NEVER use your hands as toys with the cat.  Make sure you have LOTS of cat toys because cats get bored easily and if they only have one or 2 toys, they will use you as a toy.  If your cat starts to bite or scratch you, immediately stop playing with it, using your open hand put it in front of the cats nose and sternly say NO, then go into another room and ignore the cat.  He will get the point that biting and scratching will get him no love and attention from you, which is very important to your cat.  Also, when your cat doesn't want you to pet him anymore and starts to scratch or bite, it's just his way of telling you that he's getting annoyed with you.  If he's got a problem with scratching furniture, there is a non-toxic homeopathic spray you can purchase from Pet Smart called No Scratch that I use as a training tool to get my cat to stop clawing my new couch that she has a problem with.  Make sure you have an appropriate scratching post that is tall enough for your cat, this helps tremendously.  Hope this is helpful!

What are some facts about the Orgin Of pi?

The value of π has been known in some form since antiquity. As early as the 20th century BC, Babylonian mathematicians were using π=25/8, which is within 0.5% of the exact value.\n\nIt is sometimes claimed that the Bible states that π=3, based on a passage in 1 Kings 7:23 giving measurements for a round basin. Rabbi Nehemiah explained this by the diameter being from outside to outside while the circumference was the inner brim; but it may suffice that the measurements are given in round numbers. (Also, the basin may not have been exactly circular.)

Can you use a router to setup a PC farm, to spread the workload around on a computer?

Well, why a router? A routers function is to know where to deliver the packets. Is best use to route heavy traffic from locations. Installing a router will let you hit the "PC Farm" but the packets traveling to the destination will still need to go there. Unless processing time is increased on the servers where the 3D data is stored I see no real advantage of going with a router. Using a good switching backbone can help reduce time also.

do you mean creatine? if so yes it is great for muscle building.\nCreatine is a naturally occuring substance in the foods the we eat and even in our bodies. We can synthesize creatine in the liver, pancreas, and kidneys from the amino acids Arginine, Glycine and Methionine. It can also be found in meat type foods such steak, fish, pork, tuna, etc.\n\nHowever, the amount of creatine we get from foods is minimal compared to the amount needed to get the maximum beneficial effect. To get roughly 20 grams of creatine (the general dosage amount for the loading phase), one would have to consume roughly 16-18 steaks. Because of this, it is much more convenient to simply consume creatine as a supplement, otherwise one would have to eat alot of meat products. \nThe energy released from the reduction reaction of ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) to ADP (Adenosine Diphosphate) fuels everything your muscles, as well as almost anything else in your body, do. Creatine is stored in the form of Creatine Phosphate in the body. When ATP looses one of it's phosphates in the reaction to create energy, creatine donates its phosphate to regenerate ATP so that it can break apart again to provide the muscles with energy.\nThe creatine phosphate system is anarobic, meaning that it does not require oxygen to run and is the first system called upon when ATP needs to be regenerated. Therefore, supplementing extra creatine into the diet will allow the muscles to use this system longer.


what is the procedure for increasing the magnetic force?tell me uses of electromagnet&what is magnetic field?

I hope you are familiar with atomic theory if not get familiar and come back to this. as an electron moves it creates a wake much like a boat moving through water this wake is called a magnetic line of force. if a nother electron is encountered by this wake it will be influenced by it like a surfer on a wave. an electromagnetic fiel is the area of influence of these waves. in most materials the electrons are moving in many different directions, hence the sum field is random and weak. however if most of the electrons are coerced into a uniform movement the individual lines become coherent and combine to provide a polarised field with a stronger magnetic influence moving this fiel across an object will cause the electrons in it to surf and produce an electric current. however these surfing electrons will produce a magnetic field that is the opposite of the field they are surfing on.

Why were stupid, senseless laws invented?

Because someone didn't think they were stupid or senseless. And some of the laws we have now actually may not have been stupid when they were passed (for example a law forbidding to have meat, during periods when cows were seriously ill, and there was no other means to warn the people about the dangers of eating that meat). What is stupid is to forget to remove them when they are no longer useful.\n\nThe one you mention (about singing in the bath) seems to have some kind of moral background. It seems stupid to us now. And it probably was stupid by the time it was passed, too. But it responded to the moral standards of that time.

Since B is a countable set, one can also associate it with the even and odd natural numbers.  Without loss of generality, map the possibilities of 0->b and 1->b, where b is in B, to the even and odd numbers, respectively.  The union of the even and odds is just the natural numbers, which is countable.


is it possible to get herpes in your eyes?

Herpes simplex is a very common virus affecting the skin, mucous membranes, nervous system, and the eye.  There are two types of herpes simplex.  Type I causes cold sores or fever blisters and may involve the eye.  Type II is sexually transmitted and rarely causes ocular problems.   \n\nNearly everyone is exposed to the virus during childhood.  Herpes simplex is transmitted through bodily fluids, and children are often infected by the saliva of an adult.  The initial infection is usually mild, causing only a sore throat or mouth.  After exposure, herpes simplex usually lies dormant in the nerve that supplies the eye and skin.  \n\nLater on, the virus may be reactivated by stress, heat, running a fever, sunlight, hormonal changes, trauma, or certain medications.  It is more likely to recur in people who have diseases that suppress their immune system.  In some cases, the recurrence is triggered repeatedly and becomes a chronic problem.  \n\nWhen the eye is involved, herpes simplex typically affects the eyelids, conjunctiva, and cornea.  Keratitis (swelling caused by the infection), a problem affecting the cornea, is often the first ocular sign of the disease.  In some cases, the infection extends to the middle layers of the cornea, increasing the possibility of permanent scarring.  Some patients develop uveitis, an inflammatory condition that affects other eye tissues.\n\nIllustration by Mark Erickson\n \nSigns and Symptoms\n\nPain \n\nRed eye \n\nTearing \n\nLight sensitivity \n\nIrritation, scratchiness \n\nDecreased vision (dependent on the location and extent of the infection) \n\n \nDetection and Diagnosis\n\nHerpes simplex is diagnosed with a slit lamp examination.  Tinted eye drops that highlight the affected areas of the cornea may be instilled to help the doctor evaluate the extent of the infection.  \n\n \nTreatment\n\nTreatment of herpes simplex keratitis depends on the severity.  An initial outbreak is typically treated with topical and sometimes oral anti-viral medication.  The doctor may gently scrape the affected area of the cornea to remove the diseased cells.  Patients who experience permanent corneal scarring as a result of severe and recurrent infections may require a corneal transplant to restore their vision

I've never been in the military so I can't speak from experience. I do know two people who tried to enlist and were both rejected. One had flat feet,the other admitted to smoking pot. If people can be rejected for those reasons,I'm\npretty sure being HIV positive rules you out as well.\nSorry,but I don't think even the Canadian Army will accept\nsomeone who's HIV positive. As for blood tests,I have heard\nthey are a regular thing so you won't be able to slip in the back door.\n\n I know things must look pretty bleak to you but try not to\ngive up. Being HIV positive doesn't mean you're going to die\ntomorrow,you may have years ahead of you. As well,there are\npeople out there making progress on developing a cure. Hang\nin there.

The Japanese use 'kanji' or Chinese characters extensively, including many of the same symbols in their names, just with a Japanese pronunciation.


Have 6yr old son with cp in bodycast.  I am unable to work and need assistance with the morgage payment?

Call or write to your lender as soon as possible. Clearly explain the situation and be prepared to provide him or her with financial information. \n\nFor FHA Loans: Contact a HUD-approved housing counseling agency (1-800-569-4287 or TDD: 1-800-877-8339).  \n\nIf you are having difficulty with an uncooperative lender, call the FHA Loss Mitigation Center at 1-888-297-8685 for additional help.\n\nFor conventional loans:  Talk to your lender about specific loss mitigation options. Work directly with him or her to request a "workout packet." It may be that your loan was purchased by a secondary lender such as Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae.  Fannie & Freddie require that mortgage servicers to explore workout options with you.  \n\nIt's important to remember a few helpful hints: \n\nExplore every reasonable alternative to avoid losing your home, but beware of scams. For example, watch out for: \n\nEquity skimming: a buyer offers to repay the mortgage or sell the property if you sign over the deed and move out.\n\nPhony counseling agencies: offer counseling for a fee when it is often given at no charge. \n\nDon't sign anything you don't understand.\n\nBest wishes to you and your son.

The kuiper belt is composed of bodies known as Kuiperoids, asteroids, or trans-Neptunian objects, which all vary greatly in size.  Generally, they are supposed to be smaller than Pluto, the smallest planet, but some have now been found that are larger.  These are now disputed as planets in their own right, for if they are not, who is to say that Pluto is in fact a planet?  The Kuiper Belt in fact reaches out past the orbit of Nepture, not Jupiter (sorry Hound9_4).

This is important if you put the PCL6 driver in one computer and try to print it to a PCL5e it will display an error message sayng you're not using the riht protocol.

Do you like the Poem? if you dont its ok?

Dude, I spent many nights pondering the outcome of suicide! I grew up very poor, and often thought it couldn't be any worse. Fat kid, Stupid kid, whatever all the other kids said was mean and thoughtless. Later I found that none of those stupid things meant squat. In my life I have touched other lives, even saved a few. That made all that suffering worth the pain. \n\nIt gets better. I finally found out I had some depression issues. Got some great little happy pills fron the Doc that make life easier. But it comes down to this, Pain and depression and suffering are all part of growing up and they turn into strength and experience. That strength grows each time you suffer. \n\nYou can use that later in life to help other people.\n\nMaybe you should talk to someone about treatment for depression. It's diferent for everyone. Suicide is not the answer.

Do you support the Ports deal that Bush forces on the People of the U.S.?   Why?

Wake up. His Bushyness does not care in the least what the American people think or say. According to Neocons who support  his Bushyness, he's smarter than anyone in Congress. After all he went to Yale, he must be smart, right. What i want to know is how much is Bu$h Sr. involved in this $6.8 billion deal. \nIf Money is involved the Neocons will find a way to steal it from the tax payers. We still don't know what Paul Bremmer did with the $6 billion that went missing in Iraq.\nThe truth will always find them out.


anyone know the difference in pay roll for the blue jays from last year to this year? OR how i can find out?

On opening day 2005, the Blue Jays salary was between $45-46M. By the end of the season, that had gone up to between $49-50M. This is normal, and occurs when players are brought up from the minors and given major league salaries.\n\nAt present, the salaries of the 18 players the Blue Jays have under contract for 2006 total just under $71M, this means that the payroll will be at least $73M on opening day, assuming the other 7 players are youngsters making at or near the league minimum of $327,000

What are some good credit cards for credit repair that AREN'T scams?

First all, if you're trying to repair your credit, the APR shouldn't matter because if you're really committed you will pay off all bills in full every month!\n\nTry the credit cards offered by your bank first. Banks have a soft-spot for their customers and that can be a positive factor in their credit approval.\n\nNext, look at cards offered by Chase, CapitalOne or Citibank.  These are reputable company.\n\nOrchard Bank should never be a choice if you're building credit. In my opinion, their lending practices border on predatory. Fees are outrageous, and they are not very good at disclosing hidden ones.\n\nIf your credit is as bad as your say, be prepared.  \n    You may be denied.   \n    You may be offered a secured credit card.\n    You may be offered a credit card with a higher rate.  \n\nIf you're denied for credit, don't keep trying. Wait for at least 6 months before you try again. When you apply for a credit card, the lender will get your credit report. The more you apply for credit, the lower your score can get and less like you are to be approved for credit.\n\nVicious cycle, right?\n\nIf the credit card has a high APR, consider accepting the card.  The high APR will only affect you if you carry a balance at the end of each statement cycle.  BUT pay off everything when the bill comes. \n\nIf you do this, you won't see your credit improve right away.  It may takes anywhere from 1-7 years to repair your credit.\n\nIf you were offered a secured credit card, think twice. Lenders don't just look at your credit score or whether you have a good repayment history. They also look at the type of credit lines you have.

plz dint laugh at me! ladies only get to answer this question...i have a problem(read below)?

Discharge is normal...it's healthier when it's clear.  It can be a sign of sexual desire...this is why there is panty liners in the store...you use these when you're not menistrating and have that clear discharge stuff.  Sometimes this discharge is a reflection of your diet...are you getting enough water and fruits/veg's?\n\nWhen it starts to smell or is chuncky you may have a yeast infection...caused by sperm or by antibotics or by tight panty hose or by wet swimsuits.  Get medication from the supermarket...and eat yogert and drink cranberry juice; these help move that infection out.

i want to lose 40lbs how can i do it with so little time?

First of all, you are not eating enough.  I know it sounds controversial to eat when you are trying to lose weight, but when you only eat once a day your metabolism slows down and your body goes into "self-starvation" mode.  It basically tells itself to store whatever food you DO eat as fat--it is a defense mechanism in case you really are starving.  You should be eating several small meals (approx. 300-400 calories each) about every 3-4 hours.  This will keep you from binging when you finally sit down and eat something.  (Notice I said "sit down"...take the time to enjoy your meals)  Eat a mixture of complex carbohydrates (WHOLE GRAIN bread, cereal or pasta), protein (lean meat, eggs, or dairy), and a little healthy fat (a handful of almonds, some olive oil or Peanut butter) to keep you satisfied and fuller longer. I healthy diet isn't rocket science.  Fill yourself up on fruits, vegetables, and grains so that you dont feel the need to binge and eat fatty cakes, and cookies etc...\n\nAs a mother I am sure you are active with your kids--keep being active!!  All activity burns calories, whether you are on a treadmill or running around with the kids.


Is there any way to remove a program from the add/remove programs list in windows, but NOT actually remove it?

In other words you don't want the program listed in the Add/Remove programs list.  I don't know what purpose that would serve but okay why not.  Google has a number of results regarding this, http://www.google.com/search?client=opera&rls=en&q=remove+program+from+add/remove+list&sourceid=opera&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8 for programs that were uninstalled but Windows did not remove the program from the Add/Remove list.  Speaking of that, I don't know if those tweaks would allow the program to continue functioning or not.  Also, what would be the point of doing this?  It offers no benefit and does not make Windows run any faster and what would you do if you wanted to get rid of the program?  And now I understand (I just saw the details)... okay, let me think.\n\nWindows does not offer this feature (and personally I think your dad is a little nuts but that's neither here nor there) but anyway a program called X-Setup Pro will allow you to hide entries in the Add/Remove programs list without uninstalling the program, more here, http://www.x-setup.net/ and I have more bad news, it's not freeware.

if a judge states that he knows a man was railroaded in his court, does he have an ethical duty to help?

Absolutely! If the judge is aware of these facts, not only is he morally and ethically obliged to help. In fact, there may even be some criminal charges that can be pressed with enough proof. It is a despicable act on the Judge's and I would appeal to a higher court and sue the robe off that crooked Judge. Get an attorney and go with it. Go to the media if you have to.

It can't just send the page to every computer in the world and hope it gets to you, it needs your ip address so that the page goes right to you.

"Ya" is a time word that refers to the specific time you're talking about.  It doesn't translate very well into English, but an equivalent would be "already", "now", or "then", depending on the context.\n\n"Que" is a word that is often used to introduce subordinate clauses, especially relative clauses.\n\nYou are right that "lo" is a direct object pronoun.  Remember that there might not be a direct object pronoun and another version of the direct object in the same sentence.  "Lo" can also be used in some constructions that aren't referring to previously mentioned nouns.  For example, I'm familiar with a song that says "menealo para aquí", which can be translated as "wiggle this way".  The "lo" could be said to function similarly to "it" in an English sentence like "Move it!".\n\nIt seems that you're very concerned about translating these songs you're listening to word for word.  Remember that English and Spanish are different languages with different grammars and they can't always translate easily.  However, listening to songs is a very good way to learn how these words work.  You'll figure it out over time.

You won't regret it! Costs about 4 or 5 dollars per month.

He will fight anybody, anywhere, anytime.

What are my rights as a witness for refusal to testify?

You may be able to file a motion to quash the subpoena.  It depends on the laws in your state.  My guess, however, is that trying to fight the subpoena will be as timely and more expensive than just testifying.\n\nYou might also contact the attorney that issued the subpoena to see if there's anyway to get your weak testimony submitted without you having to actually appear in Court.\n\nBut if you do not show, a bench warrant might be issued and you could, potentially, be arrested for your failure to appear. Again, rules vary by state, so I wouldn't chance it.

when you are memorizing a animal cell structure, how can you do it without the names being on the paper?

A bit of rote learning is needed here.\n\nFirstly, learn all the spellings; copy all the names onto a piece of paper, cover the names and from memory write the list again on another piece of paper, check it, throw it away & do the list again. Keep on doing this until you have memorised the list and the spellings.\n\nSecondly, make a simple drawing of an animal cell with label lines but no labels. Make separate labels. First attempt - put your labels onto the diagram & check. Repeat until you have mastered it.\n\nEasy. Works for all diagrams. You can keep the 'learning kit' for revision.

Does Medicare prefer non-profit health care providers over for-profit ones?

I don't think it's a question of whether or not Medicare\nprefers them.  Instead, is the health care provider a "Medicare provider". Do they "Accept" Medicare. If they do, it means they file the claim to Medicare and they accept\npayment from Medicare. You are only responsible for the Deductible and 20% of the Medicare "allowable".  If the health care provider is NOT a Medicare provider, and does NOT "Accept" Medicare, then they will still file a claim to Medicare. HOWEVER, you are responsible for whatever Medicare does NOT pay. You end up having  to pay a lot more\nyourself. I would always ask a provider whether or not they are Medicare providers and whether or not they accept the Medicare payment. If they do....  great

What stat should i be looking at when trying to buy a computer. I work with large files?

Amount of memory (RAM) would be important in your case, 1 GB should be sufficient all though anything more would be noticeable. A high CPU speed would also be helpful as would a large hard drive.

Is tere really global warming if it's so darn cold?

Yes.  It'll still get cold in winter.  We're talking about a change so far of 1-2 degrees.  It will still get cold for a long time to come, it's just that it will be a little less cold a little less often.  You're not going to notice it effecting day to day weather.  What's of more immediate concern is the rising sea level resulting from the melting of the polar ice caps.  This process will result in the gradual submersion of costal regions, and changes in ocean currents that will result in increased severe tropical storms.  This is what you're going to see first.  There's a long way to go (as in probably not in our lifetimes) before you'll start to see noticably higher day-to-day temperatures.\n\nAnd for anyone who says global warming isn't happening, I'd like to see an actual source supporting that claim (as in a web link or a scientific journal citation).  In all the studies I have seen indicating that global warming is not occuring have had serious methodological flaws, but it is impossible to argue with a mere assertion of knowledge.


FInancial Accounting - Journalizing transactions?

Does sunscreen get less effective after time. I never see expiration dates on the bottles.?

"If you don't see a date, the rule of thumb is that the active ingredients in sunscreen (like zinc, titanium dioxide and Parsol 1789) should remain stable and effective for about three years, according to David Leffell, M.D., professor of dermatology at Yale School of Medicine. But if it smells funny, feels lumpy or has a bizarro color, dump it. To keep your sunscreen as close to new as possible, store it in a dry spot at room temperature with the lid tightly fastened."

Should Social Security be taken out of the Federal budget?

Can liberals think for themselves or they just spit out the talking points the DNC gives them?\n\nSS needs to be reformed.  Any program that takes 15% of your money at gunpoint and gives you a rate of return of about 2% is just wrong.  What if you die at 58?  Your heirs get $255.  \n\nW's reform plan is a good one.  Keep most of the revenue going in to the program to pay for the retirees AND allow younger workers to start their own accounts.  Every 5-10 years increase the percentage we can put into our own accounts.  In a generation we will all have our own accounts and not have to worry about the government borrowing from SS.  Then if we die at 58 our savings go to our heirs as it should.\n\nThe only reason liberals want to keep SS is because EVERY election they threaten old people that Republicans will take away their SS if you elect them.  They have been saying that for at least 25 years (thats as long as I have been paying attention) and it hasn't happened yet.

Why does salt dissolve faster than sugar?

Salt occurs as (Na+Cl-) \nThe water molecules come between the atoms of salt , and thus breaks the ionic bonding b/w Na+ and Cl-.Na+ is attracted to the lone pair of oxygen atom of the water molecule and Cl-to the H atom of water molecule , thus hydrolysis and solvation of salt occurs, which makes the salt to dissolve fast whereas in sugars, the molecules are quite big and moreover sugar has a planar geometry , and contains bonds like -C-H, -C-OH-, -C-O-C-, these breaking of these bonds require more energy and moreover -C- is non-polar, thus increasing the no. of C atoms will make a compound to dissolve less in water. Sugar has 6 Carbon atoms.\nThus to dissolve sugar , we need stirring.


What is the ratio of 1tsp of water to 2 gallons steam, how would I figure this out?

You <can> measure steam. It is merely water in a gaseous state; gases occupy volume just like liquids.\n\nI'm not totally sure what you're asking though. Do you mean that during the boiling process, 1tsp (0.005L) of liquid water generates 2 gallons (7.5708L) of water vapour? \n\nThat's a pretty massive expansion, but if it is the case, the ratio of liquid:steam would be\n0.005:7.5708\nor\n0.001:1.51416\nor \n1:1514.16


I understand that it does. The diet sodas are not satisfying a craving for sweets, so many who drink diet sodas tend to snack on a lot of other things. They tend to think that with all the calories they're saving with the soda, they will not be as affected by the "alternate" sweets.\n\nBottom line, diet sodas are just a lot of chemicals in water.\n\nUPDATE, 2/5/06: According to an 8-year review of diet and health parameters of nearly 1,200 people, a whopping 57 percent of those who drank two or more cans of diet soda every day became overweight.\n\nBut among those who drank the same amount of full-calorie soda, only 47 percent became overweight.\n\nThe figures were collected by Dr. Sharon Fowler and her colleagues at the University of Texas Health and Science Center in San Antonio.\n\nThe experts are unsure what explains this surprising result. They speculate that diet soda drinkers may feel they are saving calories on soda and therefore allow themselves to eat other more high-calorie foods. \n\nOr there could be something in diet soda that increases hunger.

I don't have any religious belief. I wonder what makes most US people believe in Christianity.?

About the time that the lands of the Western Hemisphere were discovered there were two very significant movements influencing European culture - the Reformation and the Renaissance. \n\nThe Reformation movement was largely sparked by the sudden availability of Bibles which were only available to a select few before that. The impact was significant because there were many abuses in the church that were uncovered because corrupt clergy were making money by saying Scripture said things it did not. When people realized this, there was a mass scale determination for people to study the Bible for themselves. Knowing how to read suddenly became important even to peasants. Sola Scriptura (Scripture only) became the cry of people from many different European countries. Out of the Reformation came Protestantism. These churches were 'protesting' the abuses they saw in the official church. By the time America was being settled, there was much conflict between the official church and the Protestant churches. Many followers from the Protestant churches were being severly persecuted and found it easier to tame a wilderness country across the ocean than to get the official church to change.\n\nThere was a parallel shift away from the official church in the Renaissance movement. The Renaissance is often considered the rebirth of science and art after the fall of the Roman Empire. In this movement there was a burst of interest in Greek and Roman thought. Libraries of Greek and Roman literature and science which had been saved through the centuries by monestaries were dusted off and brought back into public life and acedamia. This drift from the church however lead to secularism.\n\nThe early founders of American communities largely came out of Reformation thinking. That is not to say that as the years have gone by there has not been a heavy influence of Renaissance thinking blended in. But the percentage of one to the other has more Reformation roots in the US than in Europe.\n\nYou will find in the writings of American and European historical figures that they also saw this difference. During the Revolutionary War era, Washington, Jefferson, Franklin, and others noted the cultural differences and stated that Christianity was more vigorously held to in the colonies/US than in Europe. Europeans of that era such as the Frenchman Tocqueville actually made a study of it. He was wondering why the American Revolution and form of government turned out so well, while the French Revolution and governemnt devolved into anarchy and despotism. His final analysis was that it was America's deep seated love of Christinaity that made the difference. It is very interesting reading and can be read free at the online library at Project Gutenberg.\n\nSo why is America considered the most Christian nation yet reamaining in the world. It goes back to her roots. That doesn't mean that the Founding Fathers wouldn't be absolutely appalled by what we call Christianity today.

how do you program an instruction set architecture in c++?

It almost sounds as if your project is going to eventually become a "virtual machine", or better yet a simulated computer.\n\nThe first step is to determine your instruction set.  The computer will probably have the ability to perform simple arithmetic, such as add, subtract, multiply, divide, shift, jump to memory locations, etc.  Each of these operations will use a unique sequence of 'bits' to identify the specific operation.  For example, you can say that your machine only supports only sixteen instructions.  Because it is sixteen, we can identify each instructions with four bits:\n\nMOV   0000 - move data\nADD   0001 - add data\nSUB   0010 - subtract data\nMPY   0011 - multiply data\nDIV   0100 - divide data\nAND   0101 - bitwise 'and'\nOR    0110 - bitwise 'or'\nXOR   0111 - bitwise 'exclusive or'\nNOT   1000 - invert bits\nJMP   1001 - unconditional jump\nCMP   1010 - compare values\nJEQ   1011 - jump if equal\nJL    1100 - jump if less than\nJG    1101 - jump if greater than\nJLE   1110 - jump if less or equal\nJGE   1111 - jump if greater or equal\n\nOnce you determine the instructions the computer will support, you need to determine your addressing modes.  For example, an "add" instruction can work with two registers, two memory addresses, a memory address and a register, or indirect combinations of both.  For each addressing mode, we will assign a sequence of bits.  I'm going to choose only four addressing modes, "immediate" (where the data in the instruction is taken as a literal value), "memory" (where the data in the instruction is a memory address), "register" (where the data in the instruction is a register number) and "indirect" (where the value in a register is a memory address to where the data points).  I will use two bits to identify the source addressing mode, an another two bits to identify the destination addressing mode.  If the instruction only uses one destination, the second two bits would be used.  This is now a total of four bits which we combine with the first four bits of the opcode.  Below are the bits we will use for the modes:\n\nImmediate - 00\nRegister - 01\nMemory - 10\nIndirect Register - 11\n\nNow, we have defined a fairly competent instruction set that identifies the operations and addressing modes with only one byte of data!\n\nJust to show "mnemonics" of the assembly language of our computer, with addressing modes, consider the following:\n\nADD 10, R2 - Add number 10 to register 2 (immediate/register)\n\nADD R1, R2  - Add register 1 to register 2 (register/register)\n\nADD @MEM1, R2 - Add value in memory at MEM1 to register 2 (memory/register)\n\nADD *R1, R2 - Add value pointed to by address in register 1 to register 2 (indirect/register)\n\nNow, they would equate, in bits to the following:\nADD 10, R2      0001 00 01  (11 in hexadecimal)\nADD R1, R2      0001 01 01  (15 in hexadecimal)\nADD @MEM1, R2   0001 10 01  (19 in hexadecimal)\nADD *R1, R2     0001 11 01  (1D in hexadecimal)\n\nNote that each instruction and addressing mode is one byte, but only part of the complete instruction.  You can use the bitwise and (&) operator in C++ in order to mask off the opcode and addressing modes from that single byte (unsigned char).  So:\n\nopcode = byte & 0xF0;       (1111 0000)\nsourcemode = byte & 0xC0;   (0000 1100)\ndestmode = byte & 0x03;     (0000 0011)\n\nOnce we've determine the addressing mode for each one, the next sequence of bytes after the opcode and mode would be either the immediate value, a register value or a memory address.  The remainder of each instruction can be either a fixed or variable number of bytes, that is your choice.\n\nFrom there, you just process a stream of bytes and you can get the extract the operation, addressing mode, data for source and destination (or just destination if its a single operand).  Next, your "virtual machine" needs to sim

is there a generally accepted industrial engineering practices?

There are 'codes' that have been developed over the years by groups of experts.  These 'codes' legally represent the 'state of the art' of current engineering practice.  An example is the ASME Pressure Vessel Code (for boilers, oil refineries, etc).  An Industrial Engineer may be certified by the state (a 'Professional Engineer') to practice engineering and follow the code.  If he does so, he is 'legally protected' in the sense that his design complied with the best knowledge available (the state of the art).  There are too many codes and guidelines to list here; you'd need a specific field.  To answer your question however, no, there are not generally accepted industrial engineering practices, the field is controlled by specifications and requirements specific to each job (it may be in the form of a purchase order requirement, drawing requirement, sales order requirement, etc.) but there are no 'gentleman's agreements' in business - it is controlled by a specific contract.

(preferences are in this order)\n\n* If you are a vegetarian, then ignore this!\n* Avoid fat meat\n\n\n• Eat 2-3 slices of bread/day. Don't EVER exclude bread from your diet!\n\n• Snacks between meals (if needed): apples, oranges, grepfruits and other NC fruits\n\n* Don't cheat ... NO cookies, chips, candies, brownies etc! \n* EVEN if they have "low fat" indication... They might have low fat, yet they can have lots of CALORIES !!!\n\n\n• About rice, potatoes, beans, [xxx]nuts, pastry, pasta... you know!\n\n* Don't eat too much of those, at least during the first weeks of the diet. I'm not a low carb addict, but I've noticed weight gains if consuming those in large quantities, especially when associated with other foods.\n* If you like them a lot, try and eat them like one meal. A nice delicious plate of spaghetti could be your lunch (never dinner!), followed by a nice big apple. These rich starch foods are not good for dinner!\n* At dinner time, chose mainly large mixed veggies salads... with fish, lean meat or cheese (if you are not a vegetarian). \n\nif u want to lose weight the best food to it are baked potatoes with nothing on it. no salt no nothing just plain. u can eat a 10000000000 baked potatoes till ur stuff and not gain a pound. i heard that from a weight loss tape. the best drink is water or gatorade. thats a start then when you work out do some taeboo. if u want a macine. run with dumbells on a treadmill. u could do the rocky workout. but thats a new story. u could use a butterfly macine i think it works the abs\n\n1) It is not just the amount you eat, but what you eat. Lean meats and vegtables that snap are a good place to start. And by snap I mean fresh and not boiled or doused with better or whatever.\n\n2) Exercise moderatly but for about an hour every other day. Spend half of that walking or running at a good enough pace for you to feel labored. The other half of the time use weights, or exercises such as push ups or situps to get a muscle "burn". A gym is also an option, but I don't know if you have the money for or want to spend the money on it.\n\n3) Sleep well. To bed earlier and up earlier. Exercise in the morning when you wake up, not in the evening before bed. 7 hours of GOOD sleep is a must.\n\n4) Occupy yourself with a hobby that keeps your attention for a long period of time. A hobby like this keeps your mind focused and gives less of a chance for snacking from boredom.\n\nThat is a good place to start... if you see good results, keep it up and modify to fit you... if it does not, see a doctor AND a trainer \n\nKeep working out, drink water a lot, eat 5 to 6 meals a day but in small quantities, vegtables are important specially cucumber and lattice, fruits not be eaten after meals except by 2 to 3 hours, minimize the starch quantities in your meals lots of salad is important, your last meal must be before you sleep by 2 to 3 hours\nthe most important thing is you don't lose patient wait and have a strong will to be as what you want\n\nyou might have some more ideas from www.ivillage.com\n\ngood luck

I would recommend you first hire a pentent lawyer and patent the product or idea.  I think that your lack of a college degree is an advantage.  I don't have one either and am very glad I don't.

Even though seeds aren't the earliest to hit the scene in plant evolution, as Djddan has stated, they have played a HUGE role in evolution...\nThe main thing is that seeds have given their parent plant an opportunity to travel! In general, plants are stationary organisms. Without means for locomotion (like most animals have), they must rely on their seeds to move for them. The reason is that it increases the area their genetic material can travel.\nIf seeds didn't travel, you would have huge pockets of areas that would have many genetically similar plants.\n\nSeeds ensure travel many different ways. Some have wings on them so that the wind can carry them away from their parent tree. Some are embedded in tasty fruit thhat get carried off by hungary animals. Some stuck to animals walking by, some are dropped into water and carried off by flowing rivers...The list goes on.\n\nSeeds have impacted evolution in huge ways. Hope this helps.

Get real lazy, demand to get paid more than your worth, complain if you are threatned to get fired, have the attitude that you are entitled to have the job.  You'll make the perfect gov't employee if you can do all that.
