Karate is a multi-cultural development, absorbing the contributions of many gifted practitioners over time and crossing many borders. Compiling a reasonably accurate history of Karate is challenging.\n\nThe development of Karate occurred chiefly in Okinawa and China in the 19th century, and Japan in the early 20th century. This was an especially turbulent period in history for that area of the world, including Japan's official annexation of the Okinawan island group in 1874, the First Sino-Japanese War (1894-1895), the Russo-Japanese War (1904-1905), and the rise of Japanese expansionism (1905-1945). The wars caused disruptions and upheaval, and incentives for concealment. The Karate styles within Japan have fairly clean lineages; but any assessment of how Karate crossed borders in this period is complicated by issues of nationalism, the historic Japanese racism faced by non-Japanese Asians, and the typical resentment of occupied peoples toward a conqueror. Many recognizeable offshoots of Karate, particularly in Korea, deny the name because of nationalistic ideals and the word's association with Japan; likewise, some obvious offshoots of Karate are disowned by Japanese practitioners, perhaps because of a Japanese preoccupation with primacy or purity.\n\n[edit]\nKarate's Origins in Okinawa\nJapan annexed the nominally independent Okinawan island group in 1874 after centuries of strong Japanese influence over the kingdom's affairs. One might suggest that something of "Okinawan" origin (such as Karate) could be equally desribed as being of "Japanese" origin. The relationship between Okinawa and Japan is complicated. For purposes of discussing Karate, it is convenient to speak of Okinawa and Japan as separate entities. The question of whether Karate is Japanese or Okinawan is somewhat akin to asking whether the luau or the hula dance are American traditions or Hawaiian ones. They developed in Hawaii prior to when Hawaii became one of the United States, and so are usually described as Hawaiian, not American. Similarly for Karate, which is of Okinawan origin.\n\n[edit]\nHistory\nKarate is a mixture of indigenous Okinawan fighting arts and empty-handed Chinese fighting arts, the latter having been brought to Okinawa by political envoys, merchants, and sailors to and from Fujian Province. Estimates of the amount of Chinese influence vs. Okinawan influence in modern Karate vary considerably, from 40% Chinese/40% Okinawan/20% other to 80% Chinese/20% Okinawan. Some believe that there is also a Japanese jujutsu influence stemming from the long Japanese presence on Okinawa.\n\nIn 1722, Sakugawa, who had studied pugilism and staff fighting in China, started teaching a fighting art in the city of Shuri that he called "Karate-no-sakugawa." This was the first known recorded reference to the art of Karate (唐手) in a modern form. The word "Kara" (唐) referred to China itself, and "Te" (手) meant hand, in the sense of a style of fighting; so Karate meant "the Chinese techniques" or "Tang Hand".\n\nTo this day Karate still bears a striking resemblance to Fujian martial arts such as Fujian White Crane, Five Ancestors, and Goroquan (Hard Soft Fist, pronounced "Gōjūken" in Japanese). For the most part there were no particular styles of "te", but rather a network of practitioners with their own individual methods and eclectic traditions. Early styles of karate can be generalized as Shuri-te, Naha-te and Tomari-te, named after the three cities in which they emerged. Each city (and the teachers who lived there) had particular kata, techniques, and principles that distinguished its local version of te from the others.\n\nAround the 1820's, Sokon Matsumura taught a synthesis of te (Shuri-te and Tomari-te) and Shaolin (Chinese 少林) styles. It would become the style Shorin-Ryu ("Little Forest"). Matsumura taught his karate to An


What movie has the most passionate love story, in your opinion?

This is a tough question with so many good answers.  I can't decide on just one however, so I'll give you two.  Casablanca (this movie is a classic, not matter what - one of the best movies EVER!) and Gone with the Wind (another classic, both the book and movie are wonderful).

what do u think is the strength of a relationship ?

If they mean all of that, then trust and communication would be the greatest strengths for a relationship.  You may want to reconsider making someone else responsible for your total happiness.  If they are responsible for EVERYTHING, where would your responsibilities lie.  Trust and communication are two of the most importatnt things in a relationship but I also believe that you both should have faith in God.  God will be your friend and he won't feel burdensome because you are putting so much trust in him.  I just wouldn't want to see you give anyone so much control (not that you would) to someone who may one day cave under the pressure of your eternal happiness.


Why is it when we laugh in school the teachers say do you find something funny when obviously we do?

Now if you are looking for the galaxy of andromeda you need to find those four stars that the last guy stated.  The two most southern of those stars are part of a four star chain.  Two of the stars are the southern part of the square while the other two are directly west in a straight line.  The second star from the west is directly north of the Andromeda Galaxy.  So look south about the width of a finger with the arm streched out.  On a very dark night with no sky pollution the galaxy can be seen with the naked eye.

Where are the most secluded trails in the Rocky mountains for a once in a lifetime backpacking trip?

You need to come to my state and go to the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness. There are many trails and all are from easy to very hard. Great camping and you can catch your dinner every night with a telescoping fishing pole and a brass mepps spinner. My kids are 14 and 11 and I have taken them on a backpacking trip to this and other areas of my state and we just love it. You may also want to try the Seven Devils area. This trail overlooks Hells Canyon the deepest canyon in the United States. By far thought the Frank Church Wildernesas is the best.

Which amino acids would you expect to be found within active sites of proteins? (why?)?

You will still have to read the info at the links below as it is "assumed that you have a rudimentary understanding of basic concepts of protein and nucleic acid structure, as well as enzyme kinetics and mechanisms."\n\nI digress to say that "amino acids are the principal building blocks of proteins and enzymes. They are incorporated into proteins by transfer RNA according to the genetic code while messenger RNA is being decoded by ribosomes. During and after the final assembly of a protein, the amino acid content dictates the spatial and biochemical properties of the protein or enzyme."\n\n"The amino acid backbone determines the primary sequence of a protein, but the nature of the side chains determines the protein's properties. Amino acid side chains can be polar, non-polar, or practically neutral. Polar side chains tend to be present on the surface of a protein where they can interact with the aqueous environment found in cells. On the other hand, non-polar amino acids tend to reside within the center of the protein where they can interact with similar non-polar neighbors. This can create a hydrophobic region within an enzyme where chemical reactions can be conducted in a non-polar atmosphere. Likewise, enzymes can also have polar amino acid substituents within the active site that provide a polar region in which to conduct biochemical synthesis."\n\n\n1. Structure of Amino Acids\n2.

what are the features of a successful daycare centre?

Amber is right, make sure you read the contracts very closely.  In my opinion a successful daycare is a place where your kids want to be.  Even though kids want to be home with you.  Their daycare should be a place where they feel comfortable.  Can make friends have constant supervision and lots of things to do to keep them busy and stimulate their minds.


Does anyone know the name or artist of this song?

The Greatest Risk- \nGirl, I drink in your beauty like a fine glass of wine \nSavor every moment, before they’re lost to time \nImages of you, dancing on the bluff above the sea \nWaves breaking on the cliffs, for eternity. \nAnd I want to hold you in my arms forever \nAnd I wish we could spend each moment together \nYes you’ll always be in my heart \nSo even if you leave  \nWe’ll never be apart \n\nAnd we run into each other in the silent hall \nThere’s things I wish I could tell you, but I do not wish to fall \nDo not wish to make a fool of myself and chase you away \nBut I love you more day after day \nAnd I want to hold you in my arms just one time \nI do not believe that’s a crime \nJust to hold you close to me \nTogether for that pinprick of life \nKnowing that you love me \n\nTime goes on, we speak less and less \nYou must despise me is my only guess \nSo further apart each day we slip \nI never did get to touch your lips \nNever did get to tell you how I truely feel \nLet you know my love for you is real \nSo the time slips away \nAnd you ignore me \nWhat does it matter anyway. \n\nYears pass at the blink of an eye \nYou’ve forgotten about me as time has passed by \nBut I still see you alone in the hall \nHow do I tell you about the deserts I’d crawl? \nJust to have you look at me once more \nTo have you see I’m the one you were waiting for \nWhy, why oh why did I run? \nI never told you how I felt \nAnd the greatest risk is not taking one. \nThe greatest risk is not taking one. \n  \nIs this the song your thinking of its by Logan Burdick and Ryan Jurnecka


Is there a cure for premature ejaculation???

Yes premature ejaculation like any other physical disease is curable. Premature ejaculation is one of the most common sexual dysfunction in men and exact cause of PE is unknown. Premature ejaculation can be cured by practicing relaxation techniques or using distraction methods can also help you in delaying ejaculation. You may practice techniques like Masters and Johnson Method, Simulation Technique or Squeeze Technique to exercise greater control over your performance. In addition, keeping a check over the alcohol intake and illegal drug usage is also helpful.

First you have to look at the age of the book.  The bible is cut into 2 general parts.  The new testament is from about 0ish AD  The old testament claims to go to the beginning of time.  \n\nNow, let's revisit the "Phone game" from kindergarten.  Before they had paper and pen, stories were told from generation to generation.  Now let’s say there are 4-6 generations per century.  So the “phone game” is passed from person to person many times per century.  Hmmm, having been in kindergarten, I seem to remember that each retelling seemed to change fact into fiction.  Since the Old testament dates before written techniques, we can surmise that it is folklore and not fiction.  Now the new testament is a different story.  Here we know that monk’s mostly did the copying of the bible.  However we also know that kings enforced changes to suit the times. So if it is socially acceptable to change the text, who is to say that what you read is even remotely true.\n\nNow let’s add in the ambiguity of language.  The last time you read a Shakespearean play, did you take it verbatim word for word?  The bible also uses such vague diction.  Taken literally would be insane.  The moral basis of the text is good, but little fact can be derived from the text. \n\nNow for my personal opinion.  You can trust it to teach a general set of good morals to live by.  Aside from that, it is a good story.

How many girls or women would go out with a shubby guy?

My bf used to be chubby, not VERY, but a little, but I still fell in love with him =). So to me it doesn't matter. What matters is who YOU are. You can lose weight. It's not easy, but it's possible. Once thing you can't ever change is your personality. A rotten guy who is athletic will always be rotten. A nice and polite guy who isn't very athletic, will always be nice and polite AND can become athletic if that's what he wants.

M1 Abrams or M2 Bradley, which is a better combat vehicle?

M1 Abrams is USA MBT (Main Battle Tank), of course it have better armor and better firepower. M2 Bradley only have a single 25mm machinegun, another machinegun placed coaxially and several TOWs missile (more later variant carry less missiles) meanwhile M1 have a 12.7mm machinegun, two 7.62mm machinegun and one 105 mm rifled tank gun (for original M1) or 120 mm smoothbore gun (for M1A1 & M1A2) that able to shoot many type of shells. Obviously, M1 have better accuracy than M2 (M1 have better aiming equipment), considering M1 main role (M2 is APC, not MBT). M2 was created because the existing APC at that time can't compete with M1 speed, hindering M1 overall movement. So using M1 base, they create M2, APC version of M1.\n\nSo, M1 absolutely tougher and have more firepower than M2. And they both have the same speed. And for reliable, as they have different role (MBT and APC), I can't say which is better. But one thing for sure, M2 isn't bad because their survivability rate is very high.\n\nOf course, in battle, I feel a lot safer in M1 than in M2. But if I can choose, I definitely want to be inside Merkava Mk-IV, it's the best MBT in this world (of course, it's more superior than M1 Abrams).


If energy cannot be created or destroyed what does this say about life after death?

Not much that I know of.\n\nWhat you say about energy is accurate, however, the energy in the body is maintained by chemical reactions which keep the body warm and at 98.6 F. Energy flows out of the body as heat, and exits the surface of the body as infrared radiation. When you die, the chemical reactions slow to a stop, and the cells break down chemically to give up their last ergs of organized energy. The heat produced also radiates away from the body as infrared radiation until the body reaches equilibrium with its environment and absorbs as much infrared 'heat' radiation as it emits.\n\nSo far as we know, that is all there is to the process of death, and there is no violation of energy conservation.\n\nHope this helps,\nUltimeaciax

Does it make sense to contribute to a traditional IRA if you do not get the tax deduction on your tax returns?

Yes, it may.\n\nRoth is a better choice.  But if you make too much money to qualify for a Roth IRA (and it doesn't take much - I think $150K or something pretty minimal), then you may want to contribute to a traditional IRA, on the bet that you can postpone the taxes on your gains, at the hope that your tax rate will be less when you withdraw the money.


I need some thoughts or examples about what i wrote below. What do you think about this ?

Industrialization, WW1, and WW2 changed roles of women in society.  Barriers for women in corporate American are still present the glass ceiling is still there and women still make .75 cents to the 1.00 when compared to men in the corporate setting.  A women’s role is society should be the same as a mans.  Same rights and privileges.  I do believe that women and men both have the right to be stay at home parents if they chose.


How do i find the ip address of someone who sent me an email?

So you cannot see the specific IP address of the sender, but you can trace back to their email gateway.\n\nThese instructions will vary depending on the email client you have, however, it should be possible to view the internet header. For example on Outlook, you can do this within the message by, selecting view, then options.\n\nAnyway parse through the header and you will see the IP address of the various servers the message has passed through.

Does it bother you that job listings rarely tell what the income is?

No, it doesn't bother me, although it is convenient if they post a range.  Usually only government listings do that.  I think there is enough variety in the marketplace, not only in what is expected of a given position, but what the employer will "settle for" once he sees who applies for a position.  The more we have set expectations for a given job title, the more trouble is created when a job does not fit the assumptions.  I am a "legal secretary," and there is a large body of assumptions about what that is, what I should know, and what I should expect to be paid.  But a law firm might be huge, with lots of benefits and support staff to do a lot of the routine tasks for me, or it might be a one-lawyer office, where I am expected to do everything, even water the plants.  If there was a "standard" salary, or even range, for such work, they would end up having to use different definitions, or put roman numerals after the title: become more rigid and beaurocratic than they already are.  Let's leave room for a prospective employer and employee to work it out for themselves.

What would the square footage be for an octagon with 72feet sides?

So you've got an eight-sided figure and each side is 72-feet.  If you draw horizontal and vertical lines from each vertex (the angles where sides meet) to the other side of the octagon, you'll see that the octagon can be split up into one large square (in the center), four rectangles (up, down, left and right), and four triangles (in the corners).  You following me?  Get out a pencil and get to it!  Okay.  So what are lengths of your square's sides?  You'll note that the square has 72-foot sides, just like the original octagon.  Since you know how to find the area of the square, you're on your way.\n\nNext.  you have four rectangles, each with a length of 72-feet, but the short end - the width, how do we figure out the width of the rectangle?  Okay.  Look at your triangles.  Each triangle has one side of 72 feet - the side which is the outside of the octagon - and then two equal sides - it's an isosceles triangle with a 90-degree angle.\n\nOkay, time to call on pythagoras.  Pythagorean theorem states that a^2 + b^2 = c^2.  What that means is this: If you take the length of sides a and b (the ones we don't know) and square them, and add them together, the answer will be 72-squared (side C).  Too bad I'm not there with you to make this part easier to understand.  We know that a and b are equal in this case because our triangle is isosceles.  Therefore, 2x^2 is equal to 72^2.  This gives us a messy equation wherein our answer is, x is ROUGHLY equal to 51 feet.\n\nSo.  You have a square with sides 72 feet long.  You have 4 rectangles each with length 72 and width 51.  You have 4 triangles each with base 51 feet and height 72 feet.  You know that squares and rectangles have an area equal to length times width, and triangles have an area equal to one-half base times height.\n\nCalculate the area for your 9 figures and add them together.  THAT will be the square footage of your octagon.\n\nWhat... did you think I was going to do it ALL for you?


Why did the German government introduce Submarine warfare?

I presume you mean "unrestricted" submarine warfare.\n\nThe short answer was to win the war.  A better answer was because the English blockade of of Germany had the effect of starving the German populace of both food and resources.\n\nDuring WW1, the British Navy was the most powerful force in the world.  The German surface Navy could not hope to be an effective counter to it, so Germany had to resort to tactics other than traditional surface conflict.  Submarines or Unterseebooten (U-Boats) were one means employed by the Germans.  U-Boats were the "Stealth Bombers" of thier day.  They could sneak up on surface ships undetected, and sink them with torpedoes.\n\nGermany's policy of unrestricted submarine warfare was originally instituted to combat the overwhelming superiority of the English Navy, but when they started sinking un-armed vessels with other nations peoples on board (specifically Americans) this helped draw America into the war.  When the American's arrived, it tipped the balance in favor of the allies ultimately losing the war for Germany.


Can you upgrade the cpu in a presario 722US? What could you upgrade to?

I looked up and see that Presario 722US has these:\n\n# 1.1GHz Duron Morgan with SSE\n# VIA KN133 chipset\n# 240MB PC100 SDRAM (384MB max)\n\nBased on these, I suggest you don't upgrade. A faster CPU is probably not going to work with PC100 SDRAM. These specs are too old to accept any recent CPU. Besides, a faster CPU may cause heat problems in the Laptop.

No, I have found out in subsequent years that very nice people I know with families were really gay and they became happy only when they admitted they were gay. It was a shock to me, but they were the same nice people they always were, they were just born gay and tried to be like everyone else. Their brains are different.\n\nFor Gay Men, an Attraction to a\nDifferent Kind of Scent\n\nby Nicholas Wade\nPublished May 10, 2005, NYTimes.com\n\n\nUsing a brain imaging technique, Swedish researchers have shown that homosexual and heterosexual men respond differently to two odors that may be involved in sexual arousal, and that the gay men respond in the same way as women.\n\nThe new research may open the way to studying human pheromones, as well as the biological basis of sexual preference. Pheromones, chemicals emitted by one individual to evoke some behavior in another of the same species, are known to govern sexual activity in animals, but experts differ as to what role, if any, they play in making humans sexually attractive to one another.\n\nThe new research, which supports the existence of human pheromones, is reported in today's issue of The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences by Dr. Ivanka Savic and colleagues at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm.\n\nThe two chemicals in the study were a testosterone derivative produced in men's sweat and an estrogen-like compound in women's urine, both of which have long been suspected of being pheromones.\n\nMost odors cause specific smell-related regions of the human brain to light up when visualized by a form of brain imaging that tracks blood flow in the brain and therefore, by inference, sites where neurons are active. Several years ago, Dr. Savic and colleagues showed that the two chemicals activated the brain in a quite different way from ordinary scents.\n\nThe estrogen-like compound, though it activated the usual smell-related regions in women, lighted up the hypothalamus in men. This is a region in the central base of the brain that governs sexual behavior and, through its control of the pituitary gland lying just beneath it, the hormonal state of the body.\n\nThe male sweat chemical, on the other hand, did just the opposite; it activated mostly the hypothalamus in women and the smell-related regions in men. The two chemicals seemed to be leading a double life, playing the role of odor with one sex and of pheromone with another.\n\nThe Swedish researchers have now repeated the experiment but with the addition of gay men as a third group. The gay men responded to the two chemicals in the same way as did women, Dr. Savic reports, as if the hypothalamus's response is determined not by biological sex but by the owner's sexual orientation.\n\nDr. Savic said that she had also studied gay women, but that the data were "somewhat complicated" and not yet ready for publication.\n\nThe finding is similar to a report in 1991 by Dr. Simon LeVay that a small region of the hypothalamus is twice as large in straight men as in women or gay men. The brain scanning technique used by the Swedish researchers lacks the resolution to see the region studied by Dr. LeVay, which is a mere millimeter or so across. But both findings suggest that the hypothalamus is organized in a way related to sexual orientation.\n\nThe new finding, if confirmed, would break ground in two important directions, those of human pheromones and human sexuality.\n\nMice are known to influence each other's sexual behavior through emission of chemicals that act like hormones on the recipient's brain and so are known as pheromones. Hopes by the fragrance industry, among others, of finding human pheromones were dashed several years ago when it emerged that a tiny structure in the nose through which mice detect many pheromones, the vomeronasal organ, is largely inactive in humans, having lost its nervous connection with the brain.\n\nResearchers interpreted that to mean that humans

Not just storks ... but migrating birds in general  usually fly in the "V" formation.  This has been studied by a lot of very educated people in many colleges and universities.  Aerodynamics is the best guess answer. Each bird taking advantage of the wing tip vortices of the uplifting air of the bird in front of it.  This updraft actually lifts the bird making it's flight a little easier.


Young women, what is more important for you to date a guy, for him being rich or physically attractive? Choose

Based on a comprehensive research study I just completed- it proves that the number one trait women look for most when they are searching for a mate is financial stability and social status- physical attractiveness is further down on the list- HOWEVER, for males, it is opposite- the number one quality men look for in women is physical attractiveness\n\nI am not sure how young you are talking when you say "young women" but I am 22 and financial security is more important to me than physcial attractiveness, which as I said above, falls into the norm\n\nThe one stipulation to this rule of thumb is what kind of relationship one is looking for- if a female is looking for a lifetime mate, the above remains true- however younger girls (pre-teen, teen) may not fall into that norm- Also if a person is looking only for a casual, sexual relationship, in that case physical attractiveness is more important

what will president bush's state of the union address consist of tonight?

I've read (from CNN I think) that he plans on covering 'kitchen table' topics, such as the rising costs of health care, higher education and energy.  He's also going to give us a recap of the war on terror and I've heard rumours a framework for withdraw (based on check points, not dates) from Iraq will be laid out.  He'll probably talk about his tax cuts helping out the economy as well as try to cast the economy in a healthier light than many Americans think that it is right now, probably by highlighting strong corporate earnings and yet another boost in American economic productivity.  I, for one, am excited (and no, I'm not Republican, I'm just curious what/how he is going to say).


find tutorials on artificial intelligence?

Artificial - easy to define. Man made. \n\nIntelligence - Not so easy to define.\n\nStudy psychology. Learn how to quantify the concept of intelligence. \n\nRather than starting with the result, artificial intelligence, start with the basic components of the problem. Once a concept is thoroughly understood, it can be coded. It should make no difference what concept that is. \n\nIf you would like to see what others have done, look at universities' websites, and you might find something interesting. MIT has an AI lab, as do other fine institutions. You should be able to find a good amount of information on the progress and history of AI research.\n\nGood Luck to you.

How concerned should the US be concerning the bird flu and what essentials should we have preparations for flu

very concerned, think about chain reactions. lets say i have a infected chicken, and i skin it. i give the feathers to a pillow company and the rest to a processing company. lets say that a woman with three children buys the chicken, and she works at a school. think of all those people the workers and children pass by at work/school, and the people they love. that is serious.\n\nYes we should, unfortunately, we dont have antibodies for the avian flu.

What are the job requirements to become a musical producer ?

Aspiring musicians begin studying an instrument at an early age. They may gain valuable experience playing in a school or community band or an orchestra or with a group of friends. Singers usually start training when their voices mature. Participation in school musicals or choirs often provides good early training and experience.\n\nMany colleges, universities, and music conservatories grant bachelor’s or higher degrees in music. A master’s or doctoral degree usually is required to teach advanced music courses in colleges and universities; a bachelor’s degree may be sufficient to teach basic courses. A degree in music education qualifies graduates for a State certificate to teach music in public elementary or secondary schools. Musicians who do not meet public school music education requirements may teach in private schools and recreation associations or instruct individual students in private sessions.\nEarnings [About this section]  Back to Top \n\nMedian hourly earnings of musicians and singers were $17.85 in May 2004. The middle 50 percent earned between $9.68 and $30.75. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $6.47, and the highest 10 percent earned more than $53.59. Median hourly earnings were $20.70 in performing arts companies and $12.17 in religious organizations

how the Integration can be memorized easily? how to program Calculus in C++?

sadly, there is no easy way to remember how to do integrals.  integrating is a major, bigtime pain in the ass.  for this reason people buy books of tables of integrals - they are quite literally a whole book filled with integrals of various forms, with solutions.  very useful if you have to do them a lot.\n\nalso, wolfram research, who create the mathematica software, have an online integrator that usually works (but sometimes gives you ridiculous answers, so use with care):  http://integrals.wolfram.com/\n\nas for programming - numerical methods for doing calculus are pretty easy.  if you have a function and want to integrate it, just divide it up into a bunch of rectangular slices, where the height of the rectangle is the value of the function in the middle of the slice, and the width of the slice is as small as you need it to be.  then just add all the areas up.  the smaller the width, the more accurate the calculation will be, but the longer it will take, so your accuracy is limited only by your patience and the speed of your computer.\n\na slightly more accurate method is to approximate the top of the rectangle with a parabola - this is called simpson's method:  http://spiff.rit.edu/classes/phys317/lectures/num_integ2/num_integ2.html\n\nthough quite honestly, computers are so fast these days that it's hardly worth the bother of figuring it out.  just using more rectangular slices and letting it run for a few minutes should almost always do the trick.\n\ncheers

why established good companies with very good stock market record called as blue chip companies?

In gambling casinos, mooney is used too buy chips to use at the gambling tables, etc.  The highest priced chips (which come in several denoominations) are the "blue chips."  A blue chip stock is top of the heap, like GE, but it has little too do with the cost per share now.  A $90 per share stock can be split three-for-one so that 100 shares at $90 become 300 shares at $30 per share.  So Blue Chip is an informal rating of the stock's reputation as top shelf.

I need braces can any one tell me how they feel when you gat them and more it would realy help me?

It doesn't hurt as much as people say getting them on.  The next few days will hurt because your mouth is getting used to it.  also, your lips might feel like they are bulging out because the braces are there, expecially on the bottom. Every time you go back and get the bands changed, it might hurt the day after, but just take some painkillers BEFORE you go.(you don't want to have to wait for it to work)If you have to wear headgear (this will be something you would have to wear attached to your braces to keep them in the same place, hopefully you won't have this) it will be uncomfortable, and if you must wear them when you sleep, it may be diffult to go to sleep at night, but you get used to it.  If you have to wear them during the day, I feel sorry for you, as it is a great embarrasment to most people.  also, your teeth will be more sensative so whatch what you eat.\nGood luck, and don't worry!


Factors of production are resources used in the production of goods and services in economics. Classical economics distinguishes between three factors:\n\nLand or natural resources - naturally-occurring goods such as soil and minerals that are used in the creation of products. The payment for land is rent. \nLabor - human effort used in production which also includes technical and marketing expertise. The payment for labor is a wage. \nCapital goods - human-made goods (or means of production) which are used in the production of other goods. These include machinery, tools and buildings. In a general sense, the payment for capital is called interest.

rules on withdrawing money from an IRA before age 59 1/2?

For a 401K, unless it's for a true hardship, you will pay a stiff penalty.  Check with your plan administrator but I believe it's around 25%, plus you will have to pay taxes on the amount if if was on a pretax plan and lose the the money's ability to work for you in the inventment.  Unless you have absolutely no other option, it's really best to leave the money alone.  You'll be glad you did later.


what search engine gives the most relivent search results?

Some people at the Search Engine Roundtable did a test and said Yahoo! and Google are about the same with Yahoo! having a slight lead on relevancy.


A genotype is the actual genetic code of an organism, the sequence of the base pairs on the DNA. The phenotype is what those genes actually express, what you would see if you looked at the organism.\n\nSay there's a gene that controls the color of a mouse's fur. We'll call the dominant form of the gene which gives brown fur, B. The recessive form, for white fur, will be b.\n\nA mouse gets one copy of the gene (called an allele) from each parent, for a total of two. That means there are three combinations of alleles: BB, bb, and Bb. A mouse with two recessive alleles will be white, and a mouse with two dominant alleles will be brown. A heterozygous mouse (with one dominant and one recessive copy) will also be brown.\n\nGenotype          Phenotype\nbb                White\nBB                Brown\nBb                Brown\n\nSo even though the BB and Bb mice have different genotypes, they have the same phenotype.\n\nIn the example above, the phenotypic ratio would reflect the amount of mice of a different color in a population. For example, if you crossed two heterozygous mice, the brown to white ratio of the offspring would be 3:1. The genotypic ratio, reflecting the genetic code of the offspring (BB to Bb to bb), would be 1:2:1.


I've never been a fan of the "either or" game. I think the evidence is pretty solid that your genes DO play a role in major traits like this - but it's a role of PREDISPOSITION, not one that dooms you to become an alcoholic, or obese, or anything like that.\n\nFor those with a family history of alcoholism, it may be easier for them to become alcoholics - but only after an environment has allowed them to do so. You're not predestined to become an alcoholic, but if you do, it will be much harder for you than for others to quit.\n\nSo don't try to place the blame on any one factor, although it's easy to do. Major developments like this usually have a host of factors that contributed to them. Try to cover your bases and make sure you don't put yourself in a compromising position.


Why are people so jealous? Even friends seem to be very jealous sometimes. why am i never jealous?

That's really two questions! The first is people are afraid of who they might find if they really take a good look at themselves or think about thier own strengths and weaknesses, so they unconsciously choose to distract themselves by focusing on others. The second is that you are self confident and not afraid of who you are!

I would check with your university first and see if they have any set relationships with Dow Chemical or other international firm you would like to work with.\n\nOtherwise you would have to contact each companies HR deprtment and try to speak with someone there about internetional work programs or recruiting programs they have.  You might also simply put your resume on HotJobs and Monster.com and see what happens.


Pick up a router.  If you don't want to run cables, you can pick up a wireless router and a wireless network card from most electronics stores.  Run an ethernet cable from the DSL modem to the router's WAN port, and then the router will share the connection with all machines attached to it.  If you have any questions on setup or equipment choices, feel free to email me...\n\nYou could do Internet Connection Sharing in Windows XP, but that would require a different setup... let me know what you're more interested in doing... either way you'll have to have some networking equipment so that you can connect the two machines...\n\nLater!


How would you cite a PowerPoint presentation? URGENT?

Tough one to answer because I don't know the context of the ppt presentation. The fact that it was a powerpoint presentation isn't really the relevent aspect of how you reference it; the relevent aspect is where you saw the power point presentation. Here are some guidelines for the different ways in which you could have encountered the ppt presentation:\n\nIf it was part of a conference presentation:\n\nCrespo, C. J. (1998 March). Update on national data\n     on asthma. Paper presented at the meeting of\n     the National Asthma Education and Prevention\n     Program, Leesburg, VA.\n\nIf it was posted on a website without a date:\n\nNielsen, M. E. (n.d.). Notable people in psychology of religion. Retrieved August 3, 2001, from  http://www.psywww.com/psyrelig/psyrelpr.htm (if it has a date put the date where it says n.d.)\n\n\nIf it was your professors ppt presentation from class, then I would cite it in your work as a personal communication. This is the one that is the most difficult to figure out how to do. Because a personal communication is not "recoverable" information, it is not included in the References section. For the text citation, use the following format: \n\nB. F. Skinner (personal communication, February 12, 1978).\n\nHope this helps.


what does the legal term 'of counsel' mean?

of counsel: A phrase which indicates that the person named is assisting another lawyer in a cause or the trial of a case. A common designation for associate attorneys to distinguish them from the attorneys of record in a cause.\n\nThis is sometimes used for an experienced attorney in a firm who does not want to be a partner. They will be paid a salary, but will not have a partnership stake in the firm.\n\nHere is a better definition:\n\nOf counsel is in reference to an attorney who is not actively involved in the day-to-day work of a law firm, but may be available in particular matters or for consultation. This designation often identifies a semi-retired partner, an attorney who occasionally uses the office for a few clients or one who only consults on a particular case or on his/her specialty. Putting the name of the attorney "of counsel" on a law firm's stationery gives the office the prestige of the lawyer's name and reputation, without requiring his/her full-time presence.


What is the way to recovery from Diabetes Mellitus?

First of all, that's a lot of questions to answer in the small space provided here, but I will try to give you some starting points. \n\nTalking with your doctor is your best place to begin. He / she can steer you in the right direction toward meeting your health goals. \n\nAs for food.... consult with a registered dietician or nutritionist for professional advice. Some basic pointers are:\n-- Avoid high-sugar content foods.Trade out regular soft drinks for more healthy options such as water, tea (not sweetened with sugar), or diet soft drinks. \n-- Avoid high-carb foods. Carbs are often metabolized as glucose and will cause your blood sugar to rise in much the same fashion as sugary foods. Potatoes, pastas, and breads are among high-carb foods. \n-- Avoid high-fat foods, in order to reduce cholesterol. Plan out low-fat meals and avoid frying when possible. Cholesterol and diabetes go hand in hand, so reducing one (also reducing your triglycerides) will have a positive effect on the other. \n-- Avoid high-sodium foods. Try to watch your salt intake as much as possible. Sodium is a cause of high blood pressure, which is also a sister-syndrome of diabetes. \n-- Avoid alcoholic beverages. Limit your alcohol intake to the minimal. While most alcoholic mixed drinks are high in sugar content (in the mixers) and beers are high in carbs, alcohol can actually cause hypoglycemic reactions. \n\nWhen it comes to diabetic meal planning, portion control is really the main key. Limit your portion sizes and avoid over-indulging. Some sugar, carbs, fats, and salt are actually okay and are impossible to avoid, but avoid excess. \n\nThere is no set time interval at which you should eat, however it is recommended that you eat small snacks (healthy, of course) throughout the day and 3 meals a day. Being on a regular meal schedule has a major effect on your blood sugar levels so try to eat around the same time everyday. \n************************ \nUnfortunately, there is no cure for diabetes, but with proper medical control you can definitely lead a healthy and happy life. Control is the key to taming the disease. Take medication as prescribed, eat the right diet, and exercise regularly. \n\nThere are great resources around in nearly every community so take advantage of those. Join a diabetic support group in your area or solicit the services of a Certified Diabetes Educator near you. Your local health department is likely a great resource as well when it comes to diabetes. \n\nGood luck and best wishes...


Tough one.  These scenarios usually become an issue over time, so a quick fix is usually not the best.  Aggressive individuals usually prey on others that allow "bullying" tactics.  As the aggressor sees the weakness, they get comfortable treating the person like that over time and expect a certain response.\n\nIf you want to curtail the behaviour, start standing up in a non-offensive manner and tell him why you can't stay late or work weekends or whatever.  Make excuses, even lie if you have to. Just make it difficult for him to expect the unreasonable.

Which will be the best way to treat an old lady with senile madness, besides her medicine?

Sounds like she could have some sort of dementia.  I work with people like this.  It never helps to argue with them!  Go along with the stories, try to keep her busy and distracted from things that upset her.  People with dementia live in a pretend world, mostly disconnected from reality.  Run a search for Alzheimer's services in your area, there should be social workers you can talk to for help.


What does it mean when a guy saids he needs space, please would like answers from guys?

well Im not a guy---but this is exacly what it means--and this is from experience.\nWhen a guy says that--they are basically not interested anymore--either they have meet someone else or is totally loosing interest in you and wants to know if after the space is given to find out if he cares for you or is just "used" to you.\nabout 4 years ago my boyfriend told me the same thing--I was really confused---so I decided to give him what he was asking for--we both agreed we would give eachother 2 months-----and he dated someone else--but after like 3 weeks he was callign me and I realized how much I had missed him too!  WE got back together and have been happy since--so I think a little of space is good in a relationship.


Go to college. Get good grades. Do an internship. Start applying for jobs in the early winter or early spring.

Apply within.\n\nIf you are looking for credit card numbers that you can use on the internet, that is illegal for most uses... \n\nIf you are looking for valid credit card numbers for testing an internal application, usually you can make those up or query your software for the correct algorithm.\n\nIf you are looking for valid credit card numbers to test with your application in a live situation with a real bank etc, you are usually out of luck. You will need to contact your bank or financial institution and enquire about whether they have a "sandbox" environment to test in. These environments will accept "dummy" credit card numbers.\n\nYou can not (and should not) use real credit cards to test your application. If you insist on doing so, you can use your own card, with all the consequenses thereof...\n\nGood luck!


Can you feel a sense of loss when you never really owned  the subject in the first place??

Yes you can.... and no, it is not something that happens to everyone because not everyone has been in your shoes.\n\nThis is probably happening to you because you ARE in love with him. Does he know how you feel about him? Do you feel like he needs to know? How does he feel about you?\n\nCould you be feeling this way because you were/are hoping for more? And maybe you feel like more could have been said or done while he was there? \n\nCommunication is the key Hon.\n\nJust a few things to think about

If the unwanted e-mail is something you originally signed up for, or from an online merchant (like ebay.com, circuitcity.com, etc.) they are required to have a link at the bottom of their e-mails that allows you to be removed from their mailing list. If you're referring to spam, make sure your e-mail address isn't posted anywhere public on the Internet (message boards, for example). If those places require you to have a public e-mail address listed but seem to be producing spam, you might consider creating a "junk" email address to be used just for those purposes so you don't have to have the spam coming to your regular e-mail address.


Don't look now, but is that dog laughing?\nSusan Milius\n\nAmid all the panting, a dog at play makes a distinctive, breathy exhalation that can trigger playfulness in other dogs, says a Nevada researcher. Yes, it might be the dog version of a laugh. \n\n \nDogs at play give breathy exhalation (top) that differs from standard pants (bottom, arrows). \nSimonet\n \n\n"To an untrained human ear, it sounds much like a pant, 'hhuh, hhuh,'" says Patricia Simonet of Sierra Nevada College in Lake Tahoe. However, this exhalation bursts into a broader range of frequencies than does regular dog panting, Simonet discovered when she and her students analyzed recordings. \n\nThey observed the bursts during play but not in aggressive clashes, Simonet reported in Corvallis, Ore., last week at a meeting of the Animal Behavior Society. \n\nGordon Burghardt of the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, who theorizes about the evolution of play, says Simonet's presentation caught his interest. Her dog-laughing proposal needs more testing, he cautions. But he notes that other scientists have proposed that nonhuman primates and even rodents laugh. \n\nSimonet's team investigated the question by standing in parks with a parabolic microphone that enables them to record dog hubbub from a distance. "People kept coming up to talk to us, so we finally had to wear signs explaining that we were trying to record," she says. \n\nSimonet differentiates a broader-frequency exhalation from pants by calling it a laugh. With recordings of such laughs and growls, the researchers tested 15 mostly young dogs in an observation room. When the researchers broadcast the laugh, a puppy often picked up a toy or trotted toward a presumed playmate, if a person or another dog was in the room. Simonet's own best attempt at the laugh likewise prompted dogs to look for a romp. Broadcasting growls elicited no such effects. \n\nThis dog-exhalation study reopens many questions about whether animals laugh, comments Brian Knutson of the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Md. He has recorded chirps that laboratory rats give as they wrestle with each other. Rats also chirp before receiving morphine or having sex. He interprets the sound as indicating "the rat expects something rewarding." \n\nSuch phenomena help neuroscientists trace the brain's reward circuitry, Knutson explains. He says he's unsure about how to compare the chirp of a romping rat to the guffaw of a person. "I think we've done a decent job of figuring out what it means in the rat," he says. "Now the onus is on the human researchers." \n\nAnother analyst of rat chirps, Jaak Panksepp of Bowling Green (Ohio) University, has recorded the animals' ultrasonic squeaks while he tickled them. "Of course, you have to know the rat," he cautions. He says he is open to the possibility that the rat chirps amount to laughter in the animal world. Also, he suggests that Simonet's team could search for animal laughter by recording the sound dogs make when they are tickled. \n\nYet another student of play, Marc Bekoff of the University of Colorado in Boulder, says he thinks he knows the panting sound Simonet describes. "When I get down on all fours and go up to dogs and go 'hhuhahhuhahhuh,' they get very solicitous," he says. "Whether it turns out to be like a laugh or not doesn't matter in the end, because what's important are all the questions it opens up about how communications work."

While at one time the manufacture of fashion jewelry included the use of inexpensive glass components - most notably rhinestones, or a manmade material known as "lucite" - all set in a base metal of pewter, nickel or brass, today the fashion jewelry category also includes high end crystals, simulated gemstones, CZs or cubic zirconia simulated diamonds, and lab created gemstones as well as some semi-precious stones and sometimes wood. Metals include gold-over-brass, silver-over-brass, and sometimes gold-over-silver (known as vermeil), as well as sterling silver. In lower priced fashion jewelry you may still find gold plating over pewter, nickel or assorted other metals, and sometimes fashion jewelry imported from countries outside the United States may contain lead. Some less expensive fashion jewelry can also contain componants made of plastic or acrylic.

I am looking for lesson plans to use in my 2nd grade classroom regarding the '06 Winter Olympics.?

This is just off the top of my  head so all the details aren't worked out.  \n1.  Divide your class into different countries (groups of 2, 3, or 4)\n2.  They make a flag for their country \n     a)  they can do this on construction paper\n     b)  they can print a flag off the internet\n3.  Make up a worksheet for them to find answers on  about their country.  (Since they are only in 2nd grade maybe something like the following)\n     a)  continent country is located\n     b) language they speak\n     c)  interesting fact\nI don't know just some easy stuff.\n3.  They could then draw a map of their country and name the continent and the capital.\n4.  Maybe at recess or better you could get the P.E. teacher to have them compete in some relays, races, shooting baskets, jumproping, hopping, walking with a book on their head, somethings that are fun.\n5. From these competitions you could give gold, silver and bronze medals or certificates.\n6.  Have a place in the room or the hallway to display the teams, their flags, maps, and medals or certificates, etc (so the other kids, teachers, and especially the principal could see it)\n7.  They might in their groups do a KWL chart concerning the olympics or their country and have that up also.\n8.  Probably should write a short summary about their feeling concerning learning about new countries, olympics, etc.\n9.  They could graph the teams and places all of them came in during the competitions.\n\nI know this isn't a great detailed lesson but it does incorporate reading, english, social studies, math, health, and writing.\n\nYou could do this for a whole week or spread it out over a couple of weeks.  I'm sure anything you have to teach (per the almight state) you could probably work into this.\n\nI did something like this on a larger scale with 6 other teachers.  It was great fun.\n\nI suggest you get the books needed for the kids ahead of time and then you can see which countries would be the easiest to work with.\n\nAnyway, good luck.

statistics:the mathematical theory of ignorance, why?

I guess it´s because in statistics you only express to what degree you don´t know the answer. For example, in statistical inference, when you estimate the average height of freshmen at your school by sampling a group of 20 students, you´ll come up with an answer like: a 95% confidence interval that the average height (if ALL students were measured) is within 1.75m and 1.85m. Putting it the other way around, there is a 5% chance that the actual average will be outside of this interval. THAT is the measure of your ignorance (5%).


Women, does having to control your orgasmic noises (to not bother roommates or neighbors) decrease?

It doesn't bother me.  In all actualty sometimes it helps excite me more knowing that someone else might hear how much I am pleasing (or being pleased) my partner.  My "friend" actually told me that he likes the way my face scrunches up when I can't be vocal about it. But if it really bothers you, try not to focus on it at much and it will get better.

what is an academic curriculm? Discuss it pls, everything about it?

Typically an academic curriculum is a set of guidelines a school district has adopted that explains how their teachers will address the state requirements the schools are required to teach. Each state has specific objectives students are expected to learn each year, and by creating a detailed curriculum, the school is telling the state that the objectives are being covered. For example, one objective for freshman English in the state of Texas require the students to read a tragedy from Shakespeare. Most schools have selected to use Romeo and Juliet to cover this objective.\n\nEven though private schools do not have to follow state guidelines, they will typically borrow the state guidelines in writing their curriculum and expand on the basic objectives. Continuing the example from above, a private school can expand the objective by requiring students to analyze two Shakespearian tragedies their freshman year.

do u think one can really love?if ucan to what extent does it go/?

Thinking has nothing to do with Love.  Thinking is what prevents Love.  Thinking is how humans end up with emotions like jealousy, envy, sadness,  grief or depression.  No one thinks themselves into Love.\nDo I feel one can really love?  Yep, been there, done that, got the T-shirt and wore it out (the T-shirt, not the love).\nTo what extent can it go?  There are no limits.  Love expands to fill as much as one allows.  Love inspires poems, stories, movies, relationships, the very fabric of society.  Love brings out the best, improves the worst and promotes tolerance and understanding.  Not just between two people, but humanity as a whole.  Lovers usually don’t have road rage, forget their biases and ignore the need for food, rest and often even sleep.\nAnd the strangest thing about love, is just when most give up and start to believe that Love will never touch them,  BLAM, that is when Love usually finds them.\nLove is the greatest mystery in a Universe of Unknowns and Unknowables.


if he's hurting you now... imagine how much more he's going to hurt you if you stick around. That's not what love is all about. For real, that's not what love is all about.\n\nNo one deserves to be treated like that. You wouldn't treat someone you cared about like that... why are you letting someone do that to you. \n\nMove on and don't look back. Even if he calls and you want to answer... don't, cuz he already has shown you his disrespect for you. to him, your just a filler.\n\nThere is nothing insane in being with someone who wants to be with you and enjoys and loves you.\n\nGirl, don't get sucked into his world... get out before he makes you suffer even more. \n\nOne day you will look back and realize you did the best thing cuz your gonna have someone who will really appreciate and love you.


Hey religious, answer this one. Say you're a juror in a case, civil or criminal, it doesn't matter............

I think I'd give him/her more credit.  By refusing, they held strong to their beliefs, something I see as a sign of good character (even if those beliefs do not match up to my own).  Either way, as a juror, I'd try to be as objective as possible.

What happens to the temperature of air when it expands and drops on pressure?

The cause and effect relationship of pressure vs air temperature is that changes in the temperature cause a change in pressure, not the other way around.\n\nAssuming a lab enviornment, a drastic increase in pressure, when done quickly, causes an increase in temperature.  This is just a temporary increase, however, caused by friction of the air molecules.  I would not expect the air temperature to change by decreasing the temperature of the air, whether it is through the evacuation of air or an increase of the size of the test container.\n\nBottom line is.... nothing happens to the temperature of air.  \n\nThis is an interesting idea for an experiment - one I think I will set up for my kids.

how do you determine the number of neutrons in an atom?

Look up the atomic mass (sometimes called atomic weight) on the periodic table, and subtract the atomic number from it.  The atomic mass is (practically) equal to the total number of protons and neutrons, and the atomic number is equal to the number of protons.  When you subtract atomic number from atomic mass your subtracting the number of protons from the total number of protons and neutrons, which leaves you with just neutrons.

That bites. I still say it has nothing to do with you or your personality. There's nothing wrong with being generous and wanting to help others.\nThe problem is very obviously him. Why he'd think it was okay to ask you for the money, I can't imagine and it's none or our business. \nThe old adage goes, "Loan money to friends when you can afford never to see it again." But then there's also the idea that if you give all you can, you'll be given back twice or thrice as much.\nIt's never pathetic to lend a hand, even if it winds being that you tried to help a jerk. Maybe the fact is he just has more growing up to do. He may be mad now, but I'm sure even this "jerk" will remember that you TRIED, and in hindsight will realize you were a great friend and one he should have made efforts to keep.\nKnow that you did the kind thing, and in the end that makes it the right thing. Have peace within your self, let the poison of this incident wash away.\n\nBe well, J


do any of you know what a recording engineer does? or a mix engineer, cuz thats kinda what i want to do?

recording engineer is usually the engineer who sets levels, places microphones and or gets the general sound out of the instrument recorded on some type of medium. The mix engineer works with the recording further by adjusting different levels and blending sounds together to create a more cohesive sound. There is also usually a step after all of this reserved for a mastering engineer who optimizes the recording before commiting to mass reproduction.

hi, i am looking for careers, and i wanted to know if hotel managment is a dead end career.?

Hotels are going up everywhere and there are so many different jobs that you can get in the hospitality field.  The main thing to think about when considering hotel management is to start getting experience in many entry level positions so that you have a working knowledge of many departments within the hotel industry.  For example, you might consider working at the front desk for a little while, housekeeping for a little while, accounting, night auditor position, and then eventually qualify for a front desk supervisor, assistant general manager, and then up to a hotel manager.  But, you might consider getting experience in order to be in the upper levels of management that provide a decent standard of living.  It depends on where you may want to live as well.  If you are someone who does not mind travelling and is willing to relocate virtually anywhere, then hotel/hospitality is the industry for you.  There is always something fun, new and happening in hospitality.  It also depends upon what kind of hotel you may be looking to manage.  There are budget hotels like Microtel, Fairfield Inn, etc. that have a limited number of positions-housekeeping, front desk, manager, etc., but when you get into the full service hotels such as Hilton, Marriott, etc., you will also have a restaurant which provides many more positions.  In order to be a manager of a hotel, you will need to have some experience in these areas.  Another thing to keep in mind is that a hotel operates 24/7.  It never closes...and you have to consider that when planning for holidays, etc.  It's not a 9-5 job...you pretty much have to make yourself available 24/7 in case there is an emergency.  I'm not discouraging you from trying hotel management, I'm simply trying to help you understand some of the realities that I have encountered during my hospitality employment.
