Describe the chief features of the Shore Temples at Mahabalipuram?

Mahabalipuram is a temple town situated along the shores of the Bay of Bengal in the southern state of Tamil Nadu. The sheer sculptural extravaganza of the rock-cut temples is not only reflective of the artistic tastes of the erstwhile Pallava rulers: the temples are also regarded as the birthplace of an entirely new style of architecture, which came to be known as the South Indian temple architecture. \nMahabalipuram art can be divided into four categories : open air bas - relief, structured temples, man-made caves and rathas ('chariots' carved from single boulders, to resemble temples or chariots used in temple processions). The famous Arjuna's Penance and the Krishna Mandapa, adorn massive rocks near the centre of the village. The beautiful Shore Temple towers over the waves, behind a protective breakwater. Sixteen man-made caves in different stages of completion are also seen, scattered through the area.\n\nMahabalipuram is about 60 Kms. south of the city of Madras, in Tamil Nadu. Mahabalipuram, or Mamallapuram, was the chief seaport of the Pallavas who ruled over much of South India from as early as the first century B.C to the eighth century A.D., and it is now recognized as the site of some of the greatest architectural and sculptural achievements in India. \n\nTemples of Mahabalipuram\n\nCave Temples were excavated by scooping out the scarp of the hill. The scooping work starts from front to back. The cave temple is usually divided into inner & outer mandapas, distinguished by the difference in levels. The front mandapa will have pillars & plasters numbering 4,6,8,10. The inner mandapa contains single, triple or five cells. The cave temple with little modification is categorized as Mamalla style. The pillars under this style are slender & taller with squatting lion at their base. The pillar is divided into distinct parts known as kalasa, tadi, kumba, padma etc. \n\nMonolithic Temples are locally known as Rathas. They were executed by chiseling out the exterior face of the boulder. Work started from top to bottom. The pyramidal vimana with sikhara at the top is an important feature of this style. It can be rightly said that these monolithic temples must have paved the way for the structural temples with elaborate architectural & sculptural details in the subsequent stage. There a total number of 8 monolithic temples found in Mamallapuram. The five rathas in one place, Ganesha Ratha, Valayankuttai Ratha & Pidari Rathas.\n\nFive Rathas\nA small hill sloping from south to north has been segmented into five divisions & converted into monolithic temples. The heights of the segments have been cleverly used for temples with single tier to three-tiered vimana. Each monolithic temples shows different kind of sikhara. The five rathas are Dharmaraja Ratha, Bhima Ratha, Arjuna Ratha, Draupadi Ratha and Nakul Sahadev Ratha. \n\nShore Temple\n\nThe Shore Temple on the Bay of Bengal was constructed in the 7th century during the rule of King Narsimha-Varman II Rajasimha (c. 690-728).The Shore temples is a temple complex consisting of two Siva temples and a carving of Anantasayana Vishnu. \nThe temple facing east is entered by a small gopura. On plan, it consists of a small sanctum & a front mandapa & is a two-tired vimana. The sanctum is housing a linga. The Somaskanda panel consisting of Siva & Parvati with baby Skanda is on the back wall of the sanctum. The dhara linga & Somaskanda panel on the back wall of the sanctum are the features of the Pallava temples only. \nThe temple facing west is also dedicated to Lord Shiva. The temple is large in plan comprising sanctum, mahamandapa, front mandapa, balipitha and dvajastamba. The temple’s vimana is four tiered with octagonal sikhara. It is important to note that stupis of both these temples are not covered by kalasa (copper finials).\nThe carving on Lord Vishnu on a boulder in Anantasayana form is lying in between these two temples. It belongs \nto the period of Narasimhava


why does my internet browser window show as done but then not display any content?

Depends on the type of browser you are using. If you are using IE its possible that its still cacheing the page to veiw, or its blocking ads without descrimination...(gee wish mine would do that sometimes...) If its firefox its still sorting the cache for veiwing. So you might try to look at your internet options and see what settings you have on the advanced settings for your IE and Firefox...whichever you are using at this time.


Have you ever called Progressive Insurance for a quote?

Yes, it was great.  They gave me the best price on motorcycle insurance.  They were also great when it came to paying claims.


is there anyone out there who can help me with a diet or simple excercise on how to lose belly fat?

Unfortunately you can't target fat loss, exercise and a sensible diet will help you lose the belly fat but you will also lose the fat on your hips and butt.  If you wanted a bit more shape in upper leg area then I'd recommend weight training (squats are an excellent exercise).

Why does water always feel colder than the air? Even if it says it is the same temperature on a thermometer?

The cooling effect is caused by the air or water removing heat from your skin. The water being much more dense, can and does remove much more heat than air. If the water and your hand are stationary, your hand will eventually heat up the water touching your hand and then it will feel warmer. As soon as you move your hand the cooler water will be felt again. This is where Chill Factor can be explained also.  As the wind speed increases the fresher cold air removes more heat from the skin making it "feel" colder.


YES GURL THEY DO Im with this great guy that I met on the internet.................We fell in love with eachother.come to find out he lives about 3 mins from me and hes going to my highschool next yr.

What do I look for when buying an outboard motor?

Have them start it up , listen to the engine. Look under the motor housing to see how clean it is. Look for any build up of oil anywhere on the outside of case. The most important thing that will tell you if it was ran hard and beat up is the condition of the prop.If you are trying to figure out size then just look up what it the boat is rated for, and check out similar boats with smaller or bigger motors.

Why do the fans throw squid on the ice in Detroit?

Well, everybody knows they're Detroit Red Wing history now.  I'd also like to add that during the playoffs, Detroit suspends a huge octopus from the rafters named "AL the Octopus".  Although, all the posts on here about it starting back in 1952 are 100% correct.  but nowadays many people convert the resemblence of the eight tentacles to represent the eight teams from each conference to make the playoffs, which is false.  Also, I know for a fact, in Detroit, I've never seen a penalty assesed for the throwing of octopus or hats for that matter.  although when it is thrown, it's usually during a stopage of play.  But we all love to see it.  It pumps us up.  Go Wings


How is binary data stored on a zip disk?

The same way it is stored on any other magnetic media-- there is a read-write head, a tiny electromagnet that creates tiny magnetized spots on the special coating of the disk surface. It writes by magnetizing the little spots and reads by sensing the magnetism in the spots it wrote on. \n\nThe written areas are ones, the areas not written are zeros. That is binary data. The whole rest of the computer, the hardware and the software, is to sort, compare and combine those patterns of 1's and 0's. Everything on the computer, including the windows, the colors, the text and the pixels of photos, the data and the programs that do things with the data, are stored in binary form on disks, either in your machine or on a server somewhere.

Damon is no doubt a good player, but is he worth that kind of money? Seems more like they're paying him for 2 good years or so and then he'll likely decline after that. Of course its not just that the Yanks have a new CF and lead-off man, but the signing took away from the Red Sox. Doesn't look like they're missing him yet though . . .\n\nIf the Yanks win it all and Damon contributes with some heroics, then yes, it'll have been all worth it of course.

If it takes 100. minutes to recharge one battery, how much Ni(OH)2 (in grams) is oxidized to NiO(OH)?

First you can calculate the quantity of electricity used to charge the battery using the equation:\n\nQ = It\n\nwhere\nQ = charge in Coulombs (C)\nI = current in Amps (A)\nt = time in seconds (s)\n\nIn the above question then\n\nQ = 0.5 x 100 x60 = 3,000 C\n\nNow the oxidation state of the Ni in Ni(OH)2 is 2+, while the oxidation state of Ni in NiO(OH)2 is 4+, so the change is 2+.\n\nFaraday's constant = 96,500 Cmol-1 so \nthe moles of electrons available = 3000/96500 = 0.03109 \n\nHowever, 2 moles of electrons are required to oxidise 1 mol of Ni(OH)2 therefore moles of Ni(OH)2 that can be oxidised is 0.03109/2 = 0.015545. \n\nLastly, we can now convert the moles of Ni(OH)2 to grams by multiplying by its formula mass, which is 92.708 gmol-1, ie\n0.015545 x 92.708 = 1.44 g.

The United States was the first country to build an atomic bomb. It is the only one to have used them in war?

Yes, Seneca said that.  Interesting that you would quote him. Do you know what his point was in saying "Be careful that your enemies dont get your weapons"?  Sounds a lot like that quote is very much in support of limiting nuclear proliferation Would it be best if nobody had nukes?  In the 50 years before nuclear weapons were invented, over 100 million people were killed in wars.  And in the 60+ years since, is that true?  If the US destroyed all of it's nuclear weapons, do you seriously believe this would end the problem?  That countries like North Korea and Iran would generously quite trying to build them?  The US, along with the EU, is trying to stop other countries from building nuclear weapons.  Are you trying to say that because the US, France, and the UK, among others, have nuclear weapons, that they should not try to stop proliferation?  Are you saying that the US and those other countries should get rid of their nuclear weapons, and thus would miraculously cause everyone else to stop building them?  Think about it-the US is hated by many powerful countries.  If the US got rid of their nuclear weapons, would that tend to make those countries more eager, or less, to build a weapon that, once the US had none, could aid these other countries in actually defeating the US on a battlefield?  Think through your argument- The US having nuclear weapons may be a problem, but it is unrelated to nuclear proliferation.  And, the US is not leading the battle to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons, the EU is.


how can 2g cast iron be dissolved in sulphuric acid?

It will be very much easier to dissolve the cast iron in concentrated nitric acid (HNO3).  I would suggest somewhere in the amount of 15 to 20 mL of concentrated HNO3 to completly dissolve all of the iron.  Just remember to NOT inhale the fumes as they may be toxic.  Note:  Sulferic acid (H2SO4) will actually dissolve organics such as plastic polymers.


Any Advice?? Nurses or Nursing majors only?

My one major piece of advice is to manage your time and plan ahead. Plan your week out in advance and set aside time to study and stick to that schedule. It's best to find a job that is related to nursing. Many hospitals offer tuition reimbursement if you agree to work for them once you graduate. That can help with your expenses. As for living arrangements, I would find a roommate that is also in your LVN program. Otherwise you might find it difficult to get quiet time to study if your roommate doesn't understand the pressures of nursing school. Don't be afraid to get low interest school loans to help with bills while you're in school. There are also lots of financial aid programs that not only help with tuition, but living expenses as well. Use the financial aid office at your school for more resources. You can also check with your school about jobs on campus. And don't forget to apply for every scholarship that you qualify for!

Are you saying that if someone wanted to "rent" a chick for an hour, day, or week they would just have to give your company a call?\n\nWell who are going to protect the women after they leave your presence?  Who is gonna prevent them men/women who rent from taking advantage.\n\nThe idea is okay cause sometimes I want to rent a guy to take out the trash and clean up dog poo.\n\nBut if you send the women out you'll have to send someone else to protect them.\n\nI think that men would jump all over this, but most (not all) would assume that something sexual was going to happen, that's the downfall in this idea.\n\nI hope it works out for you.


Is there any procedure to fix a nerve in the eye that causes the eye to move to the side?

Yes, there is an operation in which they detach and reattach the muscles that move the eye. It is a very simple and quite common procedure, however you may have a type of lazy eye that is more akin to epilepsy and this is brought on by stress or fatigue. The operation is probably covered by most health insurance.

there are 27 outs in a game so conventionally it's 27, however, if on strike three the batter swings and misses and the ball gets passed the catcher, he can run to first and be safe although it still counts as a strikeout, there really is no set possibility.


How come girls dont flirt with big guys and dont seem interested?


The answer to your question is actually very simple:\n\nThe idea presented in the "DaVinci Code" about Jesus, if accepted as the truth, will fully destroy the very core of the Christianity -- the Divinity of Jesus.\n\nSince Christianity based the faith upon that, Jesus is Divine as the Son of God as well as Unique; Jesus cannot be a normal human being.  Also, Christianity stated that, Jesus was crucified, died and then resurrected from death; the "DaVinci Code" offered the idea that, Jesus was just a normal human being who eventually died a natural death after surviving the crucifixion.\n\nThink about it, such a grave concept to consider, even shall it be a mere fiction, upon the minds of all Christians.  Their very own faith is attacked in a way which they do not know how to respond, but this is NOT the first time...centuries ago, a few sects of christians were burnt alive for this very belief.\n\nA fiction is a fiction, but this fiction has crossed the line so to speak.  Also, because the "DaVinci Code" is a fiction based on some historical and theorical facts, people will and do starting to ask "what-if" questions: and if one of those "what-if" questions is proven true...Christianity will start to be destroyed piece-by-piece.

is it possible to love my woman unconditionally, like a mother??

Having a difficult time getting over the love my woman like my mother part. I know what your asking, but that keeps catching my eye. I would have to say no, it is two different kinds of love but hell who am I to say. Good luck with that by the way.


Make sure you tell her you deserve an explanation for her distance. This is important. You have the right to know why she no longer wishes to be a part of your life. Just pull her to the side nicely or if you can catch her alone even better and just be like, "Hey, I've noticed you've been distant lately, is there anything wrong...did I do something to upset you?" Then if she doesn't wanna talk or explain herself, tell her "I deserve an explanation and I'll only try this once if your gonna give me the cold shoulder. I care about you enough to address the situation, but if you don't wanna be my friend anymore, at least have the decency to inform me like a woman". After this. just do what's in your heart. Go your separate ways and look into other options in friends. Someone is out there in the same boat as you and you'll find a new BFF soon. Good Luck!

no-sweat exercises that will help me lose weight?

Well, lifting weights can be good...The more muscle mass you have, the more calories you'll burn while not working out.  Don't forget that your legs are the biggest pieces of muscle on your body and are used very often for even the simple act of standing.\n\nAny exercise you do will add up to calories burned at the end of the day.  So, even if you just take 10 extra minutes and walk up and down a set of stairs, you'll be better off.\n\nIt's probably a good time to do a few crunches.  Leg lifts and push ups are probably good options also.

What is a fractured distal radius and a fractured distal ulna?

The radius is the bone in the thumb side of your forearm, the ulna is the bone on the little finger side.  In other words, if you feel the point of your elbow, that's the end of your ulna, and it continues up the underside of your arm (if you point your thumb up).  The radius is the other bone (the upper side of your forearm, in that same position).  \n\nThe term "distal" refers to being "distant" from the center of the body, so a "distal" fracture means that it is nearer the wrist than the elbow.  A "proximal" fracture would be nearer the elbow.\n\nHope this helps.

How do you get a non believer to become a believer?

You don't "get" a non-believer to become a believer - that implies you want control of his mind, lending credence to the idea of brainwashing. Instead, you calmly present your opinions (*IF* asked for them), and you have the courtesy and respect for the "non-believer" that you'd wish him to have of you, and allow him to make up his *own* mind *without* any undue outside pressure to "see the truth."

You'll feel better if you do throw it up.  Drink water with electrolytes (i.e. vitamin water, smart water, etc) to rehydrate.

Losing fluids quickly can be very serious, at times fatal!\n\nHope you feel better soon.


How do we stop the government from spending so much on stupid things?

We stop giving them the money.  I'd be less concerned with the $500 wastes and more worried about the $90 billion wastes.\n\nAnd believe me, they're plenty greedy before they get into office.  They're projected to spend $1 billion on ads for the midterms.  That means there is a lot of corporate money flowing to them and in return there will be a lot of corporate-friendly bills passed next session.

can holding your breath for one minute be deadly?

No matter how long you hold your breath, it will not be deadly.  Why?  Because your body will not let you hold it to the point of death.  The body will rebel by making you pass out and then your breathing will automatically resume.\n\nBreathing is one of the body functions that is both voluntary and involuntary.  It is voluntary in that you can hold your breath, purposely breathe slower or purposely breathe faster.\n\nIt is involuntary because you don't have to make your body breathe...it will do it with or without your help.  Most times, you aren't aware of your breathing...it is just natural.  So, try to stop it and it will take control.


how to get over self conscious,shy behaviour in public?

The best advice I have received was to remind/reassure myself that I have just as much right to be there and be happy as the next person. We are all just people and generally if you smile and greet someone they will reciprocate.\n\nI had a hard time because I thought folks weren't interested in knowing me, but mostly they were just shy too or didnt want to bother me because I seemed distant. \n\nPick a day when you are feeling really good about life in general and just smile and greet people that you pass. You may be surprised how many genuinely appreciate the friendliness and respond kindly.

I just purchased an above the ground pool , it is brand new but when we filled it with water its green still?

You need to add chlorine and all kinds of pills to the water.  Go to Wal-Mart, They have everything to care for pools.  It is a lot of work to keep the water clear but it is very nice to be able to enjoy it.

I'll give you my basic understanding, but I imagine you can get a better answer by googling, er, Yahooing them individually.\n\nDOM stands for "document object model" and usually refers to XML or HTML documents. If you're working with an XML file in an ASP or VB app, fer example, you'll probably use an XML DOM to navigate and manipulate the file. If you're doing some client-side Javascripting in an HTML page, there's a DOM that will let you manipulate the elements of the page.\n\nCOM, DCOM, and COM+: I'm *pretty* sure COM is just "component object model". It's the oldest of the three buzzwords, and it's the successor to earlier Microsoft buzzwords "OLE" and "ActiveX". In short, it's a specification for creating, registering, managing, and/or invoking some sort of component. Speaking in VB6 or VBA terms, if you simply go to Project --> Add References, see alla them items in the list? Those are probably all "COM" components. If you add a reference to one of them, you can immediately create an instance of an object, and Intellisense will show you the available properties and methods. You can call functions in other .dlls that are NOT "COM" components, but you won't get any intellisense help, and you basically have to know what functions you are looking for and what types of parameters they require. \n\nDCOM is just "Distributed" COM, meaning, it's an extension of COM geared toward utilising components distributed across a network. Your program runs on machine A, but it invokes a .dll registered on machine B.\n\nCOM+ is another extension on top of that, which allows for "transactional" processing, among other things. I'm pretty sure it requires another specialized Microsoft server (MSMQ? Transaction Server?) to fully utilize, but if you have a scenario where one or more objects need to perform a series of functions in a batch, COM+ is designed for that.

Well, Ma'am, ask yourself a question....Do you trust your boyfriend to be sane and sober all the time?First off, a practise is certainly not always acceptable to a guy, even if his peers are also doing it...in that case, we guys would all be doing doope, smoking,drinking and in short being entirely antisocial.But we aren't,are we?Do not worry,Ma'am....even if boys drink, they do stupid things, yes...embarrasing thing,yes...but hurtful things, no.


This is a Frequently Asked Question. Following is my previous answer:\n\nThis question may be asked so frequently (along with the infamous 0.999...) because no concrete axioms or definitions are ever given for the real number system until one studies higher algebra or real analysis; it is assumed that everyone knows what a real number is until then. The proliferation of these questions show that this assumption is no good.\nFor the sake of conciseness, I will not define what a real number is here, as only the algebraic structure of the real numbers is necessary to answer this question. The algebraic structure of the real numbers is what we call a field. A field is an algebraic structure that follows a finite set of axioms. These axioms define what statements are true and false in this system based on the laws of logic. You can find the field axioms here: http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Field.html .\nEach line is preceded by "For all real numbers a, b and c, the following is true...". Note that the proper form of the additive identity and multiplicative identity is that it prescribes the existence of some number 1 and some number 0 such that the equations hold. These same numbers are then used to prescribe the existence of additive and multiplicative inverses.\nDivision a/b is just shorthand for a*(b^(-1)). So in your question, you are looking for 1*0^(-1). It is easy to show that there is no such number as 0^(-1) in any field. Suppose 0^(-1) exists.\nThen 0*0^(-1) = 1. But multiplying both sides by 0^(-1) gives 0 = 0^(-1), which means 0*0 = 0 = 1. This is obviously false.\nSuppose 0 = 1. 0*a = a for all numbers a. But 0*a = (1 + (-1))*a = a + (-a) = 0. Thus 0 is not equivalent to 1 and our sole assumption that 0^(-1) exists must be false. Thus the expression 1*0^(-1) is undefined in a field.\nProof by contradiction is very powerful for many types of statements.\nAs to the limit argument, note that you are evaluating a limit of the function f(x) = 1/x. As we approach 0 from the negative x-axis, this limit decreases without bound, but as we approach 0 along the positive x-axis, the limit increases without bound. Thus, the limit of f(x) at 0 does not exist, so f(0) remains undefined with no continuous way to complete it. The limit is not indeterminate for this function; it does not exist.\nWhile 1/0 is not defined in any number system, |1/0| is defined as positive infinity in extended number systems (which are not fields by the above argument) for various purposes. See http://mathworld.wolfram.com/AffinelyExtendedRealNumbers.html .

how can i get free quick time music videos??

The problem with iTunes and the iPod video is that it will ONLY play mpeg-4 video.  Who has that laying around on their internet site?  Pretty much no one..\n\nWhat I would highly recommend is to bite the bullet and spend $30 for QuickTime Pro (you need a license code).  What this program will do is allow you to convert ANY video to this mpeg-4 format.  The best feature, and this one's my favorite, is QuickTime Pro enables right click, so now you can right-click and save any mpeg on the internet to your hard drive, just like saving a picture from a web site.\n\nhttp://www.apple.com/quicktime/win.html\n\nSo, in the end, it's a little investment for a WHOLE LOT of music videos or game clips....  Good luck!

Happy Easter ~~RAIDER NATION~~Who do you think our beloved Raider babies will draft in 2-weeks?

Raiders re-signed ( S ) Jarrod Cooper --- A special teams standout, Cooper will get a chance to play strong safety because safety Renaldo Hill went to Dolphins.\n\nSling Shot--- arm Aaron Brooks off course we all no this which at first they was looking at Joey Harrington but took Brooks over him good choice.\n\nDont A.J Hank looks like a Raider wishfull thinking on my part another dream is since Seahanks is stalling on getting another contact signed with Mike Holmgren he just my be up for grabs because since he is not GM anymore they dont what to pay him his 7 million contact and is entering his last year fire AL and hire a Super Bowl Coach but like i said thats just a dream but let me come back to reality.\n\n Defense = CB Ryans from Alabama or CB Jimmy Williams from Virginia Tech  both are projected to be in the top 10 on draft day April 29 \n\nGood Linebacker = D'Qwell Jackson -- Maryland\n\nIf the offensive line gives Brooks protection he will pick apart any team we play. Some good drafts choices and the Raiders our headed this year to the playoffs i predict and may have to give myself a good kick in the rear. If the Raiders are not all the back their close.*\n\nBest kicker all i know is his nick name is, Money cause thats what he worth to me dont know his full name he was the best kicker in the NCAA last year played for Alabama

I agree with you - no illegal immigrant has the "right" to do anything but to be returned to his/her own country. It disgusts me when people compare our ancestors who immigrated here legally with these people who care nothing of our laws, and so have no problem breaking them to enter.  We have immigration policies (they need to be enforced), and people can enter this country through an already established procedure. We should not be made to feel ashamed because we ask others to obey the same laws that every American is asked to obey!

I need to make a 3-D model of a phospholipid bilayer and also an embedded protein and need help?

Here is the one I recently made:\n\nTake a transparency sheet and take ear buds (used for over head projectors)- lots of them. Dip the top of cotton part, of a bunch of ear buds, in glue and place them vertically on the transparent sheet. Go on doing this to make a square tightly filled with ear buds.  Note: you will have to give support to the ear buds until they are glued completely. \n\nNow you can apply the glue on the other side of ear buds and place another transparent sheet. Paint the central region of the ear bud-sticks with black colour. If required, cover the sides. It now looks like a square piece taken from a region in the plasma membrane.\n\nThe cotton ends now look like the hydrophobic layers on either end while the central region looks like the hydrophilic ends of phospholipids. If you want to elaborate, you can include proteins in the bilayer! You can use colour papers, ribbons etc (you can stiffen them by dipping in some glue and drying in the shape you want; I have also seen hair-bands available that form specific ion-channel like structures. Goodluck!

c++ programming ? using loop structures?

the simple program given above if fine.. in terms of the conncept.. but there's a bug... \nthe problem is with looping.. coz when u enter a number such as 80301  or 55302 ( a no. having 0 in between), the loop breaks at the point when zero is encountered.\n\n so the output in the first eg. is  8 0 ,sum= 8 (instead of correct 8 0 3 0 1 , sum=12\n\n\nso the logic of handling the number is absolutely correct but the looping is a comparatively difficult job in this case!

Do you think overcoming depression is a question of will or the right chemicals?

I feel it actually both. The right attitude will produce the correct chemicals. It like Adrenaline, when we become excited or scared we will produce Adrenaline. Same with other chemicals. Depression is cause by many factors, most, are things that get us thinking negative. Debt, a good example; we become overwhelmed and begin thinking negative and the chemical balance drops. When we find things to do that a fun and enjoyable we stop thinking of the Debt and in our excitement produce the needed chemicals to overcome the depression. That why a lot of people become Alcoholics for example. They can get feeling good and do things, AND, Alcohol can work the other way too. Doctors just prescribe a feel good pill for an easy fix. BUT, getting around Positive people will also produce a natural positive result.

in kansas what are the 5 levels of community correction programs?

I hope this will help:\n\nBasically, the 5 levels are:\n - Intensive Supervised Probation (ISP)\n - Community Service Work Program\n - Graffiti Removal Project\n - Food For Service\n - Volunteer/Internship Program\nBelow is more info on each.\n\nIntensive Supervised Probation (ISP)\nIntensive supervision probation targets adults convicted of Level 5-10 offenses that are predominantly non-violent felonies, including drug offenses. Sentencing follows the Kansas Sentencing Guidelines Grid established in 1994. Offenders must be directed by an Order of Assignment by the courts. The program attempts to exclude persons who have a long and serious history of resorting to violence and persons who have a history of aggressive sexually deviant behavior.\n\nEach offender is required to enter into an intensive supervised plan that may include vocational, educational, and psychological or alcohol and drug treatment. The intensity of supervision ranges from jail work release and house arrest to frequent and unannounced contacts. Intensive supervision officers and surveillance officers make random curfew and drug/alcohol checks during evening and weekend hours. Offenders are supervised based on a risk and needs scoring instrument, which determines the appropriate supervision level. Through intensive supervision and counseling, Douglas CountyCC staff monitors the daily activities of offenders and provide opportunities for offenders to prepare themselves to remain law abiding and contributing community members.\n\nOffenders are required to make regular restitution payments to victims and pay court costs. Additional fees may be paid by some offenders in the form of reimbursements to help defray program costs. Others are given the opportunity to pay off court ordered costs by participating in the Community Service Work Program.\n\nCommunity Service Work Program\nThe Community Service Work (CSW) Program was officially established in 1982. Referrals are accepted from Municipal and District Courts, the District Attorneys Office and Douglas CountyCC. Used by the Courts as a sentencing option, offenders may be assigned community service work as a condition of probation or as part of a diversion agreement. Offenders are interviewed, screened, and placed to work at non-profit agencies according to their skills, experience and interests. With the court's permission, offenders are allowed to make restitution to the community in the form of work in order to pay off court costs and attorney fees incurred at a rate of $7.00 per hour.\n\nThe CSW Program is active in the following community events and projects:\n\n    * Kansas Dept. of Transportation Adopt-A-Highway;\n    * Lawrence Parks and Recreation Adopt-A-Park;\n    * Douglas County Fair;\n    * American Cancer Society's Relay for Life;\n\nThe program strives to facilitate a two way relationship between the offender and the community; the community benefits from the skills, experiences and interests community service workers have to offer while the offender is awarded the opportunity to pay back the community for offenses committed.\n\nGraffiti Removal Project\nIn an effort to keep the Lawrence community free of graffiti, Community Corrections is involved in a graffiti removal project. Graffiti is increasing in our community. Graffiti can be a form of communication of activities between rival gangs and it affects the community in many ways: graffiti lowers property values, decreases public confidence in the community, and erodes a community's image. Active participation from community members will help combat gangs and graffiti.\n\nThe CSW Coordinator monitors graffiti abatement within Douglas County by utilizing community service workers in its removal. Owners who may have trouble covering up graffiti may call Douglas CountyCC for assistance. Owners must sign a release of liability for community service workers to clean up the site. Materials used are generously donated from the community. O

Mathematics and the physical sciences use many models of the real world. While these models are self-consistent, they also strive to be the most concise such models. Thus many more models will give the same phenomena (Take the Lagrange and Hamilton reformulations of classical mechanics, and the necessity for all new physical theories to be proven equivalent to the established physical theories under the established conditions). Quantum mechanics mathematically reduces to classical mechanics in the large-scale, relativity mathematically reduces to Newtonian mechanics at speeds much less than c or mass-energy densities that are well distributed, and so forth. \nThus, never mistake a model of the real world used for prediction, with the real world. Consider an infinite plane (no coordinate system, just a plane). There are many valid ways of measuring distance on a plane. We find the Pythagorean theorem to be the simplest such method; the theorem is not prescribed by the plane, it is prescribed by our model of the plane. The taxicab metric: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taxicab_metric is also valid and is used in other circumstances where such a metric is more useful than the Pythagorean metric. The Minkowski metric is another that is useful in relativity theory. There are also a myriad of coordinate systems that we use to assign numbers to points on the plane; each system convenient to some problem at hand by being the simplest formulation. Underneath all these metrics and coordinate systems, the plane still exists unblemished by our methods of modelling it.\nNot even atoms are safe; first atoms were indivisible points, then there were really indivisible points making up the atoms such as electrons and protons, and now we are looking at subatomic particles as membrane vibrations: notes which can easily change various properties depending on the frequency of vibration in various dimensions. We like this picture because of its elegance and simplicity, but there's no reason to believe it is the "true physical nature" if such a thing exists, of the universe. Just a good way to predict events.


What was the life of Enoch like?  What was his heart's cry against? Was it similar to that of Elijah's?

enoch walked with God.  the only other human the Bible mentions doing so was adam; pre-fall.  adam was still alive when enoch was around, and as they were family i'm sure they talked.  enoch's desire was to be as close to God as possible; which made it so that God could take him home early.  \nelijah was different, in that he was such a dedicated servant of God that He got to skip death.

There simply are no differences physically whatsoever.  Nothing changes, nothing can be observed.  The only way is to ask a guy and trust that he will be truthful and honest.  Be careful though.  We need not answer a question if the person asking has no need to know or right to know.\n\nThere are a number of questions with the word virgin and what it truly means.  It seems to mean different things to different people, especially today.

Where do I get telephone numbers for free business grants?

You don't call about grants; you apply.\n\nIt is hard to find grants to start a business. Unlike the myths that some perpetuate, federal government and even private foundations hardly give grant money for a for-profit business. And yes, grants mean PAPERWORK - lots and lots of it, that is why a cottage industry of grant writers was born.\n\nNonetheless, you can go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) http://www.cfda.gov and Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov - these are two sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. Browse through the listings and see if you can find any grant that would support a for-profit venture.\n\nEven if you buy books on "how to get grants" or list that supposedly has information on grants -- all of them are mere rehash of what CFDA has, albeit packaged differently. But still the info is the same - hardly any grants for starting a for profit business.\n\nEven SBA does NOT give out grants. From the SBA website http://www.sba.gov/expanding/grants.html... \n\n"The U.S. Small Business Administration does not offer grants to start or expand small businesses, although it does offer a wide variety of loan programs. (See http://www.sba.gov/financing for more information) While SBA does offer some grant programs, these are generally designed to expand and enhance organizations that provide small business management, technical, or financial assistance. These grants generally support non-profit organizations, intermediary lending institutions, and state and local governments."\n\nMost of the federal grants are given to specific target groups with specific requirements (e.g. minority business owners involved in transportation related contracts emanating from DOT - Grant#20.905 Disadvantaged Business Enterprises Short Term Lending Program \n\nGrants are also often given to non profit groups or organizations involved in training or other similar activities (grant 59.043 Women's Business Ownership Assistance that are given to those who will create women's business center that will train women entrepreneurs \n\nFor private grants, you may want to check the Foundation Center's Foundation Grants for Individuals Online. It's a subscription based website ($9.95 per month) but their opening blurb only says that the database is ideal for "students, artists, academic researchers, libraries and financial aid offices." Entrepreneurs are apparently not one of them, so I take it they also don't have listings of private foundations who give grants to would-be entrepreneurs.\n\nhttp://www.cfda.gov\nhttp://www.grants.gov\nhttp://gtionline.fdncenter.org\nhttp://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol66/grants.htm\nhttp://www.sba.gov/expanding/grants.html


How do you think the mark of the beast ,mentioned in the book of revelation,will be applied to humans?

in a way it already is; think about it, you have to use your SS # for almost everything; chips have been invented that can be inserted into your skin that works the same as a CC; Dogs and cats can have ID's inserted into them w/ the same kinda chip technology.  It will just come to the point where you have to have a chip or ID to buy things.  It will happen and it will be very very very subtle.


To my fellow Filipinos, could you please translate the following sentences in English?

"When I am out of school, the things that I do often are reading of Science and Health articles and browsing of the internet related to my course. In my free time, I watch educational shows like the Discovery Channel and National Geographic. I play Badminton and I also go to the gym. I also play board games like Scrabble. My household responsibility is taking care of two of my younger siblings and my cousin."


Not forcibly, no, but I reserve the right to both disagree with their beliefs and try to change their minds on certain things (not that this usually does any good.)  For example, I think I'm perfectly justified in thinking that fundamentalist Muslims are dead wrong in thinking that we are the Great Satan.  I wish with all my heart that they didn't feel that way, and if they're willing to listen, I'd do anything in my power to try to convince them that they're wrong.  However, I grant them the right to think that we're the Great Satan and to try to convice me that my beliefs are wrong.  \n\nI understand what you're saying, and I agree that it's usually a moot point to try to change people's personal beliefs...Discussion and healthy debate is great, but all participants have to be willing to be a part of the debate.    Like in just about all other situations these days, people need to stop both making bigger debates personal and stop taking everything personally.  If anyone figures out how to do this, let me know.

How the President can rectify his mistakes so that his party wins back office the next Presidential elections?

Restoring the thousands of military and civilian dead and maimed to their families in the US, and the Allied countries would be a start.\n  \nAs the Congress pointed out during the Clinton era lying to the American people is not a mistake. GWB was deceitful in running for office as a fiscal conservative, and has lied to us about what he knew and when he knew it in the prelude to Katrina.\n  \nThe British memos have confirmed the allegations of Clarke, Wilson, et al that a case for war with Iraq had to be made at any cost.  So far that cost is the bankrupting of the country, and the death of about 2300 Americans, 207 Allied forces, the maiming of thousands more.\n  \nI'm tired of hearing "He's made some mistakes." "Mistakes" are made adding a column of figures and mispronouncing nucLEar. GWB's errors are monumental blunders, and reckless judgment lapses. \n\nHe can't rectify his "mistakes"

An upper gastrointestinal (UGI) series examines the upper and middle portions of the gastrointestinal tract (intestines) using contrast material, fluoroscopy, and X-ray. Before the test, you will swallow liquid barium (barium contrast material) and water. The barium is often combined with gas-producing crystals. Your doctor then tracks the progress of the barium through your esophagus, stomach, and first part of the small intestine (duodenum) using fluoroscopy connected to a video monitor. Several X-ray pictures are usually taken at different times and from different directions.\n\nThe short answer is they will most likley feed him some formula and then put him on a lil x-ray bed and take a few pictures.  You won't be in the room but you will be behind a transparent lead glass(to protect you from exess x-ray) and will be able to see your child at all times.

I absolutely agree with you. Tonight's episode all three judges (even Simon believe it or not. lol.), said that Chris was great!!

The rest of the girls had been in the bottom 3 but Katherine has only been there once.


whats the worst crime you have ever comitted? For real and have a record.?

Well, this isn't me, but my older cousin (only 16 at the time) now has a record because of the following:\nOne night (or early morning rather, it was about 3:00AM) he was bored so he snuck out of bed and wandered around hi neighborhood, then went over to his friends apartment building and threw rocks and small stones at his friend's bedroom window, trying to get him up. He didn't wake, so my cousin set a bag on fire, thinking that would work (I don't understand his reasoning either). Some neighbors had been watching and at this point called the cops, so when his friend finallly woke up, my cousin stuck his head in the window, then turned and left when immediatly hearing the sirens, he shouted "Sh*t the cops!" Then ran, headed for a swampy area hidden by trees. There, he hid for nearly half an hour, then when he finally came out, he saw about ten cop cars, all waiting for his sixteen year old self. So they frisked him, informed of his rights, handcuffed him and took him to the police station where he realized they were trying him for:\n1. Breaking and Entering\n2. Disturbing the Peace\n3. Arson\n4. Evasion of the Police (I think that's what it's called when you run from the police)\nWell, surprisingly enough all he got was jail for the rest of the night, though it's still on his record.

The water draining from an air conditioner is generally just plain old water.  The water comes from moisture in the air that condenses when it hits the cold coils in the air conditioner.  The moisture condenses on the coils and collects in the drain pan.  The water itself should not be dangerous.  However, if the water has been leaking for an extended period of time, you may want to check the area for mold (or have it professionally tested).  Some people are very sensitive to mold spores and can suffer allergic reactions.\n\nIf this was a recent, one-time leak, you should not have any issues with mold.  Just make sure that any wet sheetrock or carpet is thoroughly dried.  You can use a dehumidifier and/or box fans for this.  Also, cleaning the wall or hard floors with a dilute solution of bleach will help prevent any mold formation.  \n\nMake sure you have that area well ventilated (open windows) while cleaning with bleach.  I would not use bleach on the carpet for obvious reasons, but a steam cleaner may be a good idea.  Just make sure to dry everything thoroughly when cleaning is complete.\n\nThe drain line was probably clogged by a buildup of slime that is common in A/C drain lines.  Th line can be cleared by flushing the line with a hose to blow out any clogs.  Then pour some bleach through the line to clear up any slime buildup.  Make sure the line is still connected to the drain (not broken) when you flush or treat with bleach.  Otherwise, you may end up with more water on the floor.


how data warehousing and data mining could be used to make business decisions, i.e to increase revenue, cut co

Data mining software allows users to analyze large databases to solve business decision problems. Data mining is, in some ways, an extension of statistics, with a few artificial intelligence and machine learning twists thrown in. Like statistics, data mining is not a business solution, it is just a technology.  For example, consider a catalog retailer who needs to decide who should receive information about a new product. The information operated on by the data mining process is contained in a historical database of previous interactions with customers and the features associated with the customers, such as age, zip code, their responses. The data mining software would use this historical information to build a model of customer behavior that could be used to predict which customers would be likely to respond to the new product. By using this information a marketing manager can select only the customers who are most likely to respond.  The operational business software can then feed the results of the decision to the appropriate touch point systems (call centers, direct mail, web servers, email systems, etc.) so that the right customers receive the right offers.\n\nSo no matter what ever it is, all that matters is you use the way.

The cigarette was born some time in the 18th century: beggars in Seville began to pick from the ground the cigar ends left by the señoritos (rich young men), wrapped the tobacco remains with paper and smoked them. The first attested use of this habit can be seen in three 18th century paintings by Francisco de Goya: La cometa (The kit), La merienda en el Manzanares (Picnic by the river Manzanares) and El juego de la pelota a pala (The ball and paddle game).\n\nThe use of tobacco in cigarette form became increasingly popular after the Crimean War. This was helped by the development of certain types of tobaccos that are suitable for cigarette use. During World War I and World War II, cigarettes were rationed to soldiers. During the second half of the 20th century, the adverse health effects of cigarettes started to become widely known and severe health warnings became commonplace on cigarette packets

Fullmetal Alchemist is set in the early 20th century, in an alternate-historical Earth with technology dating from the era around 1900 in Europe. In this alternate world, the science of alchemy is heavily used, but takes on a fantasy element. Real-world alchemists tried to transmute gold from lesser metals. In the series, alchemy becomes the science of transmuting matter into different matter through the use of transmutation circles -- a scientific, yet equally magical practice, with seemingly infinite uses. Talented alchemists can become the military's State Alchemists. Against this backdrop, the series portrays the quest of the young Edward Elric, the Fullmetal Alchemist, and his younger brother Alphonse, for the legendary Philosopher's Stone. Their adventures lead them to discover the truth about their past and the very world they live in. Edward and Alphonse Elric were children living in the rural village of Rizembool in the country of Amestris. Their father, an alchemist, had left home when Edward was very young and Alphonse was a baby. Years later, their mother, Trisha Elric, died of an illness. In February 1910 the boys decided to attempt to revive their deceased mother. They study alchemy with a teacher and then use their father's notes to recreate a human transmutation circle. However, this attempt fails, costing Edward his left leg and Alphonse his entire body. In a desperate effort to save his brother, Edward sacrifices his right arm to "affix" his brother's soul to a suit of armor. After that, Edward's left leg and right arm are fitted with two sets of Automail, a type of advanced prosthetic limb. A State Alchemist by the name of Roy Mustang arrives during the failed transmutation in response to letters the boys had sent out seeking information about their father. After seeing their skill at alchemy, Mustang suggests that the way to achieve their goals is to become a State Alchemist and work for him. Spurred on by the man's proposal, Edward sets out to become a State Alchemist, enabling him to use the resources available to State Alchemists to discover a way to restore what he and Alphonse have lost. The brothers eventually learn of the Philosopher's Stone and set off in search of it as a means to restore their bodies.

In baseball, how did the relief pitchers area get to be called the "bullpen?"?

6 possible answers\nThe bullpen symbolically represents the fenced in area of a bull's pen, where bulls wait before being sent off to the slaughter. The relief pitchers are the bulls and the bullpen represents their pen. \nLate arrivers to ball games in the late 19th century were cordoned off into standing room only areas in foul territory. Because the fans were herded like cattle, this area became known as the bullpen, a designation which was later transferred over to the relief pitchers who warmed up there. \nAt the turn of the century, outfield fences were often adorned with advertisements for Bull Durham Tobacco. Since relievers warmed up in a nearby pen, the term bullpen was created. \nIn the 1800s, jails and holding cells were nicknamed bullpens, in respect of many police officers' bullish features -- strength and a short temper. The term was later applied to bullpens in baseball. \nCasey Stengel suggested the term might have been derived from managers getting tired of their relief pitchers "shooting the bull" in the dugout and were therefore sent elsewhere, where they wouldn't be a bother to the rest of the team -- the bullpen. How serious he was when he made this claim is not clear. \nJon Miller, a baseball analyst with ESPN, said the term is derived from the late 19th century. The New York Giants first played at the Polo Grounds, (since replaced by Shea stadium & the Mets) which opened around 1880. The relief pitchers warmed up beyond the left field fence. Out there in the same area was a stockyard or pen that had bulls in it. \nRetrieved from "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bullpen"


Who is the author of  the poem, "I'm very well thank you"?


Instead of focussing on the fact that she's mentioned marriage, ask her where she sees herself in five years.  I think alot of young women feel pressures from family and soceity to be the "full package", where they have a family and their dream career.  Maybe she's just trying to get a guy's point of view about getting married at a young age.  Let her tell you about what she wants out of life, and if it happens to include marriage in a few years, don't freak out!  If you're interested in the girl, ask her out and see how things go.  I think it would be weird to start a relationship with someone if you didn't think that sometime down the road you may want to spend your lives together.  Unless you're looking for a fling, most people go into a relationship hoping that things will work out for the long run, which eventually means marriage for some people.  The bottom line, talk to her and let her tell you how she really feels about getting married young.

How can we distinguish GOD'S acts of punishment from SATAN'S acts of evil?

James 1:13 When under trial, let no one say: “I am being tried by God.” For with evil things God cannot be tried nor does he himself try anyone.\n\nSince that scripture is clear. It is impossible for god to try anyone with evil. We can see that the evil and bad things that happen are from Satan the devil not god.


Do you agree that is is wrong to keep referring to Christmas as "winter holiday" in school?

as earth is round in shape, why dosent the people standing on the opposite side walk up side down?

Imagine a beach ball with two ladybugs on it, at opposite sides.  Hold your imaginary ball in front of you with one bug at the top and one at the bottom.  It does in fact appear that one bug is upside down to you.  Now hold the ball upside down.  You can't, because it is round, though the location of the bugs gives you an appearance of "upside down".  Taking the same application where Earth is now the beach ball and we are the ladybugs, gravity holds us to the Earth standing upright.  The apearance of "upside down" would occur if you could view a cut away, but you know now that you cannot turn the earth upside down in reality because of it's shape.

If you have a charged off credit card Can  other company's call you every day and say they will sue ?

Yes.  What the company that charged off the credit card did, was to sell your contract (account) to the collection agency/attorney that is calling you.  They can take you to court and sue for a judgment against you.  If you own a house they can put a lien on it. They can also demand $35 a week (or the sum the judge says) until the debt is payed off. Or, attach your wages.\n\nYou do have rights regarding their right to call.  You could call your State Attorney General to find out your rights.  (I know, after a while you want to disconnect the phone and except calls from no one.  I found it very depressing.)\n\nThe best thing is to eventually negotiate a settlement with them.  I think it is better to do this before it goes to judgment.  Also, Stay up with the court procedures.  As soon as you get served go to the Court house and fill out the form "Appearance".  I think if you look like a fighter they will be more willing to negotiate to a lower settlement.\n\nI got a lot of help from:\n\nwww.creditinfocenter.com\n\nGood luck!

Pray and ask God to guide you continusely and God will guide you to everything you want.... you won't need people like us then,,, earn by working by your own hands and share what you eat with others... MAY GOD BLESS YOU\n\nLoved your idea... I think I should start it too
