What is osteoporosis? What causes it ? How can it be prevented?

Osteoporosis, bone condition characterized by a decrease in mass, resulting in bones that are more porous and more easily fractured than normal bones. Fractures of the wrist, spine, and hip are most common; however, all bones can be affected. White females are the most susceptible, but other risk factors include low calcium intake; inadequate physical activity; certain drugs, such as corticosteroids; and a family history of the disease.\n\nThe most common form of the disease, primary osteoporosis, includes postmenopausal, or estrogen-deficient, osteoporosis (Type I), which is observed in women whose ovaries have ceased to produce the hormone estrogen; age-related osteoporosis (Type II), which affects those over the age of 70; and idiopathic osteoporosis, a rare disorder of unknown cause that affects premenopausal women and men who are middle-aged or younger. Secondary osteoporosis may be caused by bone disuse as a result of paralysis or other conditions, including weightlessness in space; endocrine and nutritional disorders, including anorexia nervosa; specific disease processes; and certain drug therapies. \n\nRecent research has shown that the development of osteoporosis is also related to a gene that determines the type of vitamin D receptor (VDR) a person inherits. The VDR gene exists in two forms, one of which produces a receptor that stores calcium more efficiently than the other. People who inherit two copies of the more efficient VDR gene develop high bone densities. Those who inherit two copies of the less efficient gene have somewhat less strong bones.\n\nPrevention and treatment of osteoporosis include synthetic estrogen or progestin therapy or both for postmenopausal women, intake of calcium and other nutrients, weight-bearing exercise, and drugs such as calcitonin and alendronate sodium, a nonhormonal treatment for osteoporosis. In December 1997 a new synthetic estrogen called raloxifene was approved for treating osteoporosis. Like other estrogen therapies, raloxifene increases bone density, but with fewer side effects than earlier types of synthetic estrogen.


what are the 3 types of response in the immune system?

The immune system is composed of many interdependent cell types that collectively protect the body from bacterial, parasitic, fungal, viral infections and from the growth of tumor cells. Many of these cell types have specialized functions. The cells of the immune system can engulf bacteria, kill parasites or tumor cells, or kill viral-infected cells. Often, these cells depend on the T helper subset for activation signals in the form of secretions formally known as cytokines, lymphokines, or more specifically interleukins. The purpose of this article is to review the organs, cell types and interactions between cells of the immune system as a commentary on their importance and interdependence on the T helper subset. Such an understanding may help comprehend the root of immune deficiencies, and perceive potential avenues that the immune system can be modulated in the case of specific diseases.

Can someone explain refinancing to me, When do you refinance and what is a good interest rate?

When the interest rate changes downward and you have a loan that you pay a higher rate is the only time to consider it simply to save money.\n\nThe problem is that you have to pay loan origination fees, and possibly points (if you are paying points then the rate really wasn't lower like you thought). So there is some rate that gets eaten just to break even. I don't have any exact numbers, but what you do is take the fees and compare to the monthly income stream that makes the loan different. \n\nIt is very important to take into account the extra payments at the end of the loan. If you only owe for 27 years on your 30 year loan and you get a new 30 year loan then you have 3 extra years of payments. These are way out there and so the interest rate drops the value in todays dollars, but you still need to take it into account.\n\nUsing a financial calculator or spreadsheet you can then calculate the interest rate you would in effect be getting on the "refinancing investment" you are considering. If the rate is high enough to be better than any other option you could spend your money on (opportunity cost) then refinance. \n\nSometimes you can add these new fees to the loan and you owe more, so be sure that you don't do this without realizing it (add it into the spreadsheet calculations). In fact this is sometimes actually the main reason to do it.\n\nIf you own a rental property that has appreciated in value you can refinance it with a new loan for the specific purpose of getting the money out. You will have a higher amount owed and therefore a higher monthly payment, but presumably the income has gone up and can support the higher payments. Then as the expert real estate investor you can earn a much higher rate with your new cash or you just wanted some income without being taxed. Either way its a cool thing to do. \n\nTax free money for equity, gotta love it.


how do find the domain and range of this y=4/7x-13?

You got it quite confusing! Did you mean\n(a) y=4/7x-13 or (b) y=4/(7x-13) ??\n\n(a)\n\ny = 4/7x - 13    (-13 is not on the denominator!)\nThe range is the set of all possible values of y and\nthe domain is the set of all possible values of x, but a denominator cannot have a value of 0, so 7x cannot be 0\nand x cannot be 0.\n\nDomain={x/x E R, x is not equal to 0}\nTo get the range, solve for x in terms of y.\n\ny=4/7x-13\n7xy = 4 - 91x\n7xy + 91x = 4\n7x(y + 13) = 4\nx = 4/(7(y + 13))\n\n7(y + 13) cannot be equal to 0, so\n(y + 13) is not equal to 0 \ntherefore, y is not equal to -13\n\nRange={y/y E R, y is not equal to -13}\n\n(b)\n\nUsing the same procedure, you will get\n\nDomain={x/x E R, x is not equal to 13/7)\nRange={y/y E R, y is not equal to 0}\n\nc",

Why is the western world scared of standing up to Islamic Fundamentalists?

There is a difference between Islamic Fundamentalists and Islamic Fundamentalist  Terrorist's.  The terrorist'sare spread out between all the Muslim Countries, yet there is no country that is terrorist alone.  So we actually have a war against an ideal and not against a particular country.  The terrorist backing is growing and the fact that they use things such as the political cartoons as reasons to get thousands of people to protest over them.  One does not know exactly who the enemy actually is.  That is what terrorism is all about one minute everything looks completely innocent and the next you have been attacked and there is nobody left on sight to go after, they have died completing their mission.  Can we surgically remove all of this cancer on mankind without killing many innocent?  It is not very likely but it is the direction that we have taken this war.  We certainly have the weapons to remove all of the people of this region of the world several times over.  One must wonder if the terrorists are not also playing to the hearts and minds of the rest of the Islamic Fundamentalist's when many of the rioter's of the past week have chanted bin Ladens name and asked for retaliation against the western world to be carried out by him.  It would seem to me that our government certainly must be looking at these incidents very carefully.  I can not speak for the rest of the Western World, however I know that the U.S. has the power to destroy the world several times over and could certainly remove most Islamic Fundamentalist's in one swift blow and it is our restaint in wanting to be fair that keeps this from happening.  Most of today's terrorist activity is being aimed at other Muslims and not at the western world, which raises a whole list of other questions.  The answer to your question is the U.S. is not afraid of standing up to Islamic Fundamentalist Terrorist's, however that does not include the entire Muslim population in the world.


how can i forget some1 i like? i see him once every 2 weeks and i think he wants me just for sex. :(?

first I wanted to answer "then have sex, take the pleasure from him, and go forward someone new..." but i can see that you're interested in that person more than just for an one night satnd... so, you should decide for you, whether you take the risc that you'll have sex and then nothing, or that maybe he is interested in you too, and you'll get yourself involved in something beautiful... I think you should take that risk, and approach him... the only thing you loose is a little of your self confidence... but who doesn't risks, doesn't drink champaign... good luck!

What meals can i cook up to clear up my acne?

Refined carbs/sugar = more insulin = more hormones = more sebum (oil) = more bacteria = more acne\n\nWe're always being told that a diet of pizza and chocolate doesn't cause acne, which may be true to a certain extent, but certain foods can aggravate acne. Simply by cutting down on the foods that can aggravate acne and eating more foods that can help alleviate acne your skin condition will improve.\n\nPeople with skin that is susceptible to acne can benefit from eating a wide range of fresh fruit, vegetables, nuts and seeds. These foods have been found to be beneficial in helping reduce acne.\n\nFor good skin health, you need plenty of antioxidants (vitamin A (mainly from beta-carotene), vitamins C and E and selenium), B vitamins, vitamin D, calcium, potassium, phosphorus, chloride, magnesium, zinc, iron and sodium. A diet high in beta-carotene and zinc can be especially beneficial to acne. Men with acne can also benefit from extra selenium. Having plenty of the right minerals and vitamins will also help your skin by speeding up the healing process and spots and scarring will fade more quickly. \n\nDrink at least 2 litres of still mineral water daily. Drinking plenty of water helps reduce acne by flushing toxins out of your system and keeping your kidneys, liver and bowel functioning effectively. A sluggish digestive system is often linked to acne. Drinking plenty of water and eating lots of fibre in the form of fruit and vegetables will keep your insides healthy. Water will also help keep your skin supple and hydrated. Dehydrated skin can become dry and flaky, the skin's natural exfoliation slows down and pores become blocked which in turn can cause spots.

I would like to know the social implications of employee benifit plans ?

It isn't very simple.  They are compensation and that is it.  It is their special tax status that should be what you consider in terms of social implications.  Because of abuse, Congress has seen fit to regulate the plans, but has in effect determined the possible range of compensation programs available.  There are probably plans that could exist, but do not because they are outside the regulations.  Likewise, there is definitely broader access to health care due to Congressional activity.  Importantly, it has freed the sick from being forced to reamin with a specific employer, allowing them to go to the most productive work available.  You should read the background of the Heinz Company, the inventor of employee benefits.  You should also get a comparitive look at cross-cultural plans and expectations.  They do reduce individual responsibility by placing choice burdens on the back of employers.

which have more Influence  on students, friends or parents?  and why?

It depends how the relationship between the parent and student is. You know all those drug commercials about the bossy parents who try to control the lives of their kids? I have seen by experience that those parents usually create the problems that they are suspecting, because the student thinks "If they already think I'm going to do drugs / sneak out / etc, why not just do it?" On the other hand, parents who are open with their kids, and firm but fair, and give good non judgemental advice usually have a pretty good chance of influencing decisions.


what is the source of e-voting and the first country to adopt the system ?

I believe it can be done, and eliminate some of the corruption in our current Representative government or restoreing as much majority will back to the people as they can responciably can handle. If it means re-writing our constitution then so be it, better then current lawmaking that fleeces our public! Brasil and Estonia are currently doing e-voting! Do they have a secure method?

BACKSWING - - - How much should you take?

I try to make my backswing as compact "small" as necessary so as not to fundamentally break down in my mechanics.  I always try to maintain a full follow through whenever possible.  Against serve and volleyers this can sometimes be tough.  With a smaller backswing it allows me more set up time so I can handle shots with lots of pace.  More often it is the clay court players that have longer backswings.  Growing up on hard-courts I have made mine more compact.

I own a sole proprietership and want to change business over to an LLC. Can this be done? is there a cost?

Many entrepreneurs begin with a sole proprietorship, which is to say that they begin by doing business as the single owner of an unincorporated company. As such, a sole proprietorship is not a registered legal entity that is separate from its owner and therefore cannot technically be "changed" or converted to a limited liability company or a corporation, for that matter.\n\nInstead the sole proprietorship would cease to exist, and you would form a new LLC to conduct business. The cost involved comes from the filing of formal paperwork, usually called articles of organization, and the filing fee ranges from $40 to $900, depending on the state.

On what day of the week was Christ crucified?

I believe Scripture that He was in the tomb for 3 days & 3 nights. Even though we don't know exactly when the Resurrection occurred - when the disciples got to the tomb Sunday morn, it was already empty... it probably occurred about when the Sabbath rest ended Saturday at sunset & probably before midnight Saturday night. It is convoluted theology to expect that God would wait past midnight to schedule the resurrection on Sunday - the pagan day of worship - God has never tolerated anything pagan mixed in with His worship. The reason Christians worship on Sunday is because Emperor Constantine (practicing pagan until he was baptized on his death bed) decreed that the Sabbath must be desecrated in the Roman Empire and that Sunday would be the day of rest & worship for all, no matter what their religion. His decree called it "the venerable day of the sun god" & made NO mention of God, Jesus, Christ, Resurrection... or anything Christian. And his puppet Pope, Sylvester, rubber-stamped all of Constantine's heresies.\n\nCounting back from sunset on Saturday, you get a Wednesday Crucifixion! He would have been in the tomb Wed sunset to Thurs sunset (1st full nite & day), Thurs sunset to Fri sunset (2nd full nite & day), & Fri sunset to Sat sunset [THE SABBATH] (3rd nite & day).\n\nThere are many references in the NT to believers (i.e. "followers" of the Messiah & His Way) meeting on "the first day of the week"... which starts right after sunset on Saturday! One of the references is that Paul preached until midnight on the first day a the week - it doesn't say to droned on for 24 hours, or for even 12 hours (or whatever) on Sunday, he preached from after sunset to midnight on Saturday.


After effects of Mount St Helens eruption - formation of new oil and coal deposits? (more)...?

Is Google's valuation more inflated than Yahoo's?

According to Yahoo finance: GOOG's PE is 50 with a PEG (PE to earnings growth ratio) of 2.25.  The same statistics for YHOO are 48 and 2.4, making the two stocks fairly comparable in these respects.  In addition, GOOG has less short interest than YHOO at present.  One major difference is that YHOO is more mature than GOOG and provides earnings guidance, making their stock movements likely less volatile.  Alternatively, the general expectation for GOOG is faster growth and penetration into new market segments for growth.  So, is GOOG overpriced now?  Probably not based on growth metrics, but clearly GOOG has higher expectations (at least prior to yesterday) and is more expensive than YHOO on fundamental valuation.  Both have good prospects in the long-term.

what's the definition of computer literacy in education?

Understanding computers and related systems. It includes a working vocabulary of computer and information system components, the fundamental principles of computer processing and a perspective for how non-technical people interact with technical people. The term has been attributed to Andrew Molnar in the early 1970s. He was director of the Office of Computing Activities at the National Science Foundation.\n\nNot the Electronics\nComputer literacy does not deal with how the computer works (digital circuits), but does imply knowledge of how the computer does its work (calculate, compare and copy). It requires a conceptual understanding of systems analysis & design, application programming, systems programming and datacenter operations. It also implies hands-on ability to work the operating system (Windows, Mac, Linux) and common applications such as spreadsheets, word processors, database programs, personal information managers (PIMs), e-mail programs and Web browsers.\n\nInformation Requirements Is a Key\n\nTo be a computer literate manager, you must be able to define information requirements effectively and have an understanding of decision support tools, such as query languages, report writers, spreadsheets and financial planning systems. To be truly computer literate, you must understand all the entries under "standards" in this Encyclopedia, and that is a sure cure for insomnia!

When an object falls, it gains energy.  From where does this energy come?

It doesn't gain energy, but rather it gains velocity as gravity pulls down on it.  As it falls, the air below it pushes back against the gravity (called resistance), and the faster the object falls, the more air pressure pushes upward. This continues until their is a balance in force between the force of gravity and the force of resistance, at which time there is no increase in either pull on the object, and it remains traveling at that constant velocity until impact.  This concept is known as terminal velocity.


*Hunting a lil bit* Biodiesel refers to any diesel-equivalent biofuel made from renewable materials such as vegetable oils or animal fats. Several different kinds of fuels are called biodiesel: usually biodiesel refers to an ester, or an oxygenate, made from the oil and methanol, but alkane (non-oxygenate) biodiesel, that is, biomass-to-liquid (BTL) fuel is also available.\n\nBiodiesels are biodegradable and non-toxic, and have significantly fewer emissions than petroleum-based diesel (petro-diesel) when burned. Biodiesel functions in current diesel engines, and is a possible candidate to replace fossil fuels as the world's primary transport energy source.\n\nProduction\nChemically, biodiesel comprises a mix of mono-alkyl esters of long chain fatty acids. The most common form uses methanol to produce methyl esters as it is the cheapest alcohol available, though ethanol can be used to produce an ethyl ester biodiesel and higher alcohols such as isopropanol and butanol have also been used. Using alcohols of higher molecular weights improves the cold flow properties of the resulting ester, at the cost of a less efficient transesterification reaction. A byproduct of the transesterification process is the production of glycerol. A lipid transesterification production process is used to convert the base oil to the desired esters. Any Free fatty acids (FFAs) in the base oil are either converted to soap and removed from the process, or they are esterified (yielding more biodiesel) using an acidic catalyst. After this processing, unlike straight vegetable oil, biodiesel has combustion properties very similar to those of petroleum diesel, and can replace it in most current uses.\n\nBase oils\nSoybeans are used as a source of biodiesel\nA variety of biolipids can be used to produce biodiesel. These include:\n    * Virgin oil feedstock; rapeseed and soybean oils are most commonly used, though other crops such as mustard, palm oil, hemp and even algae show promise;\n    * Waste vegetable oil (WVO);\n    * Animal fats including tallow, lard, yellow grease and as a byproduct from the production of Omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil.\n\nWorldwide production of vegetable oil and animal fat is not yet sufficient to replace liquid fossil fuel use. Furthermore, some environmental groups (notably the Natural Resources Defense Council), object to the vast amount of farming and the resulting over-fertilization, pesticide use, and land use conversion that would be needed to produce the additional vegetable oil.

I am trying to get a copy of my w-2 tax forms form landrys restaurant, how can i recieve this information.?

They were legally obligated to at least mail out your W2 by yesterday (1/31).  If they did not, you may need to contact the IRS to see what it is that you can do to estimate the earnings for your own tax return.\n\nYou could also contact the restaurant or the owners to see how you can get it.


what is the best way to get rid of flying squirrels in you attic?

Is that the same as "bats in your belfry?"  Seriously, find out how they are getting in there, find out what they like to eat (squirrel chow perhaps), and sprinkle it near their entrance.  Once you're sure they're all out, seal the hole.  But for goodness sake, whatever you do, be humane!  They're just doing what we do...trying to survive.  So please, don't do anything to harm them.  If you seek a professional person to get the job done, insist on humane (non-lethal) methods.


How fast do I have to flap my arms to fly?

you could flap your arms all day long a (BMPH) Billion Miles Per hour.heheh And you never get lift. See to under stand how birds fly you have to understand a birds body. First off a birds bones are hollow. Meaning less weight. Secondly the birds wings are shaped like a windfoil which gives lift. to explan how a wing works we will go into alittle physics of flight. To understand flight you have to understand how the wing is designed. \n\nfirst take a peice of postit note from one of the 5x3 inch pads. you need a pensile. bring the bottom side of the post it note to the top side where it is sticky. stick it together. Now you have a piece of paper simular to a tear drop. what you going to do is run the pencle between the opening to the other side. let the pice of paper float freely. hold the pencile with both hands one on one side of the paper and the other on the other side of the paper. Not put the not about 5 inches in front of your mouth and blow. Notice what happens the paper lifts. This is what is called lift. This is how birds fly. basicly when you blow on the paper the under side high presure goes under and low presure goes over the top. We will call it a win for now. But pending on how the wind is hitting it will depend on what direction the wing will go. If the tail end is faced up then the wing will go down it it's faced down the wing will go up. When it goes up that is called lift. and thats how birds fly.

ACLU suing to kick Boy Scouts out of everywhere. Did you know that?

Please refrain from generalizations like that.\n\nMany law suits follow any public or private organization.\n\nThe scouting program won a case years ago that stated that the BSA is a PRIVATE organization. As such, they have control over their own membership requirements and actions.\n\nCivil Liablility Union has every right to find things that may be against ITS own beliefs. If ACLU choses to nit pick the private BSA group, then so be it.\n\nDo your best to give the scouts the best moral standards they deserve. Don't worry about what what another organization is suing for.

I am a Senior Financial analyst,  how can I transition over to Business Intelligence analyst/administror?

Hi, You need to find the skill sets for that position.  Once you do that you should try matching up your personal experience to those skill sets.  In regards to SAP it id very difficult to settle into that type of position because of the vast amount of experience that is needed.  You may want to start looking at vendors of SAP/ HYPERION/ HP and such, become an Account Manager and move into an analyst position that way.

Why do you deny the existence of God? What do you want to put in his place?

God. (cheating) This explanation is what everyone eventually resorts to when the other answers fail. Now, before I go any further, I should make clear that I'm not talking about any of the gods defined in various religions. Throughout all of human history, we've been trying to explain existence. But nobody has ever succeeded. And it's likely that nobody ever will. So we create the concept of God, whose only necessary property is being "that which explains existence." \n\nThis doesn't tell us much about god, though. It doesn't mean that any particular religion is correct. It merely defines god as something which answers The Question, because we have not been able to.

do boys or girls have a better comperhension of vocabulary?

Based on an analysis of 74 tests given to 12th graders nationally, Cole and fellow researchers found that females perform better in nine areas, males perform better in five areas. Girls are strongest in verbal/language skills, boys strongest in mechanical/electronic and math concepts. Girls have cut the math/science gap to only one--fourth of what it was 30 years ago, but over that time boys abilities' in verbal skills have not improved.

To poor  to get a lawyer..make to much for any legal aid???

Sorry this is so long, but bear with me.\n\nThe law begins with the premise that you are the father and share in the obligations of your own child's upbringing. What you are asking is to have an exception or an easing of the costs based on need because of financial strain or unfairness due to the inequity of paychecks. Your side will be the one to have to convince and persuade because her side has law. In the end, even a good persuasive argument may not stand if there are no laws with which to draw on in your favor.\n\nLook closely at your side then. I am not trying to attack your side by these questions. I am merely saying that such questions may be asked by the legal decision makers or legal financil aid providers and you need to know your side has the strength to convince. Here are some questions to be prapared on:\n\nIs your limited income due to irresponsibility - Did you have to get a new job because you were fired from your old one? Have you wasted reasonable opportunities to have a better job - For example, do you have a degree and qualifications for a better job but chose a low paying job instead?\n\nWill your income likely grow again in the near future - Eight years ago we moved to a new state and my husband had to begin over again on the payscale. We began that first year on less than 18K, but we moved up quickly to now being quite comfortable by regional average income standards. If you are likely to move up in pay, that will be taken into account especially if you are asking to be excused altogether from the burden of support.\n\nHow much money is needed to raise a child in the location in which this child is being raised - Surely 70K/year would be far in excess of expenses where we live and perhaps where you live. However, if your child is being raise in many of the large cities in the Northeast or California it may take about that much to survive there.\n\nIs the $70K all the income from your wife's side? Has she remarried and has her husband's income too? If so, is that 70K a combined income from her own and her husband's income?\n\nHave you provided more than monetary support? Have you been a father beyond the child support payment? If you have been actively engaged in your child's life you will have a more convincing argument than if you haven't had anything to do with him.\n\nWhat were the conditions leading to divorce? Obviously if divorce occured because she was unfaithful you will have a stronger side than if you were unfaithful or abusive. Some would think that if you messed up in these ways you made your own bed and by paying you are reaping what you have sown.\n\nHaving such information as her being able to afford Cancun while you are barely able to afford groceries is very helpful, but make sure no holes can be poked through it. Did she really use the child support money for that vacation? Was the vacation specifically in the child's interest. It doesn't sound like it, but again it is your side that will have to do the proving not hers.\n\nOK. That is the end of the questions. I hope you understand my motives are just to make you realize that you will be the one with the uphill battle. If you are using an overworked public attorney and she has an elite, smooth talking lawyer your side cannot afford to be unprepared for such questions.\n\nI do feel for you. I want to tell a true story that I feel applies when it comes to grace under unjust circumstances. I know a pastor who lovingly was counciling a man who asked him for help. This guy was having a secret affair with the pastor's wife the whole time that this pastor poured his energies into being a help to him. It all came out when she got pregnant. The pastor wanted to save the marriage in spite of it. Instead, she began lying and demanded a divorce. This poor man lost his pastorate becauset he congregation didn't want a divorced man leading their church. Because he lost that job, he couldn't get full custod

Go to an osteopathic physician (one that specializes in Osteopathic Manipulative Therapy).

Relativistic mass is kind of an old concept.  In relativity, energy has inertia associated with it.  An object that is moving has more energy than an object at rest, thus it has more "mass" when it is moving than it does when it is sitting still.  A lot of the old scientists used to differentiate between rest mass and relativistic mass.  The relativistic mass was the extra inertia that the object had due to its motion.  Nobody really thinks about it this way anymore.  Einstein advocated only introducing the concept of rest mass.  This is because the rest mass is the same no matter what your reference frame is, but two observers in different frames won't always agree on the relativistic mass.  When you have a chunk of gold moving at close to the speed of light relative to you, you don't have more gold than you did when you were at rest.  The gold atoms just appear heavier because of their kinetic energy.   Likewise you aren't creating more protons, the protons that you have just look heavier.

What is the best way to get rid of sudden anger?

Well, it's hard to say -- I'm a Anger/Rage Councelor and grew up with Anger/Rage issues and in a home with the same issues so I completely understand -- So it depends on the degree of the anger -- Is it anger or is it a rage? -- People always tell you that anger is wrong -- First of all it's not wrong, it's self defense -- Anger is not evil and it's alright to be angry -- It's what you do with the anger that creates the problems -- When a person is in full blown rage that rage has to be directed somewhere to begin with until it's learned response to control, which will come in time and with age -- I used to go and beat the heak out of pine trees (I hate pine trees) until I come down off the rage high -- And anger/rage does produce and give a high -- And those harmones have to be directed and dealt with -- Just having someone telling you to get over it only makes it worse (always made me worse because I had every right feeling the way I did) -- Then I learned how to identify the factors that would uncontiously lead me to those fits of anger -- I didn't know it at the time, and would have sworn nothing was causing it, but there was -- Frustration from other areas of my life caused it -- Not feeling in control of other areas of my life or things happening to me or to my family or in my family -- Things I couldn't control and things I'd never be able to control -- All I could control was my actions and reactions to things around me -- I could go on and on -- But I would suggest to get a book called "The Anger Workbook" and it will help you start identifing your anger stressers -- And if you would like to talk further you can contact me for free at theangelknight.com -- I have 25 years of counceling experience and a Bachelors Degree plus I'm a State approved Therapeutic Foster Parent -- Helping those with Anger/Rage issues is what I do -- Hope this helps -- Good Luck and Take Care --

or...if instead you are asking what the 0 in a 'subnet mask' stands for...\n\nan IP address is divided into 2 parts to help speed things along in a network...the Network portion and the Node portion (the individual PC's or network devices.)  The 'subnet mask' is used to designate the 2.\n\nThe Portion of the 'Subnet Mask' that is NON-zero is considered the 'Network' portion, while any zeros are the Nodes.\n\ntherefore  with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 (likely the most common one,) it is expected that the first 3 groups will never change, as they are part of the same network.  If you try to add a node to your network and 1 of the first 3 do NOT match the rest, then that node will never acheive a connection to network resourses.\n\nHope that helps !


Does a void have colour? If not why do we say for a space term 'black holes'?

no, it does not. in physics, balck is not a colour. in the visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum, there is no black. a total absence of any colour is represented by black in physics. black holes are so named because they have such a strong gravitational force that they even attract light and do not allow it to escape. hence the name

Is it really necessary to use a SPF of 50 in a sunscreen or does one with a SPF of 30 work just as well????

No, it isn't.  According to our family doctor there isn't really any such thing as an SPF above 29/30.  It is chemically (or physically ... can't remember exactly the science on which he explained his answer)  impossible.  YOu waste your money if you spend more for a higher rating.  The only way the rating could be higher would be if you put it on so thick it forms quite a visible layer all over the body, and who wants to do that?  HOweveer, he does say that brand of sunscreen matters a great deal.  According to him, there are only two brands that really do what they say they will do.  The trendy brands usually don't do what they say they will do.  He advised us to buy only the Ombrelle brand or one other which I cannot remember but will try to get for you.\n\nMy husband has spent many years in the sun and he has precancerous spots now on his head and back, and this advice was because of that condition.


Do you think Dick Cheney should be charged for the accidentally shooting his huntting buddy?

No, he shouldn't.  It was an accident, and if you accidentlly did the same thing in the same circumstances, you wouldn't either.\nBy the way, he did have his hunting license.  He did not however have a stamp for the specific bird that he was hunting.  The stamp that was needed was something that they had just started requiring this year.  As with several other people before him, they are collecting the fee after the fact, because not many people know about it yet.\nSorry, this is something that they are going to be able to throw the Vice President into jail for.  I know this distresses you.


what are the different job duties of a legal secretary, legal assistant and paralegal?

A legal secretary answers phones for her boss, generally does his filing (unless three is a file clerk in the firm) and does typing. If the attorneys she works for are litigators (the kind who actually go to court), she'll also have to know how to file documents with the court. From what I've seen, the duties of legal assistants and paralegals can vary widely from firm to firm and area to area. In the firm I work for, for example, they are all very high level and really do the work of attorneys, but they can't sign legal documents or give legal opinions or advice. In some firms they do mainly research and "grunt" work.

I Still love him, my ex-bf? Although he left me.?

It is hard, but you need to accept the fact that it is over.  The easiest way to start the process is to delete his number out of your cell.  Yep delete it.  You can't stare at it for hours if you don't have his number anymore.  You can't call him/text him and make a fool out of yourself.  \n\nListen to sappy melodramatic cds (early Sarah McLaughlin is a favorite), cry, be bummed.  Eating lots of fattening foods.  Talk your friends ear off.  Put all the stuff he ever gave you (including pictures of you two) in a shoe box and shove it under your bed.  Watch depressing movies.  \n\nIt sucks, but it is a process and you need to just go through it.  It's how we learn and grow.  Over time, it will hurt less and less until years later, you take out that shoebox and go "what a loser!  what was I thinking!?!"


Ive never orgasimed is something wrong with me?

RELAX. Don't worry. Out of the ladies I met, more than 50% of them have this problem. My solution is, have longer oral sex, say for example an hours oral sex.

I bet surely u will get orgsm.. there after have internal sex. again u will get orsm..

Who are going to be the candidates in 2008 election?

On the Democrat side, you'll probably have Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, Elliot Spitzer, John Edwards and Bill Richardson. On the Republican side, Cheney's said twice in the last 4 years he won't run. So it'll probably be Condi Rice, Rudolph Giuliani, John McCain, and George Allen, with maybe Pataki and Huckabee thrown in.


Hillary Duff is a better actress than singer. I don't really like her singing at all actually.

How do I upgrade my USB port on my computer?

Software upgrade is useless (but can be done anyway). The only upgrade i can recommend is to get a PCMCIA USB 2.0 adapter card. But be aware that with this card the speed (e.g. with an external hard disk) will only be increased about 6 times and not 40 times like many vendor promise (PCI specifications for notebooks - they are hardly known!).\n\nPCMCIA USB 2.0 adapter\nhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16839101111

Is a theraputic massage okay for those who have Asthma?

Asthma can be beneficial to those that have asthma.  Regular massage seems to decrease the frequency and intensity of the asthma attacks. According to a massage therapist, eucalyptus drops if put in the massage oil when treating a client with asthma is probably the most effective scent to help reduce the severity of an attack. It can also help to prevent attacks starting by keeping airways moist and so decreasing upper respiratory tract infections. It is also very effective on the back and neck muscles. Of course, it is wise to ask your doctor first if this is ok in your particular case of asthma.

Why did it take the US government a long time to react on the hurricane Katrina Incident?

Reaction was not slow. Implementation and action was slow. Politics got in the way of many things when it should not have.\n\nMistakes were made, but the good thing is that change will result because of it. It must be remembered though that mistakes happen in dealing with ANY crisis. I don't care if it is government, business, or personal. Nothing can be predicted 100%. Influence and control within organizations is also never 100%.\n\nI do not think that there was any conspiracy though. Nothing against African Americans, or New Orleans itself. There was no ill will by Bush, nor by the administration, nor by FEMA, nor by local authorities. Stuff just went wrong.


Why do most women lose their desire for sex after menopause?

Estrogen doesn't have much to do with it, testosterone is the "sex drive hormone" in both men and women.  Menopause reduces this hormone as well, but primarily the physical reason is the vagina no longer lubricates as it once did which in turn makes sexual intercourse uncomfortable.  Using a nice lube will get things sliding again the way they should, and in extreme cases there are "testosterone sprays" or "creams" that can be applied to the area (also known as "Female Viagra").  Any woman remotely interested in continuing her happy sex life after menopause is more than able to with just a bit more effort.

Sure, all mental illnesses can have varying degrees.  Some of your behaviors could be described as OCD-like, but I think the important questions to consider here are: 1) are your "compulsions" interfering with your daily life (do you spend hours and hours making sure each little thing is just perfect), 2) would you consider any of your habits to be harmful (as in washing one's hands 30 times a day to the point where your skin is irritated), and 3)are the things that you are doing actually compusive, or rather just personal preferences that are no cause for alarm?  It sounds, from your breif description, that your habits are merely habits.  Some people enjoy varying degrees of cleanliness and organization, and you just might be at one end of the spectrum.  Unless your cleaning preferences are really disruptive, it sounds like you're just a person who enjoys a certain order in their life.

Is it possible to stay friends with an ex?

GOOD question. It all depedns on both of your levels of maturity and self-restraint. If you had a good freindship before you might be able to keep it up after. Just be willing to distance yourself from him/her in the event you find someone to be intimate with. It never works out with your current man/woman to be spending too much time with the ex. Too much opportunity for "heart string pulling". As long as you have rules and bounderies things should work. I'm fine with my ex. She has the kids, her new girlfriend...No reason to be bitter. It's just how life panned out. Good Luck!

how to I design a web page to fill the browser window in dreamweaver?

That's a really bad idea. By making an image a certain size as a background image you are limiting the number of people that can visit your homepage. Also an image that size would have a very large file size. Very large file sizes like that will exceed the data transfer limit most hosts give ytou very quickly. Also some one using a dialup internet connection will curse you when they visit your site because it would probably take 20 or 30 minutes for the image to load. Aren't visitors hard enough to get as it is?


Is there a way to change your background once a system administrator locks it?

How did the English settlers that came to the Americas lose their accent?

Interesting question.  As you know, language is a living thing. When people settle in regions, they interact closely, and their language subtly shifts.  (That's why Boston, New York, the South etc. have distinctive accents).  Over time, there is more differentiation-and the original accent is blended into a "new accent".  With English, you can see that happened in Australia, New Zealand, India and South Africa (and elsewhere) as well.


hydrogen peroxide is a 3.0% solution, what is its molarity if the density is 1.0g/mL?

since the density is 1 it doesn't matter how the % was calculated. usually you need to be specific.\n3% is 3mls peroxide/100 mls or 30 mls(30gms)/1 L\n30/molar mass = 0.88M for concentration.

I like what has been said.  The whole point of being a Christian (past the salvation part) is to become like Christ.  How do you do this??  Good suggestions have been given, and here are some more:\n-get into the Word every day.  God is going to talk to you through the ultimate "user manual".  \n-Get plugged into a Bible based church.  Get involved!!!  \n-Be open to letting the Spirit help you in life with making choices and reaching out to others.\n-Memorize Scripture- that helps write His Word on your heart, and you will pull that out of your memory when you least expect to.\n-Clean up your "house" bit by bit.  If you wear clothes that are making guys think unholy thoughts, make the choice and wear something else.  If you have a potty mouth, bite your tongue.  We ALL have things that we are working on.  Others will see this change in you, and see how Christ is changing you.  \n-praise God all throughout the day, this helps focus on what He has made good.\n\nI have been praying for you already!

Why do I get hurt when I pick up cheese?

Never take cheese off of one of those.  I learned that the hard way!  You can stick a stuffed toy or something in there to get the metal part to come down.  And then you can get the cheese free of pain.  Those humans who live in your house will be so dumbfounded!  Be sure to watch from around the corner when they come and find that you've outsmarted them.  It is so funny!!!!!!


I`m so sad.I really hope to get a friend or someone who can help me,as like as sharing.May I?

Its OK to be shy, so what if it takes you a while to feel comfortable with new people and new situations. In fact, it can even be helpful to be a little shy. When you're shy, you may spend a little extra time observing the scene before jumping right into it. And you're unlikely to talk to strangers, which you shouldn't do anyway!\nLook up - affirmations - they are good for all of us.\nTell someone about this if your depressed and talk to them. A parent, friend, teacher. Good luck to you and don't worry. Friends happen.

To everyone's opinion, what is Scientology to you?

Absolutely a cult. Just because people are considered stars doesn't mean they're considered well educated or intelligent. Consider the high profile people who tout scientology who are also getting publicity for jumping on sofa's on national television.  That don't impress me much!  It is unfortunate that so many otherwise logical people are so deceived. I believe that Jesus Christ is the only one who raised from the dead...I mean aren't all of the others dead...budda, confusious, etc...People need to get into the truth, not into what just "feels good"...Perception of the truth does not alter the truth...give Jesus a call...he's expecting you...

I concur with the first 2 responders.  There is however a way you can use leverage without borrowing money. I am reporting this only to complete the answer.  I am not recommending it.  That is to buy calls or puts, especially out of the money calls and puts. It is best illustrated by an example.\n\nDevon Oil trades at say about $62 a share. I am guessing.\nYou can purchase an April call at $65 for $5. Another guess.\nIf Devon goes to $75 before the April expiration your call will be worth $10. You will have doubled your money whereas if you had purchased the stock you would have only increased your money by 21%. That is leverage.  You, however, will have noticed that if Devon does not rise to $70 by the expiration date, you loose money. However, the price swings of options, especially options of volitile stocks such as the oil stocks can be dramatic.  Also the price drop of an option in relation to the price drop of the underlying stock is generally less on options with long expiration dates, but the price rise is generally greater. \n\nLets say you bought the option for $5.00 tomarrow.  During the next five day Devon rises $5.00 a share to $67. That price swing has probably happened a dozen times during the last year. Your option will probably trade at $7.50, a 50% increase in a week. But the stock rose only 8%.

Just in case you want a serious answer, men have nipples because during the early days of a person’s development (fetus) everyone is female. Males become males later due to hormones. The nipples are created before the hormones kick in.

Do you think that Islam is religion of violence or most muslims misunderstand the real teaching of islam ?

What Does Islam Say About "Forcing People in Religion?"\n\nA basic and fundamental truth established by the sacred texts of Islam (Quran and Hadeeth) is that: - "No one can be compelled to accept Islam!"\n\nIt is the duty of the Muslims to establish proof of validity of Islam to the people in order for the truth to be distinct from falsehood. Once that is done, whoever wishes to accept Islam may do so and whoever wishes to continue upon their belief may do so. No one is to be threatened or harmed in any way should they chose not to accept Islam.\n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nNote: It is not only forbidden to compel someone to accept Islam - it is impossible to do so.\n\nPlease consider the meaning of the word"Islam" before continuing to read: \n['Islam'; Ar. from the root 'slm' (silm), to be in peaceful submission; to surrender; to obey; peace; "Islam" lit. 'The active willful surrender, submission, obedience, in purity to the will of another (Allah) in complete peace.']\n\nThe understanding from the meaning of the word "Islam" itself makes it clear that there is no way that you could possibly force someone to do something that requires them to do it of their own free will and accord. If someone were "forced to enter Islam" then it would not be "Islam" anyway, as a condition of "Islam" is that it is by free choice in peace. Forcing people into Islam is totally illogical and certainly not acceptable in concept nor practice.\n\nMore about the word "Islam" [click]\n[Y. Estes]\n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nIt is the duty and obligation of the Muslims to establish the truth and proofs of Islam and then allow others the freedom of choice to accept or reject the proofs.\n\nThere are two principle sources of proof for the Muslim. They are:\n\nThe Quran - considered by Muslims to be the absolute Speech or Recitation of Allah, the Almighty. ('Quran' Ar. from the root; qr'a: to recite; Quran; lit. "That which is recited"). More about Quran . . . [click]\n\nThe Hadeeth - teachings of Muhammad, peace be upon him. (hadeeth - Ar. meaning, stories or narrations. The hadeeths have been collected, authenticated [in collections by Bukhari and Muslim called 'sahih', categorized, preserved and memorized for over 1,400 years; all in the original language [Arabic]). More about Hadeeth . . . [click]\n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\nAmong the many decisive pieces of evidence in Islam to prove that "There is no compulsion in Islam" are the following: \nAllah says in His Quran: “Let there be no compulsion in religion. Truth has been made clear from error. Whoever rejects false worship and believes in Allah has grasped the most trustworthy handhold that never breaks. And Allah hears and knows all things.” [Surah al-Baqarah: 256]\n\nAllah also says in Quran: “If it had been your Lord’s will, all of the people on Earth would have believed. Would you then compel the people so to have them believe?” [Surah Yunus: 99]\n\nAnd Allah says: “So if they dispute with you, say ‘I have submitted my whole self to Allah, and so have those who follow me.’ And say to the People of the Scripture and to the unlearned: ‘Do you also submit yourselves?’ If they do, then they are on right guidance. But if they turn away, your duty is only to convey the Message. And in Allah’s sight are all of His servants.” [Surah Al `Imran: 20]\n\nAllah The Almighty has also said: “The Messenger’s duty is but to proclaim the Message.” [Surah Al-Maidah: 99]\n\nIt is important to note that these last two verses were revealed in Madinah. This is significant, since it shows that the ruling they gave was not just contingent on the Muslims being in

Unemployment Insurance Taxes\n\nUnemployment Insurance (UI) is a federal-state program jointly financed through federal and state employer payroll taxes (federal/state UI tax). Generally, employers must pay both state and federal unemployment taxes if: (1) they pay wages to employees totaling $1500, or more, in any quarter of a calendar year; or, (2) they had at least one employee during any day of a week during 20 weeks in a calendar year, regardless of whether or not the weeks were consecutive. However, some state laws differ from the federal law and employers should contact their state workforce agencies to learn the exact requirements.\n\n\nFederal Unemployment Tax Act\n\nThe Federal Unemployment Tax Act (FUTA), authorizes the Internal Revenue Service to collect a federal employer tax used to fund state workforce agencies. Employers pay this tax annually by filing IRS Form 940. FUTA covers the costs of administering the UI and Job Service programs in all states. In addition, FUTA pays one-half of the cost of extended unemployment benefits (during periods of high unemployment) and provides for a fund from which states may borrow, if necessary, to pay benefits.\nFederal Tax Rate\n\nThe FUTA tax rate is 6.2% of taxable wages. The taxable wage base is the first $7,000 paid in wages to each employee during a calendar year. Employers who pay the state unemployment tax, on a timely basis, will receive an offset credit of up to 5.4% regardless of the rate of tax they pay the state. Therefore, the net federal tax rate is generally 0.8% (6.2% - 5.4%). This would equate to a maximum of $56.00 per employee, per year (.008 X $7,000. = $56.00) in federal tax. State tax rates are based on requirements of state law. A table of current tax rates and taxable wage base information for individual states is available in this web site under, “On This Page” Tax Statistics 2002.\nState Unemployment Tax\n\nThe state Unemployment Tax, paid to state workforce agencies, is used solely for the payment of benefits to eligible unemployed workers.\nDomestic Employers Coverage\n\nEmployers of domestic employees must pay state and federal unemployment taxes if they pay cash wages to household workers totaling $1,000, or more, in any calendar quarter of the current or preceding year. A household worker is an employee who performs domestic services in a private home. Examples of household employees are: babysitters, caretakers, cleaning people, drivers, nannies, health aides, yard workers and private nurses.\nEmployers of Agricultural Employees\n\nEmployers must pay federal unemployment taxes if: (1) they pay cash wages to employees of $20,000, or more, in any calendar quarter; or, (2) in each of 20 different calendar weeks in the current or preceding calendar year, there was at least 1 day in which they had 10 or more employees performing service in agricultural labor. The 20 weeks do not have to be consecutive weeks, nor must they be the same 10 employees, nor must all employees be working at the same time of the day.\n\nGenerally, agricultural employers are also subject to state unemployment taxes, and employers should contact their state workforce agencies to learn the exact requirements.\n\nThe Federal Unemployment Tax Act imposes on every employer an excise tax of 6.2 percent (percentage may change from year to year) of the total wages paid by him during a calendar year with respect to employment. Under the Federal Act, the employer is allowed credit against the Federal tax in the amount of contributions paid by him into the unemployment fund under a state unemployment insurance law. This means that an employer’s Federal unemployment tax rate will be 0.8 percent of the total wages paid by him for employment; provided, he has paid contributions to the South Carolina Employment Security Commission as required under the South Carolina Employment Security Law.\n\nIn South Carolina, the normal tax rate for a new employer under the South Carolina Emplo

how do you solve:  find the slope of the line perpendicular to 2x - 7y = 5?

The last answer was close.\n\nYou get y by itself, so you get\n\n7y= -2x + 5 \ny = -2/7x + 5/7\nso the slope of the perpendicular line is the negative reciprocal so it is \n7/2
