help...i have a math test tommorow and i do not understand box plots (A.K.A box and whisker plots) ...?

the whisker on the left side is the lowest number in your set of data, and the one on the right side is the highest number. put the numbers in order from greatest to least and then you can find the boxes. if you have the numbers 12,10,52,1,26,9,45,13,38,36,and 8 for example, you would put them like: 1, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 26, 36, 38, 45, 52 then you find the median which is 13 and that is the line that you put in the middle of the graph. next you find the medians of all the numbers on the right of 13 which is 38. this number has a line on the right side of the middle. next you do the same thing for the numbers on the left which would be 9. put this on a number line and youre done!


What's the minimum age at which children in your country get admitted to primary schools or nursery schools?

It is actually not a country wide decision.  In the US each state governs its own education system.  However, you must be 5 years old to enroll in Kindergaten.  Kindergarten in my state is available, but not mandatory, through the public education system.  I believe they can enroll in the Headstart program which is gov't funded at the age of 3. Other institutions such as religious sponsored daycare sometimes designate different ages to begin their education process.

is anyone else here a big fan of the warriors, but greatly frustrated by this season?

Yes, the team was very dissapointing.  I mean, they have Baron and JRich and Murphy but they SOOO underachieved.  They should have at least made a push for a playoff spot.  Now there's talk of trading Murphy away to make room for Diogu.  That might be good in the long run but if you don't stick with a player and ship him off, what's the point of having them?  Bad bad bad


How many people died in New Orleans as a result of Katrina?

As of March 20th, the confirmed death toll was 1,604 people.  But, nearly 2,000 people remain unaccounted for.  If the death toll does not change, Katrina will be the fifth-deadliest hurricane in U.S. history.\n\nThe Chicago heat wave is not a comprable event, mainly because the death toll was lower (only 739), it was spread out over a five-day period (whereas most of Katrina's damage was done in 48 hours), and many of the deaths in Chicago were preventable (had the government responded more effectively after the initial deaths began).

Will Kaite Holmes and Angelina Jolie give birth on the same day?

Yes, and the press will eat their young like a tender veal.


No - it shouldn't be against the law. It's not so much that I think the law should support it, but when you think about it no one really has any business in interfering with such relationships. Legally, people should only be able to have one spouse, but living together with more than one spouse or partner, as long as you are doing no one any harm, shouldn't be illegal. I'm against it, but I also think law shouldn't prohibit anything, that doesn't do harm to anyone.


If there are three life changes we have in life, what are they, and what have they taugt you?

Stage I - Is being materialistic. Having a sense of being overwhelmed by lifes problems and sufferings.\n\nStage II - Liberation from outside self. Discovering hope and looking toward help from another source other than your own reason or knowledge.\n\nStage III - Liberation fron inside self. Being completely equip and discovering that one can face and solve the problem of suffering.\nThus finding the meaning of life.\n\nAs for myself, I am in merging out of Stage I. It has taught me that we need eachother. That it actually is easier and less stressful to NOT carry all the burden myself. That in giving up some of the power to control my life, I am finding it.

Whose the greatest guitarist of all time?

I hate to burst your rock bubble, but the greatest guitarist of all time is probably sat in front of his house playing away without a care in the world, not really giving a flying V who thinks he is the best or the worst for that matter. But if you want the greatest Rock Guitarist/Performer of all time most would say it has to be Jimi Hendrix...

What is the situation here? School, work, gym?\nIf it's the gym or school, then yes, probably she does like you. Work, maybe she does, but it could be friendliness or professional courtesy.\nA lot of times girls don't even know how beautiful they are, and so are very shy. Besides, maybe she thinks your hot, maybe you don't know how attractive you are. Everyone has their own idea of beauty, so don't assume she's out of your league. Smile back and see how she reacts. Then try talking to her. I know the last one is difficult, but try anyways. The worse that will happen is that she won't be interested. No biggie.\nIf this is a school situation and she's just being friendly, she doesn't sound likely to go tell her friends about you or make fun of you or anything. If she smiles at you, she's probably too nice for that petty crap.

Is prada worth what it charges or by paying what it charges its worth it?

Prada is like any other business in that it charges whatever the market will bear; in other words, if people want Prada so badly that they'll pay any price, then any price is the price they'll pay and that's the price Prada will charge.\n\n(Sounds rather like a demented tongue twister, doesn't it...)


how can any website generate revenue without any business?

The Web offers tremendous opportunities for those who know how to harness it. You hear of stories of people who earn thousands if not millions of dollars from doing business on Web. While there are many scams (same way in the traditional business world), there are various ways you can legitimately make money on the Web.\n\nHere are the main business models you can adopt:\n\n1. Sell products on the Web - Big boys like Amazon or Lillian Vernon online catalog or smaller businesses like BigKidsVideo.com or Candle4Less.com all sell products on the Web. \n\nYou can either sell: (a) through your own storefront through your own website or applications such as Yahoo Stores; or (b) sell through online auctions like eBay\n\n2. Information Delivery. Others such as About.com or BusinessKnowHow.com create content and monetize their content in a number of ways:\n\na. Advertising - whether by joining banner ad networks such as Tribal Fusion, BurstMedia or Fastclick and display the banners on their site; or through contextual advertising such as Google Adsense or Intellxt\n\nb. Affiliate Programs - you sell other people's products that your audience may be interested in; and you get a certain commission after the desired action was done (whether a sale, a lead, subscription to email newsletter, or however this is defined)\n\nc. Paid online content. Hoovers.com or WebmasterWorld.com Supporters forum all require paid subscription before accessing the information\n\nd. Content licensing and syndication. Some publishers such as the Associated Press get paid every time their content is published elsewhere

in you're opinion which R the most beautiful movie  stars female faces ever?

I think that Audrey Hepburn has the most naturally beautiful face in movie history. She personified class and style completely effortlessly. A director once said of her: you could put Audrey in a sack and she will still be classy.\n\nCatherine Zeta-Jones is another woman who is very elegantly beautiful. Liv Tyler has another defining face - a perfect mixture of broad cheekbones and full lips. A face to fall in love with.

My Mother-in-Law has had a permenant loss of smell for some years now.?

Unless the loss of smell is due to sinus issues or polyps, surgery will probably not improve the situation.  Your mother-in-law needs to see a doctor to find out why she has lost this sense and to see if surgery will help her.  Also, sometimes, loss of smell can be allergy related and treated very simply with medication.  The place to start is to find out why she lost her sense of smell.

how do i connect my 2 PCs to transfer data from 1 to another??

first of all, your two computers must connect together,can do it with cross cable or using routers,then you should set IP address for two computer.\n\nif your computers are a part of network, let the computer to   receive IP else;\n\nif your computer has Windows OS, after you connect two compute, click on the network shortcut , press properties and in the opened window, select TCP/IP setting and set your IP.you can set your to 192.168.0.1 or 1.1.1.1 or something like this because this IPs are assigned to local addresses.(do not forget that two computer must have same network mask but different IP)\n\nif your computer has Linux OS simply type netconfig in terminal and set the IP\n\nOK, your computers are now a part of a network.if two computers have Windows OS, share the file and User-Friendly interface of windows will help you to see the shared file from other computer.if you want to copy a file from windows to linux, you should use smbmount in linux like this:\n\nsmbmount //19.168.0.1/d$ /mnt -o username=MyName\n\n192.168.0.1 is windows IP(for example :p), d is the drive which your file is here and MyName is name of your account in windows\ntype this command and see /mnt folder :)\n\nif you want to share file between two linux os you have many choices for example , you can scp or ssh or use nfs\nmost simple way is scp, look at here:\n\nscp 192.168.0.1:/myFilePath/MyFile.ext /MyPath\n\nif you want to copy a file in linux to windows and you have access to windows computer, its hard a little and you should  download ssh programs like "putty.exe" and then connect to linux computer , ssh transfer is another application for this aim.\n\nand if you don't like this ways , you can simply transfer your hard disk in your hand :D

What are the top three problems in the Mormon Church today?

First of all, I am Mormon.  I think the top three problems are, in no particular order:\n\n- When members of our church often think they are better then non-members\n- When members of our church think they are better than other members\n- When non-members of the church think they are better than members\n\nI have browsed this great world wide web of ours and in additions to the great experiences one would hope to find from a church organisation, there is also much intolerance on all sides.

what is the chemistry reason why a paper clip will float on clean water but not soapy water?

this does in fact relate to surface tension.  But if we want to look at this a little further...water is held together by intermolecular forces with one of the strongest being hydrogen bonding.  This is the reason there are water drops.  When a paper clip is set on clean water the hydrogen bonding and other intermolecular forces are strong enough to keep the paperclip afloat.  When soap is added to the water it begins to weaken the intermolecular forces of the water molecule.  When the paper clip is placed on top it will sink to the bottom.  These same ideas work for the little water bugs "walking on water".

how can a pc  be safely overclocked without  crashing it?

When a processor is developed, the manufacturer tests it at increasingly faster clock speeds until it no longer passes tests that indicate it to be "reliable under normal operating conditions".  Often, this is more a limitation of normal heat disappation (sink and fan) than an actual physical limitation.  Over time the processor "family" progresses to higher speeds as the fabrication is refined, however they are still sold at the original clock speed for marketing and sales reasons even though it is capable of higher speeds.  This has been a common practice in the PC industry for a long time now.\n\nSafely overclocking includes several factors, one of the most important of which is proper heat disappation.  As clock speeds increase, so does heat.  Using "standard" cooling methods is insufficient.  The more overclocked, the more efficient the heat disappation must be.  Some rigs include refridgeration units to keep the CPU cool enough.  Too much heat = dead PC.\n\nSome folks overclock their memory and video cards as well.  Heat is another factor here just as it is with the CPU.\n\nAnother primary concern is clock speeds.  Some PC busses (high speed interconnects on the motherboard) must be running at the same clock speed of the CPU.  These must match correctly for the components(such as video and memory) to communicate properly with the FSB (front-side bus) and/or CPU.  Many motherboard manufacturers include features targeted primarily for overclockers to remove the guesswork, but some do not so this must be done "manually" by setting the BIOS properly.\n\nMemory latency is another issue that must be addressed by overclockers who want to squeeze the most performance out of their setups.  Having improperly configured CAS timings can negatively offset any CPU speed increase from overclocking and may even make the system unstable to the point where it crashes.\n\nIf you're new to overclocking I'd recommend a lot of research (and a few dollars worth of mistakes) before succeeding.  I used to overclock, and have several friends who still love to overclock just to have bragging rights.  Once overclocking moved into the world of custom cooling solutions I lost interest, but I still understand why folks do it.


how can i get my school's educational company recognized by people?

There isn't one "right" way to get a company recognized.  The best strategy depends on the company's products, their image and their target market.\n\nPicture yourself as a potential consumer of this company's product.  What are you like?  What do you do - for work and for fun?  What kind of things interest you?  What type of websites do you frequent?  Whose opinions do you value?  What could influence you to consume this product?\n\nThe answers to those questions could help lead you to where to market the company and what strategies to use when marketing for the company.

I LOVE TO WRITE! However, I have a problem with grammar, and even spelling sometimes. Can anyone help me?

If you don't mind me asking, how old are you, and if you're still at school, what level are you at?  (Just so I can get an idea of what would be most suitable) I teach English (in particular, grammar and writing) in Asia.  Many of the TESOL TESL and TEFL websites have great lessons, guides and quizzes to help you with grammar and spelling.  Although they are designed to teach kids whose English is a second language, it still helps clear up all of those tricky intracies of English Grammar.  Dave's ESL cafe is a good one, as are the links listed in the sources below.\n\nIf I have time, I could maybe proofread something for you and tell you how you are going.\n\nGood luck!\n\ne.xox8

how can i tell ex husband of 9yrs that kids want no more to do with him?

We really do not have enough information to answer this question. Is there abuse, neglect, or are they hearing things from each parent about the other? Sometimes in divorce, children say what they think they want the parent to hear, because they love them and want to make them happy.\nYou need to look closely at why your children are saying this. If it is because they are truly in danger or are being emotionally harmed while with their dad then, you don't have to say anything...........go through the courts.\nIf it is because they are just angry with Dad right now, then you need to talk to all of them about the importance of not avoiding conflicts. They need to approach it by using effective communication and compromise. Work it out and see if it gets better. \nIf they are saying it because they love you and think it is what you want to hear so that you feel better, then again you need to talk to them about the consequences that will occur if they never see Dad again.

if you are six feet tall, how far to the horizon can you see?

I assume you mean how far away is the horizon, which isn't quite what the wording of your question really asks.\n\nAnyway, it is a simple geometry question. Construct a triangle. One point is the center of the Earth, one point is at your eye and one point is at your horizon. The horizon is that place where your line of sight is tangent to the curved surface of the earth, which means that the angle between the line from your eye to the horizon and the line from the center of the Earth to the same point on the horizon is 90 degrees. So you have a right triangle. The hypotenuse is the line from your eye to the center of the Earth and it's length is the radius of the Earth plus your height. That length, squared, is the sum of the squares of the other two sides. One of those sides is the radius of the Earth and the other is the unknown distance to the horizon you are trying to find. Just do the algebra to solve for the third side, which is the distance to the horizon. I think it is about 20 kilometers for the average person.


How can one merge two species of bamboo to create a new variety?

Floral biology and breeding behavior were studied in the bamboo Dendrocalamus strictus Nees. The inflorescence in this species is a large branching panicle. Fertile florets are intermixed with smaller sterile ones. There are six stamens. The ovary is stipitate and turbinate. The style is long and the stigma is bifid and plumose. Dendrocalamus strictus is typically dichogamous and protogynous. The gynoecium matures 3-4 days before the androecium, effectively preventing self pollination. Flower bloom, which took place over a period of 2 to 3 h, was dependent on air temperature and only occurred between 0600 and 1300 h. Dendrocalamus strictus is anemophilous. Flowers in the male phase were visited by insects. These insects completely neglected the flowers at the female phase. The insects fed on the pollen and were not pollen vectors. When wind was excluded by enclosing the inflorescences in bags there was no seed set, indicating that cross pollination by wind is necessary for fertilization and that parthenocarpy and apomixis are not occurring in this species. Pollen fertility was about 98% as indicated by staining fresh pollen at the time of anther dehiscence and pollen release with Alexander's stain (Alexander 1969). When placed on a modified Brewbaker-Kwak medium containing 1% glucose, the pollen grains germinated well, and the pollen tubes grew to 15-20 times the diameter of mature pollen grains. Although profound protogyny has its disadvantages in times of sporadic flowering, it can be useful in breeding programs because it eliminates the need for emasculation.

Bush responsible for getting elected twice or is to the credit of his handlers & the pol. machine behind him?

It's not an either/or.  First, Bush chose his own advisors --some were friends long ago.   Then, he LISTENED to them.  He stayed "on message" during both campaigns, even when that was very difficult to do; others who should know better have failed to do that.\n\nIt's funny that you speak of "the political machine" -- sure, political organization is important.  But it isn't necessarily a "political machine" that does it.  Critical to Bush's victories, esp. the one in 2004, was the GRASS ROOTS support devoted to turning out the Bush voters.  The Democratic party put a lot of effort into getting a lot of workers, but many more of theirs were PAID, and did not/could not match the dogged efforts of tens of thousands of unpaid volunteers working for the Bush campaign.\n\nBut, just as 'handlers' alone could hardly do it, the volunteers alone could not pull it off.  Bush's OWN dogged campaigning was critical.  It may not be the smooth style some like, but it struck a lot of people as "real", down-to-earth straightalk (think of his grabbing the bullhorn at ground-zero and talking extemporaneously -- people resopnding very well to that). He connected with audiences, enjoyed himself... and people simply found it easier to TRUST him,esp. with key security issues (and esp. after his response to 9/11).  \n\n(In fact, one of the main criticisms conservatives have had for Bush SINCE his re-election is that he doesn't go out and campaign for his initiatives ENOUGH --vs. President Clinton who adopted the "constant campaign" strategy.  Even if you disagree with what Bush is trying to do, when he goes out and defends it in public, he does very well.)


which country will win the coming FIFA  world cup. please dont guess.?


Why don't the millions of us who want the illegals to go back hold a rally of our own?

Reactionary laws?  That's friggen hysterical.  It's already against the law to enter this country without going through the proper channels, hence the term (as un-PC as it is) ILLEGAL ALIEN.  \n\nNow, as far as counter protests and marches, we have several things going against us.  \n1. We don't have a close knit network to get the word out.  There's a website here and there but there's no coordination between sites.  \n2.  Concerns about being viewed as racist.  So what if the issue isn't about race?  So what if it's about people, regardless of color, who are INVADING our country?  The media and the Hispanic/Latino leadership in this country will try to smear ANYONE who organizes a widescale protest.  \n3.  Fear of being retaliated against.  \n4.  Lastly, I believe a lot of Americans feel overwhelmed by the enormity of the problem and frustrated that the American government isn't enforcing its own laws.\n\nI say we treat illegal aliens the way they treat them in their own countries.  For example, here are a few of Mexico's laws.\n\n"Only Mexicans by birth or naturalization and Mexican companies have the right to acquire ownership of lands, waters, and their appurtenances, or to obtain concessions for the exploitation of mines or of waters. The State may grant the same right to foreigners, provided they agree before the Ministry of Foreign Relations to consider themselves as nationals in respect to such property, and bind themselves not to invoke the protection of their governments in matters relating thereunto; under penalty, in case of noncompliance with this agreement, of forfeiture of the property acquired to the Nation. Under no circumstances may foreigners acquire direct ownership of lands or waters within a zone of one hundred kilometers along the frontiers and of fifty kilometers along the shores of the country." \n\nArticle 32: "Mexicans shall have priority over foreigners under equality of circumstances for all classes of concessions and for all employment, positions, or commissions of the Government in which the status of citizenship is not indispensable. In time of peace no foreigner can serve in the Army nor in the police or public security forces."\n\n Foreign-born, naturalized Mexican citizens may not become federal lawmakers (Article 55), cabinet secretaries (Article 91) or supreme court justices (Article 95). \n\nAccording to Article 33, "the Federal Executive shall have the exclusive power to compel any foreigner whose remaining he may deem inexpedient to abandon the national territory immediately and without the necessity of previous legal action."\n\nNon-citizens are forbidden to participate in demonstrations or express opinions in public about domestic politics.  Article 9 states, "only citizens of the Republic may do so to take part in the political affairs of the country."  Article 33 is unambiguous: "Foreigners may not in any way participate in the political affairs of the country."\n\n*In response to the answer below:\n\nIt's not a complex issue.\nThey ARE criminals.  They broke the laws of this nation by entering without going through the proper channels.  Many of them use stolen or forged identies and social security cards, which means they are breaking MORE laws.\nBusinesses do not need their labor.  Businesses need to stop undermining the foundation of this county and discontinue their law breaking activities.  Who the hell do you think did the work before the last 12 million illegals came here?  Do you think Americans would sit and starve if illegals didn't pick fruits and vegetables?  I guarantee you they would NOT starve.\nJefferson, Lincoln, and Roosevelt are spinning in their graves over the invasion of this country and the government's lack of action to stop the influx.\n\nTheodore Roosevelt Advocates Americanism, 1915\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------------

if your paycheck each week is $500.00,if you wan to save $2,000 in one year?

Assuming there are 52 bank weeks in the year, and you work all of them even through Holidays, then you would want to have your goal, 2000.00 divided by the number of deposits required to be made in a year ie...52, The answer is the expected amount of each deposit to total a $2000.00 deposit total at the end of the year! In this case it is 38.1653... Which means on Average, you would deposit 38 dollars and 17 cents.  Keep in mind the more you deposit each time, the more you will have saved!

I am still looking for ideas on how to make a map model of Jamaica?

How long does it take for a sprained ankle to heal?

It takes 10 to 12 days to completely heal.  It will never be the same again.  The sprained part will always be more vulnerable to being injured, sprained again.  You have to always be conscious of this and warm up and stretch.  You won't listen to me because I bet you're still a teenager and warming up and stretching is too dorky for you still.  When you're older and after a few more sprains you'll know what I'm talking about.

Aerobics vs. weight training.  Which should I do first?

My trainer set me up with weight-training three times a week and cardio two times a week.  She suggested alternating them and not doing them all at one time.  If it's possible, maybe you should try to go 4-5x a week, spread out your activites.  I also alternate what part to work out first each time I weight-train.  I'll start upper one time, lower the next.


why did the bronze findings in the caves where the jews hid have a roman sea symbol on it?

Because the Romans conquered Judea and took it from the Greeks. Many Romans settled there and brought their household goods with them. Lots of Jewish merchants traded with Roman merchants and inevitably some of those goods ended up in Jewish hands. When they went into hiding, they brought their goods with them. And there they lay, waiting for an archaeologist to dig them up.


what actually  happens when a person dies.?

Its either they'll go to Heaven or Hell in a form of soul with the likeness of human body. Please see the links below (sources) to guide you more in this area.\n\nHell\n\nWhy does Hell exist?\n\nThe place Hell is where God cast Lucifer and his legions after rebelling against Him. Lucifer was an archangel with, like others, a free will which he abused and assumed himself higher and mightier that God. Some other angels believe Lucifer, which made God angry so God casts all of these abomination to the place called Hell.\n\nWhy does wicked / unsaved souls leads to Hell?\n\nSince Lucifer or Satan has no power over God, he lured His creations with His likeness (human) to his realm by tricking us, first Adam and Eve, then down to us.\n\nHow can we be saved?\n\nThis is the very reason why the Son of God came to earth to save our soul and pay for our sins. For God loves us so much and He doesn't want any of us to go to such a place. In order to be saved, we should accept Jesus Christ as our Savior, and that we should accept His love and forgiveness, that he died for our sins. On the Judgment day, the Hell itself will be cast to the Lake of Fire, which will be the second death.\n\nWhere is the Hell?\n\nHell is located at the center of the earth. Which forms like a lying silhouette of a human, with head, torso and limb-like dwellings.\n\nHow is it like to be in Hell?\n\nFirst of all, as souls (you after death), we still have all the senses we used to have in our body, only much much keener. And since you're from earth, you even have the feeling that you have flesh (burning sensation, thirst, hunger), only that you wouldn't die the second time.\n\nWhen your soul is at Hell, you don't have strength at all to save yourself. \n\nDEMONS\nHell is full of demons which looks like a very deformed humanoid of up to 12-13 ft tall. Their limbs are like one is longer and the other one is shorter. Some have big heads, others are small. Some has longer torso, others have longer legs, and so on...\nDemons are ignorant, all they know is hatred to humankind (souls). Which resembles God's likeness. They are unimaginably strong. They don't have mercy, so whenever they see a soul, what they do best is to tear it apart in agony (senses are keener, remember?)\n\nStench\nThe stench in Hell is like all of the bad odors combined (rotten eggs or foods, decaying carcasses, feces, sulphur, etc.) multiplied by 1000. It is terrible, very very horrendous, and to think that our senses are much much keener. If a body went to Hell, it would've died. But no body can go there except for soul, which cannot die. The stench alone will make you long for death, but death will not come for you are already dead.\n\nDarkness and sounds\nHell has a very very pitch black surrounding. None can be seen on earth of such a dark place. There was a blackness that you couldn't even imagine. All you'll hear from hell is the sound of screaming, billions of people screaming in that place. A scream of anguish, torture, very loud ang penetrating. You can't get away from that screams, you'll have to endure it forever 'cause there's no way out from Hell. No hope, no salvation, non-ceasing.\n\nFear in Hell\nOn surroundings alone you'll feel fear, from the sound and smell and darkness. But Hell alone without what mentioned above can make you feel fear. It grips you. Its like seeing a very scary movie at its climax then take that and multiply it to a thousand and hold it there, that is how you stay all the time! This is another thing that you'll endure forever in Hell. For there's no escape.\n\nHeat\nThe heat was so intense, it could kill your body a mile away but you don't die in Hell. The fire in there is your only but terrible light. It's too hot but at the same time its too dim. Not enough to decrease the darkness around.\n\n\nThere's no rest, no hope, and all fear, eternal torture, and shame in Hell. Not even a fool

Do people use dishwashers in an office environment?

Yes you should.  Our office of approximately 30 uses ours daily.  Coffee cups go in at night and we run it either last thing at night or first thing in the morning.  Sterilizing personal coffee cups should cut down on illnesses within the office, leading to increased productivity and eventually a listing on the Fortune 500!


What is America??? Is a Continent of is just the United States of America?

The term "America" is not the formally correct name for anything in particular.  You're right: the name comes from Amerigo Vespucci.  If I remember correctly some French guy started calling the western hemisphere America, after that Vespucci dude's name, and it caught on.  An alternative name for the western hemisphere is "Columbia," as in Washington, District of Columbia or the South American country called by the Spanish version of the name "Colombia."  I guess somewhere along the line people started shortening the name United States of America to simply America.  Then that caught on.  I don't know why those people didn't just shorten it to USA.  Anyhow, I think when most people these days say "America" what they mean is USA.  Of course the case could be different in a few hundred years.  It's funny how language evolves, huh?

what does a teacher need to do the day or week before the 1st day of kindergarten or preschool?

I don't teach the small kids, but I think that there are some things that all teachers need to do before the kids come in:\n\n1.  Make sure your room is set up with the appropriate materials, posters, decorations....  Every grade requires that certain things are posted.  You may have to have a calendar posted with the days of the week spelled out and the seasons posted on it for little ones.  You may need the basic colors posted, the alphabet....\n\n2.  Make sure that you have a week and a half worth of lessons planned.  Teachers have to overplan at all times.\n\n3.  Call the parents to introduce yourself.\n\n4.  Prepare a letter to the parents.\n\n5.  Prepare a syllabus and rule list for your parents to read and sign.\n\nI hope this helps a bit!

I need my 8 ball ( Pool,snooker) business to grow, what ideas ,special or promotion can i do?

so many options....contests....drink specials...invite speed dating groups to use your facility (paying you of course), promote with purpose, try to arrange advertising with local bars (that don't have pool tables, so you wouldn't be in competition with them), advertise on roads (billboards). What area do you live in? Industrial, with a lot of people working in factories who get off the job and go have beers?  Put billboard signs up on highways leading from the industrial areas to the housing areas.  Talk to marketing and advertising companies, they know all this stuff.  Figure out what demographic is most likely to patron your establishment and advertise to THEM.


which county has longest costal line in terms of miles?

Canada's coastline is the world's longest at 243,792 km or 151,485 miles (including the coastline of the country's 52,455 islands.)


Correct, Verizon Wireless is a partner with Vodafone.  It's an interesting relationship.  Currently, Verizon Wireless could possibly stand on their own, seeing as they are an American giant and they use a different digital technology (CDMA).  Believe it or not, Verizon Wireless was not always Verizon Wireless.  It once comprised of separate and individual cell phone carriers: Bell Atlantic Mobile, Airtouch, GTE Wireless, and Primeco.  Thanks to the Vodafone connection there have been some fantastic developments such as international text messaging (SMS).  You can check out the website for more info.

Where did the drug 'percocet' come from? How was it made?

Percocet is oxycodone with acetaminophen (Tylenol) which is a very powerful and potentially addictive opioid analgesic medication synthesized from thebaine.\n\nOxycodone is one of the most powerful medications for pain control that can be taken orally. Percocet tablets (oxycodone with acetaminophen) are routinely prescribed for post-operative pain control. Oxycodone is also used in treatment of moderate to severe chronic pain. When used at recommended doses for relatively short periods (several weeks), it provides effective pain control with manageable side effects.

Is there a way to have regular period without using birth control?

Best I know of is to use the Pill. My periods without it are all over the place (I'm almost 32). Many thing affect how regular, or unregular your periods are, such as stress, diet, etc. I take a birth control pill that is LOW estrogen or progeterone only, I forget exactly (it's generic name is Errin), since I want as little "extra" in my body as possible. It' releases just enough without getting me all moody or anything. Asy your gyno...he/ she can be lots of help. BTW, mine is a female gyno, and I swear by her, because not only is she a doctor, but she's also a woman who can offer real life experiences, not just a man reading out of a medical textbook. Hope this helps some. :)

What will happen If there is no OIL in the world from tomorrow?

I'm a Petroleum Engineer, and about the closest thing you'll find to an expert on this subject, other than "The Expert," whomever the media says that is next.\n\nThere will never be "no oil" in your lifetime. You may not be able to afford it, but they cannot run out. \n\nNow that oil is $70/bbl, it opens the door to production of different grades of oil and different kinds of oil. \n\nAmerica has the biggest "Shale Oil" field in the world, at over a trillion barrels, that has never been tapped because it will be expensive to extract, and the technology has not yet been improved enough to tackle it. But money solves all of these prices, and $100/bbl oil would certainly do it. You will have to be surprised how fast the technology will ramp up when there's a profit to be made.\n\nAnother example is the "Coal Oil" sands in Canada that they are already extracting by truck and converting to usable oil. It's slower to extract and convert than to simply produce liquid oil, but the one field they are producing from today is bigger than the Saudi field, which is the biggest in the world. And that isn't the only "Coal Oil" field in Canada, and certainly not the only one in the world.\n\nMost people don't realize that we only produce about 20% of the oil from a producing oil sand, and leave the rest of it there because it was too expensive to produce by secondary or tertiary recovery methods. That is no longer true, so the natural oil reserves just doubled when the price of oil doubled.\n\nGovernments are good at creating crisis after crisis, so that they can be your friend and be the only one to solve the problem, that is, by taking control, taking your rights, enacting more laws, forming more committees out of their cousins, and generally living like Kings off of years of perceived crisis. Oh yeah, and they can take over whole countries if they need to and the gullible public is behind them on an invasion, and they can get enough young people to fight their special-interest wars for them.\n\nWhen I was in college in the 1970's, the known problem of that time was that temperatures were getting "colder." By the year 2030, it would be so cold that plants could not live and man would face extinction without drastically chaging things. That was to be in my lifetime.\n\nBut now the "experts" claim "Global Warming." It's all just a theory, like Evolution, but after so many "experts" parrot the "truth" in the media, and even colleges and universities begin teaching it as truth, then it becomes "truth,' even when at best it's a 50-50 shot. Why make a crisis out of something? There's money to be made, control to be taken, and new gov't offices to fill.

who are the freemasons and what do they do?

Freemasons are members of a Fraternal Organization founded on the principals of The Fatherhood of God (whatever you perceive him to be) the Brotherhood of Man and the Immortality of Man ... we believe in Faith Hope and Charity and are the driving force behind the Shrine and Scottish Rite Childrens Hospitals ... There are a number of appendant bodies (like the Shriners and Scottish Rite and York Rite) that extend from Freemasonry but you must be a Freemason before you may continue in the other bodies.


This concept have bothered me as well, but the truth is there is no eternal condemnation.\n\n(edit)\nI have done some research on this subject and have come to the conclusion that well...Judaism(ask any Jew) do not believe in hell, and they do not believe that a none Jew will not be saved. Why would Jesus be called a saviour if he brought more suffering to the world(hell)?  Jesus died for all to be saved! Not one soul will perish. Jesus died so that all will live an eternal life with "love", with "God".\n\nThis is my belief and some other Gnostics too, but it comes from above. Many followers of "Satan" will scare you with hell and try steal "love" from you, but remember always: God is love and who ever dwells in love dwells in God and God in them.\n\nSo many of the "christians" believe in mythology rather than in God. Did any great prophet know literature? No, they knew God. Where is God?\n\nLuke 17:20-21\nJesus replied, "The kingdom of God does not come with your careful observation, nor will people say, 'Here it is,' or 'There it is,' because the kingdom of God is within you."\n\n\n\n\nThe crucifixion was but a physical representation of what was happening spirituality.

I have to write an essay about this quote by Pope John Paul II for my Bible studies course, any thoughts on it

It's a statement of encouragement.  He's saying that if something is in your way, you shouldn't let it get the best of you.  Obstacles exist to overcome them and find ways around them.  Obstacles give a person something to struggle over, and when they come out on the other side or break down those obstacles, that person is stronger for it.  If you surrender to an obstacle, you can't go any further.  To surrender to an obstacle is to give up on where you are going and to pass down an opportunity to struggle through a hard situation and better yourself.  Biblically speaking, God sometimes allows us to go through hardships because He knows it will make us stronger on the other side of the obstacle.  There are plenty examples of this with Job, King David, and all of the apostles to name a few.  Good luck with your essay!


Can you tell me why you do not believe in "God" without referring to the Bible?

Well simply, if you don't go by the bible (or other religious texts), then there is nothing to tell me there is a god.\n\nTherefore there is nothing to believe or disbelieve anything about a god, because without the bible pushing his existence, i have nothing to suggest he existed.  It is a non-issue/problem.\n\nThat aside: Here are the main reasons why I don't believe \nin god\n\nEvolution (including evidence of unintelligent design)\nBig Bang Theory\nHistory of Religions (diversity of opinion, and change)\nEvidence (or lack of) supporting Religions\nOther Animals\nMoral contradictions in some religious teaching.\nHow Impersonal Nature Is! (Think 'evil' in nature, natural disasters, etc, why make a world that threatens to kill it's population from a multitude of different ways)\n\nLook up parasitoids or even the more commonly known parasites! What is god's will for them! To be a burden? To kill the host?

Who will be the 2006 FIFA World Cup Champion and why?

i think brazil will.. soccer is their thing.. they can shake, they can move, and they fly with that ball.. they work as a team, they use good tactics, they dont get frustrated. \n\nYet, i think Germany has a good shot at it too but not as good.. \n\nand then again.. brazil right now has the top players of the world.. All the top european teams today, their key players are from brazil.. from gollie, to middle man, to right/left fowards... and then when u put all them together.. it just becomes a fun game for them.. and then once again.. soccer is who they are, not who they wanna be. They are just Brazilians... and so am I!! lol

What's wrong with the death penalty for people that are undeniably guilty of murder, etc?

To ponder:\nIF killing is wrong, we should always set the example, even with people who have violated this basic principle.  It will strengthen that rule.  Maybe not today, not tomorrow, but eventually.\n\nUS is the only country at our level of social development that has the death penalty (as oppposed to Iraq, Saudi Arabia, China, Thailand)\n\nOften, executing an unremorseful killer will make him believe he is a mayrter to his misguided actions.\n\nIt costs more to execute a criminal than to keep him in jail for the rest of his life.\n\nThe application of the death penalty in today's justice system is a crap shoot, at best (Sentenced to death rarely correlates to those most deserving of it, and being spared rarely translates into being less culpable)\n\nJust a few things to ponder, why it might be worth it to get rid of the whole messy business!

does a natural resource map have all the natural resources on there?

Usually a natural resource map does NOT have all of the natural resorces because the people who created it must have overlooked it or some other logical reason. Also, to find a  natural resource map of Morocco, type in RESOURCES OF MOROCCO on images on google.com. Don't use yahoo, just google. You can also searck on ask jeeves.

what is the sudoku game amd where is it's original?

History of Sudoku and Killer Sudoku Variations \n\nAll of us, by now should have heard of SuDoku... if you haven't, you must have been living in a box. Or maybe it is the other way around, those of us that are hooked on SuDoku are now living in a box (in the form of a 9x9 grid).\n\nAnyway, if you have always wondered about how this little number puzzle came about, it actually first appeared in the U.S. in the May 1979 issue of Dell Pencil Puzzles & Word Games where it was called Number Place. It is believed to be the creation of a retired architect named Howard Garns, age 74 at the time.\n\nSeveral years later, in 1984 it was adopted by a puzzle group in Japan and named "Suuji Wa Dokushin Ni Kagiru" ("the numbers must be single") As it became popular, this was shortened to SuDoku (Su=number, Doku=single) and was trademarked.\n\nOther magazines in Japan, soon copied the puzzle but went with the more generic name Nanbaapureesu (phonetically "Number Place") and often just used the English spelling. Later when it was rediscoved in the U.S. and the U.K. it was titled "SuDoku" which leads to an interesting scenario. Japanese speakers call it by its English name (Number Place) and English speakers call it by its Japanese name (SuDoku).\n\nIf you are interested in reading more of the historical details or learning about numerous sudoku variations (including Killer SuDoku a.k.a. Samunamupure or Samunanpure, Greater Than SuDoku, Samurai SuDoku, Relay SuDoku, etc.) there are a couple links below.


Take a look at commuter/fitness bikes. These are generally relatively inexpensive bikes which are a hybrid between mountain and road bikes. They're designed to be comfortable. I use an older Specialized Sport, and I ride to work most all summer. You may be able to get one used if you don't want to spend a lot of money.\n\nAlso, get a good set of lights (front and back) and reflector. Even if you don't intend to be riding after dark, you really don't want to be stuck without it. You want cars to be able to see you. You may also want to look at getting a rack and some pannier bags to tie your stuff to your bike instead of wearing a backpack. I have a nice padded bike bag for my laptop.

I am trying to transfer info from one computer to another. Is that what a thumb/flash/pen drive allows?

Yes, those items are useful for doing the task you are performing (and they are all the same thing, simply named differently).  The price will vary depending on location (I would check websites of nearby computer stores to check for sales, since those items are often on sale).  The size is dependant upon what you are transfering.  If you want to transfer a large amount of data, or large items (such as movies or songs), then you might want to get a 1 GB or larger drive.  If you are only transferring some documents, a smaller one will suffice.

whats a good way to get someone who let your son die?

Forgiveness.\n\nWhat comes around, goes around and God DOES serve justice to those who hurt others.\n\nOne of my best friends died because the people who were with her did not get her help because they were afraid of getting in trouble as well.  It is something that I've struggled with for years.  The only thing you can really do is accept the reality of the situation and put God in control of your emotions.\n\nLetting go of hate is hard, and believe me, revenge seems like the best way to make those feelings go away.  Unfortunately, there's nothing you can possibly do that could hurt the person as much as they've hurt you.  Just take solace in the fact that this person has to live with the guilt of allowing someone to die because they were too scared about their own well-being than to help them.

What does a Muslim believe he has to do to be in the best possible relationship with God?

"It is not righteousness that you turn your faces Towards east or West; but it is righteousness- to believe in Allah and the Last Day, and the Angels, and the Book, and the Messengers; to spend of your substance, out of love for Him, for your kin, for orphans, for the needy, for the wayfarer, for those who ask, and for the ransom of slaves; to be steadfast in prayer, and practice regular charity; to fulfil the contracts which you have made; and to be firm and patient, in pain (or suffering) and adversity, and throughout all periods of panic. Such are the people of truth, the Allah-fearing. "   Quran 2:177.

Skins are what the skins game is played for. A skins game pits players in a type of match play in which each hole has a set value (usually in money or points). The player who wins the hole is said to win the "skin," and whatever that skin is worth. Skins games are often more dramatic than standard match play because holes are not halved. When players tie on a given hole, the value of that hole is carried over and added to the value of the following hole. The more ties, the greater the value of the skin and the bigger the eventual payoff. For example, a friendly skins game might be played for $1 per hole. If three holes in a row are played without a winner, then the fourth hole is worth $4 ($1 for its own value, plus a dollar for each hole that carries over).


Why did Atlantic Canada's Cod Fishing Industry close?

On July 2, 1992, Canada's fisheries minister banned fishing for cod off the northeast coast of Newfoundland and off the southern half of Labrador. The northern cod stock, once one of the richest in the world, had collapsed.\n\nThe moratorium on northern cod marked the beginning of an unprecedented disaster for virtually all of Canada's Atlantic groundfisheries the fisheries for species that feed near the ocean floor. Nineteen-ninety-three saw dramatic reductions in the allowable catches of cod in the northern part of the Gulf of St. Lawrence and the closure of the cod fisheries off Newfoundland's south coast, Nova Scotia's east coast, and in the southern Gulf of St. Lawrence. With the following years came further reductions and new moratoria, not only on cod but also on redfish (ocean perch), white hake, American plaice, turbot (Greenland halibut), and witch flounder.\n\nDespite the fishing bans, many stocks continued to decline, setting new historical lows year after year. Cod populations dropped to one one hundredth of their former sizes. In 1997, fishing for twenty-two stocks remained prohibited; most other groundfish stocks supported only severely limited fishing (Canada 1997, 79-82). In 1998, the Fisheries Resource Conservation Council, responsible for advising the fisheries minister on catch levels, expressed "surprise," "alarm," and "dismay" over the status of several stocks and projected further declines, even in the absence of any fishery (FRCC 1998b, 5-12). The council warned, "the outlook as described by scientists is even more bleak than at the beginning of the moratorium" (FRCC 1998a, 5). Some scientists worried that the worst hit stocks might never fully recover.\n\nThe collapse of the Atlantic groundfish was more than an ecological disaster: It was also an economic disaster. Groundfish landings in the 1980s had an average landed value of $345 million and a processed value of considerably more.\n\nAccording to Gus Etchegary, former chairman of the Fisheries Council of Canada and former president of Newfoundland's largest fishing and processing company, if catches off Newfoundland and Labrador had not declined in the previous twenty-five years, by 1997 they would have had an annual export value of $3 billion\n\nishery closures, throwing 40,000 fishermen and fish processors out of work, created social and economic chaos throughout Atlantic Canada, where half of the region's 1,300 fishing communities depend entirely on the fisheries for their existence (Auditor 1997, 14-9). In the words of Earle McCurdy, president of the Fish, Food, and Allied Workers union, "What we have is not an adjustment problem, but the most wrenching societal upheaval since the Great Depression. Our communities are in crisis. The people of the fishery are in turmoil" (Harris 1998, i).\n\nThe moratoria hit Newfoundland especially hard. The province has always depended on cod fishing. Cod inspired its first settlements, posts where English merchants salted and dried cod before shipping it to Europe. For centuries, fishing was Newfoundland's only major industry; it has remained the province's most important primary industry. Many communities have known nothing but fishing and fish processing. And many are prepared for nothing else: 83 percent of the province's fishermen have not graduated from secondary school, and more than a third have not attended any secondary school at all (Auditor 1997, 14-10). Former fisheries minister John Crosbie described Newfoundland's special relationship with cod:\n\n    Through the centuries, the northern cod was the economic foundation for the settlement and growth of communities along the east coast of Newfoundland and the coast of Labrador. Without the abundant fish stocks, there would have been no Newfoundland as a British colony, a British dominion, or, after 1949, a province of Canada. . . . Cod was the reason why Newfou

What is the best way to persuade somebody to do something?

Assertiveness usually works best.  'Assertiveness' refers to the ability to state your position without denying that of another.  One way an assertive person might make a request is to confidently approach the other person to make the request, and to be prepared to explain the matter in win-win terms.  If you approach someone respectfully and offer a win-win situation, that person may be more likely to grant your request.  This does not guarantee you will get what you want, but it can improve the odds in your favor.  You may have to be prepared to negotiate, but as long as you're striving for a mutually beneficial solution, then that in itself could give you the persuasive edge.

Why are so many young adults and women in the US so proccupied with their looks ?

Too much reliance on media/television for child-minding so that parents have time to be selfish and pre-occupied with everything other than proper child-rearing.  Children learn to behave the same way as the people they see in the movies/cartoons/advertisements, etc.  Superficial.  Then they go on and have kids, continue the cycle... rubbish child-rearing, not enough time being spent on teaching substantial values.  Plus, loving thy neighbor doesn't sell lipstick, does it?

A friend has developed insomnia and wants to stop her medicine, any suggestion for other treatment?

I went through a similar cycle with no help from anywhere.  Drugs left me zonked the next day too.  Eventually I found relief through my own little techniques.  Stress doesn't help mind you.  She has to find a pattern that suits her.  The trick is that when your head hits the pillow it can't say "OK go to sleep, go to sleep this time".  The n the cycle has already begun.  I drink a warm malted milk and then always force my imagination to go somewhere.  For me the start is always very science fiction, but that is just me.  Before you know it the mind can wonder on its own and zzzzzzzz.....  Just advise mind you, insomnia is different for everyone and there are different types.  The other main variety is waking up 3 hours into sleep and then being stuck awake.

For Believers Only:  Have you read the Book of Judas text yet and what did you think?

I watched the special on National Geographic. Have they made the text available to read anywhere?\n\nBased on the information that was given on the National Geographic premiere...I firmly believe that Jesus chose Judas to sacrifice him. Someone had to do it and he wanted Judas to be the one. The thing that gets me is that when Jesus tells Judas that he will be known as deceitful person for many, many years but in the END, the truth will be known. Wow, that means we know now....does that mean that we are really close to the end?\n\nI would love to look at it more in depth when they release it; if you know anywhere it has been published, please let me know.


I have wondered this myself and have come up with a couple of answers. I think the major reason for people watching is curiosity and just to see who has potential to go on further with their career - and who's going to get canned or not go anywhere. I also believe that there are people out there who watch the games who played in H.S. and are living vicariously through the players. It's almost like watching a street game, though - except for the (over) coaching, of course.

does anyone out there know how long the movie stick it is?


yes it's true.  My Uncle's Mother in law died from a curable disease, because her religion forbade her from using medicine or doctors.  Christian Scientists believe that if you are supposed to be healed, he will heal you directly, rather than using someone elses talent and knowledge to heal you.\n\nTo Christian Scientists:  Why do you think God gave the doctors the ability to do what they do?  Maybe you have heard this anecdote, and it describes the Christian Scientist perfectly:\n\nA man lived in a house on a flood plain.  When spring came, and rain fell, the water began to rise, a police officer came to his house urged him to come with him, because the water would rise to a dangerous level.  The man said "Don't worry, God will save me if he loves me."  and the officer left.  Pretty soon, the water was to roof level on the man's house.  A rescue boat came by and tried to rescue the man from his roof.  The man said "Leave me alone! If God wants me to live, he'll save me!"  So the boat reluctantly trolled away.  Not long after, the water was well over the level of the roof, and the man was desparately treading water.  A rescue helicopter above lowered a rescue diver.  The man said to the diver "Go on without me, if God wants me to live, he'll save me."  Reluctantly, the diver returned to the helicopter.  It wasn't long after this, the man drowned.  When he got to heaven, he asked God "why didn't you save me?  I waited, and I waited."  God looked at him in disbelief and said, "What?! Why didn't you go with that officer I sent, or that rescue boat, or that helicopter?\n\nThe moral here?  God puts us all on earth with talent to use in order to better serve him.  Doctors and scientists find cures for diseases and sickness by using their God-given talents, so using cures and treatments is acknowledging God's vast wisdom and how he gave these talents to doctors and scientists.

At one point in time if you asked me this question i would have said you aren't wrong, but after some life experiance i have to say now you are. I was very hurt and lost when my parents got divorced, my mother started dating her old high school sweetheart almost immediately, i was moved not only from the home i knew, but also from the state i'd lived in all my life. I was rude and hurtful to this man and in the long run he abandoned my mother. Now 13 years later, i often look back and wonder if it weren't for my actions would he still have left her? Even though we all want our parents to be together, sometimes it just isn't possible for two people to be together and be happy. No matter what both your mom and dad have the right to be happy, and if this new man in your mom's life makes her happy, then you should at least respect him for making a positive change in your mother's life. You don't have to like him, but think of how he feels in this situation. He is just trying to be with your mom and be happy, he isn't trying to replace your father, i hope, and if anything he just wants to be accepted as is. i also married a man who had been married once before with two children, at first i had some difficulty with the oldest child saying some very hurtful things, it was a very difficult situation to handle, but i knew from my experiance in the past he was going through a hard time and i gave him his space and things worked out. I have seen and lived in both situations, and what you are doing will not benefit anyone, including you. Happiness is like perfume, you can't spray it on yourself without getting a little on everyone else, so try to be happy for your mom, and as for your dad he will find happiness elsewhere it will just take some time.

The French.  The country as a whole is not only arrogant, overconfident and ungrateful, but extremely hypocritical. There is the freakishly strong socialist government that, despite the protests and riots, the French seem to love, evident by the sheer number of civil servants. But what it really comes down to is that the French as a whole, have a pathetic work ethic.  The 35 hour work week, one of the lowest, if not the lowest in Europe, cripples the French production capabilities.  The job for life means that no matter how bad of an employee you are you can't be fired.  Anyone who has ever had to work with a French government agency, even as simple as the post office, knows that it takes absolutely ages to get anything done, because of the huge volume of paperwork that accompanies everything, and the fact that the employees work excruciatingly slow.  In the end though, France has so many problems, it hardly matter what their biggest problem is! FYI - the April 1st Economist had some interesting articles about this very question.

being a Jew, I'm pretty sure Jesus was cool with it, he was a rabbi, he wore the tassels and the side curls he taught the fulfilment of the hebrew scripture, his early followers considered themselves messianic Jews, a lot of the early church's debate was about whether us goyim could be included in the church, he quoted the law of moses and he celebrated the Jewish holidays, don't let anyone give you the anti semitic Jesus crap, they're justifying their own irrational fear and prejudice

4 Womans only: How can i give my girl the best or*al job Ever ?

Do not stay in one place. You must work the entire vagina area. Do not focus just on her clitoris. Try spelling her name with your tongue in the central region. Also, flick your tongue very quickly against the clitoris. Also you may try sticking one or two fingers inside her while you are flicking your tongue. The double penetration will get her to where you want her to be. \n\nGood luck

Went on a date w/ a guy about 4-5 years older than me..doesnt call the next day..what can it mean?

Well, I like dating older girls...or at least I prefer older girls, never really dated many but I guess the simplest answer is, maybe he wasn't all that interested. I mean, no offence but it does happen. Although, I don't give much credit to him for pulling out of it THAT way.
