Has anyone every had laser surgery on there eyes? if so, is it bad?

I had mine done years ago and I love it.  However, not everyone who gets it done comes out perfect, my mom is having trouble with her peripheral vision and she gets bad night reflective glares, but the rest of my family are fine too.  Lasik technology has also gotten much better these days though.  \n\nIt's such a quick procedure, like 10 minutes, and you don't feel a thing except afterwards it stings for a day or two, it feels like you have something stuck in your eye or you scratched it, cuz it's your cornea healing from the incision, but they give you eyedrops and painkillers for it.

how is beer being fermented? what the differences between home brewing and commercial brewing?

Commercial brewers do the whole thing step by step. This alows them to control every stage of the process and consistently produce the same flavour and quality.\n\nMost home brewing is done using prepared ingredients and there is little control over the final product. Many breweries pride themselves on the quality of water they use - this is not an option at home.\n\nBarley is the most common grain to use. As the grains germinate the insoluble stored starch is converted soluble maltose (a sugar) - a malt. Lots of water is added as well as a suitable yeast; there are lots of yeast varieties to choose from.\nThe yeasts grows rapidly using the maltose and making lots of carbon dioxide (the fizz in beers). This process is anaerobic - fermentation - and the sugar molecules are not completely used. The remaining bit is alcohol.\nHops are added to produce various additional flavours.\n\nThe following reference is for home brewing:

How do you let a girl know that you like her without telling her directly?

First of all, in 90% of cases at least, girls/women feel it when a guy likes them, you don't really need to make them know, although it is good for their ego.\nSecondly, YOUR concern should not be to make her know that you like her but to make her like you.\nAnd last, when you think you have managed the second point, then tell her that you like her DIRECTLY.

When our skin gets cut or injured, and it starts bleeding, 3 things happen in this order:\n1. Vaso-constriction: The vessels in the area constrict, to inhibit and decrease the output flow of blood.\n2. Platelets rush to the area, and start forming a platelet plug to further stop the flow.\n3. Coagulation happens (in healthy people) and you get a "blood clumping" or clotting. It is the body's way of stopping the bleeding.

Are you looking for someone to do your homework?\nGeometry is very simple. There are three basic shapes, The sphere, Triangle and the Square. Learn that a circle is nothing more than a shadow of a sphere and that shadow is but a line. The angle is your point of view. To solve for X you must know two of the three. X is only unknown for a very short time. There are 10 dimensions. Length, width, height, area, volume, weight, mass, velocity, time, and infinity. Any math problem may be solved if two or more dimensions are known. The lowest common denominator is two and if two of anything is known the third dimension will be also known.\nie. a triangle with equal sides is composed of 3, 60 degree angles, 60 + 60 + 60 = 180 degrees. Knowing that half of a circle which is half of a sphere multiply by the common denominator of 2 and 360 appears which is a sign for infinity, through in any of the dimensions given  such as volume, mass, velocity, etc. any problem can be solved. Linear problems are solved with the triangle also. For every side there is the other. Make the triangle square or draw a square and divided it in two by a linear line from the opposing corner. Solve the problem L x W x H and you have area. Divide the area of the square by two and you have the area of the triangle. Pi is infinity, in math it is 3.14 and then some. Pi is also the Greek word for the Egyption (word) hieroglift of the lazy 8 which is a symbol for infinity also, it is a mineral we call magnetite. Magnetite in crystal form is in the shape of tetrahedron which we know as a pyramid times 2. The numeral 8 is an Aribic number which means 4 + 4. It is not of any quincedence that a pyramid has four faces. The mystery of the pyramids has been solved by Paul Einstein. Geometry is fun if you know how it came to be.

The ASVAB isn't mandatory in schools, and it is used within the military to help qualify (or disqualify) potential personnel from jobs. This way, students can get a fair assessment of their current potential, and the military can better target interested personnel, meaning a more efficient (and therefore less taxpayer dollar costly) recruitment process. \n\nIf the student objects to the ASVAB, they shouldn't take it in high school.

Then you call it by using http://ipaddress:portnumber

I'm not a Windows person, so to be conservative I decided\nto provide two variations on this program.  The first only\nuses features provided by ANSI C.  This does NOT give you\nthe ability to extract a numeric set of permissions, but\nthe function"access()" does let you check for R/W/X and\nfile existence.\n\n\n/*\n *  Check for specific permissions on a file\n */\n\n#include <unistd.h>\n#include <stdio.h>\n\nint\nmain(int argc, char* argv[])\n{\n for (int i=1; argv[i]; i++) {\n  if (access(argv[i], R_OK) == 0)\n   printf("File %s exists and has read access\n", argv[i]);\n  else\n   printf("File %s does NOT have read access\n", argv[i]);\n }\n return 0;\n}\n\nSample execution:\n\n $ a.out /etc/passwd /etc/shadow\n File /etc/passwd exists and has read access\n File /etc/shadow does NOT have read access\n\nThis program could be expanded to use the other permission\ntests and print out read/write/execute details. That will\nbe left as an exercise for the reader.\n\n R_OK     Test for read permission.\n W_OK     Test for write permission.\n X_OK     Test for execute or search permission.\n F_OK     Check existence of file\n\nIf your system is Posix compliant (and I think Windows is,\nbut I'm not sure), then you can use the "stat()" function.\nThis version of the program extracts the file permissions\nand prints them in octal format.\n\n\n#include <fcntl.h>\n#include <sys/types.h>\n#include <sys/stat.h>\n#include <stdio.h>\n#include <stdlib.h>\n\nint\nmain(int argc, char* argv[])\n{\n struct stat sbuff;\n\n if (!argv[1])\n  fprintf(stderr, "usage: %s file-to-check\n", argv[0]), exit(-1);\n\n if (stat(argv[1], &sbuff)< 0)\n  fprintf(stderr, "stat(%s) failed\n", argv[1]), exit(-1);\n\n printf("%s \t has mode %12o\n", argv[1], sbuff.st_mode);\n\n return 0;\n}\n\n\nSample execution:\n\n $ cc permis2.c\n $ a.out /etc/passwd\n /etc/passwd      has mode       100644\n $ a.out /etc/shadow\n /etc/shadow      has mode       100400\n\n\nTo interpret these permissions, look at the lower three\ndigits.  /etc/passwd has mode 644, which gives user,\ngroup, and other permissions of RW-, R--, and R--.\n/etc/shadow has mode 400, which gives the corresponding\npermissions of R--, ---, and ---.

In the US there are many groups that meet weekly to practice speaking other languages. It is not connected with any school or program, but something the people set up on their own.

Maybe you can offer to teach an English speaker your language in exchange for them helping you with your English.

Your subtraction always results in an answer whose digits add up to 9 or 18. When you circle one digit and give the remaining digits, the program adds the digits you give and subtracts the sum from 9 or 18, whichever would give one digit for the answer.\n\nThe example given, getting 5560 from the subtraction, cannot happen, and a good thing, too, because if you follow the example and remove one digit from 5560 and give in the rest, the program gets the missing digit wrong.\n\nThe program cannot allow you to circle "0" after your subtraction, because then the program wouldn't be able to know whether you circled a 0 or a 9. The rules could just as well have forbbidden you to circle 9; either 0 or 9 would do.

Does anybody have any experience with online universities? How does it work?

I'm getting my doctorate in Educational Leadership from the University of Phoenix (on-line). I've been in the program since January 2004 and expect to graduate in July 2007. Online is very intense and it's not for the average learner. If you are disciplined, organized, computer literate and a decent writer, I say go for it!\n\nOnline degrees are definitely accepted in the business world, and businesses are even paying for select employees to obtain advanced degrees through online schools.\n\nClasses are usually taken one at a time (unlike ground universities) and each course lasts 5-8 weeks. You have individual assignments as well as team assignments to complete. The online resources will help you succeed as an online student. Libraries, help desk, editing services, etc. are all provided to the online learner.\n\nThe facilitators have extensive backgrounds and bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the class they teach. You get the pleasure of working with students from all over the world, giving you a broader perspective of the course.\n\nI enjoy online education so much that I plan to teach on-line myself in the near future.

How do the different financial markets (stock, commodity, currency, bond & interest rate) effect each other ??

Wow, if someone knows the real effect, it would start profiting from the idea. Later, it would be useless.\n Still, inter-market behavior is very productive and can give you some edge in trading. Commodities prices influence companies related to the commodity in question. Ex. oil.\nOption and future markets easily affect stock market trading. It is believed that future and option players are smarter, wealthier, and better informed that securities traders so a big trade in any of those market will influence stock trading rapidly. For example, if a big player wants to raid the market (make it go lower), they sell S&P futures, leading to program selling to start. If there is weakness in the market, a pretty good sell-off is guaranteed.

is this still a love friendship or its already in another stage of love?

You obviously love her.  Most people love their friends.  But whether you're "in love" with her... well, you'll know when you are, it will be obvious.  If you don't know, then you probably aren't in love.  But, the thing is, it's really easy to fall in love with someone that's already a friend.  So if you're willing and you want to see if she's willing, to move to "another stage of love," then just go for it.  How you go for it is up to you though.

the reason why cultures or religions do fasting?

Fasting is the act of willingly abstaining from some or all food and in some cases drink, for a period of time. Depending on the tradition, fasting practices may forbid sexual intercourse, (or any sexual desire), masturbation, as well as refraining from eating certain types or groups of food (e.g. meat).\n\nFasting for religious and spiritual reasons has been a part of human custom since pre-history. It is mentioned in the Qur'an, in the Mahabharata, in the Upanishads, and in the Bible, in both the Old and New Testament.\n\nIslam\n==========\n\nIn Islam, fasting starts from fajr (dawn), until maghrib (sunset) is observed during the month of Ramadan. Fasting in the month of Ramadan is one of the Pillars of Islam, and thus one of the most important acts of Islamic worship. By fasting, whether during Ramadan or other times a Muslim draws closer to his Lord by abandoning the things he/she enjoys, such as food and drink. This makes the sincerity of his/her faith and his/her devotion to Allah (God) all the more evident. The believer knows that Allah will love him/her when he/she is ready to abandon worldly comforts for Allah's sake.\n\nAllah informs Muslims in the Qur'an that fasting was prescribed for those before them (i.e., the Jews and Christians) and that by fasting Muslim gains 'taqwa', which can be described as the care taken by a person to do everything Allah has commanded and to keep away from everything that He has forbidden. Fasting helps prevent many sins and is a shield with which the Muslim protects him/herself from jahannam (hell).\n\nMuslims believe that fasting is more than abstaining from food and drink. It also means to abstain from any falsehood in speech and action, from any ignorant and indecent speech, and from arguing and fighting. Therefore, fasting helps to develop good behavior.\n\nFasting also inculcates a sense of brotherhood and solidarity, as a Muslim feels and experiences what his needy and hungry brothers and sisters feel. However, even the poor, needy, and hungry participate in the fast. Moreover, Ramadan is a month of giving charity and sharing meals to break the fast together.\n\nWhile fasting in the month of Ramadan is considered fard (obligatory), Islam also proscribed certain days for non-obligatory fasting, such as on each Monday and Thursday of a week, or six days in the month of Shawal of the Islamic calendar (the month following Ramadan).\n\nEastern Orthodox Church\n========================\n\nFor Orthodox Christians, there are five fasting seasons, which include Nativity, Meatfast, Great Lent & Holy Week, Apostles' Fast and Dormition. Fasting during these times refers to abstention from animal products, olive oil (or all oils, according to some Orthodox traditions), wine and spirits -- see Eastern Orthodoxy (Fasting). Fasting can take up a significant portion of the calendar year. The idea is not to suffer, but to use the experience to come closer to God, to realize one's excesses and for alms giving. Fasting without prayer and almsgiving (donating the money saved to a local charity, or directly to the poor, depending on circumstances) is considered useless or even spiritually harmful by many Orthodox Christians.\n\nJudaism\n========\n\nJudaism views three essential potential purposes of fasting, and a combination of some or all of these could apply to any given fast. One purpose in fasting is the achievement of atonement for sins and omissions in Divine service. Fasting is not considered the primary means of acquiring atonement; rather, sincere regret for and rectification of wrongdoing is key (see Isaiah, 58:1-13).\n\nNevertheless, fasting is conducive to atonement, for it tends to precipitate contrition in the one who fasts (see Joel, 2:12-18). This is why the Bible requires fasting (lit. self affliction) on Yom Kippur (see Leviticus, 23:27,29,32; Numbers, 29:7; Tractate Yoma, 8:1; ibid. (Babylonian Talmud), 81a). Because, according to the Hebrew Bible, hards

The best way is to use at least IE, Netscape, and Mozilla and use that to click every link on every page. If this isn't possible, just test every unique link.  Also, test each function. If you have a search function, test it with multiple words, punctuation, etc. Two of the most important things with searches are testing with a single quote and testing with an empty string. Finally, get a friend or co-worker who is not very computer saavy and have them perform a few things on the site and see if they can break it. Always try to break the site and if you can't, then its probably pretty good.\nGood Luck!

The Russians have a new breed of tank with anti aircraft missles that can be launched out the main barrel (mostly for destroying helicopters).\nhttp://www.army-technology.com/projects/t90/\n\n\nThe U.S. military doesn't really do tank battles (although a couple happened in the first gulf war).  Aircraft and artillery can make short work of tanks.  The U.S. feels that tanks are great if they are there, but they are extremely slow to ship around the world.  It takes like 3 to 6 months to move a shipment of tanks from the U.S. to Iraq.  That's why the U.S. has put more emphases on vehicals that can be shipped by air.\n\nhttp://www.army-technology.com/projects/gvp/\nhttp://www.army-technology.com/projects/shadow/\nhttp://www.army-technology.com/projects/stryker/

With the summer coming, I know there is going to be much more in my house. I'm getting some Spider Killer spray, which you just spray at them and they shrivel. Even doing that freaks me out and I want to run. I'm already nervous about it. \n\nThe thought of one crawling on me drives me out of my mind.  The other night, my husband and I were sitting talking, when all of a sudden a spider was crawling down the front of his shirt. I almost went through the roof. He said, "You almost gave me a heart attack". He knows my fear, and I try not to react like I do, but it freaks me out every time. I hate to kill them; after all they are God creation. I wish there was a little spider trapper thing, which you could suck them up with and then blow them back out side. They’re good for catching other insects and maintaining the insect population, but I just don't want them in my house. Imagine if there were no spiders at all, how overpopulated we would be with other insects?  Thank you God.


how can i get rid of the mildew in kids bath toys...the ones that squeak...or do i have to get rid of them?

I would suggest throwing them out.  I wouldn't want my little ones playinng with mildewy toys.  The news is always showing stories about homes that have mold and mildew growing in the walls, or someplace, and saying how sick it can make you.  You can buy mesh bags to put kids bath toys in after the bath, so they drain and dry out.


Is it wrong for your boyfriend to have other girls for friend.?

As long as that friendships aren't abnormaly close, like touching each other most of the time, it's not wrong for him to have female frinds, it's actually necessary.\n\nWe are humans, social beings, and just because he is in a realationship with you that doesn't mean he has to have only male friends, that's no warranty of anything, if he wants to cheat on you he'll do it even if you think he doesn't have girlfriends or he could cheat on you with an other boy and you would be very calmed thinking he´s with a boy.\n\nIf you restrict who he can be frinds with it more probable thet he will feel suffocated and end up either cheating on you or leaving you.\n\nSo my advice is to trust in him and if there's something specific that bothers you (example: that Jane calls you everynight or Cindy writes messages in your notebooks)tell him.


considering the two forces the centip., fugal b\t the sun and the earth why does the earth revolve around sun

There is no such thing as centrifugal force, it is an illusion. The only force acting upon the earth is gravity. As you can see, there is absolutely no balance to the forces, just one force acting towards to centre of mass of the earth/sun system. (I'm ignoring other gravitational forces, such as that of the moon and other planets).\n\nNow you seem to have a little bit of a misunderstanding about what forces do. A system with balanced forces does not have to be stationary. Forces cause acceleration. Therefore if something is moving with constant velocity then it has no resultant force acting on it (forces are balanced).\n\nSince the earth only has one force acting on it (centripetal force, towards the sun) then the earth is constantly accelerating towards the sun. Because the earth has a tangential component to it's velocity (that is not affected whatsoever by the centripetal force because it is at right angles to it) it orbits the sun.


Should I have a boyfriend in the fifth grade?

Sure, why not? As long as you realize that a boyfriend in 5th grade does not mean you are destined to be together forever and all of that. Have a boyfriend, but keep in mind that you're still very young and you definitely don't need to be doing any grown-up things with this boy.

can i have info on willian carey 1950's-1960's?


Jump off a cliff sounds good that could hurt. Really I would never kill myself


I'll take them one at a time:\n\n1 Mexico City- This would be a good choice. Big stadium, big market (all of Mexico). This could be a logical first global expansion point.\n2 Birmingham- I don't think the NFL wants to expand much more into the south. I could be wrong. Alabama is big for college football-I'm sure it'd be a big NFL state.\n3 Las Vegas- Absolutely not. For all the Pro Leagues, Las Vegas is the untouchable city. The gambling/sports connection is one they stay far away from.\n4 Hawaii- Not sure what kind of market Hawaii would be. Cities with weather that good, typically have people who make their own fun outdoors.\n5 Canada- Possible, although the late year weather would be a problem. Also, Canadian government protection of CFL could be a problem.\n6 Germany Could be a good first expansion if they went global.\n7 the UK- Would be most probable point for european expanisio\n8 Oklahoma City- Not sure. most people there are already Cowboy fans.\n9 Albuqueque- Could be a possibility. Small overall population of state is a drawback.\n10 LA- There will be a team in LA\n11 San Antonio- Texas is large enough to support another team. San Antonio would be a good bet.\n12 others- Portland, Connecticut, Virginia(Va Beach/Norfolk), Orlando(too close to Tampa ?), Louisville(too close to Cincy ?) Puerto Rico. If Cuba became a free nation after Castro's death, Havana(who played NCAA football in the 30's and 40's).

Do alternative health therapies really work for sleep apnea and what sorts of things would work?

DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE ALREADY CONSIDERED! THE ONLY THING THAT I WOULD EVER SUGGEST IS THE CPAP MACHINE PERIOD OR IF YOU HAVE PROBLEMS THE BIPAP MACHINE FOR SLEEP APNEA.  THEY KEEP THE AIRWAYS OPEN AND WORK WONDERFULLY! \n\n\n\nI use nightly one of those CPAP devices, it really did give me back about 20+ years of my life, no kidding. You should go to one of those sleep labs and subject yourself to the couple of nights of testing that are really required to fine tune. I swear I fought it with every thing I could possibly bring forth, then last year after emergency hospitalization the nurses advised my wife that I stopped breathing X number of times while I sedated ... "did he have sleep apnea?" Needless to say this hard headed 60 year old I can make it on my own had to seek help!!! OR GET A NEW WIFE I DECIDED THAT THE CLINIC WOULD BE COVERED BY INSURANCE, LAWYERS COST TO MUCH!!!! (JOKE)\n\nI went to the Clinic, which was no bed of roses, but acceptable. BUT the resulting CPAP once I got use to it is absolute WONDERFUL! I honestly feel much younger. The dang thing works, I was kind of wishing that it didn't. BUT I SWEAR THAT IT DOES AND IF YOU THINK THA YOU HAVE SLEEP APNEA SEEK PROFESSIONAL HELP. I SWEAR YOU WILL NEVER REGRET IT! \n\nWHAT ELSE CAN I SAY!\n\nYOU WILL REALLY FEEL MUCH BETTER!\n\nIF IT IS YOUR HUSBAND!  YOU WILL SLEEP MUCH BETTER AND HE WILL SLEEP MUCH BETTER ALSO !  BUT HE MUST GET USE TO THE DEVICE!  IT WILL TAKE ABOUT 2 WEEKS! AFTER THAT IT TAKE NO CONVINCING HIM TO USE IT ! HE WILL WANT TO USE IT!\n\nMAIN THING IS TO GO TO A SLEEP LAB AN DO AS DIRECTED BY THE SLEEP DOCTOR!\n\nSWEET DREAMS AND GOOD LUCK!\n\n\nAPS


Can a person really be poor/hungry if they are overweight and have a cell phone?

It is so easy to ridicule someone because they are overweight, but just because someone is overweight does not mean they are a big spender.\n\nAs for the cell phone, Newt Gingrich had said one of the reasons people remain poor is because they are not embracing new technology. A cell phone is becoming a necessity as our lives become more complicated, or in the case of the poor more dangerous. A cell phone is not just used by drug dealers and addicts, it is used to call the police when you are being chased by a dealer or addict.

as a boy i was taught not to be "prejudice" i certainly understood the logic in not making judgements till all

It is highly impossible to attain all the facts to prove that an entire race is bad. You are entitled to feel how you feel, but one bad apple does not spoil the whole bunch, so keep an open mind and don't be so quick to judge.  There is no written rule that says a person has to like everyone that they come in contact with, but at the very least being tolerant of someone that is different is essential.

is it possible for a human female to get pregnant a second time while she is already pregnant?

Animals are known to get pregnancies from multiple fathers because sperm from different males competes WITHIN the female's genital tract for the eggs. \n\nWomen do not normally have two eggs, but if they sometimes do it is possible that having sex with two different men within a short period of time could be result in dual pregnancies. When the embryo has developed even slightly (after a few days) ovulation is impossible and the woman can not conceive. Such dual pregnancies would have to occur at the approximate same time, as gumdropgirl has noted above.\n\nRegarding the so-called premature neonate you mention (the premature twin of 10 months), it is often the case that two fetuses compete for nutrients and access to the mother's circulation and oxygen (going through the placenta etc). When one fetus gets more, the other may get less and could be underdeveloped. It happens.

What will be the genotype and allele frequencies of the next generation?

This is a fairly long answer... first you need to get the initial allele frequencies. equation is p2 + 2pq + q2 (p2 and q2 from here on in is p squared and q squared)\nSince I am left to assume that counter clockwise is recessive then .36 is the initial q2. Taking the square root of that we get .6 as the initial allele frequency for q. 1-q=p so p=1-.6=.4. In other words, the island initally has 80p (clockwise)alleles and 120q (counterclockwise) alleles since humans are diploid and have two copies of each gene.\nNow, the 25 sailors have have added 50 copies of the q allele thereby changing the allele frequencies. The new allele frequencies are (120+50)/250 for q and 80/250 for p. when you do the math you get .32 for p and .68 for q. This will be the allele frequencies for the next generation too. \nNow plugging those numbers into the equation that I sited earlier you get .1024 for p2, .4352 for 2pq and .4624 for q2. You can give those a dominant/recessive notation such as WW for p2, Ww for 2pq, and ww for q2 to show genotype frequencies. \n\nThe evolutionary force at work is migration. \nhope this is what you were looking for.


Are you recovering from traumatic brain injury?

Funny you should ask.  I have been answering a lot of questions here, but two years ago I was in exactly the same situation as you are now.  My wife (28 at the time) was in a car accident and ended up with TBI.  I was desperate to hear some stories, since I knew the neurosurgeons would never commit to any prognosis.  My wife stayed in a coma for 9 days and then slowly started waking up.  Initially, she had difficult talking, concentrating, walking etc, but over the course of six weeks, her physical therapists got her back to a great shape.  She continued her recovery and today the accident is just a memory. She is back to herself 100% and we just had a baby boy.  So I want to give you some hope.  The thing with TBI is that it is very unpredictible.  Her MRI looked quite bad apparently (she had the dreaded diffuse axonal injury) and yet she recovered fully.  I'd say she was back to 90% at six months and has been at 100% since then.  In retrospect, there were two important things.  She had excellent neurosurgical care that made sure the intracranial pressure never got too high.  I don't know how recent your daughter's accident was, but if it is days, that is absolutely the key thing.  Inquire about those pressures if you can.  The second thing was a comprehensive physical, speech and occupational therapy program.  Make sure your daughter gets the best.  \n\nAll the best to you and your daughter and never loose any hope!


Why don't I ever see Asian born men (not Asian-Americans) and American women as couples?

I understand your question as I've noticed the same phenomenon....it appears that true asians living in American tend to close the ranks and turn inward...in other words, they still clink to the tradition of marrying their own kind. I believe with time the younger generations will succumb to the culture and pressures of american society and will begin to more often inter-relate. I haven't seen a lot of evidence of it yet however...

how can my 11 year old daughter get rid of breakage in her hair?

She might be doing something that is causing the breakage.  Is she constantly putting it in a ponytail, overusing the curling iron or hairdryer, or using damaging products?  Does she naturally have dry skin or hair?  All of these factors can contribute to the problem.\n\nMy best suggestion is to use a hot oil treatment for the hair.  Then make sure she uses conditioner every time she washes.  Pantene may be a more expensive shampoo and conditioner, but it works wonders in helping hair get healthy.

According to Newton's second Law of motion: The acceleration of an object depends on the mass of the object...

According to Newton's second law,\nF = m*a \nF = Force\nm = mass\na = acceleration\n\nnow, also,\n\na = (v-u)/t \nv = final velocity\nu = initial velocity\nt = time\n\nput this expression into first equation, you get\n\nF = m (v - u)/t\n= (mv - mu)/t\n\nalso, momentum = mass * velocity\n\nso,\nF = (final momentum - initial momentum)/t\n\nwe can also say that\n\nF = Rate of change of momentum

My husband will have a heart valve replaced.  What's your preference: synthethic, pig or cow valve and why?

I had my pulmonary valve replaced last year at the age of 34.\n\nAnimal valves (pig or cow doesn't matter) are good because they function naturally just like normal human valves.  They require no upkeep at all during their lifetime and no special limitations.  However, they wear out every 10 to 15 years and must be replaced.  This means a major surgery is guaranteed a little less than once a decade.  Animal valves have no risk of rejection at all.  The human body doesn't even recognize them.  They are a good choice for young people who will still be healthy enough in 12 years to undergo another surgery.  \n\nSynthetic valves are good because they do not wear out.  On the downside, they have many edges where clots can form so the recipient will have to be on blood thinners the rest of his life.  Blood thinners cause bruising all over the body.  They make it more difficult to heal and may contribute to a host of medical conditions.  Like animal valves, there is never any risk of rejection.  Synthetic valves are a good choice for elderly patients who probably won't be strong enough in 12 years to withstand another surgery.\n\nGood luck.\n\nP.S.  don't pay any attention to the guy below me.  Should be sanitized?  They all come completely sanitized and hermetically packaged from the med lab.  Don't worry about unsanitary valves of any sort.


Is there a way to see if someone read the email that you sent them?

There is no way to do it for sure.  You can send an email "receipt" as the other person suggested, but the user is prompted as to whether they want to send the receipt, and many, including myself, say no.  I find that the receipt requests are really annoying.\n\nAnother way of figuring out if your email has been read is to include an image in the email that is hosted on a website/server you control.  If they open the email with images turned on, you can see in your website statistics that the image has been hit. This is also not the best way since they may have images turned off or your stats might not be accurate.\n\nThe bonus of these methods is that you will always know if they definitely received it (if the receipt is rec'd or if the image is hit), but you can't be sure that they didn't read just b/c you didn't get a receipt or the image wasn't hit - they could have said "no" to the receipt or had images turned off.\n\nIf you just want proof that you sent the email, cc yourself.  If you ever need to show that you did indeed send the email, you will have a copy in your own inbox to show.


What was the object of Jesus' rage when he went to the temple and over-turned the tables of the moneychangers?

Well, it was Passover at the time, and the money-changers did big business then.  People who came from foreign parts had to have their money changed into Jewish currency as this was the only money accepted for the Temple tax, and for the purchase of animals used for sacrifices.  Nothing changes: often the inflated rates of exchange made the moneychangers richer than they should have been, and the prices charged by the merchants for their animals was exorbitant.  Their stalls were set up int the Court of the Gentiles in the Temple; to get to the Temple non-Jews had to pass through it, so they were beleaguered on every side before they got there.  This is what made Jesus angry; they were, in effect, keeping Gentiles from worshipping God.

how many years live a person infeacted by aids ?

It is possible to live as long as someone who has diabetes. Researchers are on the brink of getting it to that point. The medical community announced there was a new weapon in the fight against AIDS. This new weapon was found in pregnant women. Many women have died from AIDS who were pregnant or had once been pregnant. The new weapon found in pregnant women is lysozyme. In 1999 the announcement was made on national television. There isn't any hurry on the part of medical researchers to help people.\n  Lysozyme works. Peppermint oil lozenges when combined with the enzymes in saliva ( particularly lysozyme ) form a powerful weapon against the virus. Any top AIDS researcher in the world will be able to verify and explain how peppermint oil lozenges will work against the AIDS virus. It can be a potent yet cheap alternative to keep people alive even in third world countries.


Where can I file for personal loan without using house mortgage.?

What you are talking about is an "unsecured loan" in banker's language.\n\nMy quess is that if you have sufficient debt that you need to consider a consolidation loan, you are very unlikely to find a legitimate lender who will advance you the funds on an unsecured basis.  You notice, I said legitimate.  Loan Sharks would loan you the money, but the rate would be higher than what you pay on your credit cards and the "collectors" might be a little aggressive.

what are the disadvantages of a truss bridge and a suspension bridge?

A Truss bridge is of old design, usually of wood or iron. Shifting of the ground can cause the truss to warp requiring costly repair. They do not allow much traffic beneath, such as over rivers. They are not pretty.\n\nA suspension bridge has extreme weight to be held by means of cables. Also, the pilons or towers require great strength and durability in the ground. Over time the towers and cables can give way. Some of the more notorius failures were due to wind causing the bridge to sway and eventually reaching resonant frequency. This has been caught on video tape. Quite a scene to watch.

Christopher Sydney Cockerell (June 4, 1910 – June 1, 1999) was a British engineer, inventor of the hovercraft.\n\nCockerell was born in Cambridge, England, where his father, Sir Sydney Cockerell, was curator of the Fitzwilliam Museum. He was educated at Gresham's School, Holt, Norfolk He began his career working for the Marconi company in 1935, and got married soon afterwards. He worked on radar systems during the Second World War. His great invention, the hovercraft, first saw the light of day in 1953. The idea was not an immediate success, and he was forced to sell personal possessions in order to finance his research. By 1959, a prototype craft was crossing the English Channel between Dover and Calais. Cockerell was knighted in 1969 for his services to engineering. He died at Hythe in Hampshire\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Cockerell

I actually cried when I first watched it, and I am not one of those people that cry at movies, but this was a moving experience for me.  \n\nThe movie was adapted from a book that a num wrote a couple of hundred years ago.  She had visions from Jesus about what the Passion was like, and was told all of this in great detail, including how many times He was whipped, and the crown of thorns and everything else.\n\nI haven't read the book, but am still looking for it, but I have heard, from people who have read it, that the movie is very close to what this nun had written.\n\nI don't think the movie was supposed to "bring people to Christianity", but was meant to show people how Jesus suffered.  I agree that something should have been done about the Resurection, since Passion referes to the crusifixtion, death and resurection, but I did kind of like the ending, showing Him walking out of the tomb.

what is a letter of credit with trust receipt?

"Letter of Credit" and 'Trust Receipt" both are separate segments of finances in banking language. If you establish a Letter of Credit for the import of goods that will be called "non-fund based finance".  But when the goods has arrived and you intend to get this consignment released from the port without making payment to the bank for reimbursement to the shipper the bank will pay the price of goods to the shipper by allow you "fund based finance" equivalent to the amount paid by the bank to the shipper. It will lend you "Trust Receipt Finance" without taking the goods into its custody/pledge.  But such finances are mostly lended to the trustworthy customers against tangible securities amicably agreed. The bank in such cases issues delivery orders to the shipping companies in your favor.

1st grade science projects involving trains?

Well, I know kids are very fascinated by steam powered locomotives, perhaps something involving the basic mechanics of how they move?  I'm not sure how detailed it would need to be for a 1st grade project, such has how the coal is burned to produce steam, which in turn forces the driving rods to move that propels the locomotive.  Wikipedia does a good job of describing the basics.

is it possible the universe is as big as it is small? How do we measure this?

OK, this is the Physics section, but your question is more a philosophical one, so let me try to answer in a philosophical way. Every time we speak about "the universe" we are easily engulfed into paradoxes, because the subject itself is ill-defined. You can't apply to the whole universe concepts and procedures that are defined and thus applicable only *inside* it. Like "measure", "big" and "small".\nAs the great Argentinian author Jorge Luis Borges once wrote, "There is no classification of the universe not being arbitrary and conjectural. The reason is that we do not know what the universe is".


what stand did Mother Jones act upon in chicago?

Stories, Sinclair wrote, were Mother Jones' weapons, stories "about strikes she had led and speeches she had made; about interviews with presidents and governors and captains of industry; about jails and convict camps." She berated the miners for their cowardice, telling them if they were afraid to fight, then she would continue on alone. "All over the country she had roamed," Sinclair concluded, "and wherever she went, the flame of protest had leaped up in the hearts of men; her story was a veritable Odyssey of revolt." \n\nWhen Sinclair wrote these words, Mother Jones was one of the most famous women in America. Articles about her regularly appeared in magazines and newspapers, and for many working Americans, she had achieved legendary, even iconic, status. Yet the woman for whom Mother Jones magazine is named is scarcely known any longer. Some might recognize her name, know something about her activism on behalf of working people, or even recall her famous war cry: "Pray for the dead, and fight like hell for the living." But few remember much about Mother Jones, who battled corporate presidents and politicians, who went to jail repeatedly for organizing workers, and who converted tens of thousands of Americans to the labor movement and the left. \n\nFor a quarter of a century, she roamed America, the Johnny Appleseed of activists. She literally had no permanent residence. "My address is like my shoes," she told a congressional committee. "It travels with me wherever I go." She was paid a stipend by the United Mine Workers and, for a few years, by the Socialist Party. But she always felt free to work in whatever cause most needed her -- striking garment workers in Chicago, bottle washers in Milwaukee breweries, Pittsburgh steelworkers, El Paso streetcar operators, Calumet copper miners. She helped workers fight not just low pay, 12-hour days, and horrifying mortality rates, but also the servitude of company stores and company housing. She also spoke out in defense of IWW leaders on trial for murder in Boise (she was one of the original signers of the Industrial Workers of the World charter), labor activists imprisoned in California, and Mexican revolutionaries in Arizona.

Would you help someone in need you didn't know if asked?  Could you help them without passing judgment on them

This is a tough question theoretically, but in reality easy, as virtually everyone WOULD judge him (whether they like to admit it or not) as they would have the entire picture at once -- not little by litle. Nearly all handicapped people are fiercely independant and most would never ask for help. That action of itself lends to the theory of enabling. That said, I have been in this situation many times and no, I have not enabled. I have purchased clothing and food, but never alcohol. Nor have I carried it to the counter for them. I have also given transportation when needed. But I am 6' and very capable of taking care of myself whereas I have strongly recommended to my daughter and wife (much smaller individuals) to never place themselves in that position of risk. Most people now have cell phones and can call a cab and even prepay for it if necessary. I've been a medic for nearly 25 years and yes, I've had to take care of many of them and no, it isn't particularly pleasant to render medical assistance (particularly CPR) to an intoxicated and/or dirty person. But that's my choice and I just hope that, although I take pains to NOT be inebriated or filthy, that one day when I need it someone takes care of me...

Do men really read maps better than women?

I do not think the question of better applies.  Consider the matter this way: The human mind in general has been deemed as equivalent organ between the sexes; with respect to its general psychological functions.  However, when incorporating real-world data one can see that maps over-the-span-of-human-time have basically been of the males' world.  Like hunters during the hunting and gathering times, travelers to places afar, explorers charting new lands, and the like, therefore, safe to say males as a group still do yet read more maps than do females.  I've no doubt there exists a female such as she can equally well read and interpret a specific map as can the best male.

Will West Brom get relegated this season?

Even though they are above Birmingham in the Premier League, I don't think they have much of a chance. They still have matches against the Spurs, Liverpool & Arsenal, & these are just the bigger clubs! Unless they make a good show of the rest of the matches (Bolton, Everton, Newcastle), they're definitely getting relegated...


If you think you have the best boyfriend/husband ever.. or u think ur the best boyfriend answer this?

My boyfriend and I have been dating for 2 and half years, and I have never once caught him looking at another female. Girls come onto him all the time. He used to work at a restaurant and all the waitresses would hit on him and ask him out and he would tell them about me and how much he loves me. All his friends ever say to me is how he is so committed to me and is so in love with me. If you catch your boyfriend looking at women, talk to him and tell him how it makes you feel and tell him that it hurts you when you see him looking at other girls.

Where is a great honeymoon spot other than Hawaii?

A lot depends on your personal taste...if you would like a quiet beach get-a-way then Punta Cana may be perfect.

If you choose an itinerary that stops in Jamaica you can also visit a Sandals or Couples Resort for the day at a nominal fee.

Either get a starguide book or google for on the internet and it will tell you the position of the stars and planets in the sky.  It should let you figure out there exact position for the sky where you live any for any day and time you want to look.  There are also many programs that you can get for your computer that do that and more!  Google has great maps of the moon and there are many astronomy web sites or forums where you can learn lots about the planets, stars, how to use your telescope and lots of other cool stuff!  Hope you have fun with your new toy!!

What is the biochemical activity of Wee1?

Wee1 is a kinase which inhibits cdc2/cdk1 kinase activity, via phosphorylation at Y15.  This residue is dephosphorylated by Cdc25C phosphatase and allows entry into mitosis (or meiotic progression).  It's so called because S Pombe mutants became 'wee' or small due to the mutation of this gene, implying it's role in the cell cycle (specifically mitosis).  \n\nIt's discussed in most cell biology texts.\nie here\nhttp://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Search&db=books&doptcmdl=GenBookHL&term=wee1+AND+mcb%5Bbook%5D+AND+106201%5Buid%5D&rid=mcb.section.3496#3501


do you believe in aliens and other life forms on other planets?  or have you seen a UFO?

Yes, I fully believe there is life on other planets.  What it took to create life on Earth was not favored to happen.  The odds that Earth would hold any life at all are too small to comprehend.  But we do not know how large the universe is.  We do know that there are trillions of planets, trillions of galaxies, trillions of stars.  The odds that there is not a speck of life on any of those planets is also extremely small.\n\nI must admit that I have seen a UFO, which occurred last year.  I was driving my friends home from a party and I happen to look in the sky to see a bright white diamond-shaped object.  There were four individual diamond lights that made up the overall shape.  I was astounded, and I knew it was not anything that the United States had admitted to having.  I could name every military jet, helicopter, blimp, and passanger aircraft that I see, but I could not for the life of me figure out what it was.  I immediately turned around and drove to follow it.  Within five-ten seconds, the craft had flown so fast that the lights had disappeared (I watched it the entire time).  I'm not saying it was extra-terrestrial, but it was a UFO.  I live in Cleveland, by the way.

Something like this will measure extremely small intervals of time:\n\nDateTime dtStart = DateTime.Now;\n\n//Do operations here\n\nint iElapsed_Time = DateTime.Now.Millisecond - dtStart.Millisecond;\n\n\nAt this point, iElapsed_Time will be Milliseconds between the start and end. If you need smaller intervals than that, then Good Luck


what does s triple buffering,v sync and antialaising has effect on graphical performance?

antialaising. it enhances the graphics but reduces the performance. it smoothens the edges of graphics to a straight line. removes the staircase effect. it is avialabe in 2x 4x upto 16x \nVsync. it gives smooth frame rate.improves the overall play but may reduce performance. keep it to application controlled\ntripple buffering. it only helps when the computer resources are available for buffering and computational power is available it enhances performance and gives smooth frame rate but if the GPU is overloaded then it is really a sucker on the resources.

Johan Vaaler, a Norwegian inventor with a degree in electronics, science and mathematics, invented the paperclip in 1899. He received a patent for his design from Germany in 1899, since Norway had no patent laws at that time. Johan Vaaler was an employee at a local invention office when he invented the paperclip. He received an American patent in 1901 -- patent abstract  "It consists of forming same of a spring material, such as a piece of wire, that is bent to a rectangular, triangular, or otherwise shaped hoop, the end parts of which wire piece form members or tongues lying side by side in contrary directions." Johan Vaaler was the first person to patent a paperclip design, although other unpatented designs might have existed first.\n\nAmerican inventor, Cornelius J. Brosnan filed for an American patent for a paperclip in 1900. He called his invention the "Konaclip". \n\nManufacturing Ltd. of England who first designed the double oval shaped standard looking paperclip. This familiar and famous paperclip, was and still is referred to as the "Gem" clip. William Middlebrook, of Waterbury, Connecticut, patented a machine for making paper clips of the Gem design in 1899. The Gem paperclip was never patented.\n\nPeople have been re-inventing the paperclip over and over again. The designs that have been the most successful are the "Gem" with it's double oval shape, the "Non-Skid" which held in place well, the "Ideal" used for thick wads of paper, and the "Owl" the paperclip that did not get tangled up with other paperclips.\n\nnote: During World War II, Norwegians were prohibited from wearing any buttons with the likeness or initials of their king on them. In protest they started wearing paperclips, because paperclips were a Norwegian invention whose original function was to bind together. This was a protest against the Nazi occupation and wearing a paperclip could have gotten you arrested.  =-)

how do individuals get extra chromosomes ?

There are a couple of ways to get extra chromosomes.  Probably the most common way is related to something called "non-disjunction" during meiosis, the process by which the body makes sex cells.  When the sex cells are being produced, the number of chromosomes are doubled and then get splint into four gametes.  If they don't split up correctly, you can end up with a cell that has either too many or too few chromosomes.  If this sex cell goes on to produce a fetus, it will have either too many or too few chromosomes.

i don't think it has anything to do with age i think it has to do with maturity level. if you are ready and mature enough at 18 and know what you are getting into and want to do it i say go for it. because it doesn't matter what the age its how mature you are. because i know several younger people who have gotten married and the more mature ones made it out fine but the ones who weren't quite ready only lasted a year or two, if that. although if you are not ready and don't know what to expect i would say wait.

Can Anyone Please explain me rotational motion!?

Rotational motion is similar to circular motion, except the object involved is a rigid body in which all points rotate around the center of mass of the object and not around a fixed point.\n\nRotational motion can be pure rotational motion or a combination of translation and rotation.\n\nPure rotational motion is circular movement in which all points in the body move in circles, and that the centers of these circles all lie on a line called the axis of rotation. Pure Rotation is caused by an arrangement called a 'force couple'. This is where two equal and opposite forces act on the object from an equal [perpendicular]distance apart.\n\nTranslation and Rotation is caused by a single force which does not pass directly through the center of mass. The center of mass will move in a straight line, meanwhile, all points of the object will rotate about the center of mass.<

Advertise.....!!!!\n\nThis is the simply answer, but if you have a zero budget then this limits things some what.\n\nTry 'banner exchange' with similar sites to yours.\n\nOld fashion 'do it yourself' advertisements in your local area or a little further afield.\n\nThis is the main problem facing new websites, no matter how good their may be, getting the word out is not easy.\n\nSubmit your site to as many search engines as possible and pay particular attention to 'Mega-Tags' etc.\n\nIf you have a small amount of cash then enhanced rating and 'Stand Out' options are available with many such popular search engines.\n\nYahoo offer good services for website and online company advertisements! Check it out directly from the Yahoo Homepage.\n\nHope this helps a little.\n\nBest of luck!\n\nMichael
