Did Forrest Gump invent the smiley face?

The smiley face craze, if not necessarily the smiley face itself, was the work of two brothers in Philadelphia, Bernard and Murray Spain, who were in the business of making would-be fad items. In September of 1970 (Bernard says 1969, but I suspect he's misremembering), they heard destiny calling. Casting about for some peace symbol-like item with more general appeal, they recalled the smiley faces that had been floating around for years in the advertising business. By George, they cried, or would have cried if I'd been around to write the dialogue, we're in the midst of a ghastly war, we're surrounded by protests and hate, what the country needs is a nickel-sized depiction of a guy who's just had a prefrontal lobotomy. Whoa, just kidding! Actually, what they wanted was for all mankind to be happy and live in harmony ... OK, I confess, that wasn't it either. Bernie, with admirable frankness, says they did it to make a buck.


Many studies have been done linking aspertame (an excitotoxin - so names because it excites cells to death) to cancer, nerve damage, headaches and many other health problems.MSG and Hydrolyzed products are excitotoxins as well. It is a controversial subject since the billion dollar industries that market these products have so much riding on them being deemed safe. The FDA says they are fine but I suggest you take your health into your own hands and do some research of your own before deciding. Money can buy anything, even at the cost of public health.\n\n\nhttp://www.dorway.com/blayenn.html...\nhttp://www.msgmyth.com/\nhttp://members.aol.com/budzowski/budzows...\n\n\nA list of problems attributed to excitotoxins: (diet coke/msg etc...)\n1. Severe headache 12. Shortness of breath, chest pains, asthma 23. Slowed speech \n2. Nausea, diarrhea, vomiting 13. Swelling, pain, or numbness of hands, feet, jaw 24. Chronic bronchitis-like symptoms, allergy reactions, dry cough, hoarseness or sore throat \n3. Irregular heart beat or blood pressure, racing heart 14. Pain in joints or bones 25. Heavy, weak feeling in arms and legs \n4. Depression or mood change, bipolar, SAD 15. Flushing or tingling in face, chest, pressure behind eyes 26. Irritable bowel or colitis \n5. Abdominal pain, cramps, bloating, colitis, IBS 16. Gagging reflex or difficulty swallowing 27. Attention deficit disorder, anxiety attacks, rage, panic attacks \n6. Balance problems, dizziness, or seizures, mini-strokes 17. Hyperactivity, behavioral problems 28. Neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's, fibromyalgia, MS, Parkinson's \n7.

Does gravity have any (even a little) effect on gas molecules? If so, why do gas go up?

Yes gravity has effect on gas molecules.\n\nNewton's Law of Gravitation governs the attraction between earth and the gas molecules. It is similar to solid or liquid molecules. However the density (mass per unit volume) incase of gases is very low so the attractive force is not easily felt.\n\nGoing up or down of gas molecules is governed by two other factors.\n1. The kinetic energy of gas molecules is so high that the gas molecules easily move in all directions, but to a certain limit thus the gas molecules also move up.\n\n2. When there are mixtures of different substances the heavy molecules are more affected by the gravity and so they remain close to the earth and the light molecules settle above. This applies to all states of matter e.g. wood flots on water.

Where can I go to get help with writing a college paper?

www.wordtechs.com\n\nThey won't write a college paper for you, but they have student rates and will do the research and pull what you've written into a readable, passing form. I had them look over some of my college work, and it was way cheap, and all of my papers were definitely improved for having them look over it.\n\nGood luck!


What is the largest city in the US from which you can travel due south and reach Canada?

The Continental US lies north of Canada in only a couple spots, notably near Niagara Falls (Buffalo) and in Michigan and I think up in Washington state. Clearly, the answer is Detroit and this has been referenced several times on ESPN radio as sportscasters talk about how unbelievably close it is from the shore of Detroit over to Canada.

I have a question about the Chicago Cubs?

ABSOLUTELY. I don't know if I could necessarily afford a ticket, but I would explore every avenue. I love the Cubs and to be part of that victory would be one of the greatest experiences of my life. A Cubs World Series AT Wrigley Field is something generations of fans only dreamed of, and hell, if it's ever a reality in my lifetime (which it will be), I want to do everything in my power to be there and pour my heart into it.\n\nOf course, if that ain't happening there's always the TV. (But then I'll have to put up with Joe Buck and I'd rather have my intestines pulled out through my nose than listen to him 99% of the time.)


how and why did the irish come to live in the united states?

A good lot of them came during the Ellis island era to escape economic hardship and famine (see Irish potato blight). The United States seemed to be the best place to escape the lack of oppertunity they were given. We were lauded as a land with streets paved with gold and millions of oppertunities (unfortunately they faced discrimination and economic woes here as well, but at least they were eating) America had asked the world to "give me your poor your sick your huddled masses yerning to breathe free" and they took us up on that offer-- keep it up land of the free


what are the pathophysiology of rheumatic heart fever?

Rheumatic fever is an autoimmune disease which occurs after an untreated Group A streptococcal infection, typically a throat infection. The antibodies formed against the bacteria attack parts of the body, typically the joints and the heart.\n\nGroup A Streptococcus pyogenes has a cell wall that is composed of branched polymers which sometimes contain "M proteins" which are highly antigenic. The antibodies formed against these proteins sometimes cross-react with normal tissue causing damage. Depending on the site of damage, this can lead to the clinical symptoms described in the attached article.


what does the spleen do? Is it necessary,vital?

is a ductless, vertebrate gland that is not necessary for life but is closely associated with the circulatory system, where it functions in the destruction of old red blood cells and removal of other debris from the bloodstream, and also in holding a reservoir of blood. It is regarded as one of the centres of activity of the reticuloendothelial system. Until recently, the purpose of the spleen was not known. It is increasingly recognised that its absence predisposes to certain infections.\n\nThe absence of a spleen predisposes to some septicaemia infections. Vaccination and antibiotic measures are discussed under asplenia.\n\nSome people congenitally completely lack a spleen, although this is rare. \nSickle-cell disease can cause a functional asplenia (or autosplenectomy) by causing infarctions of the spleen during repeated sickle-cell crises. \nIt may be removed surgically (known as a splenectomy), and indeed often is. For example, it may be removed following abdominal injuries with rupture and hemorrhage of the spleen, or in the treatment of certain blood diseases (Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, familial jaundice, hereditary spherocytosis, etc.), certain forms of lymphoma or for the removal of splenic tumours or cysts.


I sell Mary Kay & don"t remember what I a required to report on my income taxes. Can anyone help?

The difference between the cost of the merchandise and the amount of money you sold it for, minus legitimate business expenses, is taxable income and must be reported.  In additon you are actually supposed to make quarterly payments when you are self employed, although depending on how much you make the IRS may not make an issue of it.\n\nIf you can afford it it would be a good idea to have an accountant work it out for you.  The up side is, if you find out that, after expenses, you actually lost money, that's a deduction from your regular income.  But they won't let you keep showing losses forever... the usual limit is three years.

possible that the fuel pump is going. It may be getting hot and shutting down.\nthe ECM (computer that someone else refered to) is not the cause.\nIf your trans was going, you would know. The engine will rev. up when you hit the gas. If this is the case, then sorry, you need to see a trans shop. If it is your fuel pump, cost and ease of repair would depend on the vehicle you have.

Getting into medical school is often based on these three areas:  GPA, MCAT scores and life experience/experience with medicine.

How do you avoid the dreaded "lets just be friends" line?

The short answer is yes. You are supplicating. A Woman NEEDS a man who leads her into unknown teritories. You must make her want you. Be the prize. Never take a girl out to dinner until after you've slept with her. I will tell you a little secret buddy... No matter what you do.. YOU MEAN NOTHING TO HER UNLESS SHE HAS HAD SEX WITH YOU. And taking a women out to dinner WILL NOT LEAD TO SEX 95% of the time.  Be an aventurer, her mystery, her hero and her juices will flow. If you lead she will follow

how easy is it to get a small business grant?

It depends who you are. If you are a nonprofit working in a depressed rural area, you stand a greater chance in getting a grant. If you are an organization whose main goal is to provide technical training to women, then you stand a big chance of getting a grant. But if you are a housewife just thinking of getting a grant to start a hair salon business, you will find it very hard to find one. Most grants are available to non-profits, special interest groups, and individuals who belong to these groups. \n\nIf you go to Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA.gov), which is the database of available grants, you will hardly find anything where an individual seeking to start a business will qualify. Let's take a look at some examples and who actually qualifies for these grants:\n\n59.037 Small Business Development Center http://12.46.245.173/pls/portal30/CATALOG.PROGRAM_TEXT_RPT.SHOW?p_arg_names=prog_nbr&p_arg_values=59.037 \nThis grant is available only to those groups who will form a small business development center, or those centers that will train, counsel and provide technical assistance to entrepreneurs\n\n59.043 Women's Business Ownership Assistance http://12.46.245.173/pls/portal30/CATALOG.PROGRAM_TEXT_RPT.SHOW?p_arg_names=prog_nbr&p_arg_values=59.043\nTo establish women's business centers (WBCs) for the benefit of small business concerns owned and controlled by women. This grant is open only to private and non profit organizations who want to train women entrepreneurs.\n\n20.905 Disadvantaged Business Enterprises_Short Term Lending Program http://12.46.245.173/pls/portal30/CATALOG.TOPTEN_PROG_RPT.show\nThis grant is available only to certified Disadvantaged Business Enterprise, minority-owned business enterprise or women-owned business enterprise. But this line of credit is available only to transportation related contracts (e.g. maintenance, rehabilitation, restructuring, improvement, or revitalization of any of modes of transportation). \n\nFrom the examples above, you will find that it is NOT easy to qualify for a federal grant. You stand a greater chance of getting smaller grants from the WBCs and SBDCs that the above two grants helped fund and support. Instead of going straight to the federal government, go to intermediary organizations whose main goals are to help support entrepreneurs.\n\nMost of the books or even lists being sold on the Internet merely lists everything that CFDA has. If you pore through the lists, you will find it hard to find a grant for would-be business owners where you as an individual can qualify.\n\nHope the above helps\nIsabel Isidro\nFor information on starting a business, visit http://www.powerhomebiz.com

what is the relationship beteen HTTP and HTML?

There isn't much of one at all.  HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) is just a way of sending data from one location to another and while it was originally deemed to be for transferring text-based data, it has been mutated/corrupted/re-visioned into being a much more general purpose data-transmission method.  HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is just a bunch of almost well-defined notations that can be added to a flat text document such that an HTML interpreter (like your web browser) can display that document in more-or-less the way that the document's author had envisioned it.  Links in an HTML document typically specify that they request other documents with the HTTP protocol, but other protocols like FTP (File Transfer Protocol) or Gopher (anybody remember the olden days?) are available so long as the program (or rather, programs -- both your web browser and the target content server) actually knows the protocol.


what is the fast way to learn about foreclosures?

Foreclosure is the legal proceeding in which a bank or other secured creditor sells or repossesses a parcel of real property (immovable property) due to the owner's failure to comply with an agreement between the lender and borrower called a "mortgage" or "deed of trust". Commonly, the violation of the mortgage is a default in payment of a promissory note, secured by a lien on the property. When the process is complete, it is typically said that "the lender has foreclosed its mortgage or lien."

Because love is expensive. Especially when you pick it up on a corner.


The Gregorian calendar, the current standard calendar in most of the world, adds a 29th day to February in all years evenly divisible by 4, except for century years (those ending in -00), which receive the extra day only if they are evenly divisible by 400. Thus 1996 was a leap year whereas 1999 was not, and 1600, 2000 and 2400 are leap years but 1700, 1800, 1900 and 2100 are not.

In what ways do current economic conditions affect demand for Fed Ex services?

The key factors that affect FedEx services are as follows: \n\n1. the overall customer demand for various services \n2. the volumes of transportation and business services provided through our networks, primarily measured by average daily volume and shipment weight;\n3. the mix of services purchased by customers;\n4. the prices FedEx obtain for their services, primarily measured by average price per shipment (yield); and \n5. our ability to manage our cost structure for capital expenditures and operating expenses such as salaries and benefits, fuel and maintenance and to match such expenses to shifting volume levels

Try taking notes about how you want it to go. Next, try working on the characters you are going to use, writing up what you know about them and what kind of people they are.  Then write up an outline for it as to what you want to happen where.  After that take it one step at a time.  But don't force it if you are having problems, let it flow as it comes to you.


Does anyone know of a legitimate online business?

Yes I agree with you. So many fake companies out there in the internet even in Ebay or Amazone. Don't trust any bull&*(t in the web that offering you business at home. Absolutely bull&*(t they are. Lately so money scam artists are offering sweeptakes, money loundry, and etc, please be carefull with that. The origin of email is from europe and africa. \n\nMost likely any company that are registered at a trade source should be legitimate because trade source is not cheap and they will investigate the company before selling but the problem is that you can not do business in retail, at least your class is around wholeseller or trading company. \n\nThe best thing to do business is trading - affiliate - agency (middle man). Find most demanded products in your area/country and get cheaper source outside worlwide and offer to some companies that need the products badly. You may learn it at alibaba.com or made in china.com. Enjoy!


What is "Be Ye Perfect, even as your Father in Heaven is Perfect." Matt 5:48?

No, lions do not live in the jungle, although some apparently  live in the forest.

Most of the media in the U.S. is highly leftist liberal and therefore is anti-war and anti-Bush.  I belive most people here soak this up and are ignorant about the real situation our country is in and about exactly what you are fighting for.  In their ignorance they shout the loudest because they think it proves their point although they rarely back it up with facts, only their political rhetoric.\n\nBtw...Thank you for everything you are doing for us over there.  I hope it comforts you that there is one person who knows what you are fighting for, apreciates it, will take your fight to liberals here, and will sleep better tonight knowing you are fighting for my safety.


My aunt named her daughter, Dan. Could Dan be a girl name?

If it were Danielle or Dana maybe. But just plain Dan? It's definitely a stretch. I guess anything could be a girl or a boy name these days. But I hope your aunt gave her a cool middle name so maybe she can go by that instead?\nIs your aunt on drugs?

i had a perfect love relationship for past 5 yrs n now my gal feels she cant b happy with me?

You say that you want to know how to get her back, and you know that she is making a mistake....well my friend I think that you need to give it time.  She needs to be able to come to the conclusion on her own that she made a mistake, and that this other guy is not the one for her it simply is not something you can coerce her into.  If you try, you will do nothing more than to drive a larger wedge into your already shattered relationship.  Give her space and time to miss you, and if she doesn't then you have your answer but she can't miss you if you continue to cling to her.\n\nAlso, I think something that you might need to consider as well is would you ever be able to move past her betrayal of you trust?  After all she did start another relationship before ending the one with you first.  \n\nOne other thing to consider is that perhaps your lives are just taking two different paths at the moment.  Maybe she felt that she wanted someone more inline with her own personal goals and aspirations.

to develop an application in windows, with GUI and seme logics, where can I find material?

Hello, You see to develop GUI, you can find materials over the net, or presumably you can get copied versions of those complier software in Visual Basic, Visual C++, Java, Borland C++ or elsewhere in the world. Or if you are an angel you can purchase them frm the repective websites(www.borland.com, www.sun.java.com, www.microsoft.com). Or you can get Java free JDK(Java Development Kit) from www.sun.java.com, get Borland C++ from the webiste. Only Microsoft is stingy about freeware, so only original or pirated.\n\nGood Day

are mormons racist? they believe skin color is a result of disobedience to god?

yes, but they refuse to acknowledge it. Their racism goes deeper than the institutionalized racism practiced in the United States, but it's probably not what most people consider racist. Most people think of active violence or open overt acts of agression or rejection as their mental image of racism; but that's not racism, it's prejudice. Mormons are racist and unapologetic about it. They'll tell you that there are tons of black members participating in their church. What they don't tell you is that there are very few black member in the united states, and taht within the US black member populations are-percentage based-mostly names on a roster...they don't go to church or participate in mormon practice. In the underdeveloped countries in africa and elsewhere, mormons have a growing population which seems to have more to do with American appeal than appeal to their theology. But mormons will insist they are not racist in spite of their teachings that skin color resulted from sin, and the fact that black mormons were denied leadership and other priveleges white members had until 1979, and the fact that mormons believe that when they go to heaven everyone will be white. This isn't the only form of descrimination within the Mormon church either. They also descriminate against women. Women still do not participate in any leadership that makes or changes church policy. They have gender roles; the woman is to be a homemaker and cook and raise the children; the man is to work and be in charge of the family...

If you're talking about the Amy Lee who heads Evanescence, I would say that's a matter of your personal definition of what a goth is.  To most people, I think she would appear as one,(possibly quite scary) and I would classify her music as goth rock.  But that's only about her appearance, clothes, and music.  Personality may also come into play.\n\nBut, no matter what, she totally rocks.

How do i get to lose a guy who cheats on me in a very tricky way?

Try giving him a good dose of what he has been giving you all along and see how he does the vanishing act.Take him on..in his own territory.Even if you're scared to cheat with another guy then atleast create an illusion for him to believe that you're humping behind his back and to add insult to injury leave heavy hints that it's someone he is close too.See how you get instant results.Either he will will leave you...that's what you want anyway or else go down(not on you)but his knees and beg you to give him just one more chance to reform.


No, because I can't stand her politics or personality at all.

If you drop a Ant from the top of the Empire State building would it live?

yes it would, even considering the acceleration of gravity. you still have to factor in terminal velocity. The mass of the ant compared to its area and wind resistance would limit it's speed during it's fall. After approximately 10ft, it wouldn't gain anymore speed. Quite possibly, with the wind, it would land several blocks away.

How do you read/convert guitar tablature?

Guitar tabs are great, and very easy to read.  Perfect for the non-music reading guitar player, which is probably 99% of those out there.  Each line corresponds to a string, and the numbers correspond to a fret.  They take a little while to get used to, but maybe that was just me because I learned to read music notation first.

It is a great home-based business. The hardest part is finding products to sell. Many people are in this business and there is a lot of competition.

at&t/yahoo advertises dsl for 12.99/no - what does it really cost ?

There is a couple dollars fees and taxes, not much more.  But also, the $12.99 is limited time (I think 6 months.)  Also, unless DSL is all you can get, a lot of times Cable is better, faster, easier.  I get Cox Cable for $14.95/month perminantly, no limits.\n\nI also recommend highly against loading any software to get broadband connectivity.  With Yahoo/AT&T it's almost impossible (not quite, but almost.)  With most Cable companies, although they send a disc, you usually don't need it.  \n\nLast advice:  Use a router, whatever you do.  Routers provide a basic hardware based firewall which is not as suspect to bugs and problems.  Even if you just have 1 computer.  Though more than just computers connect to the internet these days, so it may be worth it more in the long run.

How does Brown v. Board's case fit into Constitutional law, as discussed in the chapter?

The 14th Amendment of the Constitution states:  No state shall make or enforce any law, which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of any citizen of the United States. Not allowing a student to go to a closer school or a school that will offer the student more opportunities was unfair and a direct violation of the amendment.  Accorging to Chief Justice Earl Warren:\n“We come then to the question presented: Does segregation of children in public schools solely on the basis of race, even though the physical facilities and other “tangible” factors may be equal, deprive the children of the minority group of equal educational opportunities?  We believe that itdoes… We conclude that in the field of public education the doctrine of “separate but equal” has no place separate educational facilities are inherently unequal.  Therefore, we hold that the plaintiffs and others similarly situated for whom the actions have been brought are, by reason of the segregation complained of, deprived of the equal protection of the lase guaranteed by the Fourteenth Amendment.”\n~I once did a paper on this I hope it helps.  Remember simpily seperate but equal is not equal.


You can't exactly MAKE somebody love you more. The heart feels what the heart wants to feel. All you can do is show her that you're a great guy to be with, and hopefully she will feel that there is nobody else for her.\n\nTreating her kind, complimenting her, respecting her, and remaining faithful to her, are only some of the things that you can do ( or continue to do ) to show her that you're that guy. Be spontaneous, live a little, take her out and have fun. It is your job to prove to her that you're what she needs, and you can do that by keeping her happy, making her laugh, and helping her to feel safe and secure. Nothing in a healthy relationship is ever materialistic. Sure, it is nice to get and give presents, but the key lies in the emotional support.\n\nUltimately, even she can't control her own heart when it comes to love, so whatever the outcome, it is one you must learn to accept. Either way, find comfort in knowing that you gave it your best.\n\nGood luck.


how does a ship made of steel and other dence materials float on top of water?

Archimedes Principle.  The bouyant force pushing up on an object in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object.  So as long as the ship displaces more than its weight in water, it will float.  This is why ships made of steel and other dense materials tend to be very big and hollow.

How can my AIM program work, but not my internet browser?

it's impossible for aim to still work if your internet connection doesn't since aim needs the internet to work! try uninstalling the aim program. how are you connected to the internet? try doing a system restore (start, control panel, performance & maintenance, click on system restore on the left side). if that doesn't work, i would try reinstalling your internet software (like the cd-rom that came when you signed up for internet) or call your internet service provider.


To keep the other person interested in a conversation don't talk about yourself too much. Ask questions to get to know the person better, talk about any interests you have, classes, guys/girls, parents, etc. Become genuinely interested in the other person.\n\nThere are lots of ways to start a conversation; keeping yourself informed on current events, staying involved in activities, and keeping a mental list of good topics of discussion are excellent ways to break the ice. Ask simple, friendly questions about the person. \n\nFor other topics to talk about you can search the internet about things that you, or the people you will be talking with, are interested in. If you like games, perhaps search for the latest information about the x-box 360 games, pc games, ps3, revolution, etc. If you like tv-shows, movies, books, etc. Jokes are also great and the internet has lots of them. \n\nAlso remember that body language is very important! Most people don’t even realize it but most times you’ll already have made a lot of decisions about the person by their body language and tone, before you’re more than a minute into a conversation. You want to be cool, calm, and collected; act like the person is an old friend, even if you’ve never talked to them before, and make sure to look them in the eye. Instead of focusing on how uncomfortable you feel, prepare yourself by thinking of the issues that interest you most and what you would like to discuss about a particular subject. A little preparation can go a long way.\n\nPay Attention to what the other person says! This one is Extremely useful as you can bring it up at a later time and the other person will be surprised and pleased that you remembered.\n\nContinue to speak to everyone you know regularly. If you are walking and see someone you haven’t talked to in a while, stop for a moment and talk to them. It does not have to be a long conversation, just say hello, see how they are doing and if anything is wrong. You would be surprised by how little effort is required to win the friendship of others when you require nothing of them.\n\nBe nice and generally try to end the conversation on a good note. You don't have to make sure the other person has a great time Every Single conversation, but you don't want to think of all the petty arguements they've had with you.\n\nArguements... Don't. There are Very Few 'good' arguements. "The only way to get the berst of an arguement is to avoid it."\nIf you're wrong, admit it.\n\nDO NOT critize the person, or a friend, when talking to the person. If you want to point out something they did wrong, try to point out something similar you did wrong.\n\nSmile! Not a forced smile, the person you're talking to will be able to tell the difference. And you don't have to be an overly happy hyper-active person. Just smile naturally and, if you can, be somewhat happy. Remembering good times with your friends/family can help.\n\nLet the other person do a lot of the talking and be a good listener. (Somewhat stated in my first advice, ask questions, talk about interests the other person has. Answer questions sincerly.)\n\nHonestly make the person you're talking to feel important. You don't want to fake this one or do it too often, but if you honestly think they did something well, give them that praise.\n\nIf you want more advice, there are a couple good books that Will actually help. How to Win Friends and Influence People, is probably one of the best ones. It's an old book, but trust me, it's just as useful today as it was when it was written.\n\nI had one friend tell me recently that the way they dealt with being shy was to convince herself that talking was a competition with her own insecurities as the enemy. Thinking that way and forcing herself not to give in to her fears. It must've worked wonders because I never would've thought of her as having ever been shy.

Can you be safely pierced without going to a tattoo/piercing shop?

NO NO NO NO NO NO!   There are so many reasons not to do this.  Fist diseases, like hepatitis and Infections. Tattoo and Peircing shops are supposed to be sterile. They have to pass alot of codes and stuff to make sure their equipment is safe and clean.\n\nsecond this disfigurement factor.  Pericings don't always close depending on where they are.  The person needs to have the right equipment and know how to get the job done right so you don't get infected or scarred.  Many of the areas that are commonly pierced get like this thick scar tissue when they heal over, not to noticable but you can't perice through it easily so little chance of fixing boo boos.\n\nIf you are geting you ear LOBES pierced the little stations at the mall and such are fine, anywhere else on your body, research.  See their work.  Make sure you SEE them take the needle out of the package. Any good piercer will do that without you asking.  Make sure they are clean and talk to people who have had stuff done there.  The point of Tattoos and Piercing is adornment so make sure it is done right.

What are the problems the No Child Left Behind Act has presented?

The biggest problem is that it makes teachers focus on teaching to a test rather than just teaching. Knowing how to take the test is more important, under this system, than knowing what is on it. Further, the act has been severely underfunded. The act requires more qualified teachers (aka ones with more education), but more education means higher pay, which is something many school districts can't do.\n\nI think more importantly than any of those problems, there's the issue of how to measure improvement. Under the act each class is compared to the previous class, meaning this year's 2nd grade is compared to last year's 2nd grade. Now, obviously comparing different groups of kids is fundamentally unfair. People don't like to admit it, but some people have different base levels of intelligence. Certainly everyone who is not developmentally challenged should be able to pass high school reasonably, but to fault a school and its teachers simply because one class is, on average, not quite as smart is the most asinine thing I can think of. Thankfully the DOE is starting a pilot program of comparing student scores across their school careers (comparing last year's 2nd grade scores to this year's 3rd grade scores). That is obviously the better way to do it, but making the switch is going to cost money, something the act has failed to provide.

Dear Bob, \nThe investment to finance your education will cost you $7500 per year.  When you graduate in 5 years, assuming you have deferred all loan payments, you will owe approximately $47,500.  This may seem like a lot of money now, but consider the improvement in your future earnings after you get your college degree.  If you begin working now at a salary of $19000, after 5 years of 3% annual raises, your salary would be about $22000.  The job you get out of college will pay at least $25000.  If we amortize your loan payments over 20 years at 8%, you will have to pay about $400 per month.  This may be a struggle at first, but you can expect bigger raises (5%) per year with a college degree.  After 3 years, your income will be almost $29000 if you go to college compared to $24000 if you start working now.  This is enough to completely cover the loan payments, especially when you consider that the interest payments on student loans are tax deductible.  Beyond the third year, your salary with a degree will continue to rise faster than if you skip college.  It makes sense not only from a financial perspective, but also in the fact that you are more likely to find more interesting and challenging work with better career advancement opportunities if you get your degree.  Good luck!

Thats the problem with non union. (don't get me wrong...I am not for Unions in general) Yes, they can. Something simular happened to me at my job. Now, you could organize a 'strike' if everyone is in favor. The owners will take notice and might make a change. If you could get everyone together to complain you have a better chance to change it back. \n\nPower in numbers.

How do u keep family out of your personal life?

Dont involve them. Dont give them access on whats going on with you. Stay more to yourself. Catch them off gaurd with different versions of your personality that they have never seen from you before. The more you let them understand you..... the more they will ASSUME that they know you better than you know yourself, so dont open any doors for them to interfere. NOTE: always be carefull, always use basic principals, remember that we do not always make the best decisions for are selves, so it is not always safe to trust your own instincts, (sometimes its OK to let family in.)  If they are trying to help you.... just always consider their true intentions.


how much money does it take to go to disney world?

This is my answer to a similar question. There are two different answers that may be helpful to you. As to how much it will cost, it really depends on what you are wanting. What size is your party, more than four you will likely need two rooms, how long do you want to stay, do you want dining in your package, are you flying, are you driving, etc. You can pay anywhere from under $100 per night, to well over $300. So it really depends on what you are looking for. Disney is advertising their package right now where you get tickets and room for $1500, I believe that price is for two adults, one child and one junior, so that will give you some idea.\n\n\n\n\nHope this helps!\n\nHere are my answers:\n\n\n\nFor the lowest rates you want to go during off season or regular season. Peak season is not only more expensive than the rest of the year, but it is also really busy.\n\nThis is my answer to a similar question. You may also find this link helpful: http://mousetrips.com/faq1.html............\nand this one: http://mousetrips.com/crowdpattern.html....\nHope this helps!\n\nHere is my answer:\n\nDisney has been so busy lately that you cannot go without having some crowds. However, there are times where the crowds will be minimal compared to other times of the year. It is definately time for Disney to open another park to accomodate more people. Try going during value or regular season. Stay away from peak season. Not only will you save money over going at peak, but it will be much less crowded. I have also included some snippets from my answer to a similar questions.\n\nChristmas time is one of the most beautiful times of the year. Each resort is decorated for Christmas and the decorations are beautiful. If you go during this time you have to visit the resorts. They have a carousel made out of chocolate, a a very large gingerbread house and other amazing things. Plus, the christmas trees are beautiful as well. Also, the whether is nicer. Usually it will run in the low 70s during the day. If you are near the water it is a little cold and windy, but not too bad. Also, the parades in the park are themed for Christmas and very nice to see. However, if you have never been to Disney, you may want to see the regular parades. The crowds can be bad, but I have gone several times during Christmas and it is a great time of the year to go. \n\nI highly recommend staying away from the time around July 4. During this time almost all of the parks will close due to capacity. So lines are extremely long and it is terrible to try to get around. Also, it is very hard. Combine the large crowds and the heat and it can be misserable. You will not have as much fun if it is this hot and crowded as you would otherwise. however, the fireworks during this time are spectacular and will not dissapoint. But you have to wait a long time in order to see them from a good location.\n\nI usually prefer going after school has started. September/October is a great time. The weather is nice, crowds aren't and big as the other times of the year. If you go in value season you can save yourself some money. Keep in mind, Disney will often do refurbishments during this time because it is not as busy, so some attractions may be closed while you are there. But it easy to find this out ahead of time. Also, if you go in October you can go to Mickey's not so scary halloween. This is a must see if you go during this time. The park is closed early that day and you have to have another ticket to get in. But there is a fraction of the people in the park. There are rides open and you basically walk right on. It is nice to be there when it isn't as busy and it is really neat as well. Plus, if you have kids, it is more kid friendly than the Universal Halloween party.\n\n\n\n\nTHE SECOND ONE\n\nI book all my trips through http://www.mousetrips.com They are absolutely wonderful. They know everything about Disney and can help you to plan the best trip. They have the same prices as


what it generally takes a while to excite a woman and when shez excited it takes a while to slow down? why so?

i think the answer to the question you're asking is this. it takes a while to excite women because they are less experienced than men. boys usually begin to play with themselves in middle school, while some woman dont acheive orgasms until their thirties, if ever. men know what they want, sex is often more enjoyable for them. but if you are with the right kind of woman waiting to excite her is well worth it.


What are limitations for video surveilance and/or audio at the workplace?

They probably are not allowed to put cameras in bathrooms at all; more generally they probably are allowed to put cameras and recording devices up if they tell you they are doing so.  Some of this depends on your state's law.  Some of it may depend on what your contract or company policy manual says, but it may not.\n\nGive your local ACLU a call and see what they say.

What is the best calcium tablet to take?

You are right there are many different calcium supplements on the market. It can be confusing. Here are some things to look for: \n1) Look for bioavailable sources of calcium (i.e. calcium  carbonate and calcium citrate). \n2) Vitamin D is extremely important for absorption. \n3) Don't settle for calcium alone - look for other bone-building nutrients in the supplement, with magnesium the most important. Trace minerals like manganese, copper and zine can be important as well.\n4) Avoid high doses. Any single dose should not exceed 500mg of calcium as the body cannot effectively deal with more at any one time. \n5) Find a tablet that is designed to physically break down in the body. This has been a problem with some calcium supplements.\n6) Look for supplements only from credible companies that do good scientific research and clinical testing. Not all supplements are made the same.\nMy wife and I use OsteoMatrix, as it is the best that we have found.

What Is The Difference Between A Conservative & A Neo - Conservative?

A neo-conservative is someone who was liberal in the 1960s and 1970s but turned to conservatism when they were disillisioned with American liberalism and where it was taking America.Most neo-cons, are highly educated and were in high positions of authority in the 1960s and 1970s.\n  A conservative is someone who were supporters of the 1968 campaign of Barry Goldwater for the Republican nomination.It goes without saying that these same people supported Reagan in 1980 and 1984. Most conservative became that way during the Reagan years.


What are the requirements for the U.S olympics for track.?

Generally you have to meet a standard performance at a sanctioned meet or road race to qualify for the trials. In some cases, the trials may invite individuals who haven't met the standard in order to get enough competitors for an event.\n\nThere are usually A and B qualifying standards. Both get you an invitation to the Olympic trials. If you meet B standard but not the A, you pay your own way.\n\nTo make the team, you have to be one of the top finishers at the trials. \n\nBefore the Olympic games, you have to meet an Olympic standard. The U.S. gets to have one competitor in each event, even if they haven't met the standard. To get multiple people in an event, they all have to have met the standard.


how do i create a list of random numbers with no duplicates?

I'm not a php programmer... but using other programing languages is quite simple. Use an algorithm like this: define a matrix or a vector (depends on how many numbers you want listed) and start the random procedure: first chooses a number and compares it with every variable of the matrix/vector, if it's different then write it on the page and in the current position in the matrix. This is just a pseudo-code, but it's easy.

What should I do if I feel I can't do well in school?

Just focus more intently on your school studies. When you do that, you will do better in school and when you do better, then you won't feel so ready to quit. If you need some inspiration not to quit, I reccommend reading about British Antarctic explorer Sir Earnest Henry Shackleton and his trip to Antarctica in his ship, "Endurance". He named that ship after his family motto, which was, "FORTITUDINE VINCIMUS", which in English means, "By endurance, we conquer." The story of that famous expedition inspired me not to quit and I'm sure will inspire you not to quit too.

When was the Mexican Cession Obtain by the U.S.?

The Mexican Cession is a historical name for the region of the present day southwestern United States that was ceded to the U.S. by Mexico in 1848 under the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo following the Mexican-American War. The cession of this territory from Mexico was a condition for the end of the war. For the 38 years between 1810, when Mexico declared its independence from Spain, and 1848, the region had formed approximately one-third of the territory of Mexico; prior to that, it had been a part – albeit a remote one, largely without European settlement – of the Spanish colony of New Spain for some three centuries.


I would set up an account online to make friends, put yourself into a local category so that you can make friends in your area fast. I have this same problem because a lot of the people my age (17) are not serious about college and usually do a lot of drugs and like to party a lot, where as i would rather watch a movie, go out shopping and dancing and stay clear of the things like drugs etc that get your mind of track. \nGood luck to you. Be a friend and you will make friends easily. You sound like a very nice person I am sure you will have no problems making friends.

How many calories are burned during a 30 minute jog, moderate pace?

General rule of thumb is that you burn approximately 100 calories per mile (regardless of speed/mode).  If you are in good shape, you burn a little less, as your body uses fuel more efficiently.  If you are really out of shape (doesn't sound like this applies to you), then a bit more.\nSince you say you jog 2-4 miles, I would say you burn between 200-400 cal.  Probably closer to 200-350, since you are conditioned, depending on exact distance covered.

What is the shape of a completely flattened sphere?

I think these answers are skating around what you really want. First, I don't think you mean stretch, so that it fits any shape.\n\nYou mean to 'unfold' the sphere after cutting it. Your mental imagry is a good way to see how the area of a sphere is calculated, but we wouldn't do it in a physical form since the sphere would not flatten nicely. So those who argue that it can't be done are missing the real advantage of what this question gets at. At least in my mind.\n\n\nAfter much messing around with this, the shape, after all the unfolding, is similar to two parabolas joined together.\n\nThe problem is that because the parabola like shapes don't quite make a parabola, the formulas don't quite work out. The area of a sphere is 4*pi*r^2.\n\nIf we consider them parabolas each has area (2*(pi*r)^2)/3 making the whole shape area (4*(pi*r)^2)/3. Of course this doesn't quite equal 4*pi*r^2.  Pi is roughly 3.14 and the denominator is 3. If they were to cancel in the equation, it would be correct.\n\nBecause the shapes are close, but not actual parabolas, finding the area will require calculus in order to establish that it equals 4*pi*r^2.\n\nIronically, you could use the ancient method of exhaustion to arrive at the area. I think Archimedes did this, but the method was developed by a man with your name :).\n\nHey, being a math major is useful after all.


information about ion conductor ceramic?

Usually sintered material from a single type of crystal, such as CaF2 or ZrO2 (the latter used in the lambda cell of car catalysts). The ion conduction is a property of the crystals, not created through the ceramic accumulation.\n\nThe principle of conduction is that imperfections in the crystal - missing ions - get mobilized at sufficient temperature, so that the ions can be replaced from neighboring positions, making the gap migrate through the crystal along an electrical field gradient.

what is the proper crimping for a remington 223 round?

Nobody at a pawn shop would know the first thing about crimping a .223 round. If your bullet has a cannelure (groove around the bearing surface), then load the bullet so just the very top part of the cannelure is sticking out of the shell and crimp the round. Hands-down, the best crimping die out there for cannelured bullets is the Lee Factory Crimp Die. You can find it at any of the links below.\n\nIf you're not using a cannelured bullet, then there is no crimp. You'll be relying solely on neck tension to keep the bullet in position. If you're shooting these out of a bolt gun that's not a problem. If you're bumping them against an AR-15 feed ramp, you could have a problem. Measure the length of the loaded round, chamber one from th emagazine, then eject that round and measure again. If the bullet has moved, switch to cannelured bullets and crimp them. If the bullet didn't move, blast away!

I hate men who lie and cheat.

I hate how they can't help you around the house-they think it is a woman's job as with caring for children.I hate how many are irresponible with money. The one that agers me the most about my hubby is that "He does everything for me, I do nothing for him."Oh and I forgot they want sex way more than we do..we have other things on our mind too.

Are there any rattlesnakes in the state of New York?

Timber Rattlesnake\n(Crotalus horridus)\n\nMeasuring from 3-4.5 feet (91-137 cm) or more in length, the timber rattlesnake is the largest venomous snake in New York. The record length is 74 ½ inches (189 cm). Timber rattlers impress one as being very stocky; they are large snakes. Despite their size, cryptic coloration allows them to be easily concealed. Two color patterns are commonly found: a yellow phase, which has black or dark brown crossbands on a lighter background color of yellow, brown or gray, and a black phase, which has dark crossbands on a dark background. Black or dark brown stippling also occurs to varying degrees, to the extent that some individuals appear all black. Scales are ridged, giving this rattlesnake a rough-skinned appearance. The timber rattler has a broadly triangular head with many small scales on the crown of the head bordered by a few large scales, unlike the massasauga rattlesnake which has nine large scales on the top of the head.\n\nLike other members of the pit-viper family, the timber rattlesnake has a temperature- sensitive opening, or pit, on either side of the face between and a little below the eye and nostril. This sensory organ is used to detect prey and potential predators. Another feature distinctive of rattlesnakes is the rattle itself. This structure is made of loosely attached horny segments. A new segment is added each time the snake sheds. When vibrated, the rattle makes a buzzing sound characteristic of a disturbed rattlesnake.\n\nFor more info go to http://www.dec.state.ny.us/website/dfwmr/wildlife/endspec/tirafs.html

A dye can generally be described as a colored substance that has an affinity to the substrate to which it is being applied. The dye is usually used as an aqueous solution, and may require a mordant to improve the fastness of the dye on the fiber. In contrast, a pigment generally has no affinity for the substrate, and is insoluble.\n\nArchaeological evidence shows that, particularly in India and the Middle East, dyeing has been carried out for over 5000 years. The dyes were obtained from either animal, vegetable or mineral origin, with no or very little processing. By far the greatest source of dyes has been from the plant kingdom, notably roots, berries, bark, leaves and wood, but only a few have ever been used on a commercial scale.\n\nThe first man-made organic dye, mauveine, was discovered by William Henry Perkin in 1856. Many thousands of dyes have since been prepared and, because of vastly improved properties imparted upon the dyed materials, quickly replaced the traditional natural dyes. Dyes are now classified according to how they are used in the dyeing process.\n\nAcid dyes are water-soluble anionic dyes that are applied to fibers such as silk, wool, nylon and modified acrylic fibers using neutral to acid dyebaths. Attachment to the fiber is attributed, at least partly, to salt formation between anionic groups in the dyes and cationic groups in the fiber. Acid dyes are not substantive to cellulosic fibers.\n\nBasic dyes are water-soluble cationic dyes that are mainly applied to acrylic fibers, but find some use for wool and silk. Usually acetic acid is added to the dyebath to help the uptake of the dye onto the fiber. Basic dyes are also used in the coloration of paper.\n\nDirect or substantive dyeing is normally carried out in a neutral or slightly alkaline dyebath, at or near boiling point, with the addition of either sodium chloride (NaCl) or sodium sulfate (Na2SO4). Direct dyes are used on cotton, paper, leather, wool, silk and nylon. They are also used as pH indicators and as biological stains.\n\nMordant dyes require a mordant, which improves the fastness of the dye against water, light and perspiration. The choice of mordant is very important as different mordants can change the final colour significantly. Most natural dyes are mordant dyes and there is therefore a large literature base describing dyeing techniques. The most important mordant dyes are the synthetic mordant dyes, or chrome dyes, used for wool; these comprise some 30% of dyes used for wool, and are especially useful for black and navy shades. The mordant, potassium dichromate, is applied as an after-treatment.\n\nLook up leuco form in Wiktionary, the free dictionary.Vat dyes are essentially insoluble in water and incapable of dyeing fibres directly. However, reduction in alkaline liquor produces the water soluble alkali metal salt of the dye, which, in this leuco form, has an affinity for the textile fibre. Subsequent oxidation reforms the original insoluble dye.\n\nReactive dyes utilize a chromophore containing a substituent that is capable of directly reacting with the fibre substrate. The covalent bonds that attach reactive dye to natural fibers make it among the most permanent of dyes. "Cold" reactive dyes, such as Procion MX, Cibacron F, and Drimarene K, are very easy to use because the dye can be applied at room temperature. Reactive dye is by far the best choice for dyeing cotton and other cellulose fibers at home or in the art studio.\n\nDisperse dyes were originally developed for the dyeing of cellulose acetate, and are substantially water insoluble. The dyes are finely ground in the presence of a dispersing agent and then sold as a paste, or spray-dried and sold as a powder. They can also be used to dye nylon, triacetate, polyester and acrylic fibres. In some cases, a dyeing temperature of 130 °C is required, and a pressurised dyebath is used.

What are the relevants of automata theory to a computer science student or graduate?

Automata are abstract mathematical models of machines that perform computations on an input by moving through a series of states or configurations - a finite state machine.\n\nAutomata theory has close ties to formal language theory, since there is a correspondence between certain families of automata and classes of languages generated by grammar formalisms.\n\nIn addition, automata or a finite state machine is also used in modelling workflow systems.
