Why are Australia's sporting colours Green and Gold and not blue, red and white?

It was not until April 19, 1984, that green and gold were officially declared Australia's national sports colours by the then Governor-General, Sir Ninian Stephen. The combination was, however, used in the jumpers, blazers and caps of the Australian cricket team to tour England in 1899, but was not ratified by the Australian Cricket Board until 1908. It was also worn by the Australian Olympic team in that year, while the Australian Rugby League adopted the colours in 1928. Green and gold were the popular choice to represent Australia internationally because the colours closely resembled those of our national emblem the golden wattle. \n====================================\nWhile Australia's official sporting colors were adopted as blue and gold before the end of the 1800s, none of its sporting teams adopted the colours - or few perhaps even gave it a thought. Scarcely any Australian sports of the late 1890s took up the colours of the approaching Federation. \n\nIn 1897 when Harry Musgrove's troubled Australian Baseball Tour of America arrived in Pittsburgh, they were welcomed at the Duquesne Theatre which was 'decked out in blue and gold bunting for the Australians'.\n[ Ref: http://www.australianbaseballhistory.webcentral.com.au/ ]


How long does the average person keep their computer before replacing it?

Hmm, well... when do you consider a pc to be "replaced"? I upgrade a piece at a time, so my PC is a mix of parts that are anywhere from around 10 years, to 6 months old. Technically it's never been "replaced", just slowly mutated into what it is today.

what are the extra cardiac vascular complications of rheumatic heart disease?


Can I use the dish washer while the boiler is broken??

It depends. Some dishwashers have their own heating core so you could use it independantly of the "boiler" (I am assuming you mean the water heater and not an actual boiler that is used to heat a home).\nHowever, unless your dishwasher is brand new/state of the art it probably doesn't heat water on its own.  Like someone else said, you can use it, but it won't do much to activate the detergent since most detergent requires at least warm water to be effective.\n\nTime to use the oldest and best dishwasher avaiable. Heat a pot of water and wash them by hand! (or get the boiler fixed)


How Come My Girl Friend Doesnt Like to be Licked Down There?

Does anyone know the best college to attend if someone wants to major in zoology?

It really depends on what you want to do with a zoology degree. If you want to go into veterinary medicine then I strongly recommend Univ. of California. If you want to do something else, well, just look around at them. I strongly suggest ANYONE considering a college should go and visit the campus first!


It works pretty much the same way as if you're buying from a private party. My husband and I went through a relocation program when we sold our home. Basically, we technically sold the house to the relo company and then they sell it. But that's just technicallity..we were still involved. My husband and I OKed or turned down offers (with input from our relo person). Relo companies will not ask for more than the house is worth, but they do turn down some buyers that don't qualify for a loan (or something like that). If you're going through a reputable bank for your loan, you shouldn't have a problem.\n\nAlso your first answerer is right. The realtor for the relo company is paid lower than usual. How this affects the you, the buyer, who knows. :-)\n\nAnother thing, buying a house from a relo company will usually be faster. They are on a strict timeline, so this may be a plus for you (or not).

How long does it take to lose 20 pounds?

10 to 20 weeks.  The recommendation is to lose 1 - 2 pounds per week to make sure that you lose fat and only fat.  You don't want to lose muscle because this will slow your metabolism.  So at  1 - 2 pounds per week, that's 10 to 20 weeks.  You'll be much more likely to keep the weight off for good if you lose slowly and sensibly.

No.\n\nThe FDA is just releasing a massive study of various supplements, and almost none of them work.  This one seems less plausible than most.  What about vision would be related to a supplement?  Your body supplies your eyes with what they need, we evolved that way.

Any OSHA regultions regarding reissuance of used uniform?

Unless there's blood or other bodily fluids they are just laundred and issued to the next person.  If there's blood or other fluids then yes OSHA regulations come into play, but they'd just toss the shirt instead of reusing it.  It's no different then the person going home, washing his shirt and rewearing it, it's just that a different person ends up rewearing it.


How would you deal with a woman who just broke off a long term relationship and you and her are together now?

Acid rain can cause erosion on ancient and valuable statues and has caused considerable damage. This is because the sulfuric acid in the rain chemically reacts with the calcium in the stones (lime stone, sandstone, marble and granite) to create gypsum, which then flakes off. This is also commonly seen on old gravestones where the acid rain can cause the inscription to become completely illegible.\n\nThe toxic ions released due to acid rain form the greatest threat to humans. Mobilized copper has been implicated in outbreaks of diarrhea/diarrhoea in young children and it is thought that water supplies contaminated with aluminium cause Alzheimer's disease.\n\nTrees are harmed by acid rain in a variety of ways. The waxy surface of leaves is broken down and nutrients are lost, making trees more susceptible to frost, fungi, and insects. Root growth slows and as a result fewer nutrients are taken up. Toxic ions are mobilized in the soil, and valuable minerals are leached away or (as in the case of phosphate) become bound to clay.\n\nAcid rain also causes an increased rate of oxidation for iron

how do you calculate the length of a spiral?

If you can express the spiral as a function of x, then the arc length of the function, from x = a to x = b, is the integral (from a to b) of the square root of (1 + [f'(x)]^2) with respect to x, where f'(x) is the derivative of f(x).\n\nUsually, however, spirals can't be expressed as a function of x, but in polar coordinates instead. To find arc length of curves in polar form, click on the (oddly pink) link below.

you tell him in straight forward manner. You expect rent, utility, and food money. If he disagrees, tell him that it is not your responsibility to take care of him. Treat him like an adult and be firm. If it gets to be two on one then its time to move yourself out.\n\nADDED\n\nif its your house then you can tell then its your way or the highway.


Why is it incorrect to say that public opinion represents the single, undivided view of american people.?

okay now I read you. Public opinion is just that. Opinion of the public. And the American people are not by any means the same all the way through. People's opinions differ all the time no matter what it is. Remember after 9/11 and the whole country was behind invading Afganistan? Well there probably was 5% of Americans not gun-ho about it.\n\nAnd thats the beauty of America. Its what our founding fathers would want to see. Not a single minded entity, but a multi-faceted body of individuals with different opinions on a mutlitude of issues.

how long have john steffensen been doing athletics?

John's parents enrolled him in Little Athletics when he was seven to get rid of excess energy. \n\nA former long jumper, John made the move from Perth to Sydney in the winter of 2002 to train in the Michael Khmel sprint squad. The relocation paid dividends when in February 2003 John ran 46.07 and was selected in the Australian team for the World Championships. He recorded a best of 46.75 in the leadup to Paris where he clocked 46.8 on the first leg of the Australian 4x400m relay team which placed 4th in the heat and missed the final by one position. Was big improver over the 2003/04 domestic season and was rewarded with a bronze medal at the nationals in a personal best time of 45.63. Prepared for Athens in Italy. At the Olympics ran the first leg on the 4x400m relay which won the silver medal. John clocked 46.5 (heat) and 45.9 (final). The medal was the first by an Australian 4x400m relay team since the 1956 Olympics. Spent early part of the 2004/05 domestic season training in California. Returned to place second in the Nationals. In May and July ran new pbs of 45.45, then 45.31 - moving to no. 12 Australian all-time. Ran very well in Helsinki progressing to the final where he placed 8th in a good time of 45.46. John ran a pb to win the National title then ran 45.44 to win the AA test event at the MCG.

Can someone please help me on this problem...explain how and why...thanks?

When adding fractions with the same denominator, just add the numerators and keep the same denominator:  x (which is 1x) + 3x = 4x/6\n\nSince 4 and 6 are divisible by 2, reduce this to 2x/3.\n\nWhen two fractions are equal, the top of fraction 1 times the bottom of fraction 2 equals the top of fraction 2 times the bottom of fraction 1.  This gives a new form of the equation without fractions.  Here;\n\n(x-3) times 3 = 15 times 1\n\n3x - 9 = 15   add 9 to both sides to get\n\n3x = 24   divide both sides by 8 to get\n\nx = 8

how do you feel about illegal immigration?

Your question is asking about "Illegal" immigration. What people are forgetting or trying ignore is that in this country "Legal" immigration is welcomed,and ok.  "Illegal immigration should be dealt with like any other crime.\nAnd I don't think it is a matter of free speech, because our rights are reserved for the "legal" citizens of this country. I think it is not very smart to be doing something illegal, \nthen making it known that you are doing it. \n\nPeople who are here illegally are breaking the law. There are steps that can be taken to be here legally and they should take them. It may be a difficult process, but as we all know Freedom isn't free, and if you want it bad enough, you should be willing to do what it takes to get it through legal means.\n\nThe protests of illegal people in this country bother me.  What would happen if child molesters decided to protest the laws against child molesting. We would all say, that's crazy! How can they be "in the wrong" and demand the laws be changed so that they can do what they want. I don't think it is right. The best way to resolve the problem is to make it prohibitive for illegal people to be here, and beneficial for legal immigrants to be here. Our laws are there for a reason, America is not a free for all...and if you want to be a part of its citizenry, then you must follow the laws like the rest of the citizens. \n\nWhat gets me is all these people using emotionalism and saying that "human rights" are being violated. How is it a violation of human rights to tell people who entered this country illegally, got jobs, and basically are squatters and cheaters that at long last, YOU MUST DO THE RIGHT THING! \n\nI think they do not understand what the definition of "Human Rights" is. They are not being treated inhumanely, they are actually fortunate. Because they are being treated as any other American Citizen who breaks the law. ACTUALLY they are being treated BETTER than any other American Citizen who breaks the law. How many U.S. citizens do you know, can break the law, admit to it, protest about it....and not be punished unless or until congress decides to re-write the law in an effort to be as fair to THEM as possible. Come on! Just because they took low paying jobs and work hard at them, does not mean that they are free to break the law. And if we allow them to do it, then the country they are so eager to live in will cease to be the country it is supposed to be. \n\nIf what illegal immigrants want to do is to work, raise families, and live in a free society. Then, follow the LEGAL process to do so, learn the language, and the culture, pay your taxes, and become an American the right way!\n\nDon't break the law and then scream victim! You are not victims. The tax payers who support social programs are victims; the people who migrate to this country and become legal citizens are victims. Illegal immigrants are people who made a "CHOICE" to do the WRONG thing, and think they should be excused or rewarded for that choice. I say WAKE UP; take responsibility for your actions, and GET LEGAL or leave.


Why does milk give my 10 year old brother a bellyache?

There are solutions to milk induced bellyaches.\n\nIf his bellyache is caused from lactose intolerance, all he needs to do is take a few lactase tablets when he eats a dairy product (milk, yogurt, butter, ice cream, cheese, etc). My husband and daughter are lactose intolerant sometimes because they have celiac. For them, if they do not eat anything that conatins gluten in it (wheat, barley, etc.), they do fine with the dairy products. This is because the body makes its own lactase to break down the lactose in milk products at the tips of the vili. Vili are tiny, fingerlike projections in your small intestine. There are a variety of problems that can damage the vili - like celiac. Since the tips of these vili are particularly vulnerable, lactase production is often stopped. This type of damage will often heal if the reason for the damage for the vili can be removed and healing occur. Until then, lactase tablets do work for people who do not produce enough on their own. There is even a lactase treated milk that you can buy. It tastes a bit sweeter than regular milk because the lactase has broken lactose down into simpler sugars that the tongue perceives as sweeter.\n\nLactose is a carbohydrate. But not all milk digestion problems are due to this carbohydrate. Milk is also made up of proteins. Some people do just fine with the lactose, but have a problem with one of the milk proteins. My son is like this. He can drink goat's milk just fine, but when he drinks cow's milk his stomache turns into a knot. We can buy goat's milk in the same section of our store as we can buy cow's milk. It tastes pretty similar - maybe a bit creamier. It makes awesome ice cream and the tastiest mashed potatoes! You can even get cheese made from goat's milk. It is called chevre which is French for the word goat. Some friends of ours raise goats and they are sooo cute. I have to admit to considering trying to raise a nanny goat for the milk. They can give as much as a gallon of milk a day for nine months out of the year. You let them rest from milking for 3 months after being bred. Then they have a kid goat and the milking starts all over again.\n\nWhy don't you ask your parents to try him on goat's milk and also try the lactase tablets. You may very well find a solution for him that will let him enjoy dairy products pain free.\n\nGood luck

what is the forumla of voulme for a cone?

For a circular cone, it's V=(1/3)*pi*h*r^2. For a cone with a non-circular base, the volume is always 1/3 the volume of the corresponding cylinder. So if the area of the base is A, the volume of the cone will be (1/3)Ah. In this, h is the vertical height of the cone and r is the radius of the circle on the base.

Asperin alone no. It can help as it thins the blood. As such the blood circulates much better. But over all it addresses problems which can cause a heart attack. So looking at it this way I suppose one could say it does prevent heart attacks.

If you mean in the past, there are no signs... unless he brags about it.

Why do planets form when I shoot my sawed-off shot gun?

The explosive force created by the detonation of the cartridge inside the gun interacts with the cabbages growing in that lovely little farmer's field down the road and the combined effect is a collison of matter and anti-matter, mixed in with a nice big helping of buttons which then creeps into your eye sockets and paints what appear to be newly formed planets in your retinas. In reality, it's nothing more than a trick of the light.


Yes, I am an Israeli-born Jew but I am NOT a Zionist. BIN LADEN IS JEWISH, full stop. A very close friend and a MOST eminent Israeli journalist told me recently, that according to Jewish law - bin Laden is Jewish, as his mother is Jewish(!). AND -- if that is not enough, this irrefutably honest Israeli journalist, disclosed to me personally that bin Laden's mother's family lives in Israel (I will not print here the exact address which he provided me). I knew that bin Laden was Jewish long time ago, but with the current war hysteria I never mentioned to anyone except to my husband. The fact that bin Laden is Jewish, is known in Israel, but the 'free' 'democratic' 'press' of Israel will NOT publish it, as we have to continue to promote the myth that he is a 'villain'. Actually, I will not be surprised if bin Laden is living now in Israel, and the Mossad is 'laughing all the way to the bank' ! When Israel and Bush finally will control all world's countries, I am confident that bin Laden will be invited as an honored guest. We (should I say they?) the Jews NEVER brag about what we are doing, and the public (here and in Israel) is totally innocent and uninformed about the amount of terror that we are manipulating and releasing on the whole world at the moment. The strategy is simple: attemt to make our enemies suspect each other and then fight it out. It saves us the work. Keep in mind that our enemies are ANYONE WHO IS NOT JEWISH. The Mossad was somehow involved in the 9-11 attacks... another 'USS Liberty'? and NO ONE WOULD BELIEVE IT. (Even when those Mossad kids were caught dancing with glee on Manhattan roofs! What more do you want?) \n\nAmericans will jump like lemmings off the cliff. believing every word they hear on Fox News and CNN. The 'news media' NEVER tell the public that the Intelligence agencies are usually at the core of the problem as these agencies are the ones which invent such trickery as 'The Gulf of Tonkin' and the vile 'Operation NORTHWOODS'. These treasonous acts and many others like them are done at the behest of the NWO-\n\n I can see the Elders ( Jewish Rabbinical Leaders) bursting with laughter in their graves.

well, if you hook a nation up on TV, give them magazines with pretty girls with no brains in them, and then make them forget about feelings to become mechanical beings, what do you expect in return? I mean you're so right, the cultural level of the people in majority is sooo low it makes me wanna cry... I think we're getting more stupid with every generation, I really do...\n\nAddition:\n\nIt doesn't mean that you can't improve yourself, though... I think you're on the right track, and should press on no matter what. There's no greater power than the power of wisdom, and no matter what you choose to learn, you're a million steps ahead of the next guy. Take care.

I hope he gets back for the tournament. I picked Nova as my team this year to watch. My husband wanted WVU to win. We don't get along when it comes to sports.


Tough question...In my opinion, a good person is someone who treats people fairly, not necessarily good, but how they would want to be treated in any situation.  I also appreciate someone who will tell me like it is and not blow sunshine up my butt.  I guess they would have to be morally correct as well.


i agree with the first two people....i was going to help but i havn't gotten that far in school.


Why do ad's list "Off street parking", when you are meant to park in the street? :)?

When adds say off street parking, it means it has a driveway that you can park in. Which is a good thing in cities here in Connecticut in snowy weather they some times issue street parking ban. Hope this satisfies your curiosity. Have a nice day.


is there any one in america without a boyfriend?

I am also single and don't like it.  What type of help do you want?  Some advice?  Socialize, meet new people at school, in town, etc.  Build a social network, including clubs or hobbies you have, with people your own age, and the exposure will help you meet lots of new people.  Be open and relaxed (not desperate or needy) as you introduce yourself and take things slowly.  If you are in college that is a great place to start meeting people like yourself.\nBest of luck in love to you!

Should countries contol the limit of fast food resaurants?

No, let the market decide how many fast food places there should be. We live in a free market society and if there is enough demand for fast food then people should be able to open as many fast food places and sell as much fast food as they want. If people don't want to east fast food then they will stop buying it and restaurants will have to close due to lack of sales. Limiting the number of fast food places will only put increased pressure on the existing restaurants and create a shortage in the market.

Northerners- Do you get rowdy at high school graduations?

Our graduations were getting so crazy that they threatened to revoke graduation certificates if anyone got out of line. There were kids ripping off their gowns and walking across the stage in their Gothic underwear. Some flashed the audience, one threw a frisby from under his gown. Yes, it was really crazy, and loud. There are horns going off, beach balls, balloons, etc. I say, let them have some fun! They will never graduate from high school again!

Adults please... this is serious... HELP?

your history is compatible with "a.n.a.l fissure"(this type of spelling helps us to write things we need and are not dirty words that have to appear as stars!). you will need to see a doctor, because it may be more serious than i think,and leave you with incontinency.so work on yourself to give up being shy. but till you will be able to go to doctor, you can use these guidelines:\n#1: don't worry.\n#2: have 1 or 2 table spoons of olive oil everyday morning, and at bedtime.\n#3: drink at least 8 glasses of water daily, and a lot of other liquids.\n#4: have a fiber-rich diet to soften your stool and make your defecation easier.(use a lot of vegtables, plum, tomato; and avoid meet or other low-volume meals)\n#5: use a sitz-bath.( sit in a basin full of clean tepid water for defecation)\n#6: do not stay in w.c. for a long time and do not strain to defecate, it should com spontaneously and easily, you shouldn't try to take it out.\n#7: use anti-hemorrhoid gels or ointments, they will ease your pain. \nalways remember this very important point:doctors and other health care workers do not think about the human body as you or other people think; it is their profession and they have seen numerous bodies,and they always see body parts and secretions. so they don't think about your problem the same way as you think.your problem for a doctor doesen't mean any thing more than a professional task to manage!this point will help you to overcome your shyness.\ngood luck!


The first boat was probably a raft...\n\nAlthough it was before recorded history, there is evidence that some of the first Homo Sapiens to leave Africa, traveled from Ethiopia to Yemen, between 75-80,000 years ago. The distance is less than 10 miles, so they could see which direction to explore, and it was after an Ice Age, so the water levels were down appx. 150'...\n\nThe motivation for these Hunter/Gatherers was to find new food sources, and it was clear that wood floats, so they had the confidence they could make the journey safely, which they did...\n\nLater, perhaps 70,000 years ago, there is evidence that Australian Aborigines could have only arrived there my the making of rafts...


What's the history of baseball and Doubleday?

Abner Doubleday was a Civil War general who had nothing to do with the invention or evolution of baseball.  Al Spalding wanted to make money, and he felt that if he could "prove" the game were American, he could turn a quick buck.  Never mind that most smart people, even back 70-80 years ago, knew the game came from cricket and rounders.\n\nSpalding got some guy to claim that Doubleday was the latter's friend and that he saw Doubleday draw out the rules one day in 1839.  With a stick, in the dirt, ab nihilo.\n\nOnly problem is, the guy Spalding hired to make this claim (name escapes me) was a bit loony and ended up in a sanitarium.  Doubleday was 16 years older than the imposter, and yet the latter claimed Doubleday was his friend.  Also, while Doubleday's family had lived in Cooperstown, they moved in 1837.\n\nThe kicker, imho, is that Doubleday wrote extensively about his life, leaving over 60 diaries.  The word "baseball" is never mentioned... :)

difference between interface and abstract class?

Choosing interfaces and abstract classes is not an either/or proposition. If you need to change your design, make it an interface. However, you may have abstract classes that provide some default behavior. Abstract classes are excellent candidates inside of application frameworks. \n\nAbstract classes let you define some behaviors; they force your subclasses to provide others. For example, if you have an application framework, an abstract class may provide default services such as event and message handling. Those services allow your application to plug in to your application framework. However, there is some application-specific functionality that only your application can perform. Such functionality might include startup and shutdown tasks, which are often application-dependent. So instead of trying to define that behavior itself, the abstract base class can declare abstract shutdown and startup methods. The base class knows that it needs those methods, but an abstract class lets your class admit that it doesn't know how to perform those actions; it only knows that it must initiate the actions. When it is time to start up, the abstract class can call the startup method. When the base class calls this method, Java calls the method defined by the child class. \n\nMany developers forget that a class that defines an abstract method can call that method as well. Abstract classes are an excellent way to create planned inheritance hierarchies. They're also a good choice for nonleaf classes in class hierarchies.


I have a question for practicing Jewish people.  Are Jewish people still waiting for a Messiah?

first off all American their is a list that one must do to be called the messiah. and yes Jews are still waiting for the first person to complete that check list. \n\nhere it is -- it is detialed and long so bear with\n\nTHE MESSIAH ACCORDING TO JUDAISM\nOne of the basic premises upon which Christianity rests is that Jesus was the Messiah predicted in the Jewish Bible. Judaism has always rejected this belief. Since the goal of "Hebrew Christian" missionaries is to convince Jews that Jesus did in fact fulfill the requirements of the promised Messiah, it is necessary to examine the Jewish understanding of the Messiah to understand why such claims are simply not true.\n\nTHE HEBREW ROOTS OF THE WORD "MESSIAH"\n\nThe Hebrew word for "Messiah" is "Moshiach --." The literal and proper translation of this word is "anointed," which refers to a ritual of anointing and consecrating someone or some-thing with oil. (I Samuel 10:1-2) It is used throughout the Jewish Bible in reference to a wide variety of individuals and objects; for example, a Jewish king (I Kings 1:39), Jewish priests (Leviticus 4:3), prophets (Isaiah 61:1), the Jewish Temple and its utensils (Exodus 40:9-11), unleavened bread (Numbers 6:15), and a non-Jewish king (Cyrus king of Persia, Isaiah 45:1).\n\nTHE CRITERIA TO BE FULFILLED BY THE JEWISH MESSIAH\n\nIn an accurate translation of the Jewish Scriptures, the word "Moshiach" is never translated as "Messiah," but as "anointed."1Nevertheless, Judaism has always maintained a fundamental belief in a Messianic figure. Since the concept of a Messiah is one that was given by G-d to the Jews, Jewish tradition is best qualified to describe and recognize the expected Messiah. This tradition has its foundation in numerous biblical references, many of which are cited below. Judaism understands the Messiah to be a human being (with no connotation of deity or divinity) who will bring about certain changes in the world and who must fulfill certain specific criteria before being acknowledged as the Messiah.\n\nThese specific criteria are as follows:\n\n1) He must be Jewish. (Deuteronomy 17:15, Numbers 24:17)\n\n2) He must be a member of the tribe of Judah (Genesis 49:10) and a direct male descendent of both King David (I Chronicles 17:11, Psalm 89:29-38, Jeremiah 33:17, II Samuel 7:12-16) and King Solomon. (I Chronicles 22:10, II Chronicles 7:18)\n\n3) He must gather the Jewish people from exile and return them to Israel. (Isaiah 27:12-13, Isaiah 11:12)\n\n4) He must rebuild the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem. (Micah 4:1)\n\n5) He must bring world peace. (Isaiah 2:4, Isaiah 11:6, Micah 4:3)\n\n6) He must influence the entire world to acknowledge and serve one G-d. (Isaiah 11:9, Isaiah 40:5, Zephaniah 3:9)\n\nAll of these criteria for the Messiah are best stated in the book of Ezekiel chapter 37:24-28: \n\n"And My servant David will be a king over them, and they will all have one shepherd, and they will walk in My ordinances, and keep My statutes, and observe them, and they shall live on the land that I gave to Jacob My servant...and I will make a covenant of peace with them; it will be an everlasting covenant and I will set my sanctuary in their midst forever and My dwelling place shall be with them, and I will be their G-d and they will be My people. And the nations will know that I am the Lord who sanctifies Israel, when My sanctuary is in their midst forever." \n\nIf an individual fails to fulfill even one of these conditions, he cannot be the Messiah.\n\nWHY JESUS COULD NOT HAVE BEEN THE JEWISH MESSIAH\n\nA careful analysis of these criteria shows us that, although Jesus was Jewish, he did not fulfill any of the other criteria. An examination of the contradictory accounts of Jesus' genealogy demonstrates a number of difficulties with the fulfillment of the second criterion. Specifically, the New Testament claims that Jesus did not have a phy

1st of all, it is "Fledermaus" in German; "Fleder" is derived from "flattern", which means "flutter"; "maus" of course is "mouse" because people thought the animal resembles a mouse. The English word "bat" seems to be related to Scandinavian "bakke", which is again related to "bacon" (meaning 'ham') because in hibernation bats hang in their caves like hams in a pantry.


Yes, or at least from some predatory archosaurs. There are currently two strong theories, each with their supporters: birds are dinosaurs (Padian, Chiappe, etc.), or birds are non-dinosaur archosaurs (Feduccia).\n\nIf they evolved within the Dinosauria, as much evidence seems to show (see link), then according to a cladistic classification they ARE dinosaurs (the same way that we are Sarcopterygians, even if we're not fish-like anymore).

My address bar is to the far right of my web browser, but I can't access it, HELP!?

Depends on what Browser you are using.\nLet me assume you are using Internet Explorer (IE) ("I can see the word address"), then you should be able to drag the entire bar to the left. The trick is knowing where to click and drag. This is usually anywhere that is NOT click-able. Try the top-left corner, just behind the 'Address' writing.\nIf that doesn't work you have to take the long process as follows; Click on the 'View' Menu, then 'Toolbars', and uncheck (that is, you click on the tick sign next to the name) the 'Lock the Toolbar' writing. Then you repeat the process and uncheck all toolbars except Address and Standard Bar.

How do you spell the word kumbaya as in the song kumbaya, the song you sing around campfire what does it mean.

Kumbaya (also spelled Kum Ba Yah) is a nineteenth century African American folk song, originating among the Gullah, an enslaved African people living on the Sea Islands, near the coast of South Carolina and Georgia. (The translation of "kumbaya" is "come by here".) Originally a spiritual, the song enjoyed a revival during the folk revival of the 1960s, and became associated with the civil rights struggles of that decade. The melody is believed to be of Gullah or African origin.\n\nThe song has come to be associated with unity and closeness. Many times, in news and sports, when there are two people who disagree but need to work together, it is used. For example, "Although Donovan McNabb and Terrell Owens will play together in 2005, don't expect them to be singing Kumbaya."

By expanding the world you live in you create new opportunities to meet that special person made just for you!Good luck!


see it this way.....we havnt seen God so y we should believe Him, but look at this way too.....we havnt seen air, but we say that air exists coz we breath. also, no one has seen electricity yet we believe that there is electricity coz we r feeling cool under our fan, or we r able to read at night since the bulb of our room is glowing.So we prove the existence of air and electricity by feeling them. similarly, we should feel that the system of this universe is so well organised that only a power like God can do this.\nif u think that science hasnt prove the existence of God then science is also unable to deny the existence of God.\na simple question?.....u came from ur parents , ur parents come from ur grandparents....they how first man came on earth?.......science has given the theory of evolution and origin of life to solve this question,but this theory has the greatest disadvantage that it hasnt been proved yet.\nanother simple point.if science is unable to disprove the existence but can do so in 'some more years' , then u should believe in God till those 'some more years', then we will see further..\nif u want to contact me further ....send me mail at religion_zaeem@rediffmail.com....

what role do the roots of trees playin weathering?

I agree with James again.\n\nThey help break bedrock apart in a process called mechanical weathering.\n\nTrees can also act to prevent erosion by providing wind breaks & a canopy in which to slow down the velocity of raindrops before they hit the ground.\n\nThe difference between the two is that weathering helps to create soil while erosion is the washing away of soil.\n\n:)

what is a good work at home site to visit?

Most people who work at home and are successful are doing one of two things - getting paid a commission on everyone they convince to join the program (also known as MLM or pyramid plans) OR they have their own business. Your own business is something you create yourself, not find on the internet. You create it based on your skills, your passions not on what someone else tells you is the GREATEST thing going.\n\nIf you are looking at one of the endless "opportunities" out there be careful - most are scams. Here are a few questions you should ask to help figure out if the one you are looking at is for real or not.\n\nLegitimate work-at-home program should tell you - in writing - what's involved in the program they are selling. Here are some questions you might ask:\n\n* What tasks will I have to perform? (Ask the program to list every step of the job.)\n* Will I be paid a salary or will my pay be based on commission?\n* Who will pay me?\n* When will I get my first paycheck?\n* What is the total cost of the work-at-home program, including supplies, equipment and membership fees?\n* What will I get for my money?


at what rate does the HIV virus reproduce?

Sequential blood samples were evaluated from 3 subjects with AHIV (negative HIV EIA, positive HIV RNA), identified 2-3 days before peak viremia (pre-peak). HIV RNA levels and CD4 counts before antiretroviral therapy were used to estimate HIV doubling time (t(d)) and, the basic reproductive number (R(0)). HIV t(d) was calculated from the slope of ln(RNA) vs. time during rising viremia. Maximal estimates of t(d) were 1.6-3.5 days.\nhttp://www.aegis.com/conferences/croi/1998/521.html


When you write a bad check you're put into check systems. My ? is how do you contact them on-line?

Go to www.consumerdebit.com and you can get a free copy of your Chex System report. You can find out who and what is being reported about you. You can then negotiate, in writing of course, with the bank(s) that put entries there to pay them and have it removed.\n\nYour other option is to call other banks/credit unions in your area and ask if they use Chex Systems. Some of the smaller local banks don't.\n\nGood Luck


Why are girls so fickle when it comes to teen idols? Why not be loyal for the long haul?

I'm not a "girl" anymore (I'm way beyond that) but I can tell you that tastes simply change.  When I was a girl the big heart throbs were Michael J. Fox (who is currently battling Parkinson's), Kirk Cameron (who has become a religious fanatic and stars in the Left Behind movies), and Don Johnson (who finally shaved and got rid of the pink tees).  I'm not the least bit interested in any of those fellows now.  My tastes changed as do all girls.  Eventually teen idols grow up, as do those who do the idolizing.  That's the great thing, there is always someone new to "love"

Do you think the U.S. was right to enter the First World War? Why?

I don't think Woodrow Wilson had much of a choice.  With the Zimmerman  Telegram and more US merchant marine vessels being torpedoed, public opinion would have forced him into it.  \nRemember we waited nearly 3 years before declaring war on the Central Powers.


Legal Age for becoming a adult in Iowa.?

once your child is 16 you're no longer responsible for their actions. it depends on the situation, however, because if they child decides to move out on their own then they're allowed and you're no longer responsible. at the same time, however, if you're refusing to take care of your child when they need it, you're to blame.\n\nit more so depends on the situation, really. if it's something you can't control, then you're not responsible.

"Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" is the 34 lettered song title from the 1964 movie Mary Poppins. As a song title, it is a proper noun, but the word, and variations, has entered the English language as an adjective. It is one of the longest words in the English language.

Who is intelligent to answer those Questions:-   About :- spheres.?

The Ionosphere helps refract radio waves so they can travel very long distances, more than line of sight as they bounce around inside it.\n\nPilots fly in the troposhere because it is dense (density affects LIFT). Jets actaully fly right at the top on the troposhere to avoid turbulence.\n\nHmm, as for the mesosphere, not that much of this is known. it's higher than aircraft altitude and lower than spacecraft altitude so not much travels in it. It's the first line of defence for any meteors that come into the earth's path tho so I guess that's quite important.

Hi all! i am a little bit shy so I would like to ask you how to beat my shynnes?

I use to be really really shy too! But one day it hit me that when people firts meet you they have NO IDEA who you are, so you can make yourself who ever you want to be weather its shy or outgoing. And I attempted it one day and made myself an outgoing person by taking the first step in asking all kind of questions (believe me I was soo nervouse because of my shyness) and by the time I knew I was able to talk to those people with no probelms and people would refer to me as a social butterfly but little did they know I was very shy. Well in time I really did become the social butterfly it just took some time and it took some working at. Be patient but learn to take steps. And those steps could be your the first one to speak up or out. If you always the first to do something you will overcome your shyness thats why I did and now I am leader. Good Luck and dont let shyness overcome you.


i want to write a essay on " importance of discipline ".  please contrbute some lines - lower school level

The prime motive for discipline is this: You are the kindest, gentlest teacher that your children will ever have. Never again will they be taught how to get along in life with a fraction of your love. If you don't discipline now, for whatever reason--because you feel guilty, too strict, are afraid of doing something "wrong," or because it's just easier to let them go--then who will ultimately discipline your children? The world. And the world is not a kind or gentle place to learn lessons.\n\n\nIf a parent doesn't teach qualities like self-control, respect for others, consideration and the ability to follow rules, then the teaching is thrust upon others--a teacher, employer, landlord, army sergeant, police officer, judge. Who of these has the emotional attachment to your child that you do? Who will forgive and forget as many times as you will? \n\n\nWhen a child is five or eight or twelve years old and talks mean, what do you do? Maybe put him in a chair, swat his bottom, send him to his room, fine him 50 cents, make him write a 200-word apology. When he's 25 and talks mean, what happens? He could get beat up, or fired, or arrested. The stakes get higher as we get older. No matter how mean you might think you are for enforcing limits and expectations, you are a whole lot less mean than life.\n\n\nLife puts consequences on behavior solely on the basis of how we act. It seldom takes into consideration mitigating factors like, "Oh, she's cranky because she's tired" or "What do you expect, he's a middle child." Try telling your boss sometime after you've verbally unloaded on him/her, "I'm sorry. I went to bed late last night and woke up crabby, with a headache, no less. On top of that, I still don't think I'm fully over my birth trauma."\n\n\nParents make allowances. Because we love without limits, we see mitigating circumstances, sometimes even when there are none. That's the beauty of parenthood. It's what makes our discipline have heart, our lessons come with soft landings. All the more critical, then, that we not surrender our privilege and duty to discipline. We alone are uniquely suited to teach little humans when it's easiest on them and most durable.\n\n\nA mother once told me, "I think the worst thing I could do to my son would be to allow him to be unlikable." In the short term an undisciplined child aims most of his "unlikableness" at his parents. They suffer the brunt of his demands and unruliness. In the long term he suffers. Others quickly tire of his difficult behavior and avoid him. Long after mom or dad have left the scene, he is left to learn on his own how to relate maturely to others. \n\n\nA critical distinction must be made between discipline in and of itself as mean, and mean discipline. Certainly we can be mean as we discipline. We can verbally pummel, demean and fling all kinds of unnecessary and hurtful words and emotions. By virtue of our humanity, all parents are prone to some mean discipline. Good parents work hard for years to reduce its presence. Setting firm limits and holding a child accountable for his actions is not mean at all. It is love in action. It is love that is hard for children to comprehend. Nonetheless, it is love that will endure long beyond our passing in the character of the human we leave on this earth.

The whole idea of a soul-mate is that there is another soul out there that is your perfect match.  The thing is, that could be a friend, a relative, or a mate. Just because there is someone out there that you "click" with in everyway doesn't mean you have to sleep with them.  If your lucky then the person you marry is the person you "click" with.


How do I install / configure remote acces on a cp running Windows M E?

Download a program called "TightVNC" and do a full install on the machine you wish to control remotely.  Set up a password when it prompts you to, and that's it.  Now, on the machine you will be using to remotely access the other pc, you can use the web browser to log in and control your pc, or you can install the TightVNC program on that one as well.  Really very simple.

what are the best over the counter treatment for men's genital warts?

There is no treatment available over the counter for genital warts.  Please don't use any old wart tincture - it won't work.\n\nYou need to see your GP or STD clinic.  The most common treatment is to freeze them off with liquid nitrogen.\n\nThey are highly contagious so you'd be wise to avoid sexual contact till you get the all clear - unless you want a miffed off partner.


how much is a single roll wallpaper be? or a double roool?

I forget how much is on a roll.\nThey will kmow at a store that sells wallpaper.\nFind the paper you like and ask the clerk how many feeet are on a roll. Always buy an extra roll. You have to match up the pattern up so that each strip is matched with the strip next to it. And this causes a lot of waste and leftover paper. There is no toher way to do it. You need to buy a lot extra for this reason.\nWhen you hang it, you have the top and bottom uneven and have put it on the wall so the pattern matches up. Then you take a yardstick and an exacto knife and go along the ceiling and baseboard with the exacto knife and cut it off even by running the knife along the edge of the yardstick while holding it against the corner where the ceiling meets the wall, so it is cut off even.

what should i avoid if i have type one dibetes?

Nothing in particular, except smoking. Smoking causes characteristic damage to several body systems, and it reinforces the damage diabetes does. No one needs both at work. Give it up! If you have lost feeling in the feet, it's best by far to check them often for signs of blisters or cuts or skin breaks of any kind. The reason is that, if you can't feel it, you won't take care of it. Diabetes is the largest cause of amputation in adults in theh North America save trauma (like automobile accidents). The reason is largely reduced circulation, and reduced wound healing, and increased infection severity in many diabetics. Watch those feet.   \n\n\nNo food, or food type, is inherently bad for diabetics, and in the case of Type 1 diabetics, there is less concern for various kinds of food than for Type 2 diabetics, for whom excess weight seems to both bring on Type 2, but also to make more severe cases. \n\nThe problem for Type 1s is that, producing no insulin of their own, it's necessary to provide insulin from the outside, and to come as close as possible to the non-diabetic levels of insulin so that blood glucose levels are as near normal as possible. Insulin controls how, and how much, about 2.3 of body cells taek up glucose from the blood. Among much else, of course, for it is a hormone which has wide and varied effects throughout the body. \n\nThere are several things which affect how fast and high blood glucose goes: \n\n--First is how much food is eaten. In this case, sugar (sucrose), milk sugar (lactose), starch (many glucoses stuck together in chains), fat (a small part of fats -- the glycerol backbone -- can be converted to glucose in the body), and so on. All provide glucose, eventually, to the blood. One of the purpsoes of the 'exchange' system is to provide a handy way to estimate the food quantities eaten. \n\n--Second is exercise. Even without insulin, exercise (even mild exercise such as a brisk walk) causes glucose to be uptaken by muscle cells. Given any partiuclar amount of food, exercising before the meal will result in less inculin needed than otherwise, since the mechanisms are independent. teh effect lasts for some hours, so a brisk walk for 30 minutes just after luch will still increase glucose absorprion rates of food eaten at dinner.  \n\n--Third, is the amount of insulin. All other things being equal, more insulin means that more glucose will be absorbed from the blood by body cells and less insulin will mean less. \n\n--Fourth, type of insulin. There are several types of insulin. They vary largely by how long their effect (forcing absroption of glucose from the blood) lasts, and whether there is a marked peak in action. So, a given amount of regular insulin acts faster and more intensely than lente ('slow') insulin which takes longer to exhaust itself, or ultra lente ('very slow') insulin. NPH insulin falls between regular and lente in speed of action adn suration of action. The analog insulins (one from Lilly and one from Novo Nordisk) are much more quickly acting, beginning totake effect with 15 or 20 minutes and being done in an hour or perhaps an hour and a half. Two special insulins, Lantus and Detemir, are unusual in that they exhibit very little peak of action. Their insulin effect  takes place steadily over about 24 hours. \n\nLocation of administration also has a secondary effect on how long the insulin effect lasts. \n\n--Fifth is the composition of the food eaten.  For example, skim milk contains lactose (a mildly sweetish dual sugar) which is disassembled into its component simple sugars and absorbed by the intestines. Drinking the same amount of whole milk delivers the same amount of lactose, but much more slowly since the butterfat in the whole milk slows down digestive action on the lactose. A baked potato eaten 'dry' will be converted to glucose and absorbed, while the smae amount of potato eaten with butter or sour cream is much more slowly a

when a I am honset with women, they dont trust me...dishonest then I am accepted...why ?

depends on what kind of honesty we are talking about. if you tell a woman that you have fantacy's she will trust you and your being honest; however, if you tell a woman you have fantacy's that you would like to pursue. then you have just been too honest.  women don't like to feel threatened. so it might just be, that you say way to much, and have her thinking there might be a close threat.  Example, I always go play cards with my buddies on thurs., accepted... I go play cards with my buddies on thurs and you can't come., not accepted.  you just posted a threat that your friends are more important. and then we wonder what you might be hiding if we aren't allowed to be around. you must be hiding something... guys don't think into things like women do, but you could come home with ice cream on your shirt, and you might have just stopped off for a cone.  a woman can go from he had ice cream, to,, where was mine, to,, who else had ice cream, to,, that jacka-- is cheating on me how dare him.  and then you're screwed. it's that idea of he didn't think of me. why not, whats he hiding. when in reality your just being you, and have nothing to hide.  always be considerate of her feelings and never say too much it will save you a lot of clean up time.

Just a little bit naughty:\nThe man went into the butchers and asked for a large rump steak ‘with tons of fat on the outside’.   ‘That’s very unhealthy’ said the butcher ‘you’ll get a heart attack’.   ‘Never’ said the man ‘I’m as fit as a fiddle, not an ounce of fat on me’.   As the butcher looked at him, the man added ‘Go on, then, guess my age’.   ’36 or 37’ answered the butcher.   ‘I’m 59’ said the man proudly.   In any event, he got the steak and left.    A few minutes later, as he stood at a bus-stop, an old lady came up.  ‘How old do you think I am’ she asked the man.   He looked at her then said ‘About seventy, I’d guess’.   ‘I’m seventy-eight’ she croaked.   ‘Wonderful, just wonderful’ answered the man, then as an afterthought ‘And how old do you think I am’ he asked.   ‘I’ll tell you’ she replied, ‘but first let me put my hand down the front of your trousers’.    As there was no one around, the man obliged.   After three or four minutes he asked ‘Come on then, tell me my age’.   ‘You’re fifty-nine’ she croaked.   ‘Very good’, the man said in astonishment ‘but how did you guess’.   ‘I was standing behind you in the butchers’ she proudly answered.

This question has been run into the ground.  The Holocaust of the 1930'and 40's was a factual occurrence in the history of man.

The golden ratio, also known as the golden proportion, golden mean, golden section, golden number, divine proportion or sectio divina, is an irrational number, approximately 1.618, that possesses many interesting properties.\n\nShapes proportioned according to the golden ratio have long been considered aesthetically pleasing in Western cultures, and the golden ratio is still used frequently in art and design, suggesting a natural balance between symmetry and asymmetry. The ancient Pythagoreans, who defined numbers as expressions of ratios (and not as units as is common today), believed that reality is numerical and that the golden ratio expressed an underlying truth about existence.


What type of gun would you pick for fun target shooting.?

Mini 14 is a good all around rifle and it being a .223 caliber, ammo won't be super expensive. The AKM, a variant of the AK47 is also a good shooter with cheap, powerful ammo. (both weapons are military caliber) 22. rifles such as the 10/22 are fun plinkers and dirt cheap to shoot. It just depends on how big of a boom you want at the range. A .357 is a dependable weapon and as the gentleman above mentioned you can shoot .38 rounds with no modification. Another route you can take is to buy a handgun such as a 1911 style .45 and get the .22 conversion kit with it so that you can shoot .22 at tin cans and still have a .45 for home protection etc. etc.


If God can speak directly to prophets why doesn’t he speak directly to everyone?

One word- FAKERS!  Many so-called prophets sure ain't real!  The SAY that God speaks to them but how can we be sure they aren't making it up or are delusional.  \n\nHere is one example... Said God spoke to him, told him where to find stuff, blah, blah, blah.  Called himself a  prophet, formed his own religion the whole nine yards.  The holy book he wrote plagerized parts of the bible word for word.  Turning out most everything in there has been scientificlly debunked  Every prediction he made never came true.  And most now can't because the people they were attributed to are dead.  Not a real good one...\n\n\nNext one... He changed his name, said God was talking to him, swore up and down he was a prophet in a religion that said there would be no more.  When the followers didn't believe him he swapped tactics and formed his own religion out of mumbo jumbo from all kinds of religions.  One part is so close to another religious text it is almost plagerism.  Is he a prophet? My guess would be no, he made it up for his own reasons.\n\nNext one... Swore he was a prophet, God spoke to him.  Then started getting paranoid about all kinds of things and immagined slights.  Moved his followers to South America.  A large chunk of them committed suicide on his orders.\n\nNext one... Swore God spoke to him.  Was very charasmatic and knew his theology.  Sounded convincing.  Started stockpiling weapons for Armageddon.  Ended up dead with a lot of his followers.  He a prophet?  Claimed he was.\n\nNext one...  Swears he's a prophet, God speaks directly to him on how to run the church.  A very good forger came along and started selling him documents, both good and bad, about the faith.  Swore God said they were the real thing.  They weren't.  If God spoke to him and he was a prophet how did he not know these documents were faked?\n\nThis is just a FEW of them.  The track record for prophets aren't good so how can we truely believe they are?  Expecially ones that are old and the text has been tampered with.  Delusional disorders exhisted in ancient times as well.  Rather casts doubt on all of them...

What is Individual & Collective Orientation?

Hello.  I don't know why no one has answered your question.\n\nIndividual orientation refers to people or groups of people who are more individualistic, meaning that they prefer to define themselves based on who they are.  These people are more prone to looking out for their own needs first, often dropping their current projects for better opportunities and not giving so much thought to how this affects the group or long-term consequences. \n\nCollective orientation or group orientation referst to groups of people who define themselves based on the groups they are involved in.  These people might maintaint a life-long affiliation with any group, such as family, high school peers, etc but the point is they are in it for life.  These people place a higher importance on putting the group first as opposed to looking out for one's own needs.


What were the differences in the characteristics of the Iroquois Confederacy and Ancient Greece's democracies?

Iroquois Confederacy\n\nIroquois Confederacy or Iroquois League (ĭr′ əkwoi′′ , –kwä′′ ), North American confederation of indigenous peoples, initially comprising the Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, and Seneca. They gave their name to the Iroquoian branch of the Hokan-Siouan linguistic stock (see Native American languages), which included numerous other Native American groups of the E United States and E Canada. In the early 17th cent. this confederacy of Five Nations (later to become six when the Tuscarora joined) inhabited New York state from the Hudson River N to the St. Lawrence River and W to the Genesee River. Traditional Culture and Political Organization \nTheir material culture was the most advanced of the Eastern Woodlands area, but they exhibited many traits peculiar to other areas, and this leads many authorities to believe that the Iroquois at some time in the distant past migrated from the lower Mississippi valley. They lived in palisaded villages; the men hunted deer and small game, and the women raised corn, squash, tobacco, and beans. Women held a high status in the society, and descent was matrilineal. Even before the formation of the confederation, the Iroquois families lived in the distinctive bark-covered rectangular structure known as the long house.\nWhen the prophet Deganawidah and his disciple Hiawatha founded (c.1570) the confederacy (to eliminate incessant intertribal warfare and to end cannibalism), this dwelling became the symbol of the Five Nations. They thought of themselves metaphorically as dwelling in a large long house, which had a door on the eastern end, guarded by the Mohawk (in the extreme geographical east), and a door on the western end, guarded by the Seneca (in the extreme west). The Onondaga, keepers of the council fires and the wampum records, were between the Cayuga on the west and the Oneida on the east. The main Onondaga village served as the capital, or meeting place, of the federated council. Voting in the council was conducted by tribe, and a unanimous decision was necessary to wage war. Nevertheless, intertribal war was not unknown.\n\nGreek Democracy\n\nThe word democracy was coined by the ancient Greeks from the words demos, meaning people, and kratos, meaning rule. Even though forms of shared power had existed in many forms before, particularly in small farming communities, it was the Greek city states that recognised people - as long as they were not slaves or women - as citizens and gave them the right to vote on how the state was run. This was possible mostly because their populations rarely exceeded 10,000 people (although some estimates say some had as many as 60,000) and slaves and women were excluded. The relatively small numbers allowed voting and tallying the votes to take place quickly. \nEven though the exclusions limited the number of people who actually had a say to as little as a third of the population, it was still a more open system than that of the tyrants who had previously ruled Greece. \nThis form of politics originated at Athens, which held assemblies every nine days that citizens were allowed to attend. These meetings were organised by a committee elected by all citizens. Those present could take part in debates and vote on laws and decisions to be made by a government chosen by the elected committee. This assembly also elected leaders of the military. They voted by a show of hands, which meant that voters could be intimidated by more powerful personalities in the assembly. They could also vote to send a citizen into exile, which was done by scratching the name into a broken piece of pottery (many of which still survive). \nDespite the fact there were so many people eligible to take part, many citizens lived too far away to attend each assembly. In Athens, 6000 people had to attend for decisions to be valid. Of those, only a handful of the most influential and powerful men would speak.

Name the group of islands that are nome to the magnetic north pole.?

The first expedition to reach this pole was led by James Clark Ross, who found it at Cape Adelaide on the Boothia Peninsula on June 1, 1831. Roald Amundsen found Magnetic North in a slightly different location in 1903. The third observation of Magnetic North was by Canadian government scientists Paul Serson and Jack Clark, of the Dominion Astrophysical Observatory, who found the pole at Allen Lake on Prince of Wales Island. The Canadian government has made several measurements since, which show that Magnetic North is continually moving northwest. Its location (in 2005) is 82°07' North, 114° 04' West, near Ellesmere Island, the biggest of the Queen Elizabeth Islands, in Canada. During the 20th century it has moved 1100 km, and since 1970 its rate of motion has accelerated from 9 km/year to 41 km/year (2001-2003 average; see also Polar drift). If it maintains its present speed and direction it will reach Siberia in about 50 years, but it is expected to veer from its present course and slow down.

Why does the Bush Administration continues to deal with nations that support slavery?

Hey, yeah.  Makes you wonder.  So does Kuwait in the way they use their au pair and maid contracts.  So do many other countries.  Some would even argue that "wage slavery" is prevalent worldwide, but defacto slavery - where one has no rights except those provided by the owner or "boss" - is a real shocker to some people, supposedly even the US government!\nhttp://usinfo.state.gov/gi/Archive/2005/Jun/23-943502.html\n\nThere is also unsanctioned, but accepted slavery, for example, in Turkey (PBS special on Russian sex slaves) and other countries worldwide.\n\nSlavery also still exists in the US.  Are you surprised?  Ever smoke pot or drive fast or drink under age?  Guess what?  People do incredibly vile illegal things too!  What sets this apart from mainstream culture, however, is the expense of importing, hiding, and eliminating the slaves.  Let's think about who in America can afford such things... hmmm...  Who could it be?  Well, maybe this is what we get for our trickle down theories?  Maybe what's trickling down isn't something we'd like to get on our clothes.\n\nSo now we come to the Bush Administration... wealthy, connected, more than enough money to lie and get away with it... Who are your friends in the billionaire club?  Ok, sure, there are some wonderful people there, but not everyone is so fantastic, are they?  No.  There are some real scum that many of us would take pleasure in lynching, no matter how nice of a person we like to think of ourselves.\n\nWe lie to ourselves that we are an open and free society while the rich are given tax breaks and the poor are told to do more with less.\n\nI'm not sure who the Jesus is that the Republicans supposedly worship.  Apparently it isn't the guy I read about in the Bible because I just can't imagine him wanting to create this sort of world.  So far as I can tell, the Bush Jesus tells us that all is forgiven as long as you vote against abortion and gay marriage.  I never thought Jesus was so myopic, but apparently I was wrong.\n\nThen again, look at the trades christians would have to make for joining the Democrats...   There should be a seperate Christian party that allows christians to side-step the demonic choice of "a lesser of two evils."\n\nOff of the soapbox:  What do you expect us to do?  Shall we invade India?  How about Pakistan?  Why stop there?  We could invade Russia for allowing their children to be abducted into slavery!  Yea, America!  We can save the world through domination!  Sound familiar?\n\nIf we quit trading, we place power into the hands of others.\n\nThe real question is, what is the solution?  How do we make it stop?\n\nWell, if you have humane answers to those questions and successfully implement them, you'll be world-famous and rich from people constantly wanting to have you speak at their houses of govenment, universities, stadiums - everywhere.\n\nI don't have the answer yet, but let's keep asking!\n\n(Ahem!  Nuclear bombs are irrelvant!  We own how many?  Doesn't that legitimize nuclear bombs as a form of national defense?  The current "war of rhetoric" with Iran is doctrinal and cultural.  We wouldn't complain if Sweden started making nukes.  In saying Iran has no right to nukes, we have practically already declared war because we say they have no right to a common form of national self-defense!)
