WHat exactly is bird flu and how does it affect???

Key Facts About Avian Influenza (Bird Flu) and Avian Influenza A (H5N1) Virus\nE-mail this page\nPrinter-friendly version\nWhat You Should Know About Avian Flu\nKey Facts\nInfections in Humans\nQuestions & Answers\nCurrent Situation\nThis fact sheet provides general information about avian influenza (bird flu) and information about one type of bird flu, called avian influenza A (H5N1), that has caused infections in birds in Asia and Europe and in humans in Asia. Also see Questions and Answers on the CDC website and Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) on the World Health Organization (WHO) website.\n\nAvian Influenza (Bird Flu)\nAvian influenza in birds\nAvian influenza is an infection caused by avian (bird) influenza (flu) viruses. These influenza viruses occur naturally among birds. Wild birds worldwide carry the viruses in their intestines, but usually do not get sick from them. However, avian influenza is very contagious among birds and can make some domesticated birds, including chickens, ducks, and turkeys, very sick and kill them.\n\nInfected birds shed influenza virus in their saliva, nasal secretions, and feces. Susceptible birds become infected when they have contact with contaminated secretions or excretions or with surfaces that are contaminated with secretions or excretions from infected birds. Domesticated birds may become infected with avian influenza virus through direct contact with infected waterfowl or other infected poultry, or through contact with surfaces (such as dirt or cages) or materials (such as water or feed) that have been contaminated with the virus.\n\nInfection with avian influenza viruses in domestic poultry causes two main forms of disease that are distinguished by low and high extremes of virulence. The “low pathogenic” form may go undetected and usually causes only mild symptoms (such as ruffled feathers and a drop in egg production). However, the highly pathogenic form spreads more rapidly through flocks of poultry. This form may cause disease that affects multiple internal organs and has a mortality rate that can reach 90-100% often within 48 hours.\n\nHuman infection with avian influenza viruses\nThere are many different subtypes of type A influenza viruses. These subtypes differ because of changes in certain proteins on the surface of the influenza A virus (hemagglutinin [HA] and neuraminidase [NA] proteins). There are 16 known HA subtypes and 9 known NA subtypes of influenza A viruses. Many different combinations of HA and NA proteins are possible. Each combination represents a different subtype. All known subtypes of influenza A viruses can be found in birds.\n\nUsually, “avian influenza virus” refers to influenza A viruses found chiefly in birds, but infections with these viruses can occur in humans. The risk from avian influenza is generally low to most people, because the viruses do not usually infect humans. However, confirmed cases of human infection from several subtypes of avian influenza infection have been reported since 1997. Most cases of avian influenza infection in humans have resulted from contact with infected poultry (e.g., domesticated chicken, ducks, and turkeys) or surfaces contaminated with secretion/excretions from infected birds. The spread of avian influenza viruses from one ill person to another has been reported very rarely, and transmission has not been observed to continue beyond one person.\n\n“Human influenza virus” usually refers to those subtypes that spread widely among humans. There are only three known A subtypes of influenza viruses (H1N1, H1N2, and H3N2) currently circulating among humans. It is likely that some genetic parts of current human influenza A viruses came from birds originally. Influenza A viruses are constantly changing, and they might adapt over time to infect and spread among humans.\n\nDuring an outbreak of avian influenza among poultry, there is a possible risk to people who have contact with infected birds or surfaces that

Can a DIGIAL CAMERA or CAMCORDER be used as WEBCAM? HOW?

A camcorder can be used as webcam, not a digital camera.\n\nNow, if you digital camera has capability of capturing or rendering video, then probably you might be able to.\n\nCamcorders / Digital cameras come with USB cables. You should first intall the camcorder / digital camera software on your computer. Then shut down your PC. Turn ON your camera and then connect your camcorder / digital camera to the USB port of your computer. (The restart is necessary because the camera drivers will only be installed when the registry is logged off and on). Once the PC is restarted, it might go through camera driver installation. (that is normal). Once all is set, start up your favorite conferencing / IM software and start your webcam. You should be able to view the videos... Dont forget to turn on your camera during this process. else your computer wont recognize any new hardware. \n\nHope that helps

I borrowed money from a friend. Can she sue me for twice the amount in small claims court?

From what you say she wasn't in much of a friend.  I don't believe she can sue you for twice what the debt is.  Hang on to your receipt so you can prove you paid her.  The judge should dismiss this case.


Is there any negative impact of the food fortification program?

"As part of the fortifying process, a permanent monitoring system of nutrient concentrations is extremely important to ensure the required levels, since high or low concentrations are unacceptable owing to the potential risk of toxicity. Legal issues are important and must be addressed so that country regulations are adhered to, facilitating the implementation of regional fortification."\nhttp://www.unu.edu/unupress/food/8F154e/8F154E03.htm\n\nThe food itself is not a negative factor.  The overpopulation resulting from feeding people who are now starving to death, might be.

why did congress not declare war against Vietnam?

I would venture to guess they did not want a show down with the Soviet Union or China at the time. The Gulf of Tonkin incident was enough to justify escalating the war without a declaration.  You would think that sending 50,000 amercian boys and soldier girls to their deaths would've justified a declaration of war, but who am i to raise that argument.

fell in love...but don't know if he is married?

I would just come clean and ask him..."Okay!  You are too perfect.  Tell me the truth...You're married, aren't you?"  Make sure that you are together when you ask it though, so that you can see his face and the way he reacts.  When you are, make it sound like, like you are joking around with him.  If he answers "No.", then ask, "Do you have kids then?"  Better question..."Do you WANT kids?"  Just keep it light, but gauge his reations.


I've always been of the understanding that a deferred sentence means that; if a person is found guilty of an offence they can be sentenced to say one year in prison deferred for a period of two years. And what that means is that if during that period of two years (the probationary period) no further offence is committed, the one year sentence will not be applied. Converseley, if within that two year period a further offence is committed then the original sentence is automatically added to whatever sentence is given for the later conviction.\n\nSo. If Mr Smith steals a car and is found guilty of the crime, he is sentenced to one year in prison deferred for two years. If in that two years he is found guilty of stealing a second car and is sentenced to one year in prison for that crime, he will go to prison for two years. If in the same two years he doesn't steal another car or commit any other offence, he doesn't go to prison at all.\n\nIGNORE THE ABOVE\n\nSorry young lady I got this wrong. I was confusing deferred conviction with suspended sentencing. They are similar but not the same. I checked with one of my colleagues today and the definition you are looking for is as follows:\n\n'Deferred adjudication is available in some jurisdictions for certain offenses. It often involves probation, treatment programs, and/or some type of community supervision. If all the conditions of probation are met for the allotted time handed down by the court, the offender can avoid a formal sentence, and in some jurisdictions, no permament record of the crime will be made. Typically, at the end of the probationary period the charge will be dismissed and no record of conviction will result. Deferred adjudication may be available to eligible defendants upon recommendation by the prosecutor or at the discretion of the court'.\n\nSorry for the error. Slight difference between UK law and US law. I Hope I didn't cause you too much inconvenience.\n\nMy apologies also to the person who posted first and then withdrew after I posted. His answer was nearer to being correct than my first effort was.

Go through Treasury Direct:\nhttp://www.treasurydirect.gov/indiv/indiv.htm\n\nIf you go through a bank, they charge a fee and keep some of the interest as payment to themselves. The T-Bill will also be kept in the bank's name, so in the unlikely event of the bank's bankruptcy, you will only become a creditor to the bank and only get some of your money back.\n\nIf you go directly through Treasury Direct, you deal directly with the government. There are no fees (except a once per year fee of approximately $35 only if you have more than $100,000 with them), and you get to keep all of the interest. The T-Bills will be registered in your name, so there is no risk of failure of a middleman.\n\nThe entire process is done on the Internet, so you don't even need to leave home to do it.\n\nI **HIGHLY** recommend this.\n\nHope this helps!

how would u design an experiment showing:which is a better solvent, alcohol or water?

Second answer has some misunderstood spellings.\n\nSolvent is the substance which dissolves.\n\nSolute is the substance which is dissolved and\n\nSolution is the end mixture aof the solvent and the solute.\n\nThere is always a reference for better solubility of a solvent with that of other.\n\nYou can say A is better solvent than B because it dissolves more substances.\nIn this respect you select a number of solutes and get try to dissolve in both solvents.\n\nYou can say A is better solvent for a substance S because A dissolves more quantity of S than solvent B\nIn this respect you take equal volumes of the solvents and two equal volumes of the solute one to dissolve in each solvent. The solvent which gets more amount dissolved is better solvent for the solute than the other one.\n\nIt is just possible that A is better solvent in terms of quantity of a substance dissolved and B is better solvent for another substance \nOR A is better solvent for one substance but B is better solvent in number of of substances it can dissolve.

Incomes Fall, Hunger Worsens as Bush Says 'We're Doing Fine', Are we?

No, we are not doing fine. Maybe America is on it's way out. The average government lasts 200 years. Do the math. However, Bush is doing fine, as are the other rich people in the nation. The gap between upper class and low class is widening and middle class is disappearing. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer.

How do you solve for theta in the range equation for launched projectiles?

It looks like your equation got cut off, but I think you were writing\n\nR = (V^2/2g)(sin (2 theta) +sin (2 theta))\n\nwhich can be immediately simplified, by adding the sin (2 theta) terms, as \n\nR= (V^2/2g )(2)(sin(2 theta) = (V^2/g )sin (2 theta)\n\nwhich is the formula that the other correspondent already gave.  To solve it, simply multiply both sides by g, divide by V^2, and you get \n\n(R g)/v^2 = sin (2 theta)\n\n[Arcsin (Rg/V^2) ]/2 = theta


what are/will be the role of environmental and lifestyle factors on human diseases, past, present and future?

These lifestyle factors are very important due to the fact that they had helped, are helping and will help the human health.\n\nPast\n     The factors had helped many diseases to be discovered due to technology. And in turn, the scientists have developed different methods of how to prevent/cure these diseases.\n\nPresent\n     The factors had helped many individuals in the present day because these are in fact a way of life a human should have. Also, the present scientists are trying to find other cures for new diseases.\n\nFuture\n     The factors will establish a need for a healthy lifestyle for the future years. And as always, our future scientists will try to find a more effective cure for still uncured diseases.


The previous answer is correct. There are many superposition theorems. But in mathematics and physics, the typical superposition theorem refers to solutions of a linear equation, say Lx=0. If there are two solutions x, and y so Lx=0 and Ly=0, then the superposition of solutions x and y is their linear combination, so L(x+y)=0 also. \n\nThere is a superposition theorem that exists in circuit design as well (see attached).

how do you find out how much you really should get paid at work.?

There are multiple ways to find out and it all depends on how far you wish to go.\n\n1. The benchmark can be obtained from websites such as www.salary.com as pointed out previously. This is however a very coarse estimate based on standard qualifications such as  BS + 0-2 years of experience. It does not consider your professional qualifications.\n\n2. Professional organizations such as IEEE have Salary tools that will give you a closer estimate to what you should get.\n\n3. HR of companies have some historic data of salaries for your position in the last years. Although this number will usually be very conservative and unappealing, it will give you a good idea on what to ask for.\n\n4. Interview with other companies and see what they offer you. This is not encouraged, but can sometimes help you assess yourself.\n\n5. Talk to people, friends in other companies in your area who may be hiring managers, counterparts in other companies, people who recently took job offers may be sometimes willing to give you a ballpark.

how to get a free remedy on stop snoring forever?

Don't know about how free, but snoring is something that a lot of people do and its pretty harmless.\n\nHowever, if you are having other issues like: sleepiness during the day, failure to concentrate, excessive snoring (you wake people up in other rooms), then its something that probably should be checked out by a physician.\n\nSleep apnea (*spelling*) is a serious condition with some pretty nasty long term effects on people.\n\nMost stop snoring remedies available over the counter are pretty worthless in my opinion and dont really address the issue of why someone is snoring.  There are lots of reasons but to correct any of them and feel confident you are going to be satisfied with results you need to see a doctor.


how to get an progress report for an student of roberto clemente middle school?

Most schools have pre-printed progress reports available in their main office. My middle school and high school children pick them up Friday mornings and bring them home after school on Friday.

What does it mean when you ask a person a question and their eyes go rapidly side to side?

Ah, a great question!\n\nIt was mentioned that in psychology a person is lying if they look up to the left.  SOMETIMES it is true.\n\nA person's eyes actually try to "look" at the brain where the answer is coming from.  A person who remembers things visually (photographic memory) will look at all parts of their brain to find the answer.  And when the info is found, their eyes will sweep back and forth while reading.\nThis behavior can be seen when watching movies.  Some actors will quickly look side to side when talking (in some scenes) because they are "reading their lines".  Directors try to get the actors to stop doing that, because it is "annoying to the audience".\n\nSome people look down and to the right.  These people are auditory learners.  They are looking at the memory, and then their eyes glance left quickly as they are intrepreting the memory.\n\nA person who remembers by doing will look down.  This downward glance means that they can remember by "looking at their hands doing the work".  Then they will look up to interpret.


how come and how can I stop thinking about having sex with a co-worker-my friend-she's straight me 2....?

You're just sexu_ally infatuated. I don't think it can stop. I guess you could "flush the pipes" before going to work, I'm sure you already tried. Can you like, go for it and start going out? Listen to your body... I think I remember feelings like that in my younger years... It's actually an agony. I guess you need to find more excitement in your life outside of work, that way your need for an exciting adventure is not channeled at work. You should join some activities outside of work and dedicate yourself for several months. Also if you try some exercise like biking or swimming (or spinning at the gym), it'll take the wind out of ya.


what is the difference between a heart attack and anxiety pain in the chest?

The rule of thumb is this...If you have chest pain, get to a doctor or hospital for EKG and blood tests immediately.  If it is not heart problems....GRRREAT!  If it is, you need to be treated quickly.  Anxiety can cause similar symptons as an MI and if you blow off your discomfort as nothing but anxiety....it may be the last thing you do.  A heart attack does damage to your heart...you only have one heart, do NOT diagnose your own problem!

Should organ transplant recievers be discriminated against because of their past?

Yes because it affects the life of the recipient, the whole point of organ donation.


what century are we in and how does this all work?

We are currently in the 21st Century. Since a century represents 100 years. In calendars based on the Christian Era or Common Era, such as the Gregorian calendar, the 21st century is the current century, as of this writing. By some interpretations, it lasts from 2001-2100, and the 3rd millennium lasts from (2001 - 3000). This is based on the argument that there was no Year Zero, so the first century began in year 1http://www.astronomyboy.com/millennium/. However, common usage often regards the 21st century as lasting from 2000 to 2099. In 2000 the International Organization for Standardization implicitly backed this common usage by declaring that there was a Year Zero (see 20th century). Decades are almost always considered as starting with the "0" year and named accordingly ("2010s", etc.), so the first decade of a century could overlap back into the preceding one.

what age did you date for first time? a boyfriend?or girlfriend?

Unofficially went out with a guy at 13-- TOO YOUNG. I was in eighth grade and he was a sophomore in highschool. He only took advantage of me. Luckily I kicked him to the curn before he did anything serious.\nThen I went out with the biggest nerd ever a year later. He was so cute and sweet-- but he ended up breaking up with me, the whole "let's just be friends" thing. GO figure. ^^

how do you deal with a liberal professor who turns a speech class into a psych class and gives impossible work

You can just try to get through the class the best you can or, you can transfer or, you can drop it and take it again with a different professor. \n\nThere is something else you could look into.\n\nIf there are other students who view this class as you do, then you could find some other students taking pre-law and approach it as a breaking of a contract.  That is, you have a form of a contract with the school to receive specific instruction.  It was defined when you paid the money for the course.  The professor and the school have broke the contract (by teaching something else) and you can sue them for your financial damage.  The Cost of the course and the waste of time. \n\nOf course this is a difficult road to travel and there is no guarantee of succeeding.  I believe it was tried successfully once at a university in Missouri where the professor was senile. \n\nMany years ago I was in ECON 101 and the instructor (someone from a mid-east country) was teaching it from a socialistic perspective (that is a false foundation for the class).  At that point I had served a hitch in the Army, was married with two children and had been working.  I would ask questions in class that he couldn’t answer and he eventually told me to not ask anymore.  So, after class I went to his office and we had a very frank discussion.  I ended up telling him he had two options, the first was that he would let me out of the class with no problems and all of my money returned, the second is that we would go to the dean’s office and have a frank discussion concerning his teaching methods with the dean and I would be accompanied by the State legislator (a friend of the family) who then headed the Education Committee.  He decided to let me out of the class.\n\nIt all comes down to what you are after.

how can I get a confirmation that all my mail was received?

If you are talking snail mail you could put delivery confirmation on it. It costs about $0.60. They will scan it and then you can receive an email when it has arrived at the desintation. Sometimes they forget to scan it.\n\nFor e-mail you can add a read receipt to your email through outlook express, search help for more information. However, the receiver does not have to send a receipt back to you, so they may receive it and you not find out.

The medical term for this, based on the symptoms you provided, is Verbalosis Cranial Rectosis. It is fairly common in the North Americas, primarily in parts of the country such as the greater District of Columbia area and can often be found in Sacramento, California. \n\nNot all persons diagnosed with this disorder even know that they have it and often pursue careers in such areas that are beneficial such as - phone sex operators, politicians, talk show hosts, and even moms. \n\nDon't get me wrong, although your friend suffers from this issue, there are things you can do to protect yourself from any adverse affects that may arise from contact with your friend. For example, you can move to Canada, buy ear protection, or even a cheap roll of duct tape.\n\nThis disorder is not fatal, however at times you wish it were. Also, it can be temporarily cured by telling your friend to STFU every once in a while. \n\nHope this helps and good luck.

how do i find out if this guy at work is gay besides the fact that he looks at me everyday?

Well, it may sound cliche, but mannerisms are a hint.  I say hint because of all the "halfway" metros (no offence).  No, honestly, the best way is to actually talk to this person.  Be polite and professional, and after a while, you should know.  Best advice if you are interested.\nHowever, if you are not interested and just want to know if this person may have a thing for you, you really need to understand that it's all around, everywhere you turn.  Unattractive girls, homosexual men, if they end up having a thing for you, take it as a compliment, let them know your position, and that's that.  They should respect your decisions and lifestyle, and if not, the issue is not with you so you're in the clear.\nHope this helps.


looking for a high-interest savings account, with 10-12% interest.?

They don't exist (not in the US at this time).  Interest rates on savings accounts reflect market interest rates.  If the fed funds rate is 3.75%, then the savings account rates will have to reflect this relatively low interest rate.\nHigher returns are associated with taking on higher risk.  To earn 10%-12% interest rates, you will need to invest in something riskier, like the S&P 500, which has, over the long term, generated a rate of return between 10% and 12%.\nAnd, don't think that if a savings account in England (as an example) is paying 10%, you can just convert your dollars to pounds and invest in the English savings account.  The differential rate of return is already built in to the exchange rates (spot rate and forward rate) between the two currencies, courtesy of the world markets and something called arbitrage.  Arbitrage will instantly wipe out that differential rate of return by a compensating change in exchange rates.


What is the difference between gray and grey?

Fnet= MA so you acceleration is 36km/h, so convert that to m/s, which is 10 m/s. To get acceleration, we know that the car started out at 18km/s, which is 5m/s. So the acceleartion = Change of velocity/Change of time. So that comes out 1 m/s/s. So there is 1000 Newtons on the car. The other guy's answer is wrong. I'm an engineering major. The standard Units in science is MKS, meters kilograms and seconds

what is the relationship between PRESSURE TENDENCY, RELATIVE HUMIDITY and FORECAST TIME FOR PRECIPITATION ?

it's all a bit relative since these days we also have "k"-value which is essential in forecasting precipitation.  it refers to the lift in areas of an airmass. for example, a thunderstorm can form, grow to 40,000 feet, drop its precipitation and go away in only a few minutes.  an area such as this would have a negative value for k, say minus 40 while a very stable area could be plus 40.  while the factors you refer to are important and useful indicators, consider that you can have any combination of humidity and pressure trend and it does not necessarily nean it will rain.  those parameters are the basis of centuries old meteorology and the principles have not changed all that much over time but then the forecasts delivered with these tools were marginal, at best.  the relationship principles you speak of were the basis for a guage to do precisly what you speak of. it's called a barometer and you can find all kinds of information on one on these any even probably find one to purchase for only a few dollars on e-bay or something. a borometer takes pressure trends, considers humidy and does give an estimated time in which precipitation would be expected.  accurancy?  well if i remember right only maybe about 60% or so but don't quote me there.


Maybe they are not upset that you got married maybe they are upset at possibly your age that you got married at or maybe they got upset at it his race.

Where is Mardi Gras and what is it's race?

Mardi Gras is also called Shrove Tuesday and precedes the somber Catholic period of Lent. Many international cities celebrate Mardi Gras, including New Orleans, Rio de Janeiro and Venice. Mardi Gras is Tuesday, February 28, 2006 this year. It is Tuesday, February 20, 2007 next year.  As far as it's race goes, I think it has nothing to do with the people who live there.  Turtle races, I guess?

how can I be successfull in an interview?

You need to know the needs of the company, business, whatever, and you need to go in and convince them that you will meet these needs.  Learn as much as you can about the company.  I notice you posted in "special education."  If you are applying to be a teacher, you need to convince them that you will not only meet the students' needs, but you will also volunteer to do extra, and that you are good at managing students.\n\nIf you tell us the job for which you are interviewing, we can give you more specific information.

I want to continue but I think u get the point.


When  a creditor files a 1099-c does that mean the debt comes off the credit report?

No! A 1099c is given to you to report as income on your taxes for the unpaid but "forgiven" debt from the creditor. Once you pay the income tax on the forgiven amount, the creditor can not come after the same amount again. The debt is therefore, forgiven. It has absolutely nothing to do with the credit report itself. \n\nNow as far as what is showing on your credit report you will have to tackle that as a seperate issue. Look at the tradeline and make sure it reporting correctly. If it isn't you may dispute as being incorrect.

She spends 20 hours a week shooting for Olympic gold, but she has already earned several accolades in her sport.\n\nShe’s one of the best trap shooters in the country, and it was an accident that 15-year-old Eastwood freshman Caitlin Barney even got into the sport.\n\nShe said, “Me and my dad went hunting and my aim was off so he brought me here to shoot skeet. That was closed so I started shooting trap and I really liked it.”\n\nNot only did she enjoy it, she was good at it. On her first try she shot a 14 out of 25 from the third hardest position.\n\nDad became Caitlin’s coach and for the last two and a half years has helped her win countless awards.\n\nHer resume includes close to 50 titles in the sport.\n\nShe is the current Texas state ladies handicap champion in American trap and the Texas junior ambassador for shooting sports.\n\nBut her biggest accomplishment yet is that Caitlin has made the national junior Olympic shotgun team.\n\nShe said, “You have to have a lot of self motivation, you can’t rely on everyone else helping you. You have to rely on yourself, because you are the one who pulls the trigger.”\n\nThat self motivation is going to come in handy for Caitlin to accomplish her next goal, the 2008 Olympics. Only one woman shooter is chosen to compete, and a little good fortune might help.\n\nCaitlin is superstitious in that she doesn’t remove the numbers on her vest from her last competition until the next one; something she believes brings her luck.\n\nCaitlin Barney is a kid you should know.

I need a new 4 day split weight lifting routine.?

I've been doing a Max-OT workout (http://www.ast-ss.com/max-ot/max-ot_intro.asp). Go to the web site and sign up. It's completely free. I've been doing it for the last few months and it is awesome. From the web site:\n\n"In a nut shell, but nowhere near complete, you can summarize Max-OT like this:\n\n   1. Train only 1 or 2 muscle groups per workout/day.\n   2. Do 4 to 6 reps per set.\n   3. Do 6 to 9 total heavy sets per muscle group.\n   4. Rest 2 to 3 minutes between sets. (STR)\n   5. Each workout should last approximately 30 to 40 minutes.\n   6. Train each muscle group once every 5 to 7 days. (ITR)\n   7. Take a 1 week break from training every 8 to 10 weeks.\n\nAs you can see there is a small bit of leeway in each of these rules. A very small bit. Max-OT is designed specifically around these parameters."\n\nOne warning: AST Sports Science is a supplement company and they really push you to use their supplements. Just ignore that part and use whatever supplements you may be using now. Some of the ideas on how to use supplements are not bad though. I've been doing the "bracketing" method for taking creatine that they talk about, but with a different brand, and I've been very happy with it.


Act 2:16  But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel; \nAct 2:17  And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:\n\nJeol said this in OT speaking of the last days. This was about the day of Pentecost which did happen. \nWe can't be in a time after the last days, therefore we are in the last days\n\nI believe the last days started on the day Jesus died \nAct 1:9  And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.\nNothing proves the last days started on the day of Pentacost but was foretold it would happen during those days which were not long after Jesus died \nActs refers to those times

I am a massage therapist and I mix my own oil.  I use 1/2 sweet almond oil and 1/2 grapeseed oil.  It's light and penetrates well, but gives plenty of glide for massages.  If you want to scent it you can put in a few drops of essential oils.\n\nFor relaxing I use lavendar and bitter orange oils (sweet orange or lemon also works.)  For stimulating and refreshening I use peppermint and basil or rosemary oil.  For sensuous massages that I do at home on my sweetheart I use ylang ylang.\n\nYou can get all of the ingredients in a health food store.


The reason why people have problems with this concept is simply because they fail to understand the difference between a BIOLOGICAL reality and a CULTURAL reality.\n\nLook, if we wanted to we could group people by shirt colour couldn’t we? People with blue, green or purple shirts in one group, red yellow and orange in another and blacks, whites and greys making a third group? Do you agree that we could do that? We could then choose as a SOCIETY to teat those groups differently. We can tax them at different rates, throw them in prison whatever we like. \n\nWhat we have here is an example of a CULTURAL reality. The division of people by shirt colour is indisputably real. It indisputably has real effects on the real lives of real people. By any standard you like it is real. But do you also accept that such a division by shirt colour is not based in BIOLOGY? Do you accept that there is no common genetic thread amongst all the people in the green shirt group? Do you accept that it is perfectly possible for two people who are very closely related BIOLOGICALLY to be placed in totally separate shirt groups?\n\nWell, race is no different in any way at all. We have traditionally grouped people according to certain racial features. Those features were chosen at random, they are just as random as shirt colour. And they tell us no more about the person than shirt colour does. \n\nThat is what we mean when we state that race has no BIOLOGICAL reality. Black people are not closely related to one another. A random black person has a greater chance of being related to a White person or an Asian person than to another Black person. A White person has the same chance of being related to a black person as to another White. The only common feature held by Black people is the feature that we used to define them in the first place: black skin. That’s it.\n\nSo to answer your question, yes race is real. Nobody has ever denied that race is very, very real. How could you anyone possibly deny that race is real?  But race is CULTURALLY and HISTORICALLY real. It is not BIOLOGICALLY real.\n\n>>>>> Is the difference in skin colour and hair texture down to mutations\n\nIf you go back far enough, yes. But what  you need to realise that it isn’t just one mutation. There is no common skin colour gene found amongst all black people or all white people.  Heck, there isn’t even a common skin colour found amongst all the people we define as Black or White. That is precisely why race has no biological meaning.

what inspired S.E. Hinton to become a writer?

She was inspired by the environment she grew up, the everyday life she saw around her and the books that she read.\n\n"By the time she was 17 years old, Susan Eloise Hinton was a published author. While still in high school in her hometown—Tulsa, Oklahoma—Hinton put in words what she saw and felt growing up and called it The Outsiders, a now classic story of two sets of high school rivals, the Greasers and the Socs (for society kids). Because her hero was a Greaser and outsider, and her tale was one of gritty realism, Hinton launched a revolution in young adult literature."\n\n(and)\n\n"When I was a teenager, I’d search my local and school library for fiction books with the theme of biker gangs/street gangs. I’d read about the closeness of the members, the feeling of brotherhood, the adventures they had and when they were together having their kind of fun.\nThese stories fascinated me. I’d close my eyes and picture myself as the female character and I wanted to experience everything she did.\n\nAnd so I did.\n\nI started writing my own stories, one’s that contained everything a hot bloodied teenager wanted to read about. Sex, drugs, rock, tragedy, love and laughter."


Why is nobel prize not given in maths as it is given fot other subjects?

What really happened to the Celts in what is now England?

There are in fact several theories, but the fact is that they where assimilated into the anglo-saxon society as has happened with many cultures around the world. For instance, the Mayans, the Incas, and so on.\n\nThe inter-racial and inter-social mending, does not mean that the ancestors have dissapeared at all. With technology advancement and DNA prints, you will be surprised to know that these ancient societies are well represented in today's modern generation.\n\nIf you wish to expand your understanding of ancient societies, would recommend you go to a search engine and type in: ancient societies - celts you will be directed to at least 300 well informed web pages.

How do I disable right click on myspace? Where do I put the code?

It doesn't matter.  Disabling it doesn't help, because a user only has to disable Java in the browser to enable right clicking again.


why does my pc take so much time to boot?

The most liekly culprit is spyware. Try LavaSoft's AdAware personal, Spybot Search and Destroy, and Microsoft's antispy beta. Also make sure that AOL is not installed on the computer as it extremely slows computers down. Spybots advanced tools allows you to manage startup items better than msconfig which can also be used.


Why must muslims straggle against us and we not?

Islamic nations are descended from Ishmael, Abraham's son he had with Hagar, his family's maid-servant.  After Isaac was born of Sarah, Abraham's wife, Hagar & Ishmael were driven away by Sarah.\n\nGod gave Hagar and Ishmael refuge, but told Abraham that the descendants of Ishmael will forever be in conflict with the rest of the world, including the nation of Israel, descended from Isaac.


why is my internet browser opening so slow?

Your internet browser is most likely slow because you probably have a numerous amount of spy/adware on your computer. This spyware has been known to slow internet browsing up 10 times slower than what it should be. I would reccomend that you get a spyware removal program. If you already have one, I would reccomend using it once daily. If you dont have one already dont be alarmed thinking that you have to go buy this program. There are many free ones out there. Adaware SE is a very good and highly recomended one.

can you setup outlook express for yahoo mail, if you can how do you and what are the settings.?

Technically no according to Yahoo, \nI have heard of programs that get around it somehow.  Yahoo, wants you to PAY for the premium email service, which does allow you to use your POP mail in Outlook Express.  Or else you have another TSA running to serve Yahoo in Outlook Express.\nMay as well set up a Hotmail account, which obviously does allow it.  Also, I think http://www.gmail.com allows it as well.  Gmail is a google promoted email site, with a tremenduous amount of free storage.  I really like the interface.  It is fast, and easy to use.\n\nGreat thing about gmail as well, is they are limiting the amount of accounts which will keep it from being mis used by bots and email spammers.

how does the ph of a solution affect the dissolving time of acetominophen??/?

From looking at the structure, it appears that if anything, it would be very slightly acidic, which means that a low pH (more acid) would slow down the dissolving time.  So, to increase dissolving time, add a base.


why does oxygen move from the alveoli into the pulmonary capillary blood?

Cl- rushes out of RBC as HCO3- rushes into RBC (chloride shift), HCO3- combines with H+ to form carbonic acid that immediately splits into CO@ and H2O.  CO2 moves outside RBC and diffuses into alveoli, allowing O2 to cross into the bloodstream and combine with Hgb in RBC.  The diffusion occurs mainly due to the partial pressure of O2 being higher in the alveoli than the blood, and vice versa for the CO2. Partial pressures exert themselves as if no other gas were present (Dalton's Law).

Importance Following Direction and Having Self Decipline and Integrity?

it's extremly important to follow direction that are given by experienced people. they usualy know what works and doesnt and have been there before. A lot of people make the mistake of not listening or trying their own way to get better yet they often waste years of their lives doing this.\n\nhaving self discipline in any sport is extremly important as well because if you dont push yourself to be the best, nobody else will! you have to work hard to get anywhere in life, because if you dont, someone else will.\n\nim not sure about integrity, but surely that most count for something

In space Dose an Object accellerate untill there is no thrust?

In space, because there is no air resistance or the like, thrust equals acceleration.  Also acording to newton's laws of motion an object in motion stays in that motion unless a force acts on it.  So if a rock is moving through space it will move with constant speed unless gravity or another force pulls or pushes it off course.  If a rocket constantly uses it's thrusters it would constantly accelerate until the force pushing it stoped.  I hope this helps!

The mass of 60.4% of the atoms of an element is 68.9257 amu.?

This is from Mr. Jeffy:\n\nIf you know that 60.4% of the naturally occuring isotopes have an atomic mass of 68.9257 amu, then you know that the other 39.6% much have an atomic mass such that the averge is 70.9249 amu.\nSo,\n(60.4% of 68.9257) + (39.6% of x) = 70.9249\nSo solve for x.\n============================================================\n\nI think he merely switched a couple of terms here, so I think the equation will look like this:\n\n(60.4% of 68.9257) + (39.6% of 70.9249) = x\n\nSolving:\n\n41.6311228 + 28.0862064 = (approx.) 69.72\n\nYou have gallium (Ga), my friend.


Air systems, regardless of compressor design or capacity, can operate more efficiently and economically through the proper selection and optimization of the control system used with the compressor unit.Compressor control systems have long had the ability to monitor and adjust basic air compressor functions, associated with monitoring, loading, unloading and throttling. Now, some systems provide additional features such as trend analysis, predictive maintenance schedules as well as remote monitoring and operations.compressor control systems function on a demand cycle. If the demand for compressed air is steady and does not fluctuate, compressor controls simply match the capacity to the system demand. One basic form of compressor flow control is called inlet throttling, or inlet unloading. \nReducing the air flow is achieved by reducing the inlet opening through which the air enters the compressor. This, in turn, matches the compressor output to the system demand. Because system pressure acts a s a demand indicator, throttling is usually controlled by system pressure. However, most air systems are more complex and demand is more variable than the one described. \nProcesses with complicated and varying demand cycles, which can include several compressors of different sizes and configurations to maintain system pressure, require a more sophisticated control system. The most common of these systems is the electro-pneumatic control system. \nMore than 70 percent of all existing air compressors utilize electro-pneumatic control systems. These compressors feature electric and mechanically controlled devices -- such as pressure switches, solenoid valves and metering pins -- that adjust the loading and unloading through the use of an inlet throttle and/or a bypass valve. These control systems typically rely on mechanical pressure switches to monitor the compressor's proper discharge pressure. In addition, electro-pneumatic systems typically feature a series of mechanical trip switches that will discontinue compressor operation when pressures or temperatures reach critical levels.The electro-pneumatic action is a control system for pipe organs whereby air pressure, controlled by an electric current and operated by the keys of an organ console, opens and closes valves within wind chests, allowing the pipes to speak. This system also allows the console to be physically detached from the organ itself. The only connection was via an electrical cable from the console to the relay, with some early organ consoles utilizing a separate wind supply to operate combination pistons.\nAlthough early experiments with Barker lever, tubular-pneumatic and electro-pneumatic actions date as far back as the 1850s, credit for a feasible design is generally given to the English organist and inventor, Robert Hope-Jones. He overcame the difficulties inherent in earlier designs by including a rotating centrifugal air blower and replacing banks of batteries with a DC generator, which provided electrical power to the organ and drove the blower. This allowed the construction of new pipe organs without any physical linkages whatsoever. Previous organs all used tracker action, which requires a mechanical linkage between the console and the organ.\nThe basic operation of the system is as follows: when the organist selects a stop and depresses a key, an electric circuit is completed, causing a low-voltage current to flow from depressed key, through the stop-tab switch, and on through the cable to the electro-pneumatic relay. The relay interprets the command from the console and sends an electric current to the appropriate solenoid. The solenoid is energized, causing the pipe valve connected to it to open, which emits compressed air into the pipe, allowing the pipe to speak.\nThe system was an unqualified success. However, the single, most significant drawback to the system was in the massive amount of wiring required for operation. With each stop tab and key being w


Your going with a friend silbling how do you break up with him without your friend getting mad?

Just brake up with him because your friend probably said she didn't care if you to dated in the first place but she really did. Trust me my EX best friend dated my brother and now we now longer talk at all because she began choosing him over me and everybody else and remember bf come and go and true friends are forever. Do yourself and your friend a faver and stop it now before it ends up like we did and stopped being friends all together.


plz suggest me some hacking related websites where i can find more resources on hacking?

First off, I'm going to let you know that the "Anti-Terrorism" laws now cover hacking as a form of terrorism, so be very careful on what you do.\n\nNow that the warnings are over, the best place I have found for this is http://www.astalavista.com simply because it covers enough to gain education. From there, you'll have to gain the respect from people that are "hackers" to learn more. There are a lot of "script kiddies" out there that call themselves hackers, but all they do is damage computers and files. A true "hacker" is only out for information, only takes information they need, and leaves no trace there were ever there....  anything else is just being a prick.

should i get an AOL email address or stick with yahoo?

If you already have AOL you can get an address but don't pay anything for one.   Don't lose your Yahoo address.  Sometimes its good to separate parts of ur life and give different people different addresses.  You will probably have your yahoo address longer than an AOL address so giving people you may later want to lose an AOL address may make sense.

can I put a newer model nose piece and grill on a 1985 pontiac grand prix and it match up and bolt on right?

If I am not mistaken, 1987 is going to be the last year for the rear wheel drive style of that car. So I imagine that the '87 front clip will bolt on, OR the Buick Regal/GN or the Olds Cutlass Supreme frontend will bolt right up (same body designation).\n\nAnything 1988 and up with those names were/are front wheel drive, and a completely different body style and design. Unless you are really good with welding and bondo, I wouldn't try it.

Find the exact value of:  sin (arctan 1/2).   How does one know to draw the triangle in Quadrant I?

The trig functions are not one-to-one hence they don't have an inverse.  The only way for them to have an inverse is to make them 1-1.  You can only do this by restricting the domain.  In the case of the tangent, this is from -pi/2 <x<pi/2.  The inverse trig functions are all positive in the first quadrant only.  Look at the graphs of the trig functions to find the restrictions on the domain.  As for your problem, draw a triangle in QI.  arctan1/2 means "the angle whose tangent is 1/2."  Draw a triangle with tan = 1/2.  Since tan = y/x, y = 1 and x = 2.  Solve for r and you get r = sqrt5.  Since sin = y/r, you get 1/sqrt5 or sqrt5/5.  Since you have all three sides, you can define the other 5 functions of arctan1/2.

Can anyone tell me of how to cure anxiety other than with prescribed medicine,and alternative methods for chro

There are a few different ways to control panic attacks.  I'll give you a couple of short answers here, if you want more email me and I'll tell you more.  \n\nThe first is called box breathing.  It realeases calming chemicals in your brain.  You blow all of your air out and take a slow deep breath for 8 seconds.  You actually want to be sucking in the air for a full 8 seconds.  Then you hold it in for 8 seconds.  then you blow it out slowly, for 8 seconds.  Let it all out.  Repeat ten times or until you are calm.\n\nAnother way (my favorite) is to focus on things.  For instance your arm.  You would take your right hand and place it on your left arm and just feel your arm.  While you are still feeling your arm notice what your chair feels like under you, touch the chair, just to feel the solid.  Just keep feeling things around you.  What this does is takes you out of your head.  Panic attacks occur in your mind, so if you get out of your mind and focus on your physical surroundings the panic will pass.  You can focus on whatever you want as long as it is a physical thing.  The point is to get out of your head.  This can also be combined with deep breathing.\n\nOne last thought.  If you feel one starting to come on you could put on a movie that is funny or comedy central or something like that.  When you start watching your focus changes and laughing releases chemicals that will make stress go away.

What is so significate about the SuperBowl for Americans?

Personally, I LOVE American football, for the following reasons:\n1.  You only play 16 regular games, so every game REALLY counts.\n2.  The playoff you really only get one shot; it is win or go home, literally\n3.  The Super Bowl is the same way. One game decides it all.  None of that series stuff. Best out of whatever.\n4.  Football is the most responsible sport, with strict drug policies, draft policies, and harsh punishments for violators.\n5.  Football has the most level playing field because of the salary caps.  All teams have the same amount of money to spend. Therefore, the decisions make the difference not the money.\n6.  Football is actually a semi-socialist sport.  All teams share profits. The system is truly fascinating.\n7.  Football is rough and has a sort of civilized violence which is GREAT!\n8.  Football players on the whole are the lowest paid professional athletes.\n9.  You never know what might happen during a halftime show. Case in point, Janet’s boob.\n10.  You will see incredible acts of athleticism.\n11.  It is strategic, yet exciting.\nOne more reason... American Football is played in any and all weather.  There is no rain delay.  They don't cancel or postpone games due to snow.  They play period!  None of that, "Oh I can't play I might get wet or cold." That is a real sport.  No wussy stuff in football or the SuperBowl!

As an atheist, I have tried to grasp how believers in a god can actually believe. Many religious people have deemed this annoying and respond with hostility because their faith comes under question. And contrary to what people above me have said, we DO have beliefs. Just different (which to some people means none at all). I believe in science and proven fact. I have discussed my beliefs, and come under attack, because if people of faith can understand where I stand, they can further help me understand where THEY stand.

Anyone out there a veteran who went to war for either Bush and later realized it was a worthless cause?

I also went to Iraq II, and I can proudly say I did it just to take care of my boys for no one else would look out for them in the situation we were in.  I called my dad a few days before I deployed and explained to him what BS it was.  Being the highly educated ex-hippy he was, he really surprised me when he spouted off the official Bush lie about how it was for a good cause with the WMD's and all.\n\nI was both an intel analyst and later a computer guy, and I got the Top Secret emails on the SIPR computer long before 9/11 telling the generals to "prepare for desert combat", as well as prepared briefings years before about Saddam's diminishing weapons programs.  I really knew what BS it was, but when you're a soldier, you have to bite your tongue.  I couldn't claim "consciensus (sp?) objector" because I really didn't have a problem with war or violence in general for the right cause.  \n\nIt was probably one of the hardest things in the world to bite my tongue and do my duty, though I was hit by the "stop-loss" program and spent my last year as a draftee in a war I didn't believe in.  To the mindless soldiers out there that can swallow wholly what is fed to them I salute you, and to the ones with a concious that keep it hidden for a sense of duty, I salute you more...take care of your kids and come home safe.\n\nAnd let no soldier that I proudly served with believe for a single second that the war they are now fighting has ANYTHING to do with defending our constitutional rights.  Though undoubtedly you would do your duty the same if it was truly in defense of our nation, don't delude yourself into thinking this self-serving looting by our non-elected leadership has anything to do with anyone's freedom.\n\nShort answer to your question is "Yes", but it took me two years on the outside to fully understand the implications.  Would I do it again?  Absolutely, its the small victories you win on a personal level that makes all the difference...the soldier you kept from being too trigger happy, the extra blankets or food you handed out, the prisoners you took by talking to them instead of shooting.  I saw the best and worst of psychopaths, cowards, and heroes within our ranks and war brings out people's true nature very fast.  Again, people still on the front lines may hate me for rubbing raw that little doubt in the corner of their conscience, but come home safe so you can ponder it at your leisure later.


Termites feed mainly on wood or other materials containing cellulose. The cellulose is partially digested by protozoans living symbiotically in the intestines of the worker (see Symbiosis). Enzymes produced by the protozoans break down the cellulose into components that can be assimilated by the termites. Digested cellulose is distributed by the workers to members lacking the protozoans. Some species feed on vegetable molds that they cultivate. Other species obtain a special fluid secreted by beetles, known as termitophiles, that live as guests within the termite community.

You get a yellow triangle at bottom of browser and message about error on page.\n\nHowver, it doesn't affect everyone. It works Okon another PC so I think it may be related to thev ersion of IE we are using/
