I have a Dell laptop, it keeps shutting down ,(overheating) does any one know a good solution?

Are you overclocking it? if so, stop. If not, check to make sure the fan is functioning properly. If it's not, and it's still under warranty, contact dell and get em to fix it. If it's not under warranty, a quick solution is to have a large fan blowing on it. Then, consider replacing the fan entirely.

You need to check your filter in the air intake of your air system, if it hasn't been changed recently you need to change it there only a couple of bucks their are more expensive ones. Take out the one you have take it with you to the hardwares store. You might have allergies. They are pretty common during the spring time. Don't sleep with your windows open. Pollen could play a big part in your swelling and irritation if you live in an area that has budding trees or flowers. Use eye drops that are hydrating drops. Put a humidifier in your room if the air is dry. Change your pillow cases at least a couple times a week and air out your pillows. If symptoms persist I would recommend that you see a doctor. You could have a sinus infection and may need antibiotics.


Go to the library and get a video or a book. In general soccer has forwards, midfielders, and defenders. Some people call defenders fullbacks, stoppers, sweepers, or something else. There is also a goalie who may be known as the keeper--the goalkeeper. Hope this helps.

How can a contortionist bend their bodies backwards so tightly without breaking any bones?

there is no realation between bones and contortion but muscles are the point.We have so many muscles that have bullied us. Coming from the other extreme, some people have ignored some important strength building muscles.In order to stretch to our greatest capacity, it is tremendously important to focus on several places in the body at once.Learning this and other routes through our legs and arms, for example, can totally change the way we feel while stretching. We can direct our energy with much more efficiency and make certain that every exercise we do gives us its full benefit.

Why are Christians the only ones who feel that they need do force their religions on?

I guess they think they will get more cookies at snack time for the more people they recruit.  But they aren't the only ones.  I keep getting recruitment letters from  Muslims as well, 'trying to make me understand'.  HA!  Not happening and I tell them that.  It just seems like Christians do it most because, especially in the US, they have the most followers.  I don't think they really realize they are just driving us further away.


Is "ought" a word?  if so what is the meaning?

You ought to know if its a word or not. Don't you have a dictionary?\n\nUsed to indicate obligation or duty: You ought to work harder than that. \nUsed to indicate advisability or prudence: You ought to wear a raincoat. \nUsed to indicate desirability: You ought to have been there; it was great fun. \nUsed to indicate probability or likelihood: She ought to finish by next week. \n\nNext time do your own homework.


what do you mean by "frame of reference" in physics.?

Frame of reference is essentially the frame of the observer. Say you are watching a train moving on the tracks from the outside..then for you the frame of reference is the outside of the train, but say an armadillo is watching the same train but is also simultaneously hitching a ride on it, then its frame of reference is inside the train. To make this clearer, frame of reference is the position of the observation post. \n\nA good example to make frame of reference clearer follows:\n\nSay there are two trains running side by side with the same speed. A person who is inside one of the trains looks out the window and sees the other train at rest, because from where he's watching or his frame of reference, the train isn't moving (concept of relative velocity), but for an observer outside, the train is obviously moving with some speed, because HIS frame of reference is at rest with respect to the train.\n\nI hope I have made myself clear.\nAyerhs

Is affermitave action actually helpful to African-Americans( Black People)?

i believe affirmative action should be used to get a qualified   persons foot in the door. if not encouraged or ordered some companies, businesses etc.. would not provide minorities an opportunity to work. but once a person is hired i believe they should be promoted etc..on their own merit. i do not believe in special exams and test for certain people.. and i feel the employment test should pertain to the job. an intelligent person would want to hire the best man or woman for the job no matter what color..ethnic or religion.also the staff should be representative of the clients...at some point, if a diversed group of people eat at a restuarant than a diverse group should work at the restuarant,   how u understand..that getting in is everyones concern.. staying in or moving up is your own.


In humans, there is an age-related drop in certain kinds of learning, but an interesting increase in other types of learning, such as social-situational skill.  In rats and mice, there is a drop in memory ability both sensory and motor.  Commonly used tests for humans are the mini-mental state test, or even more simply just an IQ test.  For rodent, many tests are available depending on what you want to measure.  There is avoidance testing, in which a negative motivation in present (this is usually a small shock to the foot, loud noise, or bright light), there are radial-arm mazes with rewards or avoidance, the Barne's maze (usually used for mice), and the classic water maze, in which a platform is present underneath the (cloudy) water.  If using a mouse, I would choose 1 month old, for very early adult (usually the best learning) 3 months for mid adult, and 6 months for late middle age-perhaps 9 months for a really old mouse.  Increase the ages by 1.5X for rats (so 6 weeks, 4.5 months, 9 months, etc).

is there any role in the pharma industry for an MBA, who has done MBBS?

There are certainly opportunities in the pharma industry for an MBA who has done an MBBS. \n\nYou may enjoy the role of managing the research process of a lab, etc. This will put your managerial skills and skills & intuition as a doctor. This role will give you opportunities in product development.\n\nAlternatively you may opt for a role in the sales/marketing domain. For one you may manage the sales network of the organisation directly (say, manage sales executives who sell to pharmacies). You might also choose to be in-charge of managing a team of agents who call on doctors, and encourage the doctors to use products of the specific organisation. A role in marketing may also entail collection of primary data from outlets and doctors that will provide research inputs & requirements for the labs.\n\nYou indeed have several exciting opportunities in the field!

how come when i burn a music cd on my computer it only plays on my computer and not in another cd player?

so many factors…\n\nBurning Mode: you have to burn it as a audio CD, not data. Disc burn as data or a mp3 disc will hold more songs but will NOT play on devices like car or home audio systems.\n\nDisc Type: some players can't read CD-RW, only CD-R discs. Simple enough.\n\nThe Deal Killer - DRM : You chose the audio CD as the burning mode to burn onto a CD-R. Now Content Protection (DRM) can be standing in your way of playing your music when and where you want to.\n\nConverting your .mp3 file to .wma will not only limit where, when and on what device you can play your music  but it can possibly degrade your music when you want to convert it back to a more open format.\n\nKeep your files .mp3 or .wav and burn audio cds.


How to get rich? Can you get rich by selling stuff on Ebay?

Buying from garage sales and selling on eBay is fun, and good getting a few dollars here and there from ebay. Sometimes, you luck out on an item and hit big, but many times it will just be so-so (assuming you can even get the price you paid for it). In terms of fun factor, it is great. But from a business stand-point, it is not. Not sustainable.\n\nIf you want to earn serious money from eBay, you need to have a well-thought out business model. Selling on ebay is getting tougher -- just look at the number of auctions that closes without a bid. Go to the boards on ebay and you will hear even oldtimers complaining about how stiffer competition plus higher fees make it so much harder to sell on ebay.\n\nOne success model of ebay is the couple Jay and Marie Senese (username jayandmarie) of the 1-cent CD fame. They have the highest positive feedback number of all sellers on eBay. Their business model is to buy very low cost CDs in bulk (those that CD stores sell in their discount bins) and offer them on ebay at a starting price of 1 cent http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/04_23/b3886080.htm Their success is based on the fact that they stumbled on a sustainable business model with products that people really want. They sold their business -- where else but on ebay -- for $5 million! Now that is success.


What do I do about this boy I adore when I'm leaving for college far away...?

i personally feel that the two of you should try and stay in contact you know be friends. this way it gives you and him the chance to develop a relationship on a higher level....communication. who's to say that he is the one for you, you might find out in the long run that he wasn't the correct choice for you and because you are taking the time to get to know him mentally you will  more than likely have no regrets. and if its meant to be he'll be there for you. plus the relationship will be a strong one because you took the time to get to know each other.  lastly even though you are going away to school you do get breaks and time off to go see your love ones...this can be the time you spend with him to catch up on the time you spent apart.


I dont get nervuos when im with girls but... i dont know what 2 talk about, can some1 help me?

Talk about her. Ask her questions about her.\n\nWhat do you do?\nWhere do you go to school?\nHave you ever been to a rock concert?\nWhat are your favorite subjects in school? Least?\nHave you seen any new movies?\nWould you rather go shopping or get a manicure?\nWhat's your favorite car and why?\nWhat's your favorite food?\n\nMost people are not willing to admit that they like talking about themselves. :-D\n\nDon't ask about past relationships and ex-boyfriends. She might go on a rant or rave about them. Relationship topics is a BIG no-no when it comes to first conversations.


Every body says that his or her Religion is the Best.Can anybody explain to me?Why it is like this?

Well, I don't think everybody says this about their religion.  I don't really follow a religion but feel my spiritual beliefs are best for me, not necessarily for someone else.  I feel other religions and beliefs are good for their followers as long as they are sincere.  \n\nThe only religion that seems to claim it is the only way is Christianity in my experience.  And then within Christianity all the different churches separate themselves with exclusive claims to this or that.  Though, I know several Christians that are very accepting and respectful of other beliefs.  So why are some so pushy?  I think it's because of money and power behind the scenes and from argumentative to sincere concern from its followers.  Unfortunately, it's the   \npeople behind the scenes that have set up the followers to believe a certain way (all so they can get more money and power) which causes them to act in a righteous or zealous way.  \n\nOf course, there are extremist in other religions, such as Islam.  But again the true religion of Islam is very spiritual and loving and it's only the extremist regimes looking for power and control that convince their followers to do what they do and that it is the right way to God.

Warning, superficial question coming at you, Guys does it matter to you if a woman's breasts are real or fake?

I think it depends on the guy -- whether or not he is superficial.  For me, being a guy, I like women with natural breasts, even if they're small.  Dating a woman with fake breasts is ok, but it would inevitably become a turn off every time we make out ("Damn, I'm squeezing fake titties... I hope they don't pop..." etc.)\n\nAs for weighing in fake vs. natural, from a medical perspective, there are lots of problems and things that can go wrong with implants.  For one, a botched job can have fake breasts ending down on a lady's tummy, or worse, swollen and infected.  There was a special on Entertainment Tonight about botched breast jobs, and one of the ladies had so many repeat surgeries, her nipple rotted and fell off.  Even with a good job, breast implants may cause back pains, and tenderness.\n\nIt's understandable if it is seriously a quality of life issue, but otherwise, my opinion is that it is a waste of money and too much trouble for what it's worth.


How do sherriff sales work? Are you responeable for any of the back monies that are due?

Who are "you" in this question?  The original owner of the property?\n\nWhat happens is:  The sheriff seizes and sells the property of someone who owes money.  The money made from the sale goes to pay off the person who is owed money, and any left over goes to the person who owed the money and was the owner of the property that was taken and sold.


if you have a problem with the neck will it make your arms hurt?

Yes.  Different nerves run to different parts of the shoulder or arm.  I recommend you go to a physiotherapist, and tell the person exactly where it hurts, and what makes the pain worse or better.  They often take several visits to do much good, so be prepared for that.\n\nThey may use manipulation, heat, ultrasound and / or massage, to relieve the pain.  They should describe exercises for you to do, in between seeing them.\n\nPersonally, I generally just resort to analgesics and wait for it to settle of its own accord, but I have gone to a physiotherapist, for a few problems, over the years.

What's the best surveying method to use when leveling for a dist. of 1.4 miles?

It all depends on the accuracy you want. If you are trying to obtain first order work I would use differential leveling with a closed loop to check closure.\nTrigonometric leveling is only good for short distances and gps still has some accuracy problem. However, it you in the middle of nowhere (desert, natural wilderness) then you should consider gps. \nBut as I mentioned before, for the best results, highest order, and if you are in an urban setting I’d go for differential leveling with a closed loop to check closure.


how do you prepare your self for a soccer tournament?

If your team is in the competition, continue drills, lots of hydration the week before (definitely have every player at LEAST double-up on water), make sure you have your roster set. Scope out teams that you can.\n\nFor watching? Take some notes on the really good plays you see, and practice them the next time you possibly can.


can some boot my computer remotly over internet?

Just some thoughts:  In general, the answer is NO.  But, it is possible for you to have a private virus that you unknowingly installed by clicking yes to some pop-up\nwindow.  The virus was written by the person on the chat and\nmade just for you.  It examines your cookie folder for\nsome certain bit of information and when it finds it, it does what it was supposed to trigger, such as shutdown your\ncomputer, etc.  This is just a hypothetical example.\nA true expert can do just about anything.\n\nBy the way, to "boot" your computer means to start it, not\n"shut-off" or "freeze" your computer.  There are systems\nfor starting computer remotely, but you need to have configured them yourself and have a motherboard that supports that feature.


What is the name of the song with the lyrics beginning "LISTEN TO THE RHYTHM OF THE POURING RAIN"?

Well, with respects to the other answers, the title is actually "Rhythm of the Rain", recorded by the Cascades in '62 (reaching No. 3 in '63).\n\nListen to the rhythm of the falling rain,\nTelling me just what a fool I've been.\nI wish that it would go and let me cry in vain,\nAnd let me be alone again.\n\nNow the only girl I've ever loved has gone away.\nLooking for a brand new start!\nBut little does she know that when she left that day.\nAlong with her she took my heart.\n\nRain, please tell me, now does that seem fair\nFor her to steal my heart away when she don't care\nI can't love another, when my heart's somewhere far away.\n\nRain, won't you tell her that I love her so\nPlease ask the sun to set her heart aglow\nRain in her heart and let the love we know start to grow.

Besides going to a doctor, is there any other way to find out if you have eating disorder?

There are different reasons why people have eating disorders. Some may have one if they think they're fat, and they want to lose weight, and others may have one if they want a sense of control in their life, and in result they starve theirself and don't eat, or throwup. Also, if someone's really stressed/depressed and just don't eat because of it you could also have an eating disorder. If you see that you're losing wieght rapidly, and then once you eat something, you gain weight really quicky, that could also be an indicator.

Kentucky\n\nIn the fall of 1808, Thomas and Nancy Lincoln settled on the 348 acre Sinking Spring Farm. Two months later on February 12, 1809, Abraham Lincoln was born in a one-room log cabin near the Sinking Spring. Here the Lincolns lived and farmed before moving to land a few miles away at Knob Creek. The area was established by Congress on July 17, 1916. An early 19th century Kentucky cabin, symbolic of the one in which Lincoln was born, is preserved in a memorial building at the site of his birth.


NO!!! Unless your landlord has gone through the procedures (i.e. the court system) to remove you from your apartment for nonpayment of rent or any other breech of the lease, they CANNOT constructively evict you.  Call the Attorney General's office and ask them for a tenant's rights guide and in the meantime get some bolt cutters and cut the lock.  Of course, if your landlord DID go through eviction proceedings in court, you're out of luck.


As the Pittsburgh Penguins have picked the 2nd pick in next years NHL draft, who will they take?

I say Erik Johnson if the Blues don't take him.  He is the consensus #1 prospect this year and would give us a legitimate blue-chip prospect on defense to compliment Crosby, Malkin, Whitney, Welch, and Fleury.  \n\nIf he's gone by the 2nd pick, which is very likely, I say we take Kessel.  The next several prospects ranked below EJ are Kessel, Staal, Toews, and Backstrom.  For these guys, their is no consensus on who is going to be better than who.  They are ALL centers and that is a problem for us--we have Crosby, Malkin, and Malone already with Christensen and Stone in the pipeline. We have to decide out of these possible draftees the one we think will project into a NHL winger the best.  The answer, in that case, is Kessel--his speed and shot would make him a good choice at wing.  His success is mainly from his physical talent, rather than hockey sense.  He is a very risky, but very high reward prospect. He could turn into the poor man's Pavel Bure or as easily become the next Alexandre Daigle. \n\nSupposedly, Mark Malone, the head scout, is really high on Jordan Staal--the third of the Staal brothers.  From what little video I've seen of him, I just don't find him all that impressive.  He doesn't remind me of Eric that much, but who knows, the bloodline is definitely there.\n\nJonathan Toews (pronounced Taves), is probably a good guy to take if you want the "safest" pick.  If he doesn't pan out at  his natural position of center, or even as a winger, his two-way game and grit can make him a good third-liner as well.\n\nBackstrom, a Swedish prospect playing in the SEL, is the oldest of the bunch and has been called the "next Forsberg".  I don't know much about him, but he would probably be the most NHL ready, as he is already playing against grown men. He is supposedly under contract with his SEL team for another two years though.


Does anyone want to start a part time biz ?

hi,\nI am interseted in having business in part time but here u have not mention anything else so if you are keen to this contact me at\nvipin gupta\n9911377464


There are two ways that I am familiar with and that are safe.  One is anti-fog gel made especially for divers and snorklers.  Its somewhat pricey depending on where you live.  The other, believe it or not, is toothpaste. take a small dollup on your fingertip.  You dont NEED alot.  Then rub it on the inside of your googles so it makes them white and filmy.  Let it dry, and then rinse and wash them off.  It works.  If you use too much it will bother your eyes as will the anti-fog gel so DONT OVER DUE IT. If you want to try it on your bathroom mirror when you shower the next time feel free.  Follow the same steps.

i just got two of the snarkiest answers imaginable-why do people come to a site ostensibly to help someone?

The most important thing about a question is to understand the question.  It is difficult to answer why questions because there are so many variables.  So may I suggest that you focus more on WHAT.  What do you want?\n\nWhen we have expectations, we open ourselves up for disappointment.  At a site such as this, there are people who genuinely care to help and show respect.  Concentrate on those of us are do it right, and simply ignore those who must vent.  Remember, treat people nicer than they sometimes treat you.

Are there free mental health resources in Portland, OR?

Hi,\n\nFist of all, yes, free mental health treatment exists.  It is usually through the county and community centers and, like all free treatment, there is usually a wait.  If you would like to find out about places like this in your community, you should call the "crisis line or suicide hotline" (the number is usually on the first page of the phonebook)  - you DO NOT have to be sucicidal to call.  It's just that those people are trained counselors, they know all the resources of the city and could give you some quick telephone numbers and/or guide you in the right direction.\n\nOther ideas:  Since you are a student, you may qualify for free or practically free mental health visits (depending on your student health plan and how big your university is).  I would check this out for sure.  Most student have student health insurance and don't even know it.  Most campuses have a health clinic.\n\nRegarding the fact that you are on your mother's health insurance in California, it may cost you a little more to see a therapist up there, but you can still do it and the therapist can bill her insurance.  If you go through the Kaiser system up there, you might not have to pay anything extra at all.  Since Kaiser is Kaiser in every state (unlike other insurance) maybe you'll be completely covered.  Call Kaiser to ask.  There should be a number for mental health services on your insurance card, or just call the local Kaiser hospital or clinic.  If you want to keep this confidential from your mother, make sure to mention that and see what their procedure is for that situation.\n\nLastly, support groups are a WONDERFUL help to so many people, they are totally free and YOU DON'T HAVE TO TALK.  It is totally up to you if you want to share something or not.  Don't be afraid to go.  However, unlike a lot of people, I think you do have some other options you should try first - maybe in this order:  Kaiser, student health, criis line, self-help groups.  \n\nNo matter what, you will be able to find what you need.  Just hang in there and be patient - sometimes people on the phone don't know what they are talking about, so if it doesn't make sense, ask to speak to the supervisor or call back and try to get a different person.\n\nI hope this helps and I am glad that you are making the efforts to get support for yourself in a new city - that's intimidating, but you know people in Portland are basically nice, right? :)\n\nTake care... I wish you well...

How to set a restitution hearing straight so I don't end up in jail ???????

What should you do? First, learn how stupid it is to drink and DRIVE! Now that we have the moron part out of the way, take the money you have, and HIRE AN ATTORNEY!!! You cannot do this on your own. An attorney may can get you probation, and have the restitution set up as payments as a special condition of probation. That is the way things SHOULD go. But after you learn how stupid it is to drive drunk, you need to learn how stupid it is to try to represent yourself in court on such a serious matter. This isn't the people's court you're dealing with. It's the real deal. And trust me. YOU DO NOT WANT TO GO TO JAIL. You won't like it there. Be smart, and hire someone that is smarter.

define price discrimination in marketing and what is the economic rational for such a policy?

The basic rationale behind price discrimination is that the firm can maximize profit by having each of its customers pay the most they are willing to pay for the firm's product (assuming the price at least covers costs).  In the airline business, it will cost you a lot more to buy a ticket 1 day in advance rather than 30.  This is because the people who typically wait until the last minute to purchase airline tickets are willing to pay a lot for them.  By price discriminating certain market segments, like children or the elderly, the firm can encourage certain segments to purchase from the firm.  These segments may cost less in the long run for the firm to serve (middle aged people may be more likely to complain than the elderly, for example) and offering such discounts may make the firm appear to be more socially conscious.

What is the connection between ecstatic gospel songs about salvation and gospel based on soul music about inti

I am not sure about your full question. Are you saying that Gospel music has something in common with "secular" R&B music? (R&B music often being about sex and romance.)  I think there are similarities in the two styles of music. Gospel music uses the same instruments as R&B. Many secular R&B artists have family backgrounds in churches with gospel choirs. It is a legacy in their lives and is where they first cultivate their talents.\n\nGospel music is vibrant and exciting because the singers wish to convey a love for God. That excitement is a common emotion. It's possible for people to be excited about their significant other AND also to feel that similar excitement about God. \n\nIt's probably a matter of personality as well. Some people are naturally reserved and their worship of God is quiet or refined. Others are passionate and their worship of God may be loud, exciting and fun. People tend to like and even perform music that reflects their personality. I hope this helps!

could one tell me a remedy for typhoid fever or the antibiotic  i can buy, from African v common?

Treatment:\nTyphoid fever can be fatal. Antibiotics, such as ampicillin, chloramphenicol, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, and ciprofloxacin, are commonly used to treat typhoid fever in developed countries. Prompt treatment of the disease with antibiotics reduces the case-fatality rate to approximately 1%. Usage of Ofloxacin along with Lactobacillus acidophilus is also recommended.\n\nWhen untreated, typhoid fever persists for three weeks to a month. Death occurs in between 10% and 30% of untreated cases. Vaccines for typhoid fever are available and are advised for persons traveling in regions where the disease is common (especially Asia, Africa and Latin America). Typhim Vi is an intramuscular killed-bacteria vaccination and Vivotif is an oral live bacteria vaccination, both of which protect against typhoid fever. Neither vaccine is 100% effective against typhoid fever and neither protects against unrelated typhus.\n\nmore facts\n\nTransmission:\nWhile flying insects feeding on feces may occasionally transfer the bacteria to food being prepared for consumption, the disease is most commonly transmitted through poor hygiene habits and public sanitation conditions. Public education campaigns encouraging people to wash their hands after toileting and before handling food are an important component in controlling spread of the disease.\n\nA person may become an asymptomatic carrier of typhoid fever, suffering no symptoms, but capable of infecting others. According to the Centers for Disease Control approximately 5% of people who contract typhoid continue to carry the disease after they recover.\n\nThe most notorious carrier of typhoid fever, but by no means the most destructive, was Mary Mallon, also known as Typhoid Mary. In 1907 she became the first American carrier to be identified and traced. She was a cook in New York at the beginning of the 20th Century. Some believe she was the source of infection for several hundred people. She is closely associated with fifty cases and five deaths. Public health authorities told Mary to give up working as a cook or have her gall bladder removed. Mary quit her job, but returned later under a false name. She was detained and quarantined after another typhoid outbreak. She died of a stroke after 23 years in quarantine.\n\nAfrivan v common... i don't know


When is the 3rd season of laguna beach gonna premiere?!?

Well, seeing as the last two seasons both premiered either mid-July or late July, you should expect the third season to be the same.  The show The Hills comes out in May, too.  That's the one that documents LC's whole escapade with the internship with Teen Vogue.  As for what the third season is about, the new characters are centered around LC's little sister and her friends. That's all I know.

People say heaven or hell, why no mention of new heaven and a new earth?

Earth will be destroyed by fire or by a nuclear war. In support of this belief, some point to Revelation 21:1, which says: “I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the former heaven and the former earth had passed away, and the sea is no more.”\n\nThe Bible often uses the term “earth” in a figurative sense, referring to mankind. An example is found at Genesis 11:1, which says: “All the earth continued to be of one language and of one set of words.” (See 1 Kings 2:1, 2; Psalm 96:1.) At Revelation 21:1, “the former earth” refers, not to this planet, but to wicked human society that will be destroyed. This will open the way for the restoration of Paradise on earth. (Luke 23:43;  Revelation 21:4) And this agrees with the rest of the Bible, which indicates that the literal earth will never be destroyed. For instance, Psalm 104:5 states that God “has founded the earth upon its established places; it will not be made to totter to time indefinite, or forever.” ( Ecclesiastes 1:4.) Indeed, Jehovah ‘formed the earth to be inhabited’ eternally.—Isaiah 45:18.\n\nIn the Christian Greek Scriptures, earthly governments and their peoples are shown to be subject to Satanic rule. \nThe apostle Paul referred to “the wicked spirit forces in the heavenly places,” with their governments, authorities, and world rulers. (Eph 6:12) So the passing away of “the former heaven” indicates the end of political governments along with Satan and his demons. This identification of “the former heaven” harmonizes with the fact that shortly before the statement concerning the ‘former heaven having passed away,’ John had seen a vision of the complete defeat of Satan’s forces and the casting of Satan into “the abyss.” (Re 19:19–20:3) The earthly subjects of Satan’s rule are destroyed prior to his abyssing, as shown at Revelation 19:17, 18.

Which dissolves fastest in water, sugar, salt or flour?

Sugar does because its bonds are non-ionic. Salt has ionic bonds and they are harder to break in order for it to dissolve.\n\nHOWEVER, there are many factors to be considered. fine salt may dissolve faster than a large piece of rock candy. The surface area to weight ratio of the solid plays a huge role in the rate.\n\nOh. And flour isn't very soluble in water.

CAN TREMORS BE ASSOCIATED WITH Diabetes?

Well, nice question really.\n\nDiabetes and tremors could be seen in two contexts.\n\n1.   Diabetes causing tremors itself.\n\n2.   A diabetic getting tremors due to super-imposed other condition.\n\nWell, for first context: Diabetics normally do not have tremors. Tremors in a patient suffering from diabetes alone could be due to "hypo-glycemia" - low blood glucose. Other than that, there is no other reason as to why a diabetic would get tremors.\n\nNow for the second context, it might be some other disorder in addition to diabetes thats causing tremors. This could be as simple a disorder as "anxiety". Most people, when anxious, get tremors and thats almost normal.\nHowever, it could be some other disorder such as disorder of thyroid, brain (Parkinsons), etc.\n\nHaving seen these two contexts, it is also possible for a diabetic to have tremors due to NATURAL reasons. This would include ageing and benign familial tremor. (tremor which runs in families for no obvious reason). \n\nI hope that answers your question.

Every ones been suggesting "V for Vendetta"! So will someone tell me about it, without wrecking it for me?

I Give It A ****4 STARS out of 5\n\n"There is no coincidence, only the illusion of coincidence," gravely says the masked hero of "V for Vendetta" half way through the film. \n\nIt is certainly no coincidence that a film written and produced by Andy and Larry Wachowski of "The Matrix" would feature such dialogue, along with a few impressive action sequences, spectacular pyrotechnics and an always-adept Hugo Weaving. That much is par for the course. \n\nBut the film is notable for the questions it raises. Is it coincidence that the flag for a futuristic London bears a symbol reminiscent of the swastika? That the aforementioned hero – the concisely named V – is, in fact, a terrorist? Or that characters in the film draw noticeable parallels to Western politicians? \n\nUnlike other recent comic-book-based movies, "V for Vendetta" is a political thriller of science-fiction proportions. Set in 2020 in a totalitarian England, rooted in over-the-top commentary of Western government and riddled with visual metaphors, "Vendetta" is successfully both action-packed and politically confrontational. \n\nBased on the graphic novel created by Alan Moore and David Lloyd, the film begins and ends with the Nov. 5 fireworks celebration of Guy Fawkes Day. Fawkes, a Catholic conspirator who tried to blow up Parliament in 1605 and was eventually hanged, serves as an ongoing symbol throughout the film and an inspiration for V and his deeds. \n\nThe plot follows the masked murderer as he skillfully and systematically avenges what we learn is a painful personal history in a neofascist state of Big-Brother-like laws run by Chancellor Adam Sutler (John Hurt). And though V's vendetta against his society is innately personal, it becomes one of universal importance, first enthralling the strong-minded Evey (Natalie Portman) and eventually the entire city. \n\nEven as his face is hidden by the mask's disturbing smile, Weaving ("The Lord of the Rings," "The Matrix") plays V convincingly. His rich and charismatic voice conveys an interplay of sarcastic wit and gleeful malevolence. The actor's background in stage drama undoubtedly informs the theatrical movements of a man who views society as his own personal stage. \n\nThough Portman loses her flowing locks halfway through the film, her performance only gains intensity. Her English accent isn't faultless, but she continues her knack of emerging as the heart of her films. \n\nDespite these performances and a remarkably intelligent script, "Vendetta" is mostly devoid of human emotion. The story may be character-based, but London 2020 is conspicuously inhuman. Giant speakers line the streets announcing the nightly curfew. Television, more than human contact, is the most prominent method of communication. Any controversial, multifaceted remnants of human history have been banned – anyone who owns an African statue or a copy of the Koran is a sinner at best. \n\nThus, though it carefully investigates issues of morality, tyranny and individuality and sometimes delves into the personal and painful histories of its characters, the film does not elicit emotional reaction until its climax, when the anxiety building throughout the film is suddenly and finally relieved. \n\nUltimately, given a powerfully fitting musical score by Dario Marianelli ("Pride and Prejudice"), vibrant cinematography by the late Adrian Biddle ("Aliens" & "The Mummy") and a restrained downplay of special effects, "V for Vendetta" is downright strange – quietly discomforting, yet refreshingly provocative.

Where can I find thank you letters for job consideration for an open job position?

You should write this yourself.  A canned response will look canned, though it may be better than nothing.\n\nSome tips:\n\nUnless your handwriting is terrible, write it out in longhand.\n\nThank the interviewer for their time.  If the interview was an enjoyable experience, say so!\n\nExpress your interest in the position.  \n\n          -OR-\n\nIf it became clear that the job wasn't what you are looking for, politely say so and ask for future consideration for a position that you are a better fit for.  (I got three job offers with this ploy -- it's pure gold!)\n\nTouch on a qualification that was missed during the interview.\n\nKeep it to a single page.\n\nPost it the day of the interview if at all possible; never later than the next day..  If you had to travel any distance for the interview, post it locally so that they get it the next day.\n\nFrom personal experience, both as a job candidate and an interviewer, most job seekers skip this critical step.  I always sent a thank-you note and always got a job offer!  When I asked why I was chosen, the thank-you note was always at the top of the list of reasons.\n\nAs an interviewer with hiring authority, a candidate who sends a thank-you note goes to the top of the pile when we sit down to review the applicants and make a hiring decision.  If several people follow up with the thank-you note, I set up two piles -- one with thank-you notes and one without.  I've never made an offer from the no-note pile!\n\nEven if the interview went poorly, or if it became clear during the interview that the position wasn't what you were looking for, send the note anyway.  They may have another position that you're a better fit for, or may know of a firm that you would fit in with better.  Hiring managers do share information like this amongst themselves and are always interested in people who show a bit of class.  Nothing shows class better than a timely thank-you note!

Why do planes and boats dissappear in the Bermuda triangle?

Bermuda Triangle - Devil's Triangle\n \n \n \nEarth Grid - Vortexes - Devil's Triangle - Bermuda Triangle\nThis area has a high degree of electromagnetic energy and is often thought of as a portal - vortex - or wormhole to somewhere off planet Earth. It has stirred the imagination of many writers and those who think beyond physical Earth. \nMetaphysics: Many people believe that the Bermuda Triangle houses the famous lost city of Atlantis which is another grid reality running parallel to our experience in 3D Earth. No evidence has been brought forth to prove this theory, but many claim to have felt the powers of the lost city. \nThere have been theories about aliens using the portals to visit the planet. \nThe area is shaped like a pyramid because the area is a major grid point of energy linked to one of 12 ethereal pyramids that create the matrix of our reality. \nThe term Bermuda Triangle was first used in an article written by Vincent H. Gaddis for Argosy Magazine in 1964. In the article Gaddis claimed that in this strange sea a number of ships and planes had disappeared without explanation. Gaddis wasn't the first one to come to this conclusion, either. As early as 1952 George X. Sands, in a report in Fate Magazine, noted what seemed like an unusually large number of strange accidents in that region. \nIn 1969 John Wallace Spencer wrote a book called Limbo of the Lost specifically about the triangle. \nTwo years later, a feature documentary on the subject, 'The Devil's Triangle', was released. \nThese, along with the bestseller The Bermuda Triangle, published in 1974, permanently registered the legend of the "Hoodoo Sea" within popular culture. \nSeveral books suggested that the disappearances were due to an intelligent, technologically advanced race living in space or under the sea. \nPhenomena noted in the area of the Bermuda Triangle - a glowing 'white water' scanned from satellites and a glowing green fog. \nIn the past 100 years, the Bermuda Triangle has been known to have claimed over 1000 lives. \nThe first legends of the Bermuda Triangle begin already with Christopher Columbus. As a captain, he was greatly respected, and his brave sailing efforts helped revolutionize the world. Much of the information we have about Columbus is picked up directly from his journal, so we are able to trace his footsteps to the New World. His first problem occurred as he ran into the Sargasso Sea. \n \nThe Sargasso Sea\nIt resides in the east of the triangle in the middle of the Atlantic. It houses a few small islands and masses of clumped floating seaweed. A warm water current within it swirls clockwise, affecting the weather of the area, keeping it calm and steamy. Having little wind, this area greatly affects unpowered ships. Christopher Columbus wrote in his diary of this sea. In fact, it so fooled his crew that it almost led them to mutiny. The possibility exists of never leaving this legendary sea. Another fascinating feature of this sea is its ability to draw things in from all over the Atlantic. Some even claim it to be the "catch-basin" of the Atlantic. \nThe crew was greatly disappointed when seaweed and land birds were sighted, but after a few days no land was to be seen. Soon after, Columbus reported his compass acting strangely. He did not report this to his crew due to their deep superstitions. Days later, Columbus saw a large meteor fall from the sky. He described it as "a large ball of light fallen from the sky." It is unsure whether he mentions this occurrence in awe, because of its great size, or in fright. Later in their trip, Columbus and a few crew members sighted a few dancing lights on the horizon. They wandered about in the Caribbean for over a week yet before sighting land. Since Columbus, as many as 100 ships and planes have been reported missing, taking over 1000 lives. \nThe U. S. Board of Geographic Names does not recognize the Bermuda Triangle as


does glucose act as a hypoglycaemic?e.g in treatment of diabetic hypoglycaemia?

Glucose is a hyperglycemic it increases the BGL. It is used for diabetic hypo. In normal people this increase in glucose level stimulates insulin so the level falls. Its a balance between insulin, lowering blood glucose and other hormones like glucagon, adrenalin,steroids which increase the glucose level. Insulin is absent or low or ineffective in Diabetics so there is hyperglycemia. in diabetes--hypo occurs when you take the pill or shot and dont have food. the blood sugar falls dangerously low and the patient faints. The brain needs glucose 24*7. if there isnt glucose for 8 min or so there will be brain damage. In that case u give glucose IV and/or glucagon.

Can anyone tell me anything about Li Bai?

Li Bai or Li Po (701-762) was a Chinese poet who lived during the Tang Dynasty.\n\nHis name was traditionally pronounced Li Bo or Li Po (depending on the romanisation), hence the familiar name Li Po by which he has long been known in the West. However, the use of the pronunciation 'bó' (pinyin romanisation), originally associated with the reading of Classical Chinese, has largely disappeared in modern China, partly as a result of language planning and standardisation.\n\nCalled the Poet Immortal, Li Bai is often regarded, along with Du Fu, as one of the two greatest poets in China's literary history. Approximately 1,100 of his poems remain today. The Western world was introduced to Li Bai's works through the very liberal translations of Japanese versions of his poems made by Ezra Pound.\n\nLi Bai is best known for the extravagant imagination and striking Taoist imagery in his poetry, as well as for his great love for liquor. Like Du Fu, he spent much of his life travelling, although in his case it was because his wealth allowed him to, rather than because his poverty forced him. He is said to have drowned in the Yangtze River, having fallen from his boat while drunkenly trying to embrace the reflection of the moon.


What are evaporites?  In terms of plate tectonics, when and why do they form?

Evaporites are minerals dissolved in seawater (or freshwater) that are deposited in a certain sequence, when and if the water evaporates to the point where the minerals become insoluble.\n\nSince I figure this is a HW question, I'll only give you a hint for the second part of the question:  think "Gulf of Mexico."


At equilibrium, we have this below relationship between K and the concentration of all species.\n     \n　　　　　　　　　　　　　[H2]^2 [O2]\n　　　　　　　　　　　K= ----------------\n　　　　　　　　　　　　　　[H2O]^2\n\nSo we could get the answer by solving this equation.


Was the U.S. Senate justified in rejecting the Treaty of Versailles?

If you purchased your laptop directly from someone like Dell or IBM, then it should have come with a "recovery disc" or something to that affect.  Insert the disc and it should walk you through it.  If you have any tough questions, call the manufacturer.

Burn anything you want to save - you will loose everything!\n2. Find a copy of Windows (make sure you have a CD-key BEFORE you start) and broadband access.\n3. Either run the CD or boot to it and begin formatting your hard drive.\n4. Create 2 patitions on your hard drive - one for windows and the other for documents, music, games...\n5. After install, check Microsoft's website for updates.  You may have to do this 3 or 4 times.\n6. Reinstall all other programs and software.\n\nThis is the "Cliff Notes" version.

What is the source of an atom's electronegativity?

I see it this way, when and atom it's close to get his 8 covalent electrons, it' easy for it to attract more electrons (It needs less!), that's why the last column it's practically inactive, their outer atoms are fulfilled already

i need a friend please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?


have u ever had sex with some one and then wished u dident ever talk to the person?

sure did and the bad thing about it is I have to talk to him for the next 18 years because that 1 night ended up in me getting pregnant and yes I was on birthcontrol and used foam and everything... so I guess in retrospec yes we all have thought with the wrong head a few times


I shoot about 1 over par per hole with low club speed what ball is right 4 me?

The Callaway HX Hot golf balls are actually pretty decent for your money. And even though most people think bigger is better, if you shoot over 100 you might want to think about using a driver with a smaller head.  You probably hit a high slice with a head that big because it's a lot harder to get it through the ball with a low-swing speed. A smaller head will also help to increase your swing-speed.


where can i find drawing's  of ancient roman wedding gowns from 49 B.C.?

You're best avenue will probably be a public library or museum.


are conspiracies everywhere, or are people just paranoid?

Conspiracy-a planning or acting secretively,esp.for an unlawful or harmful purpose,such as murder or treason.\n\nParanoid-characterized by extreme suspiciousness,grandiose,delusions,or delusions of persecution.\n\nOk,Starting from the bottom again! :) I made up my mind by looking up the definitions in my dictionary just to make it clear to myself that I can make an informed decision.\n\nI know now that I am definitely NOT paranoid! WHEW!!! Good to know that!\n\nI don't believe that conspiracies or conspirators are extremely prevalent EVERYWHERE. There are instances or occurrences that happen,and personally I think the news and other media sources play it up all they can. Who knows! Do they want us all to be paranoid? I for one will not let that happen. I don't think I have even a suspicious nature to my personality. Who knows again! Maybe I'm just being naive?!


how many people think it is alright for a guy to date a girl 5 years older?

There is nothing wrong. You are 20. \n\nCompatibility? Now it will look good but when you get older you will be 25 and she will be 30, When you are at 35 she will be in 40. So marrage will be a issue as you will be in the phase of exploring and she will be in the phase of settling and will you be able to form a family. \n\nMan of the house has loooot of responsibility and very rarely womens would like to take the role and if your woman is willing to take the role then there wont be a problem, if not then there is a big problem. A guy gets settle mostly at the age of 35-40 and a woman will have to waite patiently for it and will a 40-45 year old woman be able to be patient? i dont think so as she would like to take some rest.\n\nSex would be fun to start with. But is it just sex alone enough?\n\nI have seen young fathers ending up without knowing what to do as they are young have kids. Divorce- allimony at the age of 30 does it sound good?


Is it normal for your Girl Friend to flirt with other guys in front of you? If not what should i do about it?

Lots of girls will do that.  Its just in some of our nature...the same as some guys.  If it bothers you let her know and she will probably try to cut back.  If she doesn't put in any effort she must not care. In which case I would recommend that you dump her.  But remember sometimes it just comes too natural.


About TIBET - Regarding Non-violence ! (read on)?

Until the invasion of China into Tibet in 1959, Tibet has been a sovereign country for centuries. Being forcefully overrun by an other country is rarely pleasant, but for the Tibetans it turned into a real disaster in the years following the take-over. People died during the invasion, although few Tibetans (being Buddhist) fought. Later consequences of Mao's policies proved devastating to the country.\nFor example, the central Beijing government ordered that certain crops should be grown in Tibet. Many of these crops were simply not suitable for the high altitude climate, resulting in many Tibetans starving to death.\nPossibly the best known disaster is the fact that in Tibet nearly all culture, philosophy and education was tightly related to Buddhism. As in Mao's China religion was considered a poison to the people, Tibetan Buddhism was almost literally wiped out. Of the estimated 6,000 monasteries, nunneries and temples only a handful were not fully destroyed. Monks and nuns were forced to break their vows and often killed if they were not prepared to break them. With the destruction of Buddhism, nearly all of Tibets cultural identity also vanished.\nHis Holiness the Dalai Lama is probably the best known propagator to a peaceful solution for the preservation of Tibetan culture and religion, but the Chinese authorities have managed not only to ignore his efforts, but to virtually bully the rest of the world into silence on the subject. (Often along the lines of: "If you want to trade with us, shut up on human rights." This method even bullied the Americans into submission....)\n\nconsidering china's population & weapons, do you think tibetans can defend themselves, even without buddhism?\n\nCould we say that the non-violent approach of the Buddhist Tibetan poeple may have provoked more violence to themselves, to the point of actually loosing their culture, and the teaching of non-violence in itself ?\n\nWar is out of date, obsolete. (dalai lama)\n1st realization: changing, decaying is inevitable.\n\nMany Buddhists have refused to take up arms under any circumstances, even knowing that they would be killed as a result. The Buddhist code that governs the life of monks permits them to defend themselves, but it forbids them to kill, even in self-defence.\n\nFor Buddhist countries this poses the difficult dilemma of how to protect the rights and lives of their citizens without breaking the principle of nonviolence.\n\nThe pure Buddhist attitude is shown in this story:\n\n    "A Vietnam veteran was overheard rebuking the Vietnamese Buddhist monk, Thich Nhat Hanh, about his unswerving dedication to non-violence.\n\n    'You're a fool' said the veteran 'what if someone had wiped out all the Buddhists in the world and you were the last one left. Would you not try to kill the person who was trying to kill you, and in doing so save Buddhism?!'\n\n    Thich Nhat Hanh answered patiently 'It would be better to let him kill me. If there is any truth to Buddhism and the Dharma it will not disappear from the face of the earth, but will reappear when seekers of truth are ready to rediscover it.\n\n    'In killing I would be betraying and abandoning the very teachings I would be seeking to preserve. So it would be better to let him kill me and remain true to the spirit of the Dharma.'"


i want to study civil engineering in school and i need more information on the course?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia\n\nIn modern usage, civil engineering is a broad field of engineering that deals with the planning, construction, and maintenance of fixed structures, or public works, as they are related to earth, water, or civilization and their processes. Most civil engineering today deals with roads, structures, water supply, sewer, flood control and traffic. In essence, civil engineering is a profession which makes the world a more habitable place to live.\n\nEngineering has developed from observations of the ways natural and constructed systems react and from the development of empirical equations that provide bases for design. Civil engineering is the broadest of the engineering fields. In fact, engineering was once divided into only two fields--military and civil. Civil engineering is still an umbrella field comprised of many related specialties.\n\nengineering, profession devoted to designing, constructing, and operating the structures, machines, and other devices of industry and everyday life.\n\nCivil engineering includes the planning, designing, construction, and maintenance of structures and altering geography to suit human needs. Some of the numerous subdivisions are transportation (e.g., railroad facilities and highways); hydraulics (e.g., river control, irrigation, swamp draining, water supply, and sewage disposal); and structures (e.g., buildings, bridges, and tunnels).\n\nJob Definition\n    Apply theory and principles of civil engineering in planning, designing, and overseeing construction and maintenance of structures and facilities under the direction of engineering staff or physical scientists.\n\nTasks\n    Calculate dimensions, square footage, profile and component specifications, and material quantities, using calculator or computer.\n    Draft detailed dimensional drawings and design layouts for projects and to ensure conformance to specifications.\n    Analyze proposed site factors and design maps, graphs, tracings, and diagrams to illustrate findings.\n    Read and review project blueprints and structural specifications to determine dimensions of structure or system and material requirements.\n    Prepare reports and document project activities and data.\n    Confer with supervisor to determine project details, such as plan preparation, acceptance testing, and evaluation of field conditions.\n    Inspect project site and evaluate contractor work to detect design malfunctions and ensure conformance to design specifications and applicable codes.\n    Plan and conduct field surveys to locate new sites and analyze details of project sites.\n    Develop plans and estimate costs for installation of systems, utilization of facilities, or construction of structures.\n    Report maintenance problems occurring at project site to supervisor and negotiate changes to resolve system conflicts.\n    Conduct materials test and analysis, using tools and equipment, and applying engineering knowledge.\n    Respond to public suggestions and complaints.\n    Evaluate facility to determine suitability for occupancy and square footage availability. \n\nKnowledge\n    Mathematics - Knowledge of arithmetic, algebra, geometry, calculus, statistics, and their applications.\n    Engineering and Technology - Knowledge of the practical application of engineering science and technology. This includes applying principles, techniques, procedures, and equipment to the design and production of various goods and services.\n    Design - Knowledge of design techniques, tools, and principles involved in production of precision technical plans, blueprints, drawings, and models.\n    Computers and Electronics - Knowledge of circuit boards, processors, chips, electronic equipment, and computer hardware and software, including applications and programming.\n    English Language - Knowledge of the structure and content of the English language including the meaning and spelling of words, rules of composition, and grammar.

descibe commonalities between the trail of tear and the middle passage?

Both involved the forcible removal of people from their homelands, and the relocation of these people to unknown and inhospitable geographies, and undesirable circumstances.\n\nBoth were also entirely engineered by European-American colonizers.


an increasing number of coils results in a decreasing spring rate. Explain?

Lets take a mattress, for example.\n\nThe more coils, the less spring rate.  More coils means there is more support because there is a heavier gauge wire used in the coils.  The coils take up more "air space".  This doesn't leave much room for bounce/spring.\n\nLess (number of) coils means there is more air space between the coils, and there is more room for the coils to bounce and move around.  :-)


My advice would be to get away from this person as quickly as possible. There are enough things out there to agonize over, don't let another big one like this one tear you up anymore. Life is meant to be enjoyed, not destroyed. If there were kids, then that would be different. Run girl, like the wind. Good Luck


From the movie Labyrinth: \nGive me the child. Through dangers untold and hardships unnumbered, I have fought my way here to the castle beyond the Goblin City to take back the child that you have stolen, for my will is as strong as yours, and my kingdom is as great. You have no power over me.

Well, I think many of them would like to save, not only in phone bills, rather in all the things, except females who can never think about the bills while purchasing cosmetics :p\n\nRegarding that new kind of phone, I know a way, which I think many of you people might know, is VoIP (Voice over IP). With this service, you can talk internationaly with very cheap rates. As for instance, calling America is as cheap as 1cent per minute. By yahoo voice services, you can do that. http://voice.yahoo.com\n\nThanks.

during the tax season,would you like to do it by yourself or have a professional done it? why ?

Have your taxes done by somebody else if you have a healthy sized income, or income coming in from many different places. Also, if you've got a lot of payments... especially if a personal business is involved. The IRC is ENORMOUS... and professional CPAs with a good tax background are going to know it better than you. Loopholes are great.

Why we don't see NEW GREAT  invention and discovery in PHYSICS in the last  30 years ?

Isaac Newtwon laid down the ground work for modern day physics.  Then Einstein came along and published the most recent great discovery in physics, the theory of relativity.  The problem is, these two contradict each other.  Steven Hawkings and others have since been working with string theory, which would explain these contradictions.

How can a anti-virus read the binary file and check for virus ?

Try the paper "A Generic Virus Scanner in C++" by Spafford and Kumar.(link below)\n\nIt was written in 1992 but gives the layout of an antivirus scanner.  Theory and source code.\n\nSecond, try an open source antivirus scanner: ClamAV. More current and the source code is available.  It is field tested against real Windows mass-mailing worms. ClamAV also shows how one might handle updating virus detections.


what should I do with a naughty student?

It totally depends on what the student is doing wrong, doesn't it? The student needs to know what behavior they are doing that is not acceptable.  I would establish some rules.  Once the student knows the rules, if the behavior is repeated, warn the student if he/she does it again, there will be consequences, and let him/her know what those consequences are.  I think this also works with any age groups.  The punishment depends on the age group.  Also, I think a positive way is to tell the student when they are doing well or doing what they are supposed to instead of always telling him/her what they are always doing wrong.  It seems to me whenever I compliment a student, the behavior that is acceptable is repeated because they want to impress you.  Then, the other students will follow through if they are getting compliments.  I hope this helps.

can my employer force me to take sick leave whilst on a course of physiotherapy if I don't want to?

Okay, there's no easy answer to this one.  As a Human Resources Director, let me say the following.\n\nIf you are able to perform the duties of the job in full with your current injury, and a doctor is willing to put as much in writing, there is no legal basis for requiring you to take time off.  \n\nA demotion would be out of line legally and ethically.  You are protected under a federal law (Family Medical Leave Act - FMLA).  If YOU feel you need the time off, I'd make sure he knows that you are taking time off under your rights with FMLA.  \n\nI would strongly encourage you to get your employer to put in writing that they are mandating the time off, and that as a result they are considering a demotion.  \n\nThe Department of Labor is there to help with situations like this, so I would call and make an official complaint with them (though you should know your employer will be very unhappy to hear from DOL, and even though they're not supposed to retaliate, they may try to in underhanded ways).  \n\nIn addition to all this, I hope that you are being covered under your employer's worker's compensation insurance.  They should be paying for any lost time the doctor is mandating, if they are.  I'd be happy to give more information if you need it.


Is there an adoption agency for the children left without parents because of the war?

If you mean American children, you can check around with foster family agencies, but those orphaned kids normally go to relatives first, then foster care if there are no appropriate relatives. If you are looking to adopt a child from Iraq, I'd imagine it would be very difficult to secure the proper visas to bring the child into the US.

Which one is worse for your health? weed or tobacco?

I would have to say I know of people of whom i have talked to and or have know from my much younger years and yes they tried both. Marijuana and Tobacco and you don't get any smarter that's for sure. It keeps a person from being able to study or to drive on the roads or to concentrate on much of anything for long periods of time.Although there's not been very much study done on the Marjuana smoking some doctors have been known to prescribe it to cancer patients for to keep them so doped up that they may or may not have alot of pain with their type of cancer so, if you want to play it smart , I SAY DON'T DO EITHER ONE, NOT EVEN TO TRY FOR A SECOND.AS THEY SAY BE SMART DON'T START !!!!!

I want to retrieve an email sent by mistake if not I might lose my job?

Depends on what program you used.  Did you use groupwise or outlook?  If so, and the person you sent it to uses the same system, when you go into your sent mail and try to delete the item, it will ask you if you want to delete it from the recipient's mail box as well as your own.  You can do it that way.\n\nIf you used yahoo or some web-based e-mail, you are out of luck.  Sorry.

Any big changes from the life of Chinese in America in 1920s to the life of Chinese in America now?

Their status. Back in the 20's they were hard labourers and look down on because they weren't white.\n\nNow you see them on TV as actors, politicians. They are the intellectuals that do the math and analysis behind the scenes in a lot of big companies. They still work hard, but the majority of them have gone from blue collar to white. \n\nEducation is paramount in their lives whereas in the 20's it was really about escaping poverty in China and just working to get somewhere in life.

What exactly do gential warts look like?

The pictures that you usually see on the internet are of extreme cases.  Most often genital warts (HPV) look like the head of a pin (and they are about the same size.)  They tend to be very small and smooth.\n\nIf someone has something going on with their immune system, like HIV, or other diseases or conditions, the warts may become large.\n\nOnly a doctor can tell if you have genital warts.  It's very common to have small bumps or pimples in the genital area & people may mistakenly think they have HPV.\n\nWomen diagnosed with HPV need to find out if the have the high-risk or low-risk variety.  High risk HPV can cause cervical cancer.  High-risk tends not to develop warts, whereas low-risk tends to produce warts.\n\nIf you really want to see pictures of extreme cases, go to Yahoo's home page, type in genital warts and click on the "images" button, then hit search.  Some pics should show up.


can  you sell a car you're still making payments on? Return it to the bank?

Yes you can but it's tricky!\n\nSelling it yourself\n\nA private sale is often the best choice, since you'll get a lot more for the car than if you trade it in at a dealership. (See “Make a bundle by selling your own car.”) But it can be a lot of work -- and kind of tricky to pull off.\n\nYou first need to:\n\n    * Check with your state's Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to get all the required paperwork and procedures for transferring ownership of your car.\n    * Check with your lender to find out its procedures on how to get the lien released on your vehicle.\n\nA lien is a kind of legal wheel-lock that lenders put on financed vehicles. Until the lien is released, the vehicle can't be transferred to a new owner.\n\nMost lenders will want you to pay off the loan in full before they release the lien, which is a problem if you need the buyer's money to pay off your debt. Your problem deepens if you need extra cash on top of the buyer's payment to retire the loan.\n\nTrading it in\n\nA trade is by far the easier choice, since the dealership handles all the paperwork. You also could score one of the new-car incentives that might help you erase or at least reduce your debt.\n\nLet's say you're $2,000 underwater on your car. A $4,000 rebate could erase that debt and give you a small down payment on your replacement vehicle, Nolan said.\n\n"There are so many incentives and cash-back rebates out there that you should be able to find one," he said.\n\nThe downsides: You'll get less for your old car than if you sold it yourself, and you may be vulnerable to some of the dealers' worst tricks: overcharging you for the new car or the new loan, or both. (The dealer knows you're either desperate or not very sophisticated financially if you're selling a car on which you still owe money.)\n\nAnd worse, despite the big rebate on your new car, you’re instantly underwater, because rebates aren’t magic. A $20,000 car that carries a $4,000 rebate is realistically worth $16,000 -- and that value starts dropping the minute your new car becomes a used one. The damage will be even worse if you’ve rolled over old debt into the new loan.\n\nAnd then the cycle starts all over again.


What are the loitering laws in Pennsylvania?

how do i find out my annaul household income?

Take your weekly income and multiply it by 52. duhhhh


Neat little problems of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division took on new dimensions when we began to use these tools for solving problems described in narrative terms. It was quite a shock for some of us to change from a simple A "2+2=4" type of problem to, "How many pieces of fruit do John and Mary have if John has two apples and Jane has two pears?"\n\nWe face a similar, albeit more mentally demanding, dilemma when we familiarize ourselves with the professional standards of practice, conduct, and qualifications. Just how do these fit into real life situations? There is no simple answer. Each situation is unique and there are bound to be differences of opinion on how each situation relates to the neat set of articulated standards. In the end, it is the actuarial profession itself that determines how these standards are to be interpreted in real life situations. As part of this process, the CAS COPE and the ABCD solicit your comments on the applications of professional standards of conduct, actuarial standards of practice, and actuarial qualification standards in specific simulated fact situations. All comments received will be condensed and summarized in future articles on an anonymous basis.\n\nConsider the following scenario:\n\nPerfection Mutual Casualty Insurance Company (PMC) is an established, medium-sized midwestern carrier operating in 15 states. Historically, its primary lines have been personal auto and homeowners. It expanded its market in 1993 to write commercial lines coverage, including workers compensation, on small businesses.\n\nPMC had retained Pat Firmly, FCAS, MAAA to review its reserves since 1985. Firmly has generally found PMC's reserves to be adequate and has issued unqualified statements of actuarial opinion to that effect since such opinions were required.\n\nIn November 1995, while conducting a preliminary review of experience to be used for determining reserves for the 1995 annual statement, Firmly noted that the experience for commercial lines had deteriorated sharply and PMC would probably have to show a reduction in surplus at year end. PMC management argued that Firmly's analysis relied too heavily on industry development factors for long-tail lines and was otherwise unrealistic as far as its projections of IBNR reserves. Firmly also informed management that one of its off-shore reinsurers had recently defaulted on claims payments to another one of his clients and its ability to pay amounts due PMC were in doubt.\n\nShortly thereafter, PMC terminated its contract with Firmly. In February 1996 PMC retained Harry Hyde, FCAS, MAAA to issue an actuarial statement of opinion on its 1995 reserves. After accepting the assignment, Hyde asked Firmly to furnish his workpapers from prior years. Firmly refused and accused Hyde of stealing one of his best accounts by promising a favorable opinion. Hyde then reviewed the combined lines experience furnished by PMC and issued an unqualified actuarial opinion to the effect that PMC's reserves were within an acceptable range. These reserves produced a nominal increase in PMC's surplus.\n\nWhat standards of conduct, practice, and/or qualifications are involved in this scenario? Did Firmly comply with these standards? Did Hyde comply? What did each do right, if anything? What did each do wrong, if anything? What would you have done if you were Firmly or if you were Hyde? If you were either of those actuaries, would you file a complaint with the ABCD? If so, what would you ask the ABCD to do?


can anyone in the company (management) inquiry about someone else credit report?

No it is not discriminitation unless you can prove that your terms of employment are diffrent than the white's. For instacne if they say your credit score is not high and demote you or fire you, but do not do the same to everybody else. Although, you must consent to allow anyone to view the details of your credit report, but I don't beleive they need your consent to a general summary of your credit rating. All they have to do is pay for access.


with hostility's in south America growing, why are we letting more illegals cross the border?

Because neither the Democrats or Republicans want to offend the hispanics in this country,since 1986 when amnesty was given to illegals back then our goverment failed to secure the borders,each administration left the problem to the following administration,now we're stuck with millions of illegal immigrants that are not asking but demanding legal status,some are already planning to bring more illegals with them.and our Washington representives?pointing the finger at each other as usual,and contrary to what the person above said,it's the Republicans that are blocking illegals from becoming legal.
