electricity (î-lèk-trîs´e-tê), class of phenomena arising from the existence of CHARGE. According to modern theory, most ELEMENTARY PARTICLES of matter possess charge, either positive or negative. Two particles of like charge, both positive or both negative, repel each other; two particles of unlike charge are attracted. The electric FORCE between two charged particles is much greater than the gravitational force between the particles. Many of the bulk properties of matter are ultimately due to the electric forces among the particles of which the substance is composed. Materials differ in their ability to allow charge toflow through them. Those that allow charge to pass easily are conductors,  whereas those that allow extremely little charge to pass through are called insulators,  or DIELECTRICS. A third class of materials, called SEMICONDUCTORS, is intermediate. Electrostatics is the study of charges, or charged bodies, at rest. When positive or negative charge builds up in fixed positions on objects, certain phenomena can be observed that are collectively referred to as static electricity. The charge can be built by rubbing certain objects together, such as silk and glass or rubber and fur; the friction between these objects causes ELECTRONS to transfer from one to another with the result that the object losing electrons acquires a positive charge and the object gaining electrons acquires a negative charge. Electrodynamics is the study of charges in motion. A flow of electric charge constitutes an electric current. In order for a current to exist in a conductor, there must be an ELECTROMOTIVE FORCE (emf), or POTENTIAL difference, between the conductor's ends. An electric CELL, a PHOTOVOLTAIC CELL, and a GENERATOR are all sources of emf. An emf source with an external conductor connected from one of the source's two terminals to the other constitutes an ELECTRIC CIRCUIT. Direct current (DC) is a flow of current in one direction at a constant rate. Alternating current (AC) is a current flow that increases in magnitude from zero to a maximum, decreases back to zero, increases to a maximum in the opposite direction, decreases to zero, and then repeats this process periodically. The number of repetitions of the cycle occurring each second is defined as the frequency, which is expressed in HERTZ (Hz). The frequency of ordinary household current in the U.S. is 60 cycles per sec (60 Hz), and electric devices must be designed to operate at this frequency. In a solid, the current consists not of a few electrons moving rapidly but of many electrons moving slowly; although this drift of electrons is slow, the impulse that causes it moves through the circuit, when the circuit is completed, at nearly the speed oflight. The movement of electrons in a current is not steady; each electron moves in a series of stops and starts. In a direct current, the electrons are spread evenly through the conductor; in an alternating current, the electrons tend to congregate along the conductor surface. In liquids, gases, and semiconductors, current carriers may be positively or negatively charged.


What is the difference in Goju Ryu, Goju Shorei and Goju Ryu Shorei Karate?

Goju-Ryu\n\nGoju-ryu was founded in the 1930's by Miyagi Chojun from Okinawan karate and Chinese Kempo techniques. It is combination of hard "go" and soft "ju" techniques that work together similar to yin and yang. Linear motion is combined with circular movements. Patterns are practiced slowly with emphasis on breathing.\n\nShorei-Ryu\n\nShorei-ryu is an Okinawan hard style. Known for its heavy, powerful techniques, body toughening training, and its numerous stances.  It is more suitable for a person of heavy body structure. It strives to emulate the actions of the 5 traditional animals and teaches all the traditional Okinawan weapons, such as the bo, tonfa, and sai. Some characteristics of Shorei-ryu are:\n\n    *\n\n      Stances exceptionally low in kata form.\n    *\n\n      Seiken thrust: is slightly downward and in center of body. The rear leg moves slightly forward at the completion of the punch. The moving of the rear leg is automatic and is caused by the power generated by the force of the punch and the forward movement of the hips.\n    *\n\n      Fist: index finger under curled thumb.\n    *\n\n      Hips: rotate with a definite forward movement.\n    *\n\n      Blocks: all start spiraling at wrists and spiral until completion of block.\n    *\n\n      Head snap when turning.\n    *\n\n      Thousand hand, five and six-count rice exercises, and sun fist.\n    *\n\n      High rising block, executed from thigh up.\n    *\n\n      Teeth clenched.\n    *\n\n      Wide-eyed stare.\n    *\n\n      Eight faces: the art of looking or expression (hyojo do): Confidence, Friendly, Solemn, Unconcerned, Contempt, Shock, Fear, and Anger.\n    *\n\n      All kicks, blocks, and strikes are 90% circular.\n    *\n\n      Kicks: for every forward one there is a reverse one. \n    *\n\n      Te-katana and te-uke covers are very obvious in all Shuri-ryu techniques and katas.\n    * Body: always relaxed until exact moment of completing technique.


My mothers assetts are less than $75k. How do I get her will probated inexpensively?

The best thing to do is to talk to a lawyer. A will is not a complicated subject so you don't have to go to a high priced lawyer. You can call several law firms in your area and ask them how much they would charge for such a service. Lawyers often charge per hour so ask for an estimate. The initial consulting should be free.\n\nThe do it yourself approach will cause you more work and likely less money in your pocket. I would recomend the lawyer option. Good luck!

is there any way to make smokers to feel bad enough that they stop?

My six year old son has asthma and his worst trigger is cigarette smoke. If he smells smoke he holds his nose and starts yelling," I smell smoke! My asthma, my asthma!" I've never told him it is rude or not to do it because he has a right to look out for his health. Once it happened at a very nice restaurant and was a table of older people smoking. I half way smiled at them and asked the hostess to move us. Someone came over from the other table and said they would refrain from smoking. That has been our biggest success to where they actually stopped. Both of my children are bad about saying "someone is smoking" in public and I have never stopped them. I usually respond "I know, I smell it too." This is one time I let my children shame people in a social setting. Maybe it isn't doing any good but it gives me a chance to say something without confronting the person. I don't think smokers know just how unbearable it is for nonsmokers. I am hoping that if they here it from a child maybe they will be more courteous about lighting up in public.

who is better kelly clarkson or lindsay lohan?

That's a hard one, but I'd say Kelly. I think she has a better bod; she's got curves and she acts sexier, plus has the voice. Lindsay has a cute face but she tries too hard to be sexy because she's not that sexy naturally. Now Lindsay is more of a superstar and has more money and stuff, but probably more spoiled too. Kelly.


I have suffered from insomnia for years; prescriptions don't work anymore...any advise? I would love to sleep

I had a bad problem with insomnia for many years, and did some research on it.  Here are the things I’ve found that help the most.\n\n1.  Don't take the sleeping pills.  Although they are not addictive in the way we tend to think (you won't jones for them if you miss taking them) they are addictive in the sense that once you have taken them for a while, you will have to take them to get to sleep, but they won't have the same effect they used too.   This is because you tend to not get the necessary REM sleep you need to be rested.  If you must take a sleeping pill, take it well before you go to sleep.  For instance, I prefer to take sleeping pills 2 hours before I go to sleep, so that the pill can get into my system and make me drowsy before I get into bed, then get out of my system (hopefully) early enough that I get some normal sleep.\n\n2.  Try to go to bed at about the same time every night.  You have some wiggle room on this, but if you stay out on Saturday night till 3, it'll be harder to go to sleep at 10PM Sunday.\n\n(Which somewhat contradicts:)\n\n3.  If possible, don't go to bed if you're not sleepy.  Note  - one thing I have read and found to be true is that you have to be awake for 12 hours before you can go back to sleep.  So if you sleep till noon, again, you won't be sleepy at 10PM.  \n\n4.  Don't spend more than 15-30 minutes trying to get to sleep.  If you notice that you've been in bed more than 15 minutes, get out of bed and do something for a while.  Make sure what you do isn't going to make you more hyper; e.g. no exercising or energetic music or writing posts to Great Debates (or reading GD for that matter ;) ). \n\n5.  When you go to bed, choose a chore or some other task that you do not want to do and tell yourself that if you are still awake in thirty minutes you will do that task.  Then, if you are still awake, get up and do your chosen task.  This is my favorite suggestion, as it has worked nearly every time I've used it. .\n\nThose are the most useful suggestions I have.  Other things you can try:\n\nBefore you start getting ready for sleep, turn off high energy music and turn the lights down.  I love R&R music, but I went through a period where I had to turn the radio off every night about an hour before I went to bed, or I would be to wired to sleep. And our bodies react to reduced light by producing melatonin which puts us to sleep.  \n\nGet plenty of exercise, but not right before bed.  (Unless you're weird like me - exercise right before bed just puts me to sleep)\n\nAnother suggestion that might work is to relax your body, consciously, one area at a time, starting from your feet. You think about the ball of your left foot and relax it, then the ball of your right foot, then the arch of your left foot, etc. You have to concentrate (pretty hard) on what you are doing.\n\nSex :D  by yourself or with an SO, it produces a nice soporific chemical, which does a nice job of putting you to sleep.


What is the differance detween ROM and Flash drive?

A ROM is, as indicated before, a Read Only Memory, most often a single chip or integrated circuit (IC).\n\nA Flash Drive (sometimes called pen drives, thumb drives, memory sticks, etc), is a collection of chips, that contains a flash memory chip or IC, most often an EEPROM (Electrically-Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) and a small integrated USB (Universal Serial Bus) interface electronics.\n\nThe difference between the flash drive's EEPROM and a regular ROM is that a vanilla ROM is usually "written to" at a manufacturing plant and it cannot be changed.  An EEPROM can be erased and re-written electronically, for example through the USB, which supplies the power to the flash drive.\n\nFlash drives can and do fail after certain amount of "flashes", or re-writing.


Which is faster to reach the destination, flying opposite or same direction with earth's rotation?

We are in earth.As earth rotates we too rotate. The starting point and the destination point both rotate as they are after all points on earth. Therfore weather  we fly opposite or in the same direction of rotation of earth it makes no difference. \n To understand it better, think you are in a fast moving train.If we walk with constant speed from engine to the last compartment in 20 minutes the same time will take to return to the engine from the last compartmemt.\nFor an outsider who is in the platform  the thing will appear  differently. When you move opposite to the direction of train he will say that you are little slow than the train"s speed and When you move in the same direction of train he will say that you are little faster than the train.\nEven then he will calculate the time of your travel within the train as the same for to and fro motion.\n If the train moves with a speed nearer to the velocity of light then to understand the motion we must study Einstein's relativity theory.


If a guy like you and doesn't ask you out, should I ask him out?

YES!\n\nSome guys are shy, and the location, such as at work, might also stop him from making the first move.


Is Encyclopedia Brown fiction or non fiction?


Married Couples Have Multiple Filing Options \nMarried couples have three filing choices: married filing jointly, married filing separately, or head of household. To qualify for the head of household filing status, you must have lived apart from your spouse for the last six months of the year, have a dependent child living with you, and provide more than half of the support for the household. Filing separately usually results in higher overall taxes. Check with your H&R Block tax professional for adviceWhat's your filing status? It may sound like a simple question, but the correct answer could make a difference in your tax bill.\n\nWhat you ultimately have to pay the Internal Revenue Service rests in large part on your filing status. There are five official choices, and the one you pick also determines whether you can take certain tax deductions or credits that could lower your final tax bill. \n\nIn some cases, your status can even be the deciding factor in whether you have to file at all. So picking the right one when you file is crucial.\n\n1. Single: This applies to never-married, unmarried and divorced taxpayers. You are considered single for the whole year if you were legally single on the last day of the year.\n\n2. Married filing jointly: In this case, as with the single status, you are considered married for the whole tax year as long as you were married on the last day of the tax year. And regardless of what your state says about marriage for same-sex couples, federal law -- and therefore the IRS for tax purposes -- considers only a legal union between a man and woman as a marriage. \n\nWhen you file jointly, both husband and wife report all their income on one Form 1040. Both filers may be held responsible for any tax (or subsequent penalty and interest) due. This is the case even if only one spouse earned all the income. On the plus side, the married filing jointly option does offer some tax credits that are not available under other filing statuses.\n\n3. Married filing separately: Here couples segregate their income, deductions and exemptions and file two individual returns. This might be advisable in cases where, for example, one spouse had large medical expenses. Since these costs must exceed a percentage of the filer's income before they are deductible, using only the eligible spouse's earnings by filing separately might make that deduction threshold more attainable. \n\nIn most cases, however, couples find they will generally pay more combined tax on separate returns than they would on a joint return. In some cases, at least one spouse's tax rate ends up higher than it would have been under a joint filing. Also, when a husband and wife file separate returns, they lose some tax credits and deductions they could have taken if they'd filed jointly. \n\nUnless you are required to file separately, you should figure your tax both on a joint return and on separate returns. This way you can make sure you are using the method that results in the lowest combined tax. \n\n4. Head of household: This status applies to unmarried taxpayers who provided more than half the cost of keeping up a home (for more than six months) for the filer and a qualifying relative. Tax rates for qualified filers usually are more favorable than those in the single or married filing separately categories. Head of household filers also get a larger standard deduction amount than do single filers. In some cases, married persons who have not lived with their spouses may qualify for this status.\n\n5. Qualifying widow or widower with a dependent child: You can still file a joint return for the tax year in which your spouse passed away. After that, you might be eligible to file as a qualifying widow or widower.

What is a firefighter's schedule like?  What are pay and benefits like?

Most firefighters in the country work 24 hours on 48 hours off.  They also have a set day off that they will never work. These are called "Kelly Day"\n\nExample\n\nMonTueWedThurFriSatSun\nONOFFOFFONOFFOFFON\nOFFOFFONOFFOFFONOFF\nOFFONOFFOFFKELLYOFFOFF\n\n\nMedian hourly earnings of fire fighters were $18.43 in May 2004. The middle 50 percent earned between $13.65 and $24.14. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $9.71, and the highest 10 percent earned more than $29.21. Median hourly earnings were $18.78 in local government, $17.34 in the Federal Government, and $14.94 in State government.\n\nMedian annual earnings of first-line supervisors/managers of fire fighting and prevention workers were $58,920 in May 2004. The middle 50 percent earned between $46,880 and $72,600. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $36,800, and the highest 10 percent earned more than $90,860. First-line supervisors/managers of fire fighting and prevention workers employed in local government earned about $60,800 a year.\n\nMedian annual earnings of fire inspectors and investigators were $46,340 in May 2004. The middle 50 percent earned between $36,030 and $58,260 a year. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $28,420, and the highest 10 percent earned more than $71,490. Fire inspectors and investigators employed in local government earned about $48,020 a year.\n\nAccording to the International City-County Management Association, average salaries in 2004 for sworn full-time positions were as follows:\n\n  Minimum annual base salary Maximum annual base salary \n      \nFire chief $68,701 $89,928 \nDeputy chief 63,899 79,803 \nAssistant fire chief 57,860 73,713 \nBattalion chief 58,338 73,487 \nFire captain 49,108 59,374 \nFire lietenant 44,963 53,179 \nFire prevention/code inspector 43,297 54,712 \nEngineer 41,294 52,461 \n\nFire fighters who average more than a certain number of hours a week are required to be paid overtime. The hours threshold is determined by the department during the fire fighter’s work period, which ranges from 7 to 28 days. Fire fighters often earn overtime for working extra shifts to maintain minimum staffing levels or for special emergencies.\n\nFire fighters receive benefits that usually include medical and liability insurance, vacation and sick leave, and some paid holidays. Almost all fire departments provide protective clothing (helmets, boots, and coats) and breathing apparatus, and many also provide dress uniforms. Fire fighters generally are covered by pension plans, often providing retirement at half pay after 25 years of service or if the individual is disabled in the line of duty.


It's when the brain is trying to send signals to the mouth while speaking.  If the brain sends the words to the mouth too fast, the mouth can't move fast enough, so the entire system becomes frustrated and begins stammering.  One of the better ways to avoid this is to think about what you want to say before you say it.  Cause yourself to slow down when talking and eventually your brain and mouth can get back on the same wavelength again.

Saturns distance to the sun is roughly how many times Earth's distance to the sun?

Saturn is about 9.6 times farther from the Sun than the Earth. Saturn's average distance to the Sun is just short of being 1 billion miles. The Earth average distance is 93 million miles. \n\nDear Ganch, the definition of a kilometer is that it takes 10,000 of them to go from the Earth's equator to one of the poles. The Earth's circumference is, therefore 40,000 km. The Earth's diameter is 12,756 km. The distance from the sun to the Earth in km is 150 million km (93 million miles) and the distance from the Sun to Saturn is 1 billion 427 million km (890 million miles-- 0.89 billion miles.)The distance from Los Angeles to London os 8,800 km. I really hope the Sun is a little farther than that! Thanks.

My son is 15 and in High School and wants to babysit late in the week. Should i let him or put an end to it.?

Hi Caspersweetpea! Sean here (the guy you sent an MSN Messenger Live Beta invitation to but at the wrong address :). This situation invites a lot of problems. If that was my kid, I would tell her employer this is not good for my son since he is only 15. The kid your son is babysitting needs special care that only an adult can give specially with his anger problem. If something bad happens to the kid he is babysitting, your son will carry a lot of psychological burden for the rest of his life. If something bad happens to your kid, are you willing to take that risk?

Let me tell you first how data are stored on your Hard Disk...\n\nOnce you Save or Copy a file on your Hard Disk, its copied to a Table (known as Windows System Voulume Information - SysVol Info) with the binaries of the Data...it also includes the file attributes (read only, hidden, etc,) and file permissions (who has/has no access to this file)\n\nOnce the file is erased, its not physically erased unless the file binary in the SysVol Info has been over written...\n\nWhen is it over written though?\nBy default, Windows over writes when:\n- there is no more space on the disk and new files are needed to be added;\n- when new files are being copied to the hard disk (either a copy/paste or a save)...\n\nThese files, as soon as they are not over written, they can be simply recovered with any Recovery tool such as those listed below:\n- O&O Unerase v2.0\nhttp://www.oo-software.com/en/index.html\n\n- FileRestore (Part of Winternals Administrtor's Pak)\nhttp://www.winternals.com/Products/AdministratorsPak/Default.aspx\n\n- PC Inspector File Recovery\nhttp://www.pcinspector.de/file_recovery/UK/welcome.htm\n\n- File Recovery 4.0 - Freeware (I never tried it though)\nhttp://www.softwarepatch.com/software/filerecovery.html\n\n\nPS: Once you attempt to install or download these applications on your hard disk, the files you are trying to recover could be over written, especially when you download files, they are downloaded on the Primary Partition in the Temp directory, then moves to the desired destination...\n\nSo, try to download and install on another computer then use to recover data on your computer...\n\nIf your files were placed on another partition other than the Primary partition, then you shouldn't be having this problem...\n\nPPS: Winternals Administrator's Pak creates a bootable CD for easy Recovery...so, you can simply use on any computer once done...\n\nHope you find this useful...


First of all, make sure you are spelling correctly. It is very important because it will be the first impression of the person reading it. The main parts of a resume are your name, address, and phone number or email, your work history with dates and job duties, educational background (nothing before high school), and references if necessary. You can state that references are available on request. I have seen a lot of resumes and they are all a little different. There are several good websites with free resume examples. Here is a link to get you started. http://www.collegegrad.com/jobsearch/3-3.shtml


I'll talk about the Google search engine. In my opinion, because:\n1-the search page has a simple and clear design (people get crazy with complicated designs)\n2-answers layout looks like answers (not much publicity)\n3-the pagerank algorythm is decently good

how can i make my relationship with my guy better?

If you are not sure how you feel about him, how can you say you want your love, for him, to grow? First and foremost, you need to KNOW how you feel before you do anything at all. Let nature take its course.

Who was leviathan, what does it symbolises nowadays,what is the cross of leviathan and what it symbolises ?

I will add a few chapters to the first answer and then I´ll give you other descriptions about the entity:\n\n               CHRISTIAN INTERPRETATION\nThe word "Leviathan" appears five times in the Bible:\n\n1) Isaiah 27:1: "In that day the Lord with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea."\n\n2) Psalms 74:14: "Thou didst crush the heads of the Leviathan, thou didst give him for food to the desert people."\n\n3) Psalms 104:25,26: "O Lord, how manifold thy works, in wisdom you have created them all. So is this great and wide sea... there go the ships and the Leviathan which you have created to play with";\n\n4) Book of Job 3:8 "Lo let the night be solitary, let no joyful cry be heard in it. Let them curse it who curse the day who are ready to awake the Leviathan";\n\nThe Christian interpretation of Leviathan is often considered to be a demon or natural monster associated with Satan or the Devil, and held by some to be the same monster as Rahab (Isaiah 51:9).\n\nSome biblical scholars considered Leviathan to represent the pre-existent forces of chaos. In Psalm 74:13-14 it says "it was You who drove back the sea with Your might, who smashed the heads of the monsters in the waters; it was You who crushed the heads of Leviathan, who left him as food for the creatures of the wilderness. (JPS edition)" God drove back the waters of the pre-existent Earth (Genesis 1:2 "the earth being unformed and void with darkness over the surface of the deep and a wind from God sweeping over the water-" [JPS edition]) and destroyed the chaotic marine monster Leviathan in order to shape the unformed and void Earth in his liking.\n\n \nPicture of Leviathan often found in grimoires, by an unknown artist.Leviathan also appears in the Apocryphal Book of Enoch, giving the following description of this monster's origins there mentioned as being female, as opposed to the male Behemoth:\n\nAnd that day will two monsters be parted, one monster, a female named Leviathan in order to dwell in the abyss of the ocean over the fountains of water; and (the other), a male called Behemoth, which holds his chest in an invisible desert whose name is Dundayin, east of the garden of Eden. - 1 Enoch 60:7-8\n\nSome interpreters suggest that Leviathan is a symbol of mankind in opposition to God, claiming that it and beasts mentioned in the books of Daniel and Revelation should be interpreted as metaphors. The usage of Leviathan in the Old Testament books (Isaiah 27:1) would seem to be a reference to a Semitic mythological beast mentioned in Ugaritic literature (of Ugarit, a city-state in North Syria). According to Canaanite myth, the Leviathan was an enemy of order in Creation and was slain by the Canaanite god Baal. The word Leviathan to the ancient Jews became synonymous with that which warred against God's kingdom. This especially included nations warring against Israel such as Assyria and Egypt. \n\n                       SATANISM\nIn The Satanic Bible, subsequently the final section, the "Book of Leviathan", authored by Anton LaVey, and according to most Satanist groups, particularly LaVeyan Satanism, Leviathan is one of the "Four Crown Princes" and represents the number three, the colour blue, man's carnal side and the human element chaos. There, Leviathan's element is water, water being that which human forms are primarily created of. This representing the unity of matter and anti-matter, chaos and order, yin with yang, and Leviathan's direction is west, west being used to represent chaos and disorder.\n\nCONCERNING TO THE SYMBOL / There is a primary representation of the Leviathan in the symbol called Ouroboros, which is the depiction of a serpent swallowing it´s own tail. Thus, represents the cyclical nature of things, eternal retur

Simple. Works everytime if she is interested.\n\nGo up and introduce yourself and ask her if she would like to go out. Have an idea what you want to do. Like movies, dinner or hang gliding.


u have to follow the Dale Carnegie rules\n\n1. u have to use her name -- don't just say "wut about da movies chik?" -- say "Yolanda (I have always liked that name did you know it means the queen of Norway) wut movie would YOU like to see wit me myself and I and why?"\n\n2. u have to learn what da gurl likez. CLUE CLUE CLUE do not ask her friendz they will LIE LIE LIE. instead casually scope out wut magazines OTHER girls are reading like when they are hanging out or ask a totally different girl. Then THIS IS SO HARD TO EVEN TYPE u have to go to a different neighborhood and secretly buy those magazines and read them. I saw Clint Eastwood do this man, so be a man and do it. \nRead all that girly stuff about advice and relationships. Then tear out a couples quiz and tell her your cousin in Seatlle mailed it to you and sit down and take it with her.\n\n4. Find out her birthday and OH THIS IS SO TOTALLY PAINFUL you have to buy the little astrology book at the grocery store checkout line (go to a store in another town man) and read it. Astrology is such a good way to open up, because you can say "Yolanda, we can NEVER be together because yo Virgo and I am LEO what say you wench?" Try to be like shakespearean and pose like an ACtor. Humor is good.\n\n6. Go to the DOLLAR store and buy silly silly stuff like  toy boats and say "Yolanda would you come play puddle boats wit me in the big puddle in the soccer field? I PROMISE I will hold the umbrella  tight!"\n\nSo you see it is all about RELAX and get where you can be stupid and silly and just hang out and all the rest is following - do you follow me? Do you? Send me a signal dude, this is YOUR happ;iness.

If tectonic plates move underwater it is possible to get a Tsunami (Means harbour Wave in Japanese) anywhere assuming the conditions are right.\nGenerally Tectonic plate shifts have to occur in the up/down motion (Regional uplift or subsidence) to cause a Tsunami. Once the underwater wave hits shallow water it will raise the sealevel due to the force of the underwater wave causing a Tsunami.\n\nThe West coast of the US would be at most risk from a Tsunami due to the Pacific rim being a hot bed of Tectonic  plate activity, in fact they already have a Pacific Tsunami early warning system (USGS).\n\nI am no expert but have seen countless documentaries and read books on the subject.

Explain Mcleod's phenotype for blood types?

The McLeod phenotype was described by Allen et al. (1961) in a man of\n  that surname. His red cells showed unaccountably weak reactivity to Kell\n  antisera. In 1970, his red cells were noted to be acanthocytic in the\n  absence of abetalipoproteinemia. The precursor missing in McLeod's red\n  cells is called Kx. The X-linked locus determining this substance is\n  called Xk. Boys with chronic granulomatous disease lack Kx on\n  their phagocytic white cells and show acanthocytosis. McLeod had normal\n  white cell Kx and did not have granulomatous disease. He did have a\n  compensated hemolytic state (Wimer et al., 1976). Evidence for X-linkage\n  of Xk was provided by mosaicism in females for both acanthocytosis and\n  red cell Kx. The observations showed that some blood group antigenic\n  substances are important to both structure and function of cell\n  membranes.


Good anti-virus solutions...common question.\n\n- AVG is a free anti-virus, and I've heard good reviews about it, but I don't have personal experience.\n- avast! from http://www.avast.com is free and is currently up for a 2006 Award for the best anti-virus, so I would recommend this.\n\n- Trend micro is wonderful: it's protects my notebook computer as we speak. Easy to use user interface and has different profiles for wireless, dial-up, direct connect, etc.  http://www.trendmicro.com\n\n- Norton and McAfee are good and widely used by many people, but some viruses are designed specfically to attack these guys, so I would be warry of choosing a common AV solution.\n\n- Computer Associates is a well-known corporate identity and is currently offering a FREE YEAR of their AV solution, eZAnti-virus.  I use this software on my home computer, works great so I would recommend it too: http://www.my-etrust.com/microsoft is the download link.\n\nHope all this helps and good luck.


How important is credit score in qualifying for a high paying job?

Most companies do not run your credit report in the hiring process.  I would say without even running a credit report most companies through the interview process can determine high quality people.  High quality people just happen to have high quality credit scores.

why does earth have greater gravity than the moon?

The amount of matter in an object is called its mass. The force of gravity is dependent on the amount of mass a body has. That means that the gravity on the Earth is greater than the gravity on the Moon, since the Earth has much more matter or mass than the Moon.

The webcams also move faster when they are in super web cam mode, it is only available if you have high speed internet access.


I'm sorry all these things are happening. But, the answer to your question is: No, it's not good to hate your parents. It's also not good to treat a daughter as they have been treating her. \n\nWhat would be good in this case is for you and your parents to go to a family counseling service and get these issues out in the open. I hope they find out how you are feeling before too much more time passes. And, good luck to you.


why do people like to keep their memories in pictures and on videos?

Mind is Reconstructive:\nEvents are imperfectly remembered. Many events are not remembered at all. Some events are remembered initially but later gradually forgotten. \n\nA trigger (e.g. an article in a newspaper, a photograph of a friend etc) might bring back a recently forgotten memory. However, most events eventually become permanently lost and can never be retrieved. \n\nIt is impossible for the brain to store complete details of every event. It simply does not have the storage capacity to hold that amount of data. Rather, only a minimal amount of information is actually stored in the brain. \n\nWhen we recall a memory, our mind will automatically "flesh out" the recollection by inventing details of the event, based on previous similar experiences. This process is largely unconscious; we are not generally aware of it happening. \n\nOne interesting phenomenon can occur when the memory is being recalled as a result of questions by a therapist or interrogator. Their suggestive questions can distort this "fleshing out" process. The mind can add new components to the memory that are unrelated to the original event. Even more interestingly, these distortions will later re-enter the client's memory, and will probably emerge during subsequent recalls.


The Straight Dope says, "To tell you the truth, nobody really knows. The best explanation I've been able to find (and frankly it doesn't explain very much) is that nipples aren't a sex-linked characteristic. In other words, nipples are just one of those sexually neutral pieces of equipment, like arms or brains, that humans get regardless of sex." \n\nIt's also notable that the fetus starts to develop nipples long before any other sex-linked characteristics.


What happened in the case of Penry vs. Lynaugh; in 1989?'?

"Penry held that the applicaiton of the death penalty to persons who are metnally retarded but not legally insane does not violate the Eighth Amendment against cruel and unusual punishments."\n\nThis decision was later overturned by Atkins v. Virginia (2002), which ruled that "Executions of mentally retarded criminals are 'cruel and unusual punnishments' prohibited by the Eighth Amendment."

In shopping for a bank, what questions should I ask?

It all depends on what you need from a bank. You can get more bang for your buck if you choose an individual bank for each banking need. A bank that gives you a good deal on free checking may not be able to give you a good savings rate.\n\nMyself, I have a Bank of America checking account ('free' with direct deposit, but I'm very happy with their bill pay program), a savings account with Emigrant Direct (4.25% APY), and I use credit cards from Citibank (excellent cash rewards).

How do you trust someone after they've lied to you?

1) He lied to you more than once.\n\n2) He is stringing along two women.\n\nThere is an old saying that goes, \n\n"Fool me once, shame on you.\nFool me twice, shame on me."\n\nLove is hard, but it becomes even harder when sex clouds your judgement. Only you can really know what is best for you. If it were me, I would let him go. Obviously he needs to get something out of his system. WHile he is doing so though, he is also putting you at risk for a broken heart and possibly an STD. Perhaps he needs to see what life would be like without you. I would not exactly be sitting by the phone while he took the time to find out what he wanted out of life either. It is true, maybe now he is ready to change. On the flip, he could also be trying to see how far he can really go with both of you. If both of you keep giving in, he can always have his cake and eat it too.\n\n"If you love something, let it go.\nIf it comes back to you, it is yours forever.\nIf it doesn't, it was never yours to begin with . . ."\n\nJust something to think about . . .


What are good manners to know when rooming with someone?

Laying out expectations and preferences before you move in together, or as soon as you do can help ease a lot of conflict.  \nIf we're talking college roommates, issues such as your sleep schedules, thoughts on overnight guests, level of comfort with alcohol or other substances being consumed in the space, and cleanliness may all come up.  \nBe honest.  Don't be afraid to bring something up if it bothers you, because the longer you let it go the more likely it'll blow up.


what are the rules & regulation of management information system?

1) Don't do anything that gets you into legal trouble.  Don't copy protected media or intellectual property.  Abide by privacy laws.  Encrypt all outgoing sensitive information.  Tithe.  Keep a calm and professional attitude.  Demand a fair price for you services.\n\n2) Do exactly what your employer/client wants/needs you to do when they need you to do it.\n\nWhen you figure out what to do when 1) conflicts with 2), you'll be ready to manage information systems.\n\nActually (joking aside), COBIT is a good starting point for information about IT guideance.  If you are involved in a public corporation (with publicly traded stock), you need to know about the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.  See the links below

What should a technology geek save his money for: New windows software, or Play Station 3?

From a pure gaming stand point.  Nothing beats a high-end PC with the latest graphics card (dual cards if you can afford them), 2GB of memory and somewhere in the area of 500GB of storage (preferably two 250GB hard drives in a RAID configuration).  The best gaming experience is on a PC, period.  I can't stand console controllers.  Now if consoles used a keyboard and mouse I might be a little more forgiving.  At any rate, I would save your money for either upgrades to your PC or a new PC at the end of the year as Vista will be coming out along with DirectX 10 and a whole new generation of graphics cards.\n\nI'm saving my money for all of that.  Then again I have spent upwards of $2,500 on my desktop and further upgrades.  And I will be doing so again this year.

How good is to use a mouthwasher, and how ofetn ?

I saw on 20/20 or Primetime that mouthwash isn't as good for you as expected. Well for clean breath anyway. They had said that the alcohol in mouthwash temporarily stops saliva production which causes bad breath quicker. See, saliva helps to dissolve plaque and food particles so if you aren't producing saliva then your breath will get nastier quicker. My dentist told me the best bet is floss and good brushing techniques will do a far more superior job. Just my 2 cents worth.


Thales (in Greek: Θαλής) of Miletus (ca. 635 BC-543 BC), also known as Thales the Milesian, was a pre-Socratic Greek philosopher and one of the Seven Sages of Greece. Many regard him as the first philosopher in the Greek tradition as well as the father of science.\n\nGeometry\nThales is credited with first popularizing geometry in ancient Greek culture, mainly that of spatial relationships. He is the first one who separated trigonometry as an independent branch of mathematics, to become one of the four basic "elements" of geometry. The other three elements of geometry are about the length, square and cube of an object.\n\nIn geometry, Thales' theorem (named after Thales of Miletus) states that if A, B and C are points on a circle where the line AC is a diameter of the circle, then the angle ABC is a right angle.\n\nWe use the following facts: the sum of the angles in a triangle is equal to two right angles and that the base angles of an isosceles triangle are equal.\n\nLet O be the center of the circle. Since OA = OB = OC, OAB and OBC are isosceles triangles, and by the equality of the base angles of an isosceles triangle, OBC = OCB and BAO = ABO. Let γ = BAO and δ = OBC.\n\nSince the sum of the angles of a triangle is equal to two right angles, we have\n\n2γ + γ ′ = 180° \nand\n\n2δ + δ ′ = 180° \nWe also know that\n\nγ ′ + δ ′ = 180° \nAdding the first two equations and subtracting the third, we obtain\n\n2γ + γ ′ + 2δ + δ ′ − (γ ′ + δ ′) = 180° \nwhich, after cancelling γ ′ and δ ′, implies that\n\nγ + δ = 90° \n\nThe converse of Thales' theorem is also valid, which states that a right triangle's hypotenuse is a diameter of its circumcircle.\n\nThe theorem and its converse can be expressed as follows:\n\nThe center of the circumcircle of a triangle lies on one of the triangle's sides if and only if the triangle is a right triangle. \n\nProof of the converse\nThe proof utilises the fact that directional vectors of two lines form right angles if and only if the dot product is zero. Let there be a right angle ABC and circle M with AC as a diameter. Let M's center lie on the origin, for easier calculation. Then the dot product of AB and BC is\n\n(A − B) · (B − C) = (A − B) · (B + A) = |A|2 − |B|2 = 0. \nHence:\n\n|A| = |B|. \nA and B are also equidistant from the circle's center, hence M is the triangle's circumcenter.\n\nThe Theorems Attributed to Thales\n\nFive Euclidean theorems have been explicitly attributed to Thales, and the testimony is that Thales successfully applied two theorems to the solution of practical problems. \n\nThales did not formulate proofs in the formal sense. What Thales did was to put forward certain propositions which, it seems, he could have 'proven' by induction: he observed the similar results of his calculations: he showed by repeated experiment that his propositions and theorems were correct, and if none of his calculations resulted in contrary outcomes, he probably felt justified in accepting his results as proof. Thalean 'proof' was often really inductive demonstration. The process Thales used was the method of exhaustion. This seems to be the evidence from Proclus who declared that Thales 'attacked some problems in a general way and others more empirically'. \n\nDEFINITION I.17: A diameter of the circle is a straight line drawn through the centre and terminated in both directions by the circumference of the circle; and such a straight line also bisects the circle (Proclus, 124). > \n\nPROPOSITION I.5: In isosceles triangles the angles at the base are equal; and if the equal straight lines are produced further, the angles under the base will be equal (Proclus, 244). It seems that Thales discovered only the first part of this theorem for Proclus reported: We are indebted to old Thales for the discovery of this and many other theorems. For he, it is said, was the first to n

DOES ANYONE KNOW ARTIST OR TITLE OF SONG WITH FOLLOWING WORDS??

Another Cup Of Coffee (performed by Mike & The Mechanics)\n\nAnd she pours herself another cup of coffee | As she contemplates the stain across the wall and it's in between the cleaning and the washing | That's when looking back's | The hardest part of all | And she always did her best to try and please him | While he always did his best to make her cry | And she got down on her knees to stop him leaving | But he always knew one day he'd say goodbye | Where are your friends | Where are your children | Is this your house | Is this your home | Does nothing ever last forever | Does everybody sleep alone | And he tears the business tags from his old suitcase | As he packs away the pieces of his life | They all love him but they always try to change him | That's what happens when a girl becomes a wife | And she pours herself another cup of coffee | As the pictures leave a clean space on the wall | and it's in between the leaving and the loving | That's when looking back's | The hardest part of all | Where are your friends | Where are your children | Is this your house | Is this your home | Does nothing ever last forever | Does everybody sleep alone | Don't look back | Don't give up | Pour yourself another cup


The simple answer is Clark's dad (just like in the original movie which I think was a great way to keep the movie mythology)\n\nThe long story is that Lana died in a car accident and Clark asked his father, Jor-El to bring her back to life.  Clark agreed knowing that someone close to him might die.  Clark knowingly was sent back in time to avoid the same thing from happening, but in the end his father died of a heart attack.  This ends up being a major turning point into making Clark realize what his destiny is.


What steps should be taken to avoid goitre from expanding?

Expanding goiter?  Do you mean avoidance of the thyroid gland enlarging due to goiter?  Goiter can develop because of excessive thyroid hormone production or the failure to produce enough hormone.\n\nA diet deficient in iodine can cause a goiter but this is rarely the cause because of the readily available iodine in our diets. A more common cause of goiter in America is an increase in thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) in response to a defect in normal hormone synthesis within the thyroid gland. -- So, basically, iodine isn't always the answer.\n\nTreatment involves getting the thyroid hormone levels back to normal, usually with medication. When the medication takes effect, the thyroid may begin to return to its normal size. However, a large nodular goiter with a lot of internal scar tissue will not shrink with treatment. If the goiter is uncomfortable, causes overproduction of thyroid hormone unresponsive to medications, or becomes cancerous, the entire thyroid gland may have to be surgically removed.

what do i do if i think my best friend isnt my best friend anymore?

If someone is not your best friend anymore that means that either you or he/she or both have changed (assuming there is not a discussion that has made your relationship to grow apart).So if now you have different interests, or have that sharing time with other friends is more amusing, then try to feed those friendships. If you really feel like you still want this friend to be a very close friend, talk it out and see why youa re becoming distant from one the other. Sometimes friends dont keep in touch for a while, but usually they come back when they realize they feel comfortable around.

Why is homeschooling become so popular nowadays?

Parent's don't feel as though their kids are getting the quality of education that they need.  In many areas the schooling is just pathetic.  Some people can't afford to move to the areas with better schooling.  \n\nIn addition, I think more people are home schooling their kids who have special needs or problems such as severe food allergies. \n\nIt's the easiest way to know your kids are being influenced by those things in which you want them to and not the negative influence of certain kids or poor teaching.  \n\nIn my opinion home schooling is good, but I think you could miss out on a lot.  If you home school you need to be sure to expose your children to more social situations and activities to maintain their ability to communicate with others.

are u saved? and 100% sure u're goin to heaven? how?

I am saved and positive I am going to heaven, not because I did anything to merit this, but thank God for Jesus Christ our Lord, who went to the cross for me and all mankind if they will only believe, very simple, He took all my sins and yours upon Himself so that we would have eternal salvation, I believe and my heart is Blessed by Him and all I can say is I am so thankful that He chose me, a sinner, to love and die for, how awesome, I have been saved for many years and have so much security, faith, love and so much to live for because of Him, my relationship with the Lord Jesus, is so very real, and His Spirit lives in me , and again, not because I am special, only because He loves me, and always remember He loves you too. God Bless all those in doubt, you do not have to be. Jesus is real, just ask HIM , He will answer you, I promise.


Is it right to be thinking of a baby and marriage at the age of 15, with the one you love the most right now.?

I am glad you two found your love.  Remember that both of you should finish high school and complete at least two years of college.  This will help both of you have decent jobs and be able to support the family.\n\nUse protections and do not get pregnant until you are married.  If you have a child now, you will stop going to school and create a very hard life for both of you and the baby.\n\nIf you both love each other, work hard in school and college, so that you will have the money to support your family and be able to afford to do things together.\n\nBest of luck.

You should talk to your doctor if you have high prolactin levels.  This could be caused by a tumor of the pituitary gland called a prolactinoma.  Signs and symptoms include headache, blurry vision, impotence, amenorrhea (no menstruation), gynecomastia (breast enlargement in men), and galactorrhea (discharge from the breasts).  Your doctor will do a complete work-up, and you may have to take bromocriptine or even have surgery.

Does ANYBODY notice that no matter WHAT a president does, the general public has a problem with it?  Bush is cleaning up the mess that Clinton started.  War with Iraq was imminent, meaning going to happen anyway.  Clinton, not having ANY military experience (He dodged the draft by going to Europe), wanted to stay away from war.  As far as the Katrina victims, they were told a week in advance to leave, that a Cat 5 hurricane would flood a city BUILT BELOW SEA LEVEL. Those who didn't leave are morons.  They got what they were stubborn enough to deserve.  Then they cry for help and shoot at the help?  I'm sorry, but a tv and nikes are not going to feed your family.  I feel he is doing all that ONE MAN can do.  You think all you complaining about everything is helping or making it easier?  1000 people died in Iraq...  In how long?  How long does it take 1000 people to die in America?  No one complains about that, now do they?


Can i use more than 1 anti-virus software in my PC?How?

I assume you're using Windows. Using two anti-virus programs creates conflicts. For instance when you download a file both will try to scan it at the same time. The second program will cause an error because the file is already in use by the first program.\n\nOne top of that Windows now requires each anti-virus program to register with it so it can monitor weather it's enable or disabled. When there is two windows gets confused. \n\nPlus it uses up system resources. Just run on anti-virus application; keep it updated, run regular scans. \n\nI often uninstall one and install a differnt one just to make sure mine is doing it's job.\n\nI've included a link on this topic.

Where do Muslims and Buddists stand on abortion?

bismillahir rahmanir raheem. \n\nI will answer this to the best of my ability and knowledge and Allah knows best. First of all, pre Islamic Arabs did not kill ALL of the girl infants otherwise there would have been no more Arabs. But female infanticide did exist and was generally an economic concern more than anything, and had nothing to do with "bad omens", it says in the Quran "Kill not your children for fear of want". Prophet Muhammad (SAW) put an end to that practice of female infanticide. \n\nBut to answer your question, there is no concensus today amongst learned people, male and female but the predominant opinion is that Abortion is not allowed unless a physician says it is necessary to save the life of the mother. This is because our lives and bodies are not our own. They are gifts to us from our creator and only our creator has the right to take them away. But while we have them they are in our care and we are responsible for that. For instance, smoking has been shown to be harmful and the concensus opinion is that it is not allowed because of that. Taking a human life is the ultimate action in this way and it includes the taking of the human life that is growing in the mother's womb. Children also are considered to be a gift from Allah (SWT) and we are not allowed to kill them before or after they leave the mother's womb. \n\nA second, minority opinion, says that since the soul does not enter the body until 40 days after conception therefore abortion is legal for the first 40 days. This opinion is an extreme minority.\n\nSalim

why is probability sampling prefered over non probability sampling?

Probabilty sampling allows you to perform stastistical analysis, such as regression, correlation and so on.  They can also be crafted to be extremely representative of the population.  You can also construct confidence intervals (for example: 54% of Americans support the bill with a margin of error of +/- 2%).  You can also use stastitical methods to prove casality or other relationships.  Non probability sampling cannot be used with stastical analysis, thus we can have no margin or error, correlation, etc.  However, given a sufficiently large sample size, non probability sampling can still be useful for getting a 'pulse' of the total population.


My dad was in the veitnam war and I am trying to get him at least 30% disability. Any one have any tips?

Find out how he feels.  Find a comfortable time for both of you to talk about your feelings.

They got married in 9 months after the proposal.  Do you want to wait that long?

What is your weight in Kg?  Is it normal to your height?

Human height, or stature, is the height of a human being. Height generally varies little between people compared to other anthropometric measures, usually exceptional height (variance from the average of around 20%) is due to gigantism or dwarfism, but height normally falls within a certain range known as a normal distribution (bell curve). Height is determined by the interaction of genes and environment. Final adult height may be attained anywhere from the early teens to early 20s, though it is most commonly reached during the mid teens for females and late teens for males.\n\nMY HEIGHT 165CMS\n   WEIGHT  65 KGS


It is important to men in a physical sense and to women in an emotional sense. If I had to pick one, I would say guys. More because I believe that women love the communication and personality of a man before she can give him any sex, while a man will have sex on his mind most of the time.


How many calories should I be taking in to lose weight?  I weigh 230 now.?

Depends on your age, gender and personal and family health history.  Cut back at least 500 calories a day from what you are eating now and add some exercise.  One pound of fat is equal to 3500 calories, so in 7 days, you'll lose 1 lb, just by eating less.  If you add exercise on top of that, you should be able to lose up to 3 lbs or so a week.

Let me begin by saying that my wife's cousin married an Iranian so I have nothing against anybody on an individual basis.  However, I take issue w/ the Iranian people for electing a rhetoric spewing, inflaming anti-semite for "President".  \n\nFurthermore, I cannot understand how the government of a country rich in petroleum oil would want to develop nuclear energy for "peaceful means" after announcing to the world that Israel should be "wiped off the map"?  This theocratic government w/ absolute power over its people needs to be "wiped off" from rule and its citizens re-educated on how to properly co-exist w/ the rest of the world in harmony.

I'm looking for the pillsbery doughboy when he poops.?


Whats the best way to deal with this situation...?

Losing a close relative takes considerable time for the person to grieve and heal. Make sure she knows that you're there for her if she would like to talk, and call her or visit every so often ( twice a week sounds good ), just so she knows you're still her friend. Practice being a good listener, and never, ever tell her to "snap out of it." People grieve and heal at their own rates and cannot rush the process.


how many ways are there to remove fluid buildup from behind the knees?

Most rheumatologists and orthopaedists remove fluid from swollen knees by using a needle and sterile technique. Along with the fluid, small pieces of cartilage and inflammatory mediators are sometimes removed. This alone may lessen joint inflammation, but may are opposed to this technique which may even aggravate the condition in some patients and cause further inflammation within 3-7 days.\n\nOther methods include hydrotherapy using combinations of hot and cold water as well as lymphatic drainage which can be performed by a qualified massage therapist.


The best way I have found is to reason with the person.  Show them that by not paying their debt it reflects on their character and integrity with you and others.  There is no telling how many people you will tell about this incident.  We as collectors can be worse then a credit reporting agency.  If the person if not a friend then try the courts or reason with phone calls and again tell them how this affects their business, their character and their standing in the community.  don't be afraid to stand up about what is right.

What meaneth the scripture(Psalms 82:6) Ye are Gods and all of you children of the Most HIgh?

But you have to look at the whole psalm! Especially the last few verses after the one you refer to::\n\n          Psalm 82:6-8  I have said, Ye are gods; \n          and all of you are children of the most \n          High. 7  But ye shall die like men, and \n          fall like one of the princes. 8  Arise, O \n          God, judge the earth: for thou shalt \n          inherit all nations. \n\nFirst, remember the word eloheem, here (mis-)translated as 'gods,' actually means 'powers.' Gd is reminding the people that they see themselves as the Powerful, perhaps even god-like in their power, but they shall nevertheless, die as all men do, and especially so because of their immorality.

Do it.\nAnd start getting ready for college.  The ratio is that you should be doing TWO hours of homework for every hour of class work in college.

why does england have so many of these classic cars?

Early cars started driving on the same side of the street as the horse carriages of the day traveled on. Other countries generally followed the country they were a colony of (e.g. India/Pakistan follow British custom).\n\nEngland has so many classic cars because they hardly mass produce any new real cars anymore. They used to build a lot of crap, and their industry died out, just as GM and Ford are dinosaurs.\n\nImran


A personal home equity loan is when you take a loan against the value of your house.  For example, if you house is worth $100,000, and it has been fully paid off (i.e. no mortgage), then a bank will let you take a loan against that value (potentially up to $100,000 although it's rare you would get a loan for the full value).  If you can't/don't pay back the loan, then the bank essentially owns your house.

Quitting doesn't make always make you a failure.  Sometime it is necessary to quite one course of action in order to continue with another.  Sometimes quitting can be a sign of strength.\n\nThe same can be said of failing.  If you try something and it doesn't work you failed, but your not a failure.  Nobody's perfect.  You can do everything right the first time.  The difference is a failure never tries again.

I'm quite sure the last day of the Mayan calender is December 21, 2012.  This is the date of the alien invasion in X-Files canon.  You can find out more information by going to wikipedia.org and doing a search for '2012'.  However, it is more likely than not that the calendar 'ends' because this just happened to be the end of one of their large cycles, and not because they really thought the world was going to end at this time.

As you may know Henry Kissinger, US Secretary of State under Presidents Nixon & Ford says "Oil is much too important a commodity to be left in the hands of the Arabs.---" and it is really one of the places that Israel helps US, they are always afraid of Israel and they spend lots of money buying military equipment and support.\nYou must know that Israel has one the most advanced armies in middle east and US provides it the most advanced weapons e.g. F-16 aircraft which Israel even improve it also a huge Nuke warehouse and this army has done many operations for US, In Operation Yonathan (originally known as the Entebbe raid or Operation Thunderbolt), Israeli commandos freed French and Israeli hostages and wiped out most of the air forces of Uganda. They also rescued all but one hostage (shot accidently) and with only one casualty, the leader, Yoni.\nLong time ago Middle East was where three known continents contact each other so everyone who was dreaming about conquering the world had passed middle east e.g. Alexander the Great, Chingiz the Mongol. \nToday there is no such limits so the only reason that middle east is a strategic point in OIL.\nFact is Oil cant be produced in an unstable country because it is flamable itself and need lots of pipeline to transfer so there must be stable countries in unstable atmosphere.\nThats the greatest Help Israel gives US\nWhat reported on Media is something for common people who think Iraq had a main role in 9/11(which is proved false) but US helps for Israel isn't classified e.g. Israel have requested 1.2 billion dollars from US for their August withdrawal from the Gaza Strip, which is "supplemental" to Israel's foreign aid share of 3-4 billion

how can i get email addresses of yahoo users to advertise my company?

I believe that there is a Yahoo Business contact that has information like that. Though I would guess that it is not free. Or there are places in the US that gather information of a consumer based on their internet usage and such. They have been in the news in recent months due to security breaches, Sorry I don't recall the name. Those would be the places that I would look for that kind of information.

When is enough internet security enough?

Whoever says one AV protection (especially Norton) is enough to keep you safe is wrong.  The problem is that there is so much new malware being created every day that having only particular vendor protect you is never enough.  I recommend a battery of protection:\n\nSpybot Search and Destroy\nAd-aware\nFree Version of Avast (great antivirus)\nFirefox instead of IE\nand good surfing habits. \nUpdate windows when new patches are released! (very very important)\n\nI wrote a tutorial a while back about it here:\n\nhttp://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial82.html

who is the founder of nanotechnology and it's history?

In the Beginning: Richard Feynman\n\nIn 1959, theoretical physicist Richard Feynman asked a couple of questions: "Why cannot we write the entire 24 volumes of the Encyclopedia Brittanica on the head of a pin?" He also asked, "I put this out as a challenge: Is there no way to make the electron microscope more powerful?" \n\nNo doubt the folks of the American Physical Society at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) were not only puzzled but also intrigued. Actually, Feynman upped the ante on his “…on the head of pin” question by asking why we simply couldn’t store every book ever written in the same amount of space. \n\nThe talk Feynman gave was later published in the February 1960 issue of Caltech's Engineering and Science, which many say represents the first introduction to nanotechnology. Feynman never used the word “nanotechnology.” \n\nThe full transcript of his talk, entitled, “There's Plenty of Room at the Bottom,” is available at http://www.zyvex.com/nanotech/feynman.html \n\nFeynman further speculated that since we already knew cells were capable of manufacturing processes and doing other things, why then, couldn’t humans manufacture things at the same level? He took the question further and asked why we couldn’t manufacture not only at the cellular level, but better yet, at the atomic level. \n\nComputers were so large they filled entire rooms. Was there a way to miniaturize them? Well, a few microchips and a few decades later, we did just that. \n\nBut it was in 1974 Tokyo Science University professor Norio Taniguchi coined the term “nanotechnology.” So “nano” was well on its way already in competing with “micro.” \n\n............
