, enemies, relatives, acquaintances and strangers. When all who care to have taken a turn griping, there is no required hugging or making up.\n\nFeats of Strength\n\nThe FOS generally follows the AOG. Under the Seinfeld orthodoxy, Festivus is not over until the head of the household is wrestled to the floor and pinned. While there is an undeniable classic elegance to this, real world Festivus practitioners have developed other cathartic methods of discharging pent-up energy against one's fellows, including thumb wrestling and washer tossing.


238,855 miles give or take a couple miles (seriously, it varies)\n\nI used Frink to look it up.  Frink is an incredibly handy calculation tool on the web.\n\n\nWikipedia says the moon is an average distance of 238,857 miles from the earth. I just checked with it to verify the accuracy of Frink, which looks pretty good.\n\nNeither the moon nor the Earth are perfectly round.  In fact, the Earth is kind of pear-shaped and has some rather high mountain ranges on its surface.\n\nAfter you are done doing serious analysis of the moon you should play around with Frink; it is pretty amazing and has built-in constants defined in it for all kinds of measurements having to do with the earth and moon. It also makes it very easy to convert values to different units of measurement.

Does the US embassy in Manila have the laziest employees of any US embassy in the world?

I think the problem is both the employees and the the people who go there. Before you go to the embassy you have to call them for an appointment schedule. And for example they tell you that your schedule will be on December blah blah blah on 10AM, so you go there 10 mins before 10AM only to find out that the people did not follow the schedule and came in earlier. And you have to wait in line. The embassy is tolerating the people who came ahead of their schedule. When it should not be, its not a first-come-first-serve basis, there is a freaking schedule!! and nobody seems to follow this.

What is the technical difference between a vlog and a vodcast?

A vlog is a weblog which uses video as its primary presentation format. It is primarily a medium for distributing video content. Vlog posts are usually accompanied by text, image, and additional meta data to provide a context or overview for the video. Vlogs or videoblogs are created by vloggers or videobloggers, while the act itself is referred to as vlogging or videoblogging. \n\nVODcast is an emerging term derived from the audio "podcast" and video.\n\nThey are essentially the same thing; although, vodcasts are distributed just like podcasts distributed.

How does Physical Education contributes to, Physical Social & Economial development of a country?

Physical Education provides physical benefits because of the exercise involved.  In addition, students learn the importance of nutrition and fitness.  Social skills are developed through lessons that involve teamwork, cooperation, and confidence building.  Finally, the economy can improve because of the added health benefits of an active community.  Without activity, individuals will become obese, which results in heart disease and diabetes, as well as many other obesity-related conditions.  This takes a toll on healthcare.  With a healthy community, millions of dollars will be saved.

How do you get a loved one off meth. weve tried everything?

For those that believe that the Big Bang created the universe, what existed before the Big Bang?

Several of the previous answers have some really good points.  The truth is we don't have the mental capabilities yet to understand the size and extent of the universe, or even the amount of time it's been here.  So it's at best a weak guess as to what was here before, if there was a before, but there has to be a before, at least in our own ways of thinking.  It would probably take a few Einstien's to figure these things out. What I mean by that is someone who could think as far ahead in our time as he did in his time.\n\nThen, unfortunately, as has happened in every culture since they started looking at the moon, we come up with a God to explain what we can't explain and then we have wars and fights and judgement on others who don't accept this God.  I guess we should go back to beheading people who try to figure things out instead of closing their mind and blaming it on God.


Should Mike Piazza be signed by the minnesota twins or the yankees?

The Yankees could sign him if they wanted him, while the Twins should sign him because they need a bat..but wait, don't forget about the Anaheim Angels.  They have or atleast had expressed interest in him.  And now that Konerko stayed in Chicago and Manny is probably staying in Boston, I think they Halos would make him their primary target.  The fact that Mike himself has stated in the past that he would like to come back to the West Coast and play for the Angels doesnt hurt.  We'll just have to wait and find out how everything turns out.

A fool and his money will soon be parted. why, because its more of a world market and not only that its an auction that makes some difference.\n\nYou know if its right or wrong.\n\nI don't necessarily think its right though either....but I am not going to judge you....if you are making 6 times what you paid for it,and you run across the item alot....I am just wondering why everyone else isn't doing it? maybe thats a rare example on your part,and maybe as I said as well it is rare in the country that bought it....I am just glad it wasn't me...because I would be pretty upset....I mean reverse roles here,and put yourself in the buyers shoes....even if its an auction....which I dislike anyway....because that in itself opens many doors for abuse in and of itself.


Is time continuous or discreet? Can we divide time into ever smaller units or is there a smallest time unit?

The normal answer, and the one which all conventional theories of physics are based on is that time is modelled as a real number.  In relativity theory intervals of time are defined as a kind of generalised distance between two points in a 4-dimensional geometry.  This 4-dimensional geometry (aka space-time) is defined using real numbers, resulting in distances always being real numbers, and so there ends up being no smallest distance.\n\nQuantum mechanics and quantum electrodynamics have the same continuum underlying space and time, but the complication is that whilst time is continuous it is not possible to _measure_ time scales less than a certain amount.  But still, the equations of the theory are still written in terms of differentIAL (c.f. difference) equations and are thus fundamentally continuous.\n\nThe impossibility of measuring suficiently small time scales has led _some_ theorists to consider the possibility that spacetime is actually a lattice of discrete points, thus making space and time fundamentally quantised.  It has the advantage that if you make the additional assumption that the overall size of the universe is finite then integrals over the whole of space (which might not converge) end up being just finite sums, which always converge.  Still, the theory has a long way to go simply to catch up with present-day theories, and is certainly not mainstream theoretical physics.


How can I develop my own computer language?

I'd say you ought to start by defining a grammar for your language. I know that was where we started in my Master's level compiler class. You might also try publishing some info about your ideas on a website (Geocities would provide free hosting) and try to solicit comments. Posting the URL on forums (like this one) might attract some feedback. I've never done something like that before, but I think that's what I'd try.

do actors in commercials have to be customers of the producte they are advertising?

No, not at all!\n\nThey dont have to be the customers of the product legally.\nhowever, otherwise it would be very good and look good and if the actor is doing that after he has used it for some time. \n\nBut then do you really think that is the case.\n\nAdvertising is just the medium that uses the popularity of a celebrity to connect the consumer to the product, the connection comes out of the good will of the celebrity created elsewhere. \n\nHowever, this does not point to an underlying conflict related to ethics.\n\nMany celebrities have consciously said no to promotions that they thought were against their ethics, principles, or the image among the public. \n\nThis kind of self-regualtion is good and sets good examples.

My internet Explorer lost an exe command. Can I download a version of it that will give me the command.?

Are you saying that I.E. can't "Run" and exe downloaded from the inet?  If so, well, good.  This protects you from viruses.  There is a possibility a virus protector you installed lately or updated lately caused this to happen.  It's better to save the file and run it from the hard drive anyway.\n\nIf you are looking to replace I.E. try Firefox.  With add ons and other stuff, Firefox outdoes I.E. in many ways.


The place which advertises the most is the International Star Registry (linked below), but frankly you are better off spending your money on something else. The "name" that you give the star will not have any real legal or scientific meaning, so essentially you are paying a lot of money for just a slip of paper. \n\nNote this disclaimer from the small print on their site: "International Star Registry star naming is not recognized by the scientific community. \nYour star’s name is reserved in International Star Registry records only." In other words, they publish a book with the names that their customers have paid for, but frankly anyone could publish a book with any list of names in it. It has no real meaning.\n\nNaming stars is basically a scam.

But sincerely speaking, points are not that important. To become the Yahoo Prom Queen, you need to give quality answers from your knowledge and a little help of search engines. Giving good solutions will earn you respect, which is even bigger than the points we are trying to collect. Hope you have a fun  time, side by side sharing knowledge.\n\nAs far as points are concerned, an earlier answer by my friend Jonny Quest details how to get the points the fastest.

How do you determine the authenticity of a vintage Wilson 8802 golf putter (ie grip, shaft, head)?

Man that is a real tough one. The 8802 was produced for so many years and the design basically did not change. \n\nI think I'm fairly certain when I tell you this though. No 8802 is worth a whole lot. This is due to the fact that Wilson made a putter prior to the 8802 that is collectible. \n\nThis is just from my head, but I'm almost positive the 8813 is the collectible Wilson putter. I don't know how to identify that putter either, but I do know they can be worth in the hundreds in good condition. \n\nYou can search on ebay and see what you can find out as far a prices go.

What are  the best places in UK or USA to study Law?

Well of course rating schools is somewhat arbitrary. I don't know about schools in the UK, but there are a couple of sources of information on ratings of US law schools. Best in many US ratings combines ratings of reputation (which changes slowly), alumni support, the amount of money in the endowment, etc. Remember that part of the success for any individual in school is how well they "fit" with the culture, expectations, setting and values of the law school. So, just looking at ratings is not enough to choose a law school (or any school, for that matter).\n\nCheck out the US News and World Report Top 100 law schools: http://www.usnews.com/usnews/edu/grad/rankings/law/brief/lawrank_brief.php\n\nGetting into US law schools:\nwww.campusaccess.com/campus_web/educ/e4grad_laus.htm\n\nJurist Links to US Law Schools:\nhttp://jurist.law.pitt.edu/lawschools/\n\nThe Canadian's Guide to US Law Schools and the Practice of Law:\nhttp://www.geocities.com/superius4317/\n\nThere is lots of information to look at on these links. Good luck! Hope this is helpful!

What's going to finally become of Saddam Hussein?

Well I know that a lot of people would like to see him executed... \n But I say to let him rot in jail or take his own life. Killing him is to step down to his level.

The flame will heat the air molecules above it.These gas particles being free to move in any direction will move in the direction which has least opposition to it's motion .This is because the air above the gas has a lower density and hence is sparcer than the air below it .also the flame particles have a higher energy (due to their temperature)they tend to stay as far away from each other as possible .This creates a lower density of air around the flame .This low density sir will be pushed up by the surrounding air of higher density due to buoyant forces.Due to both these regions the flame has to move up


Whan you buy music from iTunes, can you save it as mp3 ?

Yes, you can but not directly.  You will need a free conversion program called Jhymn.  After you have purchased the song in iTunes it is a protected AAC file.  Jhymn will strip the DRM protection from it and will convert it to a format of your choice such as a mp3.

How come animals do not get sick consuming contaminated water?

They do, but some animals have a higher tolerance than humans.  Think about it, how would you feel after you eat a rotten carcass or plants off the ground.


There is little accuracy in IQ tests, because intelligence can only be described with ordinal measurement, i.e.  highest, next highest, etc.  So IQ results can only be used in a comparative sense.  In addition, the concept of "intelligence" is complex and vague so only generalized comparisons can be made.  Note that part of the definition of IQ is that the average is defined at 100.  So, if we could get a concrete measurement of total human intelligence, the average would always be 100, no matter whether the true amount changed or stayed the same.\n\nMany online "IQ tests" are not true IQ tests anyway.  The only truly valid IQ tests are those administered by professionals.   A real IQ test measures pattern recognition and problem solving abilities; ideally patterns and problems that the testee has never encountered before.  A really good IQ test should not even be language dependent, except for the basic instructions to start the test.\n\nMany online "IQ tests" include questions about math, science, etc.  While these are valid questions, they are measuring knowledge, which is quite a different thing from intelligence.\n\nThis isn't to say that IQ isn't valid or useful.  There is a distinct difference between people with high vs. average vs. low IQ.  However, outside of a clinical setting, the use of IQ is doubtful.

how to start a new relationship and keep in love?

I would have to say there are a few things that must be there for a relationship. \n\n1. Honesty\n2. physical attraction\n3. compromise\n4. compassion\n5. conversation\n& lastly 6. RESPECT! If you two do not have at least five of these things and hopefully they are #'s-1,3,4,5, and 6 then find someone else who will fit in with your standards. I could write like a ten pager about this but I thought it would bore you, so i briefed it for you. GOOD LUCK:)


What killed all the dinosaurs?  Why did it happen?

Wikipedia has an excellent article on this.  According to them, there are 3 main theories:\n\n1. Asteroid collision\n\nBasically a huge rock hit our planet causing a plum of sediment to float into our atmosphere reducing light from the sun.  This reduction killed off a huge portion of the existing plant life, thus wiping out the food supply for many animals.  As one thing leads to another, massive extinctions followed.\n\n2. The Oort cloud\n\nSimilar to the asteroid theory, an Oort cloud is a literal storm of comets.  The results follow pretty closely with the single asteroid theory.\n\n3. Environment changes\n\nThis is a little more vague, but also a little simpler to prove to a degree (pun intended).  The theory follows the notion of the magnetic poles flipping (causing tremendous weather changes), or some other massive event (such as the melting of the caps, or an ice age) that would in turn kill off most of the larger species on the planet.\n\nFor further information, please read the wikipedia article.

Is Yahoo! Maps better than Google Maps? Why?

It does have some nice features that Google Maps doesn't have, like zooming with the mousewheel, a geocoding API, and the "minimap" that shows you where you are.\n\nThe downsides that I've found as compared to Google Maps is that it's flash based (which isn't necessarily bad), and creating markers on the map seems to be much slower, unless there's some way to speed it up I haven't found.\n\nBelow are two maps that basically do the same thing, one implemented in Google Maps and one in Yahoo Maps. (notice you can see the markers show up on  the Yahoo one)


what is the horsepower of a 230cc engine?


i like to know where the gems show are held,and places in detailed?

This is THE best held in the US. Their are countless others held all over the states each weekend of the year basically. Depends on where you are. The best to attend though and is probably way too late to find any hotels within a 300 mile radius for the 2006 show. This is a hard one to get too and its very busy and crowded. It is pretty hard to even find a place to set up a camper if you don't know someone already. Good Luck


It depends on how your body digest certain foods.\nSome people can eat beans all day and not fart at all. \nOthers can just drink a glass of juice and they are purging toxic fumes from the lower vent hole all day.\nBut beans and green leafy types of veggies will usually get the job done. Also chille dogs with onions and mustard does it for some people. If your just trying to fart? Try drinking a can of one of those slim fast shakes. it'll give you lots of gas, however in 4 to 6 hours, the volcano is ready to erupt.\nYes... you were venting volcanic gases.

Can epicac make you sick if you use it to become belemic??

Syrup of Ipecac is designed for emergency treatment of certain drug overdoses.  Users are specifically cautioned not to use it for weight loss, as serious heart problems or death may occur.\n\nBulimia is another disease, too.  Repeated vomiting, even if not done with syrup of Ipecac, can cause dental problems, complications of the esophagus and colon, and more.\n\nIf you know someone using Ipecac to induce vomiting, make them stop.  It could kill them.  Plus, anyone suffering from bulimia needs medical care and counseling.  Here are links to information about Ipecac and bulimia.  Good luck.

Why does PayPal want me to confirm my bank account?

According to PayPal:  "When you confirm your U.S. bank account, your Sending Limit is lifted. The amount of money you send through your PayPal account will not be subject to Sending Limits although the maximum dollar amount for any single transaction is $10,000.00 USD or the equivalent thereof."\n\nConfirming your bank account is very simple.  You just give PayPal your routing and account numbers.  They make two "microdeposits" into your bank account.  For example, they will deposit $0.17 and $0.05.  It will take about two days for it to show up in your account.  When the deposits are in your account, you just confirm your account by telling PayPal what the two amounts are.  They know that it is your account since you have access to the amounts.\n\nI would highly recommend confirming your bank account if you are a merchant.  As a customer, I would not send money to a non-confirmed merchant.\n\nYou still have the ability to use your credit and debit cards on PayPal.  But after you confirm your account, you also have the ability to send immediate payments from your checking or savings account.

What is the cheapest way to advertise on TV?

Probably, but remember that only purchasing a few ads probably isn't a good use of your advertising dollars.\n\nThe two most important keys to effective advertising:\n\n1. Target the right demographic. What people purchase your products or services? Make sure you reach those people and not someone else. For example, advertising to business professionals during daytime soap operas while professionals are at the office probably won't be effective.\n\n2. Make sure your viewers (listeners, etc.) get enough repetitions to remember your ads. If someone sees your TV ad just once, odds are they won't even remember it. It takes a few viewings before people start remembering your ads. Try to make sure that when you purchase an air plan, your average viewer will receive at least 3 impressions (more are better), otherwise, you will likely be throwing your money away.\n\nAmongst various advertising media, outdoor (billboards) and radio traditionally have a lower cost per impression than TV, so they may be better deals for you.\n\nIf you do think you might be interested in TV advertising, talk to sales reps from your local TV stations and cable system(s). They should be able to develop air plans for you that target the demographics you are looking for.\n\nTV sales reps can also generally suggest commercial production companies that do affordable work. And they may even have special programs for new advertisers to make producing your first ad more affordable.\n\nIf you talk to several sales reps, you should be able to get a good deal simply by comparing prices. Just make sure that you're comparing apples to apples. You should be comparing the CPM (cost per thousand impressions) not the overall cost of running ads, or the number of ads being run. And you should make sure that the CPMs you compare are for the same demographic, for example, women 18-34, or people 25-49, income above $50,000.\n\nWhatever you decide your target demographic is, make sure all your CPM estimates from sales reps reflect those demographics and not some other numbers that the station thinks is more favorable to them. Some demographics are much cheaper to reach than others, and you will not be comparing equivalent pricing if you don't look at an identical demo.\n\nHope this helps. :-)

i have alot of amateur piucs that i have taken of my lady friends. what are the legalities of selling them?

BE CAREFUL!\n\nThe rules have changed drastically in the US regarding adult content. It's a little code passed and made more strict in the last 5 years called Title18, 2257. In a nutshell the code states that you must keep documentation for any model in adult situations. If you post the photos you must provide a link that tells an Attorney General and law enforcement where they can examine those documents. Take a look at some adult sites, see that link at the bottom, usually titled 2257? Well, that's what needs to be done.\n\nIf you don't comply and can't prove the models age- the punishment can be pretty harsh...prison time harsh. While there have been few prosecutions due to 2257, just wait. Alberto Gonzales has been hinting at coming down on the adult web. So, expect to hear some pretty scary stories in the next few years.\n\nMy advice, if these are just candid photos you took of your girlfriends with your digital camera and if you don't have permission or documents signed by people appearing in the photos, don't post them. You really have no rights to post them. Without that written permission and age verification, they are for your photo collection only.

Why are the cyanates & sulfonates not as toxic as the other compounds of cyanide?

This is because the CN (cyanATE) is not in an ionic form (cyanIDE). Hydrogen cyanide easily dissociates for form H+ and CN-. The CN- is the dangerous part. In a cyanate the CN is more strongly attached to an atom that it does not easily dissociate. However under severe conditions (ie burning, thermal decomposition) cyanates can decompose to give cyanide.


Is there an efficient way to deconvolve a gaussian blur kernel to recover the underlying data?

One simple method is to take the fourier transform of the blurred image and the kernel. No divide transform of image by transform of kernel. In spatial domain this can be done by convolving the blurred image by the inverse of the kernel matrix.\n\nBut from textbooks on image processing, it becomes evident, that even if one has the actual kernel that was used to blurr the original image, it is difficult to reverse the process exactly.\n\nMoving on to a bit more advanced level, one can apply Minimum Mean Square Error filtering also known as Wiener Filtering. Disadvantage with the simple method shown above is that it does not always compensate for the noise produced in the image. This is were Wiener filter provides better results. It is based on objective of finding an estimate "est_I" of the original image I, so that mean square error between them is minimized. This error becomes\n\ne^2 = E[(I - est_I)^2]\n\nwhere E[] is the expected value of the argument.\n\nIf you search for practical implementation of wiener filter then I am sure you will find answer to how to actually implement it.\n\nI hope this was the answer you were looking for.

How come people like to make fun of chinese people?that is so not fair to them..?

If you're living in America I can say the reason mostly is the language.  Chinese sounds funny to us because it is so different from our own language.  Actually it is different from many languages but I'm only able to testify for Americans.  The culture is also very different from what we're used to, while other cultures aren't really all that much different.  I wouldn't take it personally, people make fun of other people that are different.  Once they get to know you they'll probably joke even more, but joking around is how many people get along and should be taken lightly.  It's just our way.  \n\nAside from all that I think the world for the most part actually has a lot of respect for the Chinese.   It's culture, Art, history is all fascinating and very foreign because of so many years of no contact.

How far do you think humans are to acheiveing light speed travel?

It is impossible to actually go at the speed of light because in the formula for time dialation (That's right Velocity distorts time. The faster you go, the slower time goes for you. This effect is negligable unless you are going very close to the speed of light.) if v(velocity) were equal to c(the speed of light) you would have a zero in the denomonator.\nthe formula is:\nt'=t/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)\n\nwhere t' is the time that has passed from a stationary observer, t is the time that has passed for you, sqrt means square root and ^2 means squared. As you can notice, when v is small, since c^2 is so huge, you get a miniscule decimal, and 1 minus that number is basically as small as 1.0000000000001 or something, and so time is not really affected. As v gets larger(it can never be the speed of light, then the denomonator would be zero) that fraction becomes closer to 1, so when you subtract it from one, the denomonator gets smaller and smaller, meaning t gets smaller(in order for t' to remain constant) this means that time actuall slows down for the object moving at such velocities. This formula is correct, it is part of Einstein's theory of relativity, and I have had to derive it myself from ordinary mechanics formulas. \n\nAlong with time, length contracts and mass expands by the same factor.  If you were to go close to the speed of light, your mass would increase and length would decrease. This means that the density of your body would increase more and more as you went faster and faster, and your blood eventually wouldn't be able to flow anymore and your cells would die of oxygen starvation.  Not that it really matters, because to even begin witnessing this effect, you would have to be going at least 90 or 95% or so the speed of light.  \n\nNow to answer your question in that is it actually physically possible to get close... considering they have particle accelerators stories high and miles long requiring tremendous amounts of energy in order to even get tiny protons and neutrons to move at such speeds, it doesn't seem like they're anywhere near accelerating something big anytime soon.  F=ma, meaning in order to get something that weighs one gram, like a paperclip to accelerate to the same degree as they do the protons, you would need about 2x10^24 times the force.  That notation just means a 2 with 24 zeros after it.  The reason for this is that that is how much more mass a paperclip has then a proton.  An actual human isn't going to get anywhere close for a very long time.


Do you follow the political philosophy of your parents?

I'm sure in all of us, a little bit of what our parents believe gets into us the offspring. However, no in the end what path you choose is exactly that, your choice. I know of people who have grown up to believe what their parents do, and then totally change the opposite way. I personally feel that there is no right political party. I could vote either Democratic or Repub, it makes no difference to me. Who ever I feel will get the job done the best.


What is your New Year's resolution and do you think you will follow through with it?

commercial bank is a type of financial intermediary and a type of bank. It raises funds by collecting deposits from businesses and consumers via checkable deposits, savings deposits, and time deposits. It makes loans to businesses and consumers. It also buys corporate bonds and government bonds. Its primary liabilities are deposits and primary assets are loans and bonds.\n\nThis is what people normally call a "bank". The term "commercial" was used to distinguish it from an investment bank. Since the two genres of banks no longer have to be separate companies, some have used the term "commercial bank" to refer to banks which focus mainly on companies.


Ok, I have a boyfriend,but the only reason I am going out with him is because he reminds me of one of my ex's.

Well you did'nt really ask a question, but if you are meaning if thats ok or your asking people's view points on the topic then i'll share mine. I did the same thing. Its not nessciarly wrong (Sp?), but i guess it all depends on what specific reasons and if its against your morals or not. It does'nt really matter what other people think only you. Your the one thats dating him. If you liked your last ex alot and had fun then maybe your ex was your "type" of guy. And people tend to have a type. So just go with the flow and follow your heart.


Why do friends you make online are never happy to keep the relationship as is?

Alot of times people who seek out friends online are shy in real life or use the Internet as an avenue to meet people. You know used to bars, work, and church were the places to meet girls or guys, but with sexual harassment being an issue in the work place and church attendance down, the Internet is fast becoming a place where others can meet people. And like the previous person said, after they meet you online they usually want to meet in real life...because face it, online communications get a bit boring and lonely. In your case, I'd be upfront and tell them that you are only interested in online friendships not meeting in real life. If they can't handle it, then dump them before you start becoming good friends.


How much Megabyte does the Internet have ?

Considering that most computers connected online have hard drives with 20,000 or more megabytes (20 gigabytes, accounting even for somewhat older systems), the number is pretty huge.\n\nDue to the sheer number of people online and such, it's pretty hard to say.  However, I've seen simple networks with over 100 terabytes, or 100,000,000 megabytes of information.  With how many of these there are in the world, As of 1997, over 3,000 terabytes (3 billion megabytes) of information was simply transferred over the internet per month.\n\nNeedless to say, the Internet is much, much larger now.  So, to answer your question, it's a lot.  I'd guess that by now, the Internet has trillions of megabytes flowing through it each month.
