How do you convience your parents into letting you switch schools?

Although I feel for your situation, please understand, not all schools will allow you to just switch.  There are many more details to consider. Like tuition affordability, the ranking of the new desired schools educational records of success, and the convieniece of transporting you to and from the new school just to mention a few.\n\nMy children had to switch schools once, and they hated it, they wanted to move back to their old school, but a few years later they are adjusted and happy where they are.\n\nIf you are feeling badly at your current school due to harrasment by other students, stand up for yourself, speak with your principal, councelor, or call the state hotline of you are being physically threatened, they will investigate.\n\nTalk to your parents about what makes this school so bad, and try to resolve your issues, they may see your point if you address it in a responsible and mature way.

What is a good method to test whether or not you child is dyslexic?

The best method is to have a school psychologist do an evaluation of the child's abilities, achievement, and functioning in school. These services are available without charge to children in public and private schools who are suspected of a learning problem. If you are a parent talk with your child's school counselor or school principal. Don't be put off if they are skeptical. Write a letter to the principal saying that you believe that your child has a learning problem and that you want him or her evaluated for this.\n\nDyslexia is a type of learning disability, and is often called specific learning disability in reading. \n\nYou can also find a school psychologist or other child psychologist in private practice if you want to have an evaluation outside of school. \n\nThere is lots of information on dyslexia online, but be aware that there is lots of misinformation and lots of websites put up by people who want to sell you treatment that is of dubious value. So beware! A few good resources are listed below.


You've got two of your most important reasons right in your question...you need to move on & he is married. Honestly, this is exactly where I would start the conversation. Plus, one of the things you might not have considered is that you deserve more, as in someone who loves you & no one else. When you make the break, make it clean & permenant - don't let him try to tell you that he will think about leaving his wife or any of that other prattle. It will take time but your heart will heal...\n\nGood luck!

Take courage and confront him.  Ask him to explain exactly what he meant by those comments, or tell him that you will be forced to report him for sexual harrassment.  Under no circumstances do you report him without first asking him to explain (as it MIGHT be possible the comments were misunderstood... he might just be a poor joker)!

Annoyance is a very tricky emotion.  It can stem from different emotions such as anxiety or anger.  Both of which are controlled by a brain structure called the amygdala.  I'm a psychology student so I'm not talking out of my ass here, but here's an anecdote:\n\nI get annoyed when too many things are going on around me.  I wanna run away, know what I'm saying?  That's why in my opinion, something causes you anxiety, that anxiety is perceived as annoyance.  then you get angry at the cause.  Annoyance is the emotional link between anxiety and anger.  anxiety is not a bad word.  Best thing to do it find a quiet spot and meditate.  There really isn't any evolutionary purpose for it.  Some people don't have the slightest smidgeion of the emotion.  It's more related to anxiety more than anything.


Those deeds aren't recognized by any country. That came about because in some UN resolution they decided that no COUNTRY could claim the moon as it's own, or any territory on it. But, they didn't mention individuals or companies... so theoreticaly, a person can claim a peice of the moon, but no court or anything would defend that claim. It's been done before too, but lots of people.

GIVE SOME SHORT CUT KEYSTROKE IN INTERNET EXPLORER.?

See the source for a list of shortcuts from Microsoft.


With the shape of our eyes, wouldn't the image of everything be upside down in our retina?

you were correct.  It appears that the howstuffworks diagram showing the bicycle mentioned in another answer is in error in that the bicycle would be upside down as shown but the tires and handlebars should not be reversed the way shown.  For example if you are looking at a nearby shrub and a distant tree, both would be upsidedown on your retina.  But the order of objects would be tree, shrub, focal point of eye, shrub image then tree image.\n\nAn experiment was conducted where people wore special glasses that inverted objects as the eye does.  After a while they learned to see correctly again and when they took the glasses off everything was inverted until they re-learned to see correctly once again.

what does it mean when sometimes your testitcles hurt a little for no aparent reason?

It could be a couple of things. Firstly do they both hurt at the same time? If they both hurt then it could be that you have strained them during sport or some other activity. If only one is hurting, or one is hurting more than the other it could be that you have an infection. STI's (Sexually Transmitted Infections) are very common nowadays and it could be that you have caught one from a partner that you had unprotected sex with. Your best bet is to go and see a doctor ASAP and get yourself properly checked out.

Why do Christians support the Death Penalty?

When confronted with that question, Christians  typically cite the passage from Matthew 5:38, "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth." \n\nBut the real answer is a bit more complex and has to do with political divisions in America and "the party line." When the Republican Party began seriously courting the Christian voter base they made some, previously ambiguous, positions clear, like the "right to life" position. They, however, retained the some of the old ways, such as capital punishment and many Republican Christians simply go along with the "party line." \n\nYou may also want to ask the question: "Why do Christians vote Republican?"

What is the best way to learn a language fluently as an adult?

Immersion in a French-only culture is the best way to learn the language as an adult.  While I grew up hearing French ocassionally around the house and studied it for years in school, it was not until I lived in France for a year that I felt completely comfortable speaking the language.  If this is not an option, I would suggest taking a class that uses TPRS or a similar approach.  Otherwise, you will learn a lot of vocabulary and some grammar, but not a sense of the language as a whole.

If you think you're superhuman enough, you can actually go through the process of getting Guinness to verify your record attempt.


My 128mb USB jump drive crashed, is there any way I can recover the data?

Try using ScanDisk if you using Windows 98/Me.  I don't think that tool is available for Windows XP.  Try accessing the drive on another PC.  If the jump drive came with drivers (especially for Windows 98) try reinstalling them.\n\nIf these steps don't work, probably you won't be able to access it anymore.


What is the best way to fight off the flu without a shot?

Wash your hands before you eat anything, or better yet use an antibacterial that you can keep in your purse, or if you're a guy in your pocket, don't put your fingers in your mouth (i.e., bite your nails). One good piece of advice in preventing colds or the flu is to not borrow pens...always make sure you have one of your own...that way you know that you're not holding something that someone who just coughed or sneezed into their hand was just touching.\n\nAs always, make sure you take in lots of vitamin C daily.  Lots of orange juice, and go with a multivatimin.  FYI, all of these things are good to practice anyway but are especially good practices to remember around flu season.


What is the fastest and best way to make a lot of money?

Who's a better basketball player?  Shawn Bradley, George Mureson, or Manute Bol???

Currently, Shawn Bradley, since he was most recently employed by an NBA team and is probably in the best shape. (Especially considering Bol's tragic car accident that almost killed him. Get well soon, Manute!) However, back in the day, I think Manute was better. None of them were great, but Bol was a great shot blocker. Mureson was a better actor than basketball player, which is extremely sad to anyone who has seen "My Giant". Bradley was probably a (slightly) better offensive player, but Bol was much better defensively.

If a lightning strike is a sufficient distance from the observer, sound from the strike will not be heard. These silent bolts are called heat lightning. Lightning bolts produce thunder, but the thunder sound does not travel all the way to the observer if the observer is too far away.\n\nThe movement of sound in the atmosphere depends on the atmospheric properties of the air such as temperature and density. Because temperature and density change with height, the sound of thunder is refracted through the troposphere. This refraction results in spaces of volume in which the thunder does not propagate through. For more information, please refer to the source

looking for companies or businesses thst are willing to donate needed items such as, windows, and doors.?

I am a catholic, but regardless of religion or differences, I am more then willing to help.  You can go and look up home improvement contractors for help.  Tell them that you are a church and are in need of old windows, doors, etc etc.  Tell them that you will be removing it yourself, so they would be more willing to help.  Just have them call you when they have something.  They will probably call you when they are cleaning out, or when they need some things out of the way and dont have time.  Just ask for the location and pick it up.  I mean, they were going to throw it away anyways.  Not only does it take time, but it costs money to dispose of these things.  I mean, some window is better then no window.  Its a start.  I mean, I get alot of free stuff from other contractors all the time.  Good luck my friends

what is MN in blood group and 20 types of blood related?

Human MN Blood Group\nThe human MN blood group shows co-dominant inheritance at a single gene with two alleles. This makes the system ideal for population genetic studies in humans since all three genotypes can be identified and allele frequencies can be calculated directly. \nSince specific anti-M and anti-N antibodies are available, an individual can be blood typed as indicated in the following table:\n\n\nBlood\nType Anti-M\nReaction Anti-N\nReaction Genotype \nM + - MM \nN - + NN \nMN + + MN \n\nThe calculation of the frequency of either the M or N allele in a particular population is done by the simple relationship as follows:\n\n\np(M) = (# or frequency of M types + half the # or frequency of MN types) / total\nThe table below lists the observed blood type frequencies in several, different populations along with the calculated values of the M and N alleles and the expected frequencies of the three blood groups.

when Limewire said that "need more sources", what does it mean? what can i do with it?

It means that it needs more people who have has the file available for downloading.  It works by downloading the file from several peoples PCs at the same time to yours.  It makes the downloads faster.  A lot of people limit how many files can be uploaded from their computer at one time.  As soon as enough folk's file opens up for you to download it will begin.  It is like waiting in line.\n\nIf you find this the best answer, please rate it as that.  Thanks in advance!

WHAT DOES ARTICLE 1A OF THE VERNON ANNOTATED CIVIL STATUTES HAVE TO DO WITH RESERVE DEPUTIES?

First, stop the CAPSLOCK.  Second, as usual with legal-related questions on Yahoo! Answers, far too little information exists to answer the question adequately. Vernon's Annotated MISSOURI Statutes?  Vernon's TEXAS Civil Statutes?  Let's assume it's Texas.  Article 1A is an invalid reference; articles usually refer to portions of constitutions or to legislative documents, nto statutes.  Come back with a question that's more detailed, more specific, and with careful grammar so that I can answer it adequately.


Broilers are chickens that are raised for the meat.  They are usually prepared for market at about 8 weeks.  In most cases, they sit around in the box and eat and of course pass it on. (How many ways can you say that ?!?)  \nLayers on the other hand, are raised for the eggs they lay.  Thus the term.  If the layer is on a chicken farm, they sit in a box.  Each hen has it's own box.  The floor is almost like an upside-down bowl, but not as sharply turned.  Just light enough so that the eggs roll down into a egg-gathering conveyer belt.  The eggs are then cleaned and then put into boxes.\nBut if the layer is on a farm, they eat beetles and worms and dirt and grass and small stones to help with digestion.  Eggs from a farm almost always taste better than eggs from a "chicken factory".

When i travel faster than the speed of a sound in a aircraft, Can i hear the engine sound of the aircraft ?

If you are in the aircraft you would be able to hear the engine due to its noise being transmitted through the aircraft structure, to the air surrounding you, which then is heard by your ears.\n\nIf you were outside of the aircraft, somewhere in front of the engine, and travelling at the same speed of the aircraft you would not hear the engine noise.\n\nThis is because as the aircraft accelertates towards the speed of sound the aircraft starts to catch up with the shock wave which causes the sound of the engine in front of the aircraft.   At the speed of sound the engine sound shock wave will be somewhere near or on the front of the engine, so if you are far enough in front of the engine you would not hear it.

why is there only one timezone in china?

There is only one time-zone in China because the government there regulates it to be that way.  Time-zones are largely a convention, and given the use of UTC time (Universal Coordinated Time / Greenwich Mean Time), time-zones are not entirely necessary.  They are predominantly kept because of familiarity and historical convention.  That said, in China it is easier for the nation to function administratively with only one time-zone, so they have chosen that.  In the United States, the government chose to have time-zones for the people over administrative reasons...although some regions of the country (such as parts of Indiana and Arizona) have selected rules that do not follow the national norm (i.e. they don't use Daylight Savings Time).

No one knows for sure when Jesus Christ was born, but many scholars believe it was probably around the first of October. Dec. 25 was formerly celebrated as the birthday of the pagan diety Mithras in the Roman Empire. The Emperor Constantine who legalized Christianity in the Empire in the 4th century A.D., commandeered the holiday for the Christians in his empire. You need not feel guilty, however, if you celebrate the birth of Jesus on this day as this has been a tradition all over the world for centuries and the original pagan meaning of the day has been all but obliterated by time and tradition. Hope this helps.><>Sir Brian

how to decrease trygleciride leve from 500 to 165?

I decreased mine from over 600 to about 150. Here's how: diet, exercise, supplementation. In order now:\n1) Diet. I didn't do no carb, but I did cut out all bad carbs. Eat only low glycemic index carbs. Get adequate protein. 2) Excercise. I went from being sedentary to running a full 26.2 mile marathon. While helpful, I'm sure that you can do just fine by walking briskly 5 days a week, 45 minutes to an hour a day. 3) Supplementation. Lot's of quackery to avoid here. I basically only looked at peer reviewed medical journals (JAMA, Lancet, NEJM, etc). Here's what I take, your mileage may vary: one good mult-vitatmin/multi-mineral. In addition, 3 fish oil capsules, 2 garlic pills, 1000mg non flush Niacin, 1600mcg Folic Acid, 1 buffered aspirin, 2 flax oil pills. I think that's it. If you buy your stuff at Wal-Mart, it's pretty cheap. There may be doubters, but the proof is in the pudding, so to speak. It's hard to argue with the results. Good luck.

Zero coupon bonds are bonds which do not pay interest payment (also known as coupon payments). The bonds are purchased at a discount from what they will be worth when they mature. The holder of a zero coupon bond is entitled to receive a single payment, usually of a specified sum of money at a specified time in the future. Some zero coupon bonds are inflation indexed, and so the amount of money that will be paid to the bond holder is calculated to have a set amount of purchasing power rather than a set amount of money, but the majority of zero coupon bonds pay a set amount of money known as the face value of the bond.

is it true that the worth of a countrys currnecy depends on the amount of gold reserves it holds?

No -- most countries do not have a gold standard.  Currencies are mostly valued based on the amount a country exports -- and also comparing this to the amount that a country imports.\n\nSuppose that Japan suddenly created a new high-demand export.  Say, personal flying cars.  Then, people would want to buy those flying cars, and to do so, they would need Yen.  So all the american importers with dollar and european importers with euroes would go to the currency market to exchange their currency for yen so they could import the flying cars to sell in their own countries.  And the people selling Yen would see a great demand for their limited supply, and they would sell the yen to the highest bidder.  This would make the Yen cost more in terms of dollars or euroes, which is good for the yen's valuation (and all this had nothing to do with gold).\n\nLikewise, if Japan suddently wanted to importa a lot of stuff, they'd have to exchange their Yen for other currencies, and this desire to "sell" yen would cause Yen to lose value.\n\nSo overall, the more a country produces that other countries want to buy, the higher its currency is valued.  The more a country wants to buy stuff from other countries, the lower its currency is valued.

how can you enforce a verbal agreement about buying a house from someone who said they would finance it?

As usual with legal-related questions on Yahoo! answers, too little information has been provided to answer the question adequately.  If the verbal agreement was informal, made between friends or family members, or made in an otherwise unprofessional environment, it is likely uneforceable.  The state of residence, which was not provided, matters, as does the nature of the episode, and whether any consideration was offered in return.  Additionally, the statute of frauds may be implicated, which would REQUIRE a contract in writing before it can be enforceable, which is again unclear from the facts.  You should consult a lawyer with the specific facts from your case, or you should post a new question with explicit and careful detail.  I hope at least this much is helpful.


Can you get cold sores after you kiss someone?

Yes, Amanda, you can, only if the person you kissed has a cold sore, or is developing a cold sore. Just like how herpes can be passed from spouse to spouse, a cold sore can also be exchanged.

how could i get a credit  card with my not so good credit without having a high apr rating?

Some retail and gasoline credit cards are not revolving (do not carry a monthly balance) and sometimes are easier to obtain than regular cards. Over time they can help establish history. If you don't have a checking account, open one. You have very little credibility with lenders if you don't have at least a checking account and preferably a savings account as well. Just as importantly, be sure not to overdraw your bank account. Bouncing checks sends a signal to potential lenders that you can't manage your daily finances and are therefore not a good credit risk.

what's the best internet service provider out there?

Forget dial-up, you aren't going to get anything done.  Again this depends on your location so I will say you should go out and see what Cable internet providers are in your area.  Where I live we get Comcast high-speed 6Mbps and Comcast Cable together for about $95 per month, http://www.comcast.com/\n\nMy grandparents didn't want to pay that much so they got Verizon DSL 768kbps for $15 per month, http://www.verizon.com/ and it is fine for their needs, during regular browsing and most internet activities you don't notice the difference but downloads are slower.  If you are looking for value, basic DSL is probably the best.  If you are looking for speed check out Comcast or whatever cable provider happens to be in your area.

what does it mean when someone tells you to "mind your P's and Q's"?

It is an idiom intended to mean "be careful, pay attention to detail"  it has morphed, in recent times, to mean many other things including "be polite".\n\nThere are several theories about it's origin, but the one I believe makes the most sense is - mind your Pints and Quarts.  Meaning to keep track of what you order in a pup so you are not over charged.

In the U.S. we have the spanish language being forced on us.?

I don't think it's being forced on us, it's just that English is not being emphasized as the unifying factor that an "official" language should be. There's no real encouragement for Latinos to learn English anymore. Everything is readily translated for them. It's all given rise to a kind of entitlement mentality. Time was when many immigrants didn't want their children speaking the parent's language outside the home, if at all. They really had a different idea of what it meant to be an American and everyone was on the same page! Sad how times have changed. What was once a rich melting-pot of cultures has now become more of a stew with ingredients that just don't blend. Unfortunately, we've allowed it to get too far along to turn anything back now. Really sad.

Ajax stands for Asynchronous JavaScript and\nXML. It is a method by which user’s interaction with  any application happens independentaly of communication with the server. Ajax engine consisting of javascripts gets downloaded on to the browser when a user opens a web page and act as an go between the the server and the user's browser. Every user action that normally would generate an HTTP request takes the form of a JavaScript call to the Ajax engine instead. Any response to a user action that doesn’t require a trip back to the server — such as simple data validation, editing data in memory, and even some navigation — the engine handles on its own. If the engine needs something from the server in order to respond — if it’s submitting data for processing, loading additional interface code, or retrieving new data — the engine makes those requests asynchronously, usually using XML, without stalling a user’s interaction with the application.\n\najax is being used by google for its various services like Gmail,Google Suggest. You must have noticed in Gmail that when you type in the address box you get the address list as suggestions as soon as you type. This is through Ajax

Do you get tired of saying "Nice Shot" to the guys you play golf with?

I have a thought on this. I read your remarks and I have felt your pain with various people I've played with over the years. \n\nMy simple rule is this. I don't BS people, there are VERY FEW truly nice shots in a round of golf. Unless someone hits a really nice shot, I don't say anything. \n\nAnother thing on this, if someone tells you nice shot, thank them for it, don't just walk away all proud. If I take the time to tell someone they hit a good shot they darn well better acknowledge the fact that I noticed it and thank me! \n\nOther than that I think it's good etiquette to acknowledge a nice shot, but seriously, unless he steaked it to 3 feet or busted a wicked hooking three wood on the green from 260 yards, I don't say anything.


what is the significance of the elephant logo for the oakland A's?

After New York Giants manager John McGraw told reporters that Philadelphia manufacturer Benjamin Shibe, who owned the controlling interest in the new team, had a “white elephant on his hands," Mack defiantly adopted the white elephant as the team mascot, though over the years the elephant has appeared in several different colors (currently forest green). The A’s are sometimes, though infrequently, referred to as the Elephants or White Elephants.\n\nThe elephant was retired as team mascot in 1963 by then-owner Charles O. Finley in favor of a Missouri mule. In 1986, the elephant was restored as the symbol of the Athletics and currently adorns the left sleeve of home and road uniforms.

Are those times?  As in, one hour, 24 minutes, and 43 seconds?  In that case, I would say that 1:24:43 minus 1:22:05 is 0:02:38.  You come up with this answer by subtracting the first numbers (1-1), then the second numbers (24-22), and then the third numbers (43-05).  This way, you're subtracting hours from hours, minutes from minutes, and seconds from seconds - they have to match up.

What does the "squared" in E=MC2?  Energy=Mass x the Speed of Light Squared?

According to the lorentz transformation the space time coordinate of two inertial reference frame moving at a relative speed v along x axis is\nx'=(x-v*t)/L\ny'=y \nz'=z\nt'=(t-v*x/c^2)\nwhere L is lorentz factor=sqrt(1/(1-v^2/c^2));\n\nThe tricky thhing is this if any object moves faster than light the L of above equation will become imaginary.\nSo for an observer the proper time t' and the relativistic mass m=Lm0 becomes imaginary...\n Thus it cannot be faster than light.\nHowever theoritically there exist tachyon particles which moves in superluminal(faster than light)  velocity with imaginary proper time.\n But those crazy physix!!!

WHICH CAME FIRST THE CHICKEN OR THE EGG ?

The egg came first, from something that was close to, but not quite a chicken. What came out of the egg was a mutation, also known as the first chicken, or at least close to one. Since it was able to successfully breed, its mutated genes were passed on, and much later on, chickens were able to dominate, while their earlier ancestors became extinct...


what are corals ?&are there photos of it?what types of corals lived in cambrian to silurian?

You are looking for the Cnidaria corals I believe. In the early Paleozoic (cambrian to silurian) they diversified into tabulate corals, rugose corals, and heliolitid corals. All these forms were wiped out at the end of the Permian Period, in a mass extinction event that claimed something like 95% of all marine invertebrate species.\n\nDescriptions of these types of corals are linked in this page:\nhttp://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/cnidaria/cnidariafr.html\n\n\nTHis page may also be a big help to you:\nhttp://www.paleoportal.org/fossil_gallery/taxon.php?taxon_id=55


Why do objects in the distance move along with you in a traveling vehicle?

Of course notthing outside your vehicle is moving with you and it is an illusion.  Imagine that you are crossing  at the middle of a mile long straight street where all the telephone poles on your initial side are evenly spaced.  If you lean against a pole then walk across the 50 foot wide street it is obvious that you are now 50 feet from that pole.  It is much less obvious that you are exactly 50 feet in front of the farthest poles on either side half a mile away.  It is a matter of perspective.  As your vehicle moves, your motion past the nearest trees and bushes is very obvious and motion relative to distant objects is barely perceptible so they seem to move along with you.  Hope this helps.

Do you believe everything you read, hear and see? \n There are many deceptions in this world and the more charming someone is, it tends to follow that there lives are lived from one lie to another.\n I have never understood why people can allow themselves to be so down on themselves that these charlatans can give them soem reason to hope or whatever. \n"Surely nobody would be a charlatan who could afford to be sincere."   Emerson, Ralph Waldo

my gf is in another country now, she will be back in 5 years. what are the chances that she would cheat?

While many people believe bullies act tough in order to hide feelings of insecurity and self-loathing, in fact, bullies tend to be confident, with high self-esteem. They are generally physically aggressive, with pro-violence attitudes, and are typically hot-tempered, easily angered, and impulsive, with a low tolerance for frustration. Bullies have a strong need to dominate others and usually have little empathy for their targets. Male bullies are often physically bigger and stronger than their peers. Bullies tend to get in trouble more often, and to dislike and do more poorly in school than teens who do not bully others. They are also more likely to fight, drink, and smoke than their peers.\n\nTeens who come from homes where parents provide little emotional support for their children, fail to monitor their activities, or have little involvement in their lives, are at greater risk for engaging in bullying behavior. Parents' discipline styles are also related to bullying behavior: an extremely permissive or excessively harsh approach to discipline can increase the risk of teenage bullying.\n\nSurprisingly, bullies appear to have little difficulty in making friends. Their friends typically share their pro-violence attitudes and problem behaviors (such as drinking and smoking) and may be involved in bullying as well. These friends are often followers who do not initiate bullying, but participate in it.\n\nAs mentioned above, some teenagers not only bully others but are also the targets of bullies themselves. Like other bullies, they tend to do poorly in school and engage in a number of problem behaviors. They also tend to be socially isolated, with few friends and poor relationships with their classmates.

Could a person be fired for dating a co-worker?

I believe that can only happen if the company you're working for has written guidelines dictating the permissibility of such practices.  The best way to find out would be to check with management regarding company policies (most companies will have a written list they hand out to new employees regarding such matters).  If something like that isn't given out, then I would assume (from personal experience) that it's ok, but best kept discreet.  I've had several relationships that originated in the work place and never had repercussions from any of them.  Best to check with management though.

whats the difference between spanish people and mexican people?

Locations, for one thing. Mexico is at the bottom of North America whereas Spain is tagged along with Portugal and France.\n\nAlso, the Spaniards (although I don't know if this applies to this modern day) were considered Europeans – along with the English, the Dutch, the French, etc. What's more, and I’m pretty sure this does not really relate to the question, Mexicans are Catholics primarily because of the Spanish’s doing.


if our body is made up of metals e.g sodium ,why doesn't the body lit due to the excitation of electrons?

The body is made up of many metals such as sodium from salt (sodium chloride) and iron that carries oxygen in the blood (hemoglobin).\n\nThe body may in fact light up when the sun shines on it because sunlight contains all visible and invisible wavelengths.  But you would not see the body light due to the strong glare of the sun.  You would need a special light (like ultraviolet blacklight) under dark conditions.  The black light would enter the skin and excite electrons which would in turn give off charteristic colors depending on the metals present, including the molecules they are a part of at present.  The body may even phosphoresce under certain light wavelengths if the metal phosphorus (from bananas) is present, and of course it is!

What's the middle name of John J. Rambo?

Well, that is an answer that probably no one will ever truly know. The name John J. was added for the movie. In the novel written by David Morrell, the character only had the last name..Rambo. \n\nIn the authors words, " In my novel, the character had only the last name. Later, the scriptwriters for the movie gave him a first name "John", as in the song about a returning WWII veteran, "When Johnny Comes Marching Home". "\n\nSo, we can only guess that the J. may stand for James or something like that. Go to the link given for my source and go all the way to the bottom of the page..you'll see that information there.

how much ould gas cost to drive from wisconsin to north carolina?

What I always do when I'm about to go on a road trip is to get driving directions from the starting point to the destination (recommend Google maps or Yahoo maps). Below the "From" and "To" addresses it normally lists the mileage. For example, a trip from Milwaukee to Charlotte is 901 miles. Then you divide that number by your cars average MPG. I suggest overestimating a little (e.g. if my car's average mileage is 29 miles/gallon, I'd use 26 or so to be safe). Then you multiply that number by the average price/gallon you expect to pay (lets say about $2.50). To make my examples even more explicit:\n\n[total distance in miles (901 mi)] ÷ [car's MPG (26 mi/gal)] x [gas price per gallon ($2.50)]= [Total cost of gas ($86.64)]. \n\nHave a great trip!

Dose your landlord have a right to go into your home when your gone?????

It depends on a variety of circumstances, hopefully which are outlined in your lease.  For example, most landlords will give you at least 24 hour warning before showing your apartment or having somebody come to make repairs.  Whether you are home or not is not an issue.  If it is at a reasonable time and advance notice is given, they generally do have the right.

Do you mean PCI Express x1 slots?\n\nIf so, then PCI Express (PCIE), being the newest of the various PCI standards, is still new, even though it has been around for a couple years. Some of the first add-in cards developed for PCIE were high end graphics cards which could benifit from the higher bandwidth available to PCIE, but they typically use x16 slots (x16 has 16 times the bandwidth of x1).\n\nOther peripherals which are available on PCIE are higher end disk controllers, such as RAID5,6 controllers. Typcially these devices would only need x4 or x8, but x1 would be too slow. \n\nThere may be no demand today for x1 peripherals. Most motherboards today that support PCIE also have one or more PCI/PCIX slots and the low end peripherals which would only need a x1 PCIE are probably less expensive in a PCI version. On top of that most of the slow peripheral that used to go into PCI slots (serial I/O, printer I/O, dial up modems, ethernet) are built into the motherboard.

what happens in detail in "The Woman Who Cooked Her Husband" by Debbie Isitt?

Heres a short synopsis of the play:\nA bizarre and witty account of marital breakdown\nKenneth is a man with a weakness for fatty foods and skinny women. His mid-life crisis forces him to favour the latter, so he trades in Hilary - his stoic wife of twenty years - for the younger, prettier, slimmer (and more culinary-challenged) Laura. However, he quickly regrets his rash decision and finds himself torn between the delights of Laura's bedroom and Hilary's kitchen. The three eventually meet for a 'let's all be grown-ups' meal round at Hilary's, where Kenneth discovers he can no longer have his cake and eat it, as the women regain control... This play sounds bizarre and is, but it also says a lot about human weakness, loyalty, and the consequences of selfishness. It's also extremely funny, with such classic lines as "go and have deep throat sex and leave me here in my sparkling kitchen!"\n\nand a review:\nOn entering the theatre we were confronted with a setting which in it's Spartan simplicity suggested we were about to witness a Grecian Tragedy, which I suppose in a way we were. \n\nKenneth and Hilary were married for nineteen years. Nineteen years in which Hilary in her spick and span kitchen has prepared, cooked and served gargantuan meals for Kenneth who, to put it mildly, has a healthy appetite. \n\nThen Kenneth meets Laura who seems to represent all the things he thinks he has been missing. They embark on an affair, which quickly descends into a vortex of lies and deceit. Laura is young, sexy and finds Kenneth sexy. There are however a couple of problems – Laura is a bit of a slut and she is a hopeless cook. So Kenneth starts slipping back to Hilary for a little culinary consolation. \n\nWe first meet the three participants at Hilary's house to which she has invited Kenneth and Laura (now three years married) for an anniversary dinner. A dinner which Hilary with murderous and vengeful thoughts has prepared and is in the process of cooking very carefully indeed. \n\n  \nRay Newton & Loretta Freeman  \nSo a play about appetites or more correctly a play about hungry people. From the ageing Teddy Boy glutton Kenneth's constant cry of "I'm STARVING!!" through Hilary's loving, almost lascivious preparation of food and hunger for revenge to Laura who is on a diet anyway and so presumably always hungry not least for (as she elegantly phrases it) nookie. \n\nThere is pain and hurt here and sympathy is not confined to "The Wronged Wife". \n\nAs someone once said, "Every villain has his point of view" so Kenneth and Laura reveal during the progress of the play their own particular needs. \n\nThe play, delivered in a series of flashbacks stemming from the anniversary dinner at the beginning to the climactic last scene when Hilary serves the first course. "Mmmmm, fish for starters, fabulous! Fabulous!!!" Grunts Kenneth and proceeds to wolf not only his own portion but Laura's as well and inevitably starts to choke. \n\nThe play then veers into very black farce as the two budding Borgias from suburbia coolly watch as Kenneth writhes his last over the table and then calmly over a drink or two discuss the disposing of the body. Of course, HH \n\nHilary the cook has the answer! "Turn on the oven, 400 degrees F." she suggests, "We'll have to eat him, flush him down the loo".


why is christmas sometimes spelled like x-mas?

The X represents the Greek letter Chi, which looks like an X.  The New Testament was written in Greek and Chi is the first letter in the name Christ.\n\nThe -mas comes from the word "mass" for the Roman Catholic religious service.\n\nSo, Christmas referred to the Christ Mass that was said that day.

Contrary to the ignorant comments of others, Jehovah's Witnesses are NOT a cult. Those saying otherwise speak either out of plain ignorance or fear, or perhaps a combination of both. Jehovah's Witnesses base their faith solely on God's word the Bible. They don't follow the creeds and doctrines of men that dishonor God and pervert the clear teachings of the Bible, i.e. the teaching of the trinity, the teaching of a burning hellfire, the teaching of the immortality of the soul, and so forth. They preach from door to door in obedience to the command given by their leader, Jesus Christ, as stated in Matthew 28:19 - "Go, therefore, and make disciples of people fo all the nations...." \n\nJehovah's Witnesses spend over a billion hours each year worldwide teaching people the precious, life-saving truths from the Bible. They will use ANY Bible to show what God's word clearly states on a number of different topics. Their service is one motivated by (1) love for God and (2) love for neighbor. \n\nBible prophecy clearly shows that the problems common to mankind today are soon to be removed....permanently. Jehovah's Witnesses are active and zealous in sharing Bible truth with those searching for God and for a meaningful life in serving Him as he wants to be served. They study the Bible with people at no charge and would be more than happy to share the Bible's teachings with you. You can then decide for yourself whether you feel they have the truth or not. \n\nYou'll find that people who disagree with the Witness lifestyle are those who prefer to live their lives according to their own warped sense of direction and morality, rather than adhere to God's laws and moral standards as set in the Bible. To them, people who live by the Bible are "brainwashed". People who try and make light of their stand against celebrating birthdays or their non-acceptance of blood only speak out of a great deal of ignorance, and their reluctance to get their wrong view corrected just leaves them as bitter and ridiculous. \n\nIf you want to know how "right" they are, just take a few minutes to talk with them the next time they knock on your door. Have a discussion to let them know where you're coming from and where they base their beliefs. Ignore the comments of others in here who have no agenda but to dissuade you.

Why does'nt she love me - though i care about her in all sense?

No one can answer that except her. You need to sit and communicate your feelings to her and the expectations you have of your relationship. Maybe she feels the same way but there is something else going on in her life that you do not know about. Or maybe, she is no longer interested in you and is trying to find a way to end things without hurting your feelings. Either way, it is best that you both find out where you each stand.

How the issues on intelligent design and evolution can be solved?

By showing that they don't contradict each other. If the Universe with its physical laws are linked with an intelligent design, and the nature of laws allow evolution as a phenomenon to occur in a direction towards conscience, then the two theories can complement each other. Intelligent design and evolution can work together towards complexity.

are there lines connected to each country and each phone when one calls long distance? how?

This will be a simplistic answer since I don't work in the phone industry but this is what I know:\n\nFirst, we must assume that we are leaving the newer kinds of phone service out of the equation - I might touch on them later. Anyway, yes, in the traditional phone service setup, all phones are connected by lines & different areas are connected by cables that hold what we could term as super lines...basically a larger collection of lines to allow for more data flow back & forth. The phone service reaches your house through a line actually connected to your house above or below ground. In order to get there, it winds through your neighborhood & connects to a type of juncture box which houses all of the equipment for the area (these are normally short-ish green boxes on the side of the road or look like transformers at the top of telephone poles).\n\nAs for connecting countries themselves, there is/was (not sure if it is still in use but I think it is) something called the TransAtlantic Cable which originally carried the ability for telephone service overseas. Of course, when you make the jump to another continent, you then continue with the lines & cables either above or below ground.\n\nBack in the day, "Ma Bell" (nickname, can't think of the real name right now) & AT&T owned all the lines. At some point, this company was split up into what became known as the "baby Bells" which included, Southern Bell, Pacific Bell, etc. The other early player in the game & in our ability to communicate across the country & overseas, AT&T, is a company you are likely still familiar with today.\n\nI would suggest researching both "AT&T", "Ma Bell" & something like "history of telephone communications" online to get more information as the history of the worldwide telephone service is quite interesting. You'll be amazed at what folks accomplished when all of this was first set up; I certainly am when I look at where we were even when I was a child as opposed to where we are today.\n\nAs for my comment on the newer technologies, those would include broadband (or internet) telephone service - which carries the information over either the DSL or cable connected to your computer - & satellite telephone service. I can't say much to satellite as I've not researched it...


how do I win back my girlfriend when she broke up with me over my jealousy?

You may not be able to.  But you will definitly need to stop being so insecure in yourself and be confident in your partner- they want to be with you for a reason not someone else.  I havefound that jealousy is a sign not only of insecurity in yourself but a lack of respect in her character. If your girl cheats on you she cheats on you and you move on.  Not everyone is meant to be together forever.


I think the answer is, if they want him. The Evil Empire has only to speak the name of the player they want, Steinbrenner opens his wallet, and BAM! Instant pinstripes. Between their rich tradition and their near-limitless funds, few players turn down the offer. That's part of why people hate the Yankees.

Used as a nickname for a native or resident of Indiana.\n\nWord History: We know where Hoosiers come from: Indiana. But where does the name Hoosier come from? That is less easy to answer. The origins of Hoosier are rather obscure, but the most likely possibility is that the term is an alteration of hoozer, an English dialect word recorded in Cumberland, a former county of northwest England, in the late 19th century and used to refer to anything unusually large. The transition between hoozer and Hoosier is not clear. The first recorded instance of Hoosier meaning “Indiana resident” is dated 1826; however, it seems possible that senses of the word recorded later in the Dictionary of Americanisms, including “a big, burly, uncouth specimen or individual; a frontiersman, countryman, rustic,” reflect the kind of use this word had before it settled down in Indiana. As a nickname, Hoosier was but one of a variety of disparaging terms for the inhabitants of particular states arising in the early 19th century. Texans were called Beetheads, for example; Alabamans were Lizards; Nebraskans were Bug-eaters; South Carolinians were Weasels, and Pennsylvanians were Leatherheads. People in Missouri might have had it worst of allthey were called Pukes. Originally, these names were probably taken up by people living in neighboring states, but belittled residents adopted them in a spirit of defiant pride, much as American colonists turned the derisive term Yankee into a moniker for their spirit of rebellion. Today, most of these frontier nicknames have disappeared from the landscape. A few like Okie still exist with much of their original animus. Others survive as nicknames for the sports teams of state universitiesthe North Carolina Tarheels, the Ohio Buckeyes, and so onfighting words only on the playing field or court.

A common type of fractal dimension is the Hausdorff-Besicovich Dimension, but there are several different ways of computing fractal dimension.  \n\nRoughly, fractal dimension can be calculated by taking the limit of the quo-  \ntient of the log change in object size and the log change in measurement  \nscale, as the measurement scale approaches zero. The differences come in  \nwhat is exactly meant by "object size" and what is meant by "measurement scale" and how to get an average number out of many different parts of a  \ngeometrical object. Fractal dimensions quantify the static *geometry* of an object.  \n\nFor example, consider a straight line. Now blow up the line by a factor of two. The line is now twice as long as before. Log 2 / Log 2 = 1, corresponding to dimension 1. Consider a square. Now blow up the square by a factor of two. The square is now 4 times as large as before (i.e. 4 original squares can be placed on the original square). Log 4 / log 2 = 2, corresponding to dimension 2 for the square. Consider a snowflake curve formed by repeatedly replacing ___ with _/\_, where each of the 4 new lines is 1/3 the length of the old line. Blowing up the snowflake curve by a factor of 3 results in a snowflake curve 4 times as large (one of the old snowflake curves can be placed on each of the 4 segments _/\_).  \nLog 4 / log 3 = 1.261... Since the dimension 1.261 is larger than the  \ndimension 1 of the lines making up the curve, the snowflake curve is a fractal.


give me some examples of monosaccharides,polysaccharides and disaccharides...?

Monosaccharide- \n\nMonosaccharides have single carbohydrate unit. They can have three or more carbon atoms. Classified as triose, tetrose, pentose, hexose ........ based on their carbon number.\nTriose-Glyceraldehyde\nTetrose- Erythrose\nPentose- Ribose, Ribulose\nHexose-Glucose, Fructose, Galactose, Mannose\n\nDisaccharide-\n\nTwo disaccharide loses a molecule of water to condense and form a disaccharide. \nExample- Sucrose, Celobiose\n\nPolysaccharide-\n\nCondensation polymer of monosaccharide units.\nExmp- Amylose, Cellulose, Glycogen

How deep would a 2.4 GHz frequency penetratre through the flesh, skull and bones?

It passes right through.   \n\nThe friction of the waves passing through is why food gets hot in the microwave.  Cell Phones and Wi-Fi do not have much power behind them is why don't cook but if you stand right in front of a microwave communication tower emitter you will be one roasted dude.  The guy that invented the microwave oven had discovered the application while working on radar arrays for the military and a candy bar in his shirt pocket had suddenly melted while he was standing near the emitter.\n\nThe dad of a friend of mine got mad one day and decided to throw a microwave into the street.  It smashed the door but still worked when we plugged it back in.  Even with the door open !  It felt pin-prickly and unpleasant if you put your hand in while it was running--  Don't try this at home !!


Was Pearl Stachan Hurd an author or poet - living or dead?

I believe she was a poet, but she is most known for this quotation: "Handle them carefully, for words have more power than atom bombs."  \nThe only book of hers I know of is called "All in Black Flower and Other Poems", published in 1946.


What do you think about Boca Juniors Team ?


What do you think about Friendster.com's UI?

Friendster uses way too much space for advertising and doesn't have enough quick access to the things I'd like to see. I prefer the flash/java menu's that are used by sites like http://www.ChristianMingle.com


How do I get a wine stain out of a light pink blouse? Please help ASAP!!!!?

funnily enough, white wine gets red wine out. weird, eh?


there are 2 kinds Microburst and Macrobusts. They are both the same only the micro is weaker, the conditions for a microburst are the same for a tornado. Only air pressure comes down and hits the ground                                                                   and air is sort of sucked into the sky.......This happened in my hometown about a year ago, the roof on my school was lifted up about 1 foot and slammed back onto the school (just to give you a idea of the power of a MACroburst)


what are the mortgage rates for second mortgages?

They vary but are usually higher than the first. I'd say somewhere around 10% to 12% is a good ballpark. Of course credit history has something to do with this as well.


How much VA an UPS should have for a home PC?

Depends on how long you want the PC to run with the power off.  350VA will buy you about 5 minutes (with monitor, no printer), where 500VA will give you a little short of 10.  Obviously larger VA ratings will give you longer run times.\n\nMost of the run times I'm accustomed to are based upon CRT monitors.  LCD's will likely give you more time since they draw less current than CRT's.\n\nBTW:  DON'T attempt to run a laser printer off a UPS...the laster draws too much amperage for the UPS to handle and will likely trigger the UPS alarm as soon as it's turned on.  An inkjet will not have this problem, but, unless you're in the professional print business, don't connect your printer to it.
