Keane, then one of Ireland's leading sports administrators was elected to the International Olympic Committee in 1922 and it is now generally accepted that the Irish Olympic Council as it was known at the outset, came to existence in 1922 but due to the loss of the minutes of the early meetings of the Council, the exact date is now not known. \n\nIreland was given formal recognition as an independent nation in the Olympic Movement at the IOC session in Paris in 1924 and it was at the Paris Games that Ireland made its first appearance in an Olympic Games as an independent nation. \n\nNo medals in the sporting events were won by Ireland at the Paris games but Jack Yeats was awarded an Olympic silver medal for his painting "Swimming" in the Olympic Arts division and Oliver St. John Gogarty was awarded a bronze medal for his "Ode to the Tailteann Games" in the Literature division. \n\nWhether representing Ireland or other countries, Irish-born athletes no w have the remarkable distinction of winning Olympic gold, silver or bronze medals in Athens 1896, Paris 1900, St. Louis 1904, Athens 1906, London 1908, Stockholm 1912, Antwerp 1920, Paris 1924, Amsterdam 1928, Los Angeles 1932, Berlin 1936, Helsinki 1952, Melbourne 1956, Tokyo 1964, Moscow 1980, Los Angeles 1984, Barcelona 1992, Atlanta 1996 and Sydney 2000.\n\nThe first Irish-born winner of an Olympic gold medal was John Pius Boland, a native of Dublin, who won the Tennis Singles at Athens in 1896 and he was to win a second Olympic gold medal when he partnered Fritz Traun in the doubles.\n\nhttp://www.olympicsport.ie/\n\nNorthern Ireland are part of the Great Britian team.


How do I sell my stuff online without a credit card?

Unfortunately, many ecommerce websites such as eBay and Paypal require credit cards or US bank account information. They need this to verify your identity, that you are 18 and over, and that there is a potential source of funds they can tap in the event of chargebacks for Paypal. Think of it as their guarantee. \n\nAs for shipping, decide on how you want to ship your items as the rates vary by country, by weight and type of postal service used. Go to your local post office, bring the package you will send (use the type of box and wrapping you will use) and ask your post office to estimate the charge for different services (express, parcel, air mail, etc.). And the important thing is to include your actual shipping cost in your total shipping cost charged to the customer (if you underestimate your shipping charge, then you will be shouldering the shipping cost instead of passing it on to your customers).

Who can jump better, baseball or basketball?

I've never heard of a baseball player having a 42 inch vertical jump. Many college and pro basketball players have that type of vertical. I think you have to be more athletic to play basketball than baseball. I've seen many very overweight baseball players, but you dont see overweight basketball players. Shaquille O'neal is heavy, but he is listed as only having 11% body fat. Basketball players overall can jump much better, but there are some baseball players that jump well.

can some one tell me why we pay taxs so we can help everone else when we need it here in the usa first.?

Because actually they make you think that we help other countries but in reality we take advantage of other countries by helping them. Like for example, you think we are helping Iraqis but in reality we are interested in the oil. Maybe in the process we do help Iraqis but the main purpose was the oil. We help other countries, but we help them because there is something in return. It's not totally free you know.


The standard international dimensions of an ice hockey rink are 60 metres long and 30 m wide. The ice is surrounded by a wooden or plastic wall, known as "the boards," which are approximately 1.22 m high.\n\nA red centreline divides the rink in half; two blue lines divide the rink into three zones: defensive, neutral and attacking. In addition to the centre circle, there are four face-off circles - two in front of each goal. Regulation goals are made of a metal framework with a net and measure 1.83 m wide by 1.22 m high and 1.12 m deep. Goals are centred on the goal line and set four metres away from the backboards so players can skate behind them.

If I am buying a home, how do I know it is a "buyer's" or a "seller's" market?  Which market currently is DC?

not sure about DC, the best way is to see if the inventory of homes is above or below average. If it is below, it is a sellers market, if above a buyers. A real estate agent in the area would know.\n\nIt wont affect prices too much either way until it becomes extreme so you probably don't need to worry.

Why does Mexican food make people go to the bathroom?

Combination of things:  The way they prepare the food, ie grease, oils, etc (fried taco shells, lots of cheese-which should be the opposite effect, fried chili rellenos).  There probably is a lot of beans-the musical fruit.  And the spices-your body may not be used to them and they may speed up certain processes.  If it is fast food style Mexican food then multiply the grease and bean factor by 10.

How big should my television be? \nWhat most people really mean by this question is, "what size should my screen be?" \nMany studies show that the Critical Viewing Distance (CVD) in simulating a "movie"-like experience yields a viewing angle between 25 and 30 degrees, or about two times the picture width for 16:9 displays. The CVD basically is the maximum distance at which the smallest picture details can be discerned. In a recent article in "Widescreen Review" (V11, N10, Issue 65, Oct 2002), Greg Rogers notes that the limit of angular discrimination for normal vision is 1/60 degree. Using that as an assumption, he provides the following formula to calculate the CVD: \n\n\nCVD (in PH) = 3438 / (# of pixels per PH)\n\nwhere PH is the picture height in pixels. If you do the math for a standard NTSC television, this generally means that you're going to need to sit back about 7 times the picture height in order to reduce the appearance of scan lines. Unfortunately, this also severely limits the viewing angle. \nAnother problem is that manufacturers use the diagonal measurement of a screen in advertising. This makes the screen sound much bigger than it really is. It also makes it hard to figure out the proper ratios when buying a new television. \n\nHere are a couple of simple multipliers to use in the calculation of seating distances from the screen. Any distance less than the optimum allows the viewer to see presentation artifacts and can cause eye and muscle fatigue. Also, don't sit too much farther away than indicated or you're wasting the screen real estate. \n\nMy ratios are derived using information that normally applies to the height of a television screen. Since most manuals and stores have no idea how tall a screen is (and most people don't carry a tape measure), it is easier to use calculations that rely on the diagonal measurement. The diagonal size of a screen is always available in the marketing literature. \n\n\nCalculating the optimal seating distance using screen size\nFor standard televisions (4:3 aspect ratio, 480i signal)\nMultiply the diagonal measurement (in inches) by 4.3. \nFor HDTV (16:9 aspect ratio, 1080i signal)\nMultiply the screen diagonal measurement (again, in inches) by 1.57. \n\nCalculating the optimal diagonal screen size using the seating distance\nFor standard televisions (4:3 aspect ratio, 480i signal)\nDivide the distance you sit from your television (in inches) by 4.3. \nFor HDTV (16:9 aspect ratio, 1080i signal)\nDivide the distance you sit from your television (in inches) by 1.57. \nYou can use these numbers to avoid being sold a screen that is far too large for your seating area (the most common mistake in television purchases). \n\n\nSizing a 16:9 set to replace a 4:3 standard television\nIf you're buying a 16:9 set to replace a 4:3 set, multiply the diagonal screen size of your current set by 1.22. This will give you the 16:9 diagonal screen size you would need to buy such that the height of the new screen is no less than your existing screen. However, you should always use the seating distance as the ultimate decider. If the seating calculation indicates a smaller screen than the screen height calculation, then get the smaller screen.


hypothesis on environmental effects of banana cutivation?

You will need to be clearer if you wish to receive answers.


Velocity is the rate of change of distance with respect to time for a given direction.\nVelocity is a vector, meaning it both has a magnitude (speed) and direction (usually given in angles from a starting point).\n\nIf an equation describing the displacement as a function of time is given as,\nS(t) = t\nthen the velocity is the derivitive with respect to time of S(t),\nv = d S(t)/dt = 1\nmeaning that in this case, the velocity is 1 unit per unit time.\n\nIf you dont want to use calculus, you could do it algebraically,\nv  = change in distance / change in time

The object of reverse engineering is to take an unknown structure apart and discover its principles of operation.  Perhaps you could take a huge rock apart to discover how Nature designed it.  Of course competitors may reverse engineer your product to try to build a better one or even to determine whether you have infringed on their own patents.  Detroit must do a certain amount of reverse engineering, otherwise all cars would only go forward <G>.

Im 18, shes25, I love this women to death, how do I get her to realize it?

You feel that you love this older woman the question is, is it love or purely obession to something about her. I feel that it could be love. Most younger men are attracted to older women.\n\nIm 32 and I know that when I divorced several years ago I had alot of male friends alot of younger ones. Seemed like the younger ones would find me no matter what. I did date a guy who was 18 at the time and I was 25 it was a beautiful realationship but I knew that he needed to finish college and have a chance at life. He didnt need my life not that my life was bad!! I just was 25 and was divorced with 3 children! But my ex cheated on me all the time and I finally found out and wasnt going to tolerate it!! Anyhow this guy needed to expierence life without me. Shortly after we split up about six months I met another man who I have been married to now for five years!!\n\nAll Im saying is Im sure that she hears what you are saying but is probably not wanting to pursue anything serious cause she wants to give you space and time to live your life. If I can be of any futher help just email. Good Luck and keep us posted.


do you think being a gay/lesbian is inborn? i mean, you cant take it away if you are?

I am gay. I was a good little Christian boy, that didn't even know that boys could be attracted to other boys when I began to have feelings for them. The farther I got into puberty the clearer it became that I had an attraction to males and felt nothing for females. It was the worst thing I can imagine ever going through. I hated myself because I thought God was going to hate me for the way I was feeling. For years I would cry myself to sleep after begging Jesus to help me change. I would have done anything to change. I just got more and more depressed and started to think about suicide all the time. All day every day I would worry about how I acted, because I didn't want to do something that might seem "gay". I convinced myself that I was just going through a phase, because despite my feelings, I didn't think I could possibly be one of those fags that everyone seemed to hate so much. Then when I was 16 and just didn't think I could go on living with the pain , fear and sadness anymore i had a realization that saved my life. I realized that if God knows every thing and he knows what's in my thoughts and in my heart then he knows I didn't choose this, and he has known how sincerely I wanted to be "normal". He knows that to me this felt normal. He is the one I have to answer to and no one else, and I don't have to worry that he will think I brought this on myself. \nI cant think of a single reason why a person would decide to be gay. Our society makes it so hard to be accepted and to live a normal life, that for it to be a choice makes no sense at all. I don't know if its genetic, or something that happens during development, or what exactly is the cause, but if there is anything I know it's that certainly for me, and the great majority of gay people in the world, IT IS NOT A CHOICE AND CANNOT BE CHANGED!\n\nTime and time and time again I hear these self proclaimed "Good Christians" preach about sin, and turning to Jesus to repent, and quoting from Leviticus, insisting that it's a choice, and it just sickens and infuriates me. \nHave you read Leviticus? The whole thing I mean. Not just the part about men lying with men, but the pages and pages about animal sacrifices, the parts about what clothes to wear, and what foods to eat, and everything else. No Christian lives by Leviticus anymore, but when it serves their purpose they will pick out parts to impose on others to live by. If homosexuality is such an unacceptable thing, such an abomination, then why is there nothing in the Bible about the subject that comes from Jesus himself? If all sins are equal in the eyes of God, and we're all sinners, then why is the sin of homosexuality so much MORE equal to "loving" Christians today?\nPeople may as well accept that we cannot change, we will not change. Just worry about yourselves,and let us worry about the fate of our own souls.

what is the origin of eighteeth century fairy tales?

Most of those fairy tales actually began in about 400 AD, after the "council of nicaea". They are to preserve the story of Mary Magdalene, the wife of christ. Mary Magdalene was actually a princess, not a prostitute. Her marriage to Jesus unified all 4 of the jewish houses, which was terrifying to many governments. The Little Mermaid, the marriage of a mermaid and a human, signifies the marriage of Jesus and Mary. It is the most direct of fairy tales in the linkage of christ, etc. It is even thought that the Canterbury Tales function in much the same way.

Do you feel sometimes that we live a meaning less life?

Of course, in the grand scheme of things I can find no meaning. You live, work, breed and die-- then your kids do the same. Things dont really seem to get better for the human race and I have seen us have no impact on the cosmos- all seems kinda pointless. Depressing- but- upside is that you are human which means you are subject to delusions of your own fantasies (animals I dont believe have this ability) so, create your own meaning. My goal in life is to be happy, and to be sure that everyone I meet has at least one good experience that they can remember and will make them smile too. That is my meaning in life- happiness, in what ever form it comes in

Me and my old man have been togeather for 3 years, & married for 6 months, y is everything now going downhill?

That's a pretty wide open question. There could be any number of reasons from bad communication to money problems to having met someone else or even just a change of feelings. I wouldn't even attempt to answer that, but you probably can.\nI'd suggest taking a look at your relationship in a pretty emotionless way. Look at what has changed in your actions toward each. This is NOT about blaming anyone, it's just seeing what's changed.\nI'd also suggest reading the book "Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus" by John Gray. That book really hits home on the communication issues. My hunch is that your relationship hit some sort of plateau and communication in some way broke down. Not necessarily in words, but in actions and reactions as well.\nI wish you the best and I am sure that everything will work out for the best.

exploring bioinformatics for crop improvement using genetic engineering?

This project will build a phylogenetically-structured database focusing on gene duplication events and will use a gene-tree database to address functional outcomes of major genome duplication events in dicot plants.\n\nPlant genomics research is poised to provide direct benefits to the agricultural industry. Genetically engineered varieties are already a major component of the US crops of corn, cotton, and soybean. The long-term trend toward increased exploitation of this technology is inevitable. This provides a mechanism for the agricultural industry to lead the world in innovative products that will ensure a more secure world food supply.\n\nTo make this potential a reality, geneticists and molecular biologists must be able to identify genes and manipulate them to achieve desired traits in crops. However, crop plant genomes are complicated in a way that makes this search difficult. One major source of complication is the polyploid ancestry that many or most crop plants have experienced in their evolutionary history. Polyploidy is the phenomenon of an entire doubling of the chromosomal complement, such that each gene occurs in two copies. Many of these duplicates are subsequently lost and some become specialized for new roles; this can occur within a species or through the hybridization of closely related species.\n\nThis source of complexity in plant genomes hampers the effectiveness of efforts at crop improvement by plant geneticists, breeders, and molecular biologists. Sorting out the multiple similar copies in a family of recently duplicated genes to find the one which has retained the desired function is a basic requirement for many kinds of genetic research aimed at crop improvement. In this proposal, Drs. B. Sobral (PI) and A. Dickerman (co-PI) have been funded by the USDA to develop an informatics system that will help sort out these multiplicities. This informatics effort will be complemented by laboratory data generation to find all copies of genes in targeted families and identify which are still functional. The analytical system developed here will be used in collaborative research with plant scientists on the Virginia Tech campus ( Dr. John McDowell ) and at Cornell University ( Dr. Steven Tanksley ) to address genes with direct importance to potential genetic manipulations in crops.\n\nObjectives\n\n    * Build a phylogenetically structured database focusing on gene duplication events.\n    * Build a database to store published phylogenetic trees that bear on agricultural plants. For each tree we would infer reasonable branch-lengths using maximum likelihood on the sequences used to build the tree or a larger set of sequences.\n    * Analyze homology among genes from the core crop species. This will include many members of multi-gene families for which orthology/paralogy relationships are unclear.\n    * Fit gene trees relating the homologous gene sequences onto the structure of the species tree to infer the relative time depths of gene duplication events. The goal is to discover ancient polyploid events and resolve orthology/paralogy relationships in the duplicate genes resulting from the event in descendant species. Use gene-tree database to address functional outcomes of major genome duplication events in dicot plants.\n    * Catalog evidence of specific polyploid events in the history of plants. This includes the search for as yet unknown events as well as adding details to known polyploidies.\n    * Determine how frequently genes are lost versus maintained after a complete genome duplication. We will estimate rates for gene deletion, loss of function through non-sense mutations, amino-acid sequence divergence, and nucleotide divergence.\n    * Determine whether classes of genes can be defined that are lost either faster or more slowly than average. In particular, we will look for differences between metabolic enzyme genes versus signal transduction genes. We will also ask, where possible, whether there is

iam a coolege studient i hate my father alot what can i do?

Hurt hurts but hate or anger kills.  Does the anger affect your father or you the most?  The fact your father has caused you problems means he has a problem.  Try looking at your father with sympathy for what he is and what he has done.  He has to answer for his life; you have to answer for yours. and hate should NOT be a part of your life.

What's the quickest way to get rid of "SENIORITIS?" I NEED HELP!?

I never really had senioritis, but from  what I can tell, the best thing is to realize that yes, you're about to graduate high school, but you have to be careful.  If you don't stay focused on your work, then you just might find yourself back at the high school next year.  Stay level-headed, and don't give in to the peer pressure that's telling you to slack off, because you only have a few months left.  That idea seemed to help a number of my friends when they and I were seniors, so I hope it'll help you.

hi! can somebody please provide me with the lyrics of the song Blue Eyes Blue.. thanksÜ?

Blue Eyes Blue\nby Diane Warren\nI thought that you'd be loving me.\nI thought you were the one who'd stay forever.\nBut now forever's come and gone\nAnd I'm still here alone.\n\n\n'Cause you were only playing,\nYou were only playing with my heart.\nI was never waiting,\nI was never waiting for the tears to start.\n\n\nIt was you who put the clouds around me.\nIt was you who made the tears fall down.\nIt was you who broke my heart in pieces.\nIt was you, it was you who made my blue eyes blue.\nOh, I never should have trusted you.\n\n\nI thought that I'd be all you need.\nIn your eyes I thought I saw my heaven.\nAnd now my heaven's gone away\nAnd I'm out in the cold.\n\n\n'Cause you had me believing,\nYou had me believing in a lie.\nGuess I couldn't see it,\nI guess I couldn't see it till I saw goodbye.\n\n\nChorus\n\n'Cause you were only playing,\nYou were only playing with my heart.\nI was never waiting,\nI was never waiting for the tears to start.\n\n\nIt was you who put the clouds around me.\nIt was you.\n\n\nIt was you who put those clouds around me.\nIt was you who made those tears fall down.\nOnly you who broke my heart in pieces.\nIt was you, it was you who made my blue eyes blue.\nOh, I never should have trusted you.\n\n\nOh, I never should have trusted you.\nOh, I never should have trusted you.\nOh, I never should have trusted you.

What is Democracy and how does it relate to political participation and social change?

true democracy is rule by the people.  The US is a republic where some of our officials are elected.  It is far from a true democracy because special interests have a huge influence on the election of officials and how they act when in office.\n\nA true demoocracy would respond to the will of the people and allow for continual social change based on their needs and wants.  It can't be a true democracy without continual political participation of its people.

where do i find good info about taiwans rivers and mountains?

For Mountains:\n\nTaiwan's mountainous area consists of mountains of over 1,000 meters, spreading from the east to the central part of the island. Most of the mountain ranges go from north to south. Starting from the east coast, they are: Taitung Coastal Mountain Range (Hai-an Shan-mo), Central Mountain Range (Chung-yang Shan-mo), Snow Mountain Range (Hsue-shan Shan-mo), Jade Mountain Range (Yu-shan Shan-mo), and Ali Mountain Range (Ali-shan Shan-mo). The Central Mountain Range starts at Suao in the north and ends at Heng-chun Peninsula in the south, with a total length of 340 kilometers. It forms the major watershed for Taiwan's rivers. Jade Mountain (Yu-shan), soaring to a height of 3,952 meters, is the highest peak in Taiwan.

Will the proposed U.S. Port Deal with the UAE affect our safety?

Safety of the ports is dependent on the Coast Guard and ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement).  If you want the ports to be safer (have nuclear weapons detection at more than one port, and have more that 7% of the cargo that comes in inspected), we should better fund the Coast Guard and ICE so that they can provide better security.

whtaever happened to kaitlyn hooper who played pubert in the addams family values film?

She was in 1 episode of Home Improvement in 1998.


Absolutely not.  For one thing, transplants like that are often risky, resulting in immune responses to it.  Second, even if it did happen successfully, there is no point.  Muscles are simply cells of myosin and actin filaments contracting.  I'm not sure whether it's possible to get the nervous connections working, most likely not.  But besides that point, it's about control of muscles, which lies in YOUR nervous system rather than in the muscle, which has no control over movement, it just contracts.

will a person pass a alcohol test if they had 4 drinks and stopped at 11 PM and  test was next evening at 7 PM

Yes, without a problem!  Alcohol metabolizes in the body at the rate of about 1 drink per hour, so about 4 hours after your last drink there should be little or no alcohol left in your system. (by a standard breathalyzer test)


where do I download Internet Explorer 6.0?

You can get it at \nhttp://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/default.mspx\n\nBut I'd suggest getting Mozilla Firefox.

Why is the phosphorus-oxygen bond so powerful in ATP? Why does it release so much energy?

The importance of ATP centers on the storage of about 7 kcal/mole of energy in the phosphorus-oxygen bond between the first and second phosphate group. The relationship of energy and the formation and hydrolysis of ATP is illustrated in the following equations: P = PO4-3; ADP = adenine diphosphate.\n\na) Hydrolysis: ATP + H2O --> ADP + P + energy \n\nb) Formation: ADP + P + energy --> ATP + H2O \n\n\nUnder certain conditions ATP may be hydrolyzed directly to AMP (adenine monophosphate).\n\nATP + H2O --> AMP + PP + energy\n\nThere are other metabolic phosphate molecules which store or give off energy as needed. One further example is the hydrolysis of creatine phosphate in muscle cells which also releases energy.

What's happening with Art Bell on the radio lately? Can he still be heard these days?

Art Bell has come back as the weekend late-night host of Coast to Coast AM. As for what station you can hear him on in Tennessee, just go to the website, \nhttp://www.coasttocoastam.com\nOn the website, you can find a whole list of all of the stations on which you can hear "Coast to Coast AM", as well as the times it is aired. Just click on the outline of the state of Tennessee and read down the list of the stations on which the show is aired. Cities are also listed, too! \n    Speaking of Art Bell, he can be heard on the radio tonight and tomorrow night. Another way to hear him if the city you're in does not have a radio station that plays "Coast to Coast AM", then just listen online, off of the website. The show is posted so that you can hear it live online, if you want.

What's the diference between a virus and a worm?

In computer security technology, a virus is a self-replicating program that spreads by inserting copies of itself into other executable code or documents. A computer virus behaves in a way similar to a biological virus, which spreads by inserting itself into living cells. Extending the analogy, the insertion of a virus into the program is termed as an infection, and the infected file (or executable code that is not part of a file) is called a host. \n\nIn the context of computer software, a Trojan horse is a malicious program that is disguised as legitimate software. The term is derived from the classical myth of the Trojan horse. In the siege of Troy, the Greeks left a large wooden horse outside the city. The Trojans were convinced that it was a gift, and moved the horse to a place within the city walls. It turned out that the horse was hollow, containing Greek soldiers who opened the city gates of Troy at night, making it possible for the Greek army to pillage the city. Trojan horse programs work in a similar way: they may look useful or interesting (or at the very least harmless) to an unsuspecting user, but are actually harmful when executed.\n\nA computer worm is a self-replicating computer program, similar to a computer virus. A virus attaches itself to, and becomes part of, another executable program; however, a worm is self-contained and does not need to be part of another program to propagate itself. \n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_virus


Could a clone be created from the unborn fetus taken in an abortion?

NO NO NO, an abortion is done during the development stage of a a human child. Which means the DNA hasn't fully developed either. What would be reproduced (cloned) is the the same thing that has been removed, and depending upon how exact the tolerences were on the bodily fliuds that would be needed to be used in order to finish the development were is what would determine the outcome.

What is the best 401k plan for a long term investment (30-40 years)?

OPM is right. Don't confuse the type of account (401k in this case) with choosing an investment mix. I help businesses design and implement retirement plans and as OPM said, you are limited by the plan your employer chooses. That doesn't mean you should put your money elsewhere, especially if your employer provides any kind of match.\n\nFirst rule of retirement investing: If your employer is going to give you free money, TAKE IT!\n\nIf you work for a fairly large and/or sophisticated employer your 401k may have a Self Directed Brokerage option. If available, this option will allow you to bypass the menu of investment options within the plan with at least a portion of your assets. Ask your employer for the details on the plan available to you.

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. \nI think you need to be patient with yourself and allow yourself to grieve. Don't rush yourself through the grieving process. Allow yourself to cry if that's what you need to do. You said you and your sister were really close. Six months ago is still pretty fresh. Have you tried talking with others?  Having a support network can be helpful. Also, it can be helpful to read books on the grieving process. You are in my prayers during this difficult time.

Is accounting a good job in terms of hours,annual salary etc?

In terms of salary: depends. Whether you work on your own, and then, what you get is all yours...(and hourly fees can be rather ...interesting..). Or you enter a company, and you get a salary. Anyway, it's pretty good money... \n\nIn terms of hours: there is the busy season, when the financial statements are made, and there's the rest of the year, when you have to keep the day-to-day books and all... Quite a bit of work.\n\nAnyway, if you want to become a Chartered Certified Accountant, I'd strongly advise you to go for it. I'm about to do it myself, although I am aware of what it brings. I want a family myself, in a couple of years, but I think I will manage to mix the two.\n\nGood luck! :-)

No, we haven't been properly introduced.  What a strange name for someone.\n\nOf course, if you are wondering if I have ever heard about the fraternal organization Alpha Phi Omega, that is a different matter.\n\nIt is a national service organization with many chapters across the US, like the Mu Alpha Chapter at Georgetown.  Please see their description below...and a word to the wise...people who belong to fraternities don't like the word "frat".\n\n Alpha Phi Omega is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization. The purpose of this fraternity is to assemble college students in a national service fraternity in the fellowship of principles derived from the Scout Oath and Law of the Boy Scouts of America; to develop leadership, to promote friendship and to provide service to humanity; and to further freedom that is our national, educational and intellectual heritage.\n\nAlpha Phi Omega is the single most representative undergraduate intercollegiate organization in the United States of America. We take pride in this and want to be even larger. We determine to be larger only because, if what we are and what we represent are important and useful to students, then we should share what we have in order to further our common goals more effectively. We want to share with colleges and universities all across this great land the benefits that Alpha Phi Omega gives to students, their campuses and their communities.

find factoral of 5000 using arrays in c language?

The above method will not work, as the data will overflow. The factorial of 5000 is a very large number, and will not fit in any atomic data type.\n\nI will not give the answer outright here, but I will let you know the steps required.\n\nThe most obvious thing to do is create an arry of "int", where each member of the array holds a single digit. As far as how many digits you require, you may use Stirling's asymptotic approximation to figure out the approximate value of 5000!. You can get the formula for the approximation here:\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stirling's_approximation\n\nMake sure that you add on a few extra places for safety.\n\nNow, your array should start off will every element being zero, except for the last one, which is 1. This corresponds to the factorial of 1.\n\nNow, inside of a loop from 2 to 5000, you basically need to do a long multiplication of the current array by the loop value. At each position, you need to do exactly as you learned in grade school - do the muliplication, add the carry, and store the last digit (mod 10 of result), and compute the carry (div 10 of result) and continue.\n\nTry for some increasingly larger numbers, and for small numbers that are less than 69!, you can verify the first few digits from your calculator. For larger numbers, you can again use Stirling's approximation to find out if you are in the right neighbourhood.\n\nI know that I have left some of the details a bit fuzzy here, but there is enough information to get you started in the right direction.\n\nHope this helps and good luck!


what role does polarity play in electrical conductivity of compounds?

Polarity is determined by the difference of elctronegativities. (less than .3) Covalent bonds do not conduct electricity so an element being polar means not a conductor.

the cheapest way is to connect two computers directly together using a cable.  To do this you will needa Network Interface card (NIC) in both computers (most new computer come with them as standard but if not they are cheap).\n\nbuy a CAT5e (crossover) patch cable and plug each end into the computers NIC cards. If your using XP you can run the "set up a home or small office network".

what if, in the spiritual world ( souls ), do you think, you have still feelings toward with other souls?

I like to think that you can still interact with other souls in the afterlife, if there is one... but I also wonder if our souls are just energy, and we just dissipate into nothingness when we die... but that can't be true, right? Otherwise this life would make no sense.

icannot connect to the internet with xandros 3.0?

If you click the launch menu then go to control center.  In there click network  click administator and type and enter the admin (root) password.  In the network settings there should be something that says renew.  If you click that the computer automatically detects a connection and establishes an IP address.  after that your good to go.  One piece of advice.  when using xandros, I learned from expierence to have my router on before turning on my PC.


is there any real solution for penis enlargement? is it effective and really works? i need a true solution?

Use a medical traction device such as the Andro Penis - it is a medical traction device that uses traction to permanently expand the blood-carrying chambers (the largest being the corpus cavernosa) of the penis. This method is highly effective, being effective in 98% of men in studies.\n\nUse the Andro Penis device 4-9 hours per day for 3-6 months. You will have time-linear flaccid and erect gains in length and some girth gains as well. The flaccid gains appear first. If you want additional girth gains than what you get with the Andro, you should use a PowerJelq device for 10-15 minutes a day to supplement it.\n\nI've gained permanently 1.75" length and 1" girth since June 2005 through the use of the Andro Penis and (very occassionally) PowerJelq for exercises. I'm very pleased with these results. Try it, and you will be happy to see serious gains after 3-6 months usage.\n\nCommon issues with the product are 1) how to make wearing the product more comfortable 2) how to effectively secure the product 3) when and how long you can use the product. Generally the answers to these 3 issues are: 1) use the padding band over your glans before putting it in the silicone band 2) use some padding or other material to prevent slippage of the glans out of the band 3) have a rest period every 2 hours at least, and massage yourself during that time to ensure good blood flow. Don't use the device while sleeping (you won't have the required massage break every 2 hrs). The manual that comes with the Andro has adequate information on what to do and what not to do.\n\nSide note about purchasing this item: you can usually buy this item on Ebay for about 1/2 the cost of other websites. Make sure to shop for the best price. I paid $150. My package included pills, but I never used the pills and I've still gained 1.75" length, 1" girth in 7 months.\n\nSee the link for a study on men using the device. It indicates an average growth per month of around .47 cm in length. Also, after six months, a "median minimum gain" of 2.8 cm.\n\nAlso, I believe it is helpful to perform PC (kegel) exercises to strengthen the PC muscle. You will be enlarging yourself quite significantly and you want to maintain very strong erection strength and stamina which are controlled by the pubococcyl muscle.\n\nIf you need more information let me know.

What is an easy ways to destroy 20 CD-ROMs?

I break them into pieces, or I break them and melt them on the grill or in a fire pit.  I'm sure every one has their own solution.  I'm not a pyromaniac, but I tend to lean towards torching them.


I don't wanna be too judgemental, but I'd never do something like that. However, it all depends on you and on the person you wanna date. And, of course, it also depends on your friends feelings, but, in any case it can be extremely difficult for all people involved. So, in my opinion, it is much easier to stay away from ur bestfriend's ex and not complicate ur life.

a) If an interviewer asks you: Why do you want to change your line of work or industry after 8 years?

Here are answers for your questions separately-\n\na)  In this case it is better to explain frankly why you want to change your line of work. I mean if you are dissatisfied with the previous work, please tell them so. But also tell them why you are interested in this particular line which you chose now. Being truthful and frank helps a lot in such cases.\n\nb) Hmmm...so if you have no experience in the current industry which you chose, tell them to take you on a trial-basis and judge your skills. But you have to work hard and prove yourself upto their expectations. Now that wont be tough.\n\nc) Well...as a matter of fact...everyone starts right from under and then works out to the top. For example, Mr.Dhirubhai Ambani in India has nothing to start a multi-national company like Reliance in the beginning. Azim Premji of Wipro Corp. used run edible oil business in the beginning. Bill Gates didn't have millions of dollars to start Microsoft. Everyone started small...but they grew big with their talent and their imagination. So starting on a lower position of job is nothing bad...you wil be promoted fast if you have the stuff in you...All The Best!\n\nd) Now in this case be frank and tell him what you are good at. If you are not so good in anything, tell them so and Do promise to improve. I think they will understand your zeal.\n\ne) Tell them how you are going to contribute to the progress of their firm. Tell them your merits and demerits and what they can expect from you and don't forget to live upto their expectation and your promises.\n\nSo All The Best with your career and i wish you a grand success\n\nrule wid style n luv@vinny


According to the biological theory of homosexuality (when baby boys are born gay) all women would be bi, r u?

Where's your evidence?\n\nWe all start out female (that's the reason guys have nipples). The gender gene kicks in later and we develop into males and females. Suppose any genetic or hormonal conditions which lead to homosexuality kick in after gender is determined? There'd be no more reason to think that ALL women would therefore be bisexual than there would be to say all men were bisexual.

I am on the moon I see the earth in a crescent phase, what phase does the moon appear as from earth?

It appears as a 3/4 moon.  It helps to make a drawing to visualize this.  The distance from earth to moon is a very small fraction of the distance from either earth or moon to the sun, so it's fair to approximate the light rays hitting earth and moon as parallel.  First, place the moon such that the earth-moon line is at 90 degrees to the earth-sun line.  In this setup we on earth who can see the moon at all see a half moon and moonlings who can see earth see a half earth.  Next move the moon further away from the sun so the earth-moon line is at 45 degrees to the earth-sun line.  Now the moon sees only 1/4 of the sunlit part of earth, a crescent.  (This is the situation described in the question.)  From earth, however, we see 3/4 of the sunlit part of the moon.  Whether the moon phase is waxing or waning depends on which "side" of the sun-earth-sun line the moon is on relative to the moon's earth-orbital rotation direction.

Why do people believe that golf should not be a sport?

People can believe that golf isn't a sport all they want.  But at the end of the day their broke-ass will be window shopping for products endorsed by Tiger Woods.\n\nPeople think Golf isn't a sport because you don't have to run.\n\nBut you don't have to run in baseball either.  Look at Barry Bonds.  He just stands in a box, swings and hits a homerun.\nHe chooses to run around the bases, but he doesn't Have to.\nThen he just stands in the outfield and lets the ball drop right by him and he watches the other outfielders pick it up.\n\nSo if these people believe golf is not a sport, then they believe baseball is not a sport.\nAnd if you believe baseball is not a sport, you're not a real American.

What's the difference between a function and an equation?


If you receive ssi can you inherit an estate?

Yes.  There are lots of different types of SSI payments, and different types of inheritance, so whether or not the inheritance affects your ability to continue to recieve the payments the year you inherit depends on what payments you recieve. (Is the estate in money? If property, will you live there?)\n\nYou can always inherit -- the result, if large enough cash or converatble to cash with some exceptions (not as many as there used to be) will probably be that you will lose ssi payments for awhile, maybe that month, maybe longer.


what is meant by mass disform spacetime?

In general relativity, mass affects space and time, causing what we call gravity, and time dilation. The equations predicted that clocks in a gravity field would run more slowly, although the effect is very slight for most masses that we are familiar with, like the Earth. It has been measured and agrees well with predictions.\n\nSimilarly, the equations predicted that light would be bent around a mass, like the sun, and this has also been proved to be correct. In fact, strong gravity sources can create illusions, sometimes splitting the image of a light source behind a high-gravity object so it appears to us to be two separate images.\n\nA new discovery is that the rotation of a gravity source, like the sun or a galaxy, causes "frame dragging", that is, distorts spacetime like water around a spinning ball, also predicted by Einstein's theory.\n\nThere are a lot of good science sites on the web for this information.

Capacitors are charged by a potential difference being applied accross the dielectric causing electrons to flow into (not across) the capacitor.\nBasically, the voltage source is just cramming as many electrons as it can onto one side and sucking up as many as possible from the other.  Eventually, this process slows to a stop once the ballety has done all it can to develop a charge in the capacitor, at this point the capacitor is said to be charged.

I can't stop coughing- sucks balls. How can I stop coughing?

You shouldn't say that it "sucks balls," but coughing can be painful and annoying. \n\nIf you have a productive cough, which is like a wet cough, here are some possible reasons why:\n-viral illnesses, like a common cold\n-infections of the lungs or upper airway passages\n-pneumonia\n-bronchitis\n-sinusitis\n-tuberculosis\n-chronic lung disease\n-chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)\n-stomach acid backing up into the esophagus (could be gastroesophageal reflux disease, or GERD)\n-nasal discharge draining down the back of the throat (postanasal drip syndrome)\n-smoking/tobacco use\n\nIf you have a non-productive cough, or a dry cough, here are some possible reasons:\n-viral illnesses, like one that lasts for weeks after a common cold, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), etc.\n-bronchospasm (spasms in the bronchial tubes caused by irritation)\n-allergies/allergic rhinitis\n-if you're taking medications called ACE inhibitors used to control high blood pressure (Capoten, Vasotec, Prinivil, Zestril, Zestoretic)\n-exposure to dust, fumes, and chemicals in work environment\n-asthma (also includes wheezing, shortness of breath, or a feeling of tightness in chest)\n\nIf you're a child, it could be:\n-croup\n-bronchiolitis\n-infection of the lower respiratory system, like one caused by respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV\n-a foreign object, like a toy or food, stuck in the airway\n-exposure to secondhand smoke\n-emotional or psychological problems\n\n(Most coughs seem to be caused by viral illnesses)\n\nIf the cough is persistant and bothering you, it might be best to get a health evaluation from your doctor. A cough is a symptom, not a disease, so your doctor will need to evaluate other symptoms that you may be having to diagnose a possible problem. Other symptoms include sore throat, sinus pressure, or ear pain.\n\nIf your cough is a productive cough, don't try to get rid of it. It's your body's way to removing foreign substances and mucus from your lungs and upper airway passages. But... sometimes coughs are so bad that they can hurt your breathing and prevent prope rest. Here are some tips to help you feel more comfortable with a cough:\n-drink plenty of healthy fluids to thin secretions and soothe an irritated throat; if you have a dry cough, drink honey in hot water, tea, or lemon juice. (don't give honey to kids younger than 1 year old)\n-elevate your head with extra pillows at night to ease a dry cough\n-suck on cough drops or hard candy\n-quit smoking or use any forms of tobacco, especially while you have a cough\n-avoid exposure to smoke, dust, and other pollutants that are inhaled, or wear a face mask when you are being exposed to them\n-take aceetaminophen, aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen, or ketoprofen (all over-the-counter pain relievers) in moderation to relieve discomfort associated with cough; don't exceed recommended daily dosage, carefully read and follow the directions, call your doctor before taking anything that you think may affect your health or interact with other medications, don't take aspirin if you're under 20 years old, and don't take anything if you are or could be pregnant without calling your doctor first.\n\nOther tips:\n-use a cool air humidifier; use only water in the humidifier and let the vapor blow directly into your face\n-sit in the bathroom and turn on the shower to create steam, close the door and stay in the room for several minutes, breathing the moist air\n-breathe the cool night air (but stay bundled up)\n\nIf home treatments don't help, I would see a doctor as soon as you can, especially if you have any of these symptoms:\n-moderate to severe chest pain\n-difficulty breathing\n-fever\n-coughing up blood\n-a cough lasts longer than 2 weeks without other respiratory symptoms\n-symptoms get more severe or more frequent\n\nCough prevention:\n-wash your hands frequently during cold and flu season\n-avoid people who have a cold

am dating a girl now, all she knows is  take me out, is that real love. girls pls answer this question?

You've got to get to know her to know if it's true love... Going out and having fun is great, do you have conversations? Do you share funny moment? Do you make each other smile?\nYou should listen to your feelings about this one, no one else but yourself can tell if this is love or not. Goodluck.


Letting go is hard. You need to let yourself heal before you date again because you're on the rebound. The girl that worries sounds like a sweetheart but you need to be honest with her and tell her that you're just not as ready as you thought you were for another relationship. As for getting over this girl, acceptance is the key and the first step toward recovery. I've been there, I know. You have to allow yourself to go through the grief stages, and yes, it's like grieving over a death because it is a death in a way. You'll got through many emotions but it is a necessary path that you must take. This girl does not deserve you and if you have to get mad and hate her, do that if it works for you as long as it doesn't harm anyone. Avoid all contact with her because for now, it's keeping you tied to her. Heal first then perhaps you can be friends. If you feel you need counseling, than get it. There is no shame in it. Another thing you can do is to work out at the gym. It helped me a lot and when you see your body starting to change for the better, you begin to feel better about yourself and more confident. You will get over her, sweetheart but it will take time and effort on your part. God speed and good luck. =)

Three kids come down to the kitchen and sit around the breakfast table. The mother asks the oldest boy what he’d like to eat. "I’ll have some fuckin’ French toast," he says. The mother is outraged at his language, hits him, and sends him upstairs. She asks the middle child what he wants. "Well, I guess that leaves more fuckin’ French toast for me," he says. She is livid, smacks him, and sends him away. Finally she asks the youngest son what he wants for breakfast. "I don’t know," he says meekly, "but I definitely don’t want the fuckin’ French toast." \n \n2 \n My grandfather always said, "Don't watch your money; watch your health."
