Chrisitian scholars, any help with this one? (Further details)?

The Human Soul. Precisely the same Hebrew phrase used of the animal creation, namely, ne´phesh chai·yah´ (living soul), is applied to Adam, when, after God formed man out of dust from the ground and blew into his nostrils the breath of life, “the man came to be a living soul.” (Ge 2:7) Man was distinct from the animal creation, but that distinction was not because he was a ne´phesh (soul) and they were not. Rather, the record shows that it was because man alone was created “in God’s image.” (Ge 1:26, 27)\n\n He was created with moral qualities like those of God, with power and wisdom far superior to the animals; hence he could have in subjection all the lower forms of creature life. (Ge 1:26, 28) Man’s organism was more complex, as well as more versatile, than that of the animals. (Compare 1Co 15:39.) Likewise, Adam had, but lost, the prospect of eternal life; this is never stated with regard to the creatures lower than man.—Ge 2:15-17; 3:22-24.\n\nSoul—A Living Creature. As stated, man “came to be a living soul”; hence man was a soul, he did not have a soul as something immaterial, invisible, and intangible residing inside him. The apostle Paul shows that the Christian teaching did not differ from the earlier Hebrew teaching, for he quotes Genesis 2:7 in saying: “It is even so written: ‘The first man Adam became a living soul [psy·khen´ zo´san].’ . . . The first man is out of the earth and made of dust.”—1Co 15:45-47.\n\nSince the term ne´phesh refers to the creature itself, we should expect to find the normal physical functions or characteristics of fleshly creatures attributed to it. \nThis is exactly the case. Ne´phesh (soul) is spoken of as eating flesh, fat, blood, or similar material things (Le 7:18, 20, 25, 27; 17:10, 12, 15; De 23:24); being hungry for or craving food and drink (De 12:15, 20, 21; Ps 107:9; Pr 19:15; 27:7; Isa 29:8; 32:6; Mic 7:1); being made fat (Pr 11:25); fasting (Ps 35:13); touching unclean things, such as a dead body (Le 5:2; 7:21; 17:15; 22:6; Nu 19:13); being ‘seized as a pledge’ or being ‘kidnapped’ (De 24:6, 7); doing work (Le 23:30); being refreshed by cold water when tired (Pr 25:25); being purchased (Le 22:11; Eze 27:13); being given as a vow offering (Le 27:2); being put in irons (Ps 105:18); being sleepless (Ps 119:28); and struggling for breath (Jer 15:9).\n\n Genesis, as well as many other portions of the Scriptures, shows that man does not have a soul as something immaterial residing in him. Rather, he is a soul. At death man passes into nonexistence, awaiting a resurrection. (Ecclesiastes 9:5, 10; John 5:28, 29; Acts 24:15; Revelation 20:12, 13) The Bible likens death to a sleep from which one can be awakened in the resurrection.—John 11:11, 43, 44.

how to install and configure peer-to-peer network setup 2 pcs, 1 sharing printer, using a switch?

Well, it sounds like a home/small office network.\n\n1. Connect the printer to any of the two computers.\n2. Connect each computer's LAN cable to the switch.\n3. Check that both computer's LAN CARDS (in their properties windows) have listed: TCP/IP, Client for Microsoft Networks, and File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks. If you are using Windows 98, you also need the IPX/SPX or Netbios protocol.\n4. On the TCP/IP properties, select the AUTOMATIC options.\n5. Then, right click your printer icon, and click on SHARING, and follow up the screen instructions.\n\nGood luck!

with all the worlds religion, What happen'd to the order of Melchizedek?

Melchizedek’s priesthood. Although Noah officiated at the altar on behalf of his family, there is no specific mention of a “priest” as acting on behalf of men in their approach to God until Melchizedek’s time. Melchizedek’s priesthood was recognized by Abraham, who “gave him a tenth of everything.” (Ge 14:18-20) Melchizedek is presented as a prophetic type of Christ Jesus at Hebrews 7:1-3, 15-17, 25.\n\nThe High Priesthood of Jesus Christ. The Bible book of Hebrews points out that Jesus Christ, since his resurrection and entry into heaven, is “a high priest according to the manner of Melchizedek forever.” (Heb 6:20; 7:17, 21) To describe the greatness of Christ’s priesthood and its superiority over the Aaronic priesthood, the writer shows that Melchizedek was both a king and a priest by designation of the Most High God, and not by inheritance. Christ Jesus, not of the tribe of Levi, but of Judah and of the line of David, did not inherit his office by descent from Aaron, but obtained it by direct appointment of God, as did Melchizedek. (Heb 5:10) In addition to the promise recorded at Psalm 110:4: “God has sworn (and he will feel no regret): ‘You are a priest to time indefinite according to the manner of Melchizedek!’” which appointment makes him a heavenly King-Priest, Christ also possesses Kingdom authority by reason of his descent from David. In the latter case, he becomes the heir of the kingship promised in the Davidic covenant. (2Sa 7:11-16) He therefore holds in combination the offices of kingship and priesthood, as did Melchizedek.\n\nDirect appointment. God evidently appointed Melchizedek to be a priest. In discussing Jesus’ status as the great High Priest, Paul showed that a man does not take the honor “of his own accord, but only when he is called by God, just as Aaron also was.” He also explained that “the Christ did not glorify himself by becoming a high priest, but was glorified by him who spoke with reference to him: ‘You are my son; I, today, I have become your father,’” and the apostle next applies the prophetic words of Psalm 110:4 to Jesus Christ.—Heb 5:1, 4-6.

We, as the United States, never existed in the 1200's... unless you are critizing the way things are run in this country and comparing it with the time the Magna Carta came out, well i say, we, as the people have more say in the government, for our leader is elected, and our government is bulit on the framework of the US Constitution, which had some influence from the Magna Carta.

Should George Bush take the troops out from the Iraq?

A famous quote reads "those who do not know their history are doomed to repeat it."\n\nThe USSR was facing the same trouble in Afganastan in the 70's-80's (not sure exact date) as the US is today in Iraq.  They pulled out in the manner liberals are suggesting we do.  Afganastan became a nation of martial law with no mentionable government, 5% literacy rate, poverty striken.  Afganastan is where the the terrorists who commited the most lethal attack on the West in modern history thrived.\n\nTo leave Iraq now would be extreamly foolish.  And were there for the entire regions stability (and safety).  We will have to clean up Iran soon too, it seems.\n\nGod Bless America and my fellow Servicemen.\n\nDemocrats are pure and simple, COWARDS.

Why is the Sun so hot and how did it get so hot?

Gravitational contraction makes things hot, just like your bicycle air pump gets hot from compressing air.  In the sun, this means TREMENDOUSLY HOT.\n\nHot enough and with enough pressure to start nuclear reactions, also facilitated by carbon atoms--the hydrogen-carbon-helium reaction:\n\nMatter is so pressed in the sun that actual space inside atoms is reduced.  Hydrogen is forced into the carbon nucleus, but it can hold only four such protons.  When this saturation state is achieved, it begins to emit helium as fast as new protons arrive.  Thus the hydrogen is changed into helium with the production of energy. Carbon, the catalyst, remains unchanged.\n\nThere is a loss of mass -- check out atomic weights and you will see a difference between two hydrogens and one helium.  The difference is mass that was converted to energy.\n\nThere are other processes going on in the sun.  Check out THE URANTIA BOOK in the 400+ pages range for more copious info on this subject in easy to understand English without jargon and pretension.\n\nThe brutally dangerous energies are attenuated by the "Compton effect" (look it up) as they percolate towards the surface transferred from one strata of elements to another.  This journey takes 500,000 years from the center!\n\nThe sun consists of many layers like an onion.  The last layer is calcium rich and 6000 miles thick.  That is because calcium is propelled to the surface, even though it is heavier.\n\nThis miraculous provision of the creators makes life possible on the earth as harmful X-rays are attenuated.\n\nCalcium is a photokinetic material under certain circumstances, where it loses one electron.  The PHOTOKINETIC FORCE propels much of this type out into the solar system annually, in spite of the massive solar gravity.\n\nYou also see shells of exploding material coming off of supernovae, much like the shell being blown off an egg.\n\nThe surface temperature of the sun is about 6000 degrees F, 3333 degrees C.\n\nHowever, in the center it is 35 million degrees Fahrenheit, about 19.4 million degrees C.\n\nThe suface is boiling.  All elements are in gaseous state, even calcium.  Much of this is boiling calcium.\n\nThere is a great battle between the forces of heat and gravity, expansion and contraction.  These have achieved a state of dynamic equilibirium on a massive scale.  At an earlier age the sun actually pulsed like those stars called Cepheid variables.\n\nI see other people have relevant details that I will not repeat.  Temperatures going out from surface are different...\n\nMy information is often left out.

my computor has a major virus how do i get rid of it?

There really is no easy answer to this.  First major hurdle is to figure out what the virus is.  If your computer is still useable, update your anti-virus software.  I'm thinking that since you have a major virus, you might not be running any anti-virus software.  Try downloading AntiVir from:\nhttp://www.free-av.com  It is completely free for personal use.  I also strongly suggest you download and run Ad-aware or Spybot (you can do both).  It can be a real challenge getting your computer to run properly once infected.  Some viruses are extremely hard to remove.  You can always re-install your Windows, but that kinda sucks if you have lots of information you don't want to lose and can't off-load it to a CDR (assuming you have a cd-burner and can use the computer).  I just can't stress enough the importance of running anti-virus software with up to date virus definitions on your computer.  Amazingly enough, even that will not guarantee that you will not get a virus, but is sure does minimize the chances.  If you are not very computer literate, find yourself a geek friend to help with this.  Good luck!\n\nRene

why do we vote when nothing is done for the people ?

Plenty is done for the people, including those  who do not vote. Even if an election result does not go the way I voted, I know that I had the opportunity to make my opinion known to those whom with I disagree. \nIt takes quite a bit of effort for anything to be placed on a ballot, people must support a candidate or issue and take proper steps to complete the process. If things that matter to you need voter approval, get out and volunteer with a group that supports your views, getting involved will give you a greater satisfaction with the political process. Your effort does matter and you can make a difference in your community,  good luck.

Do you mean body mass including muscle mass? The best method for weightloss is increased physical activity (obviously), with a balance of cardio and weighttraining. More muscle inherently burns more calories per muscle-pound (about 50 for each pound per day, I believe). Cardio without weighttraining will help to lose weight, but because muscles are soft problem areas, especially thighs and the stomach in women, will still appear soft and flabby.\n\nCoupled with a BALANCED diet (lean protein from meats is important), it should be easy. But there's no quick-fix method for losing body mass except surgery, and that's not particularly safe either.


some tips from famous successful financial advisor to a new financial advisor to be successful...?

LISTEN, Don't sell. Your firm will DEMAND that you become licensed to sell annuities. You will put your unsuspecting relatives in these things that they can't fully understand and you can't fully explain. Your firm will reap huge sales commissions, give you a 30% payout, and your relatives won't talk to you when the crappy thing blows up.\nIts a sales job if you work for a wirehouse. They don't care about you, your compassion, your ethics, your morals or anything else. You are there to sell. As long as your production increases 20% annually, you're golden. Get your license, get your experience cold calling, then move to an independent. ML,SSB, etc aren't worth the headaches and sleepless nights.


What does Saddam hope to accomplish with his recent hunger strike?

Even though actions like this are extremely unlikely to have any impact. In his mind he has to know he is either a dead man or that he is going to be in a hard prison for the rest of his life.

Can Tire spinning in ditch be against the law?

As a former Texas police officer, I can tell you that the guy that is doing it on purpose could be charged with Criminal Mischief if the owner of the property choses to press charges. If it's an accident, then the owner can take the driver(s) to civil court and sue for the damage to the lawn. No one has the right to hurt someone else's property and the one guy that is doing it on purpose needs a charge slapped on his butt and then he can sit in his jail cell and spin his wheels. He can also be sued for the damage. If the owner wants to press charges, tell them to get it on video if possible. Hide a camera somewhere and then they have their proof. =)


elements named after objects in outer space?

Helium (Helios, the Greek sun god)\n+ the 10 below = 11 \n\nThe essay referenced below says:\n\nTen entries in the Periodic Table get their names from objects that orbit the Sun:\n\nPhosphorus derives its name from the Greek for light-bearing, and was the ancient name for the planet Venus when it appeared before sunrise in the dawn sky.\n\nSelenium, comes from selene, which is Greek for the Moon, named so, because the element was always associated with the element tellurium, which had already been named for Earth, from the Latin tellus.\n\nCerium, Palladium named for Ceres & Pallas - asteroids\n\nThe metal mercury, and the planet Mercury, are named for the speedy Roman messenger god of the same name.\n\nThorium, while named for Thor, the lightning bolt-wielding Scandinavian god, corresponds with lightning bolt-wielding Jupiter in Roman mythology.\n\nUranus, Neptune and Pluto are famously represented -\nUranium, Neptunium & Plutonium\n\nBy the way, do your homework yourself :)


Should I eat anything (maybe some orange juice) before running for 30 minutes in the morning?

the problem with working out or running in the AM is that for the most part the last food you ate was the night before.  The body needs some form of energy to perform at its best.\n\nI have seen people that can get up and run 10 miles in the AM and think nothing of it, I have also seen people who's blood sugar will bottom out during a morning run and they almost pass out.\n\nThe easiest way to answer this is it depends on you.  If you feel that your not performing well, then you may need to eat something small, but even then I wouldnt suggest anything heavy, maybe some fruit or a handfull of granola or somethign lite.\n\nExperiment and see what best works for you.  Write it down as part of a daily log and see how you did with your run times/distance and also log how you felt during the run and see if you can start to tie it all together.


What kinds of corruptions do u think our govern. has?

All governments have some sort of corruption, and I'm not sure it will ever be solved.  It is important to remember that certain people are blamed for being corrupt when they aren't and others aren't blamed when they should be.  It depends on who the media hates that day!  Usually, when one politician blames another for being corrupt, it can usually be revealed that (s)he is corrupt in certain ways as well.  Though it doesn't make our politicians right, compared to other govt's I think we have it pretty good.  We could be like Saddam's old Iraq and worry about being thrown into a tree chipper for dissenting.


Why do you laugh when you hear something funny?

I won't pretend to know the biological and/or psychological mechanisms taking place that is conducive to this. It's just a spontaneous (laugh) reaction that most humans have in response to the stimulus of hearing something funny. We have just marvelously been created and "wired" up that way.\nA word of caution --- what you may interpret as "hearing something funny" is purely subjective. What you may hear and interpret as being funny may not always be perceived the same way to other individuals --- hence, beware that hearing a "funny" joke/experience could potentially become an embarassing situation ... 'nough said.

If I want to practice yoga at home, about how long should a session take doing all the poses? Less than 1 hr?

would a lighter clutch improve acceleration?

a lighter cluch and fly wheel will give you some faster reving, but actual acceleration not much if any.\n\nbest reason for lighter flywheel and cluch is that you can "match reves" faster/ easier if u dont know what matching revs is..... its when u have to down shift esp. into a corner you dont want a sudden sump in reves or power to the wheels as htis can causr understeee/ oversteer so the process of matching reves somes into play so as u dow n shift from lets say 3 to 2nd the rpm's will rice so b4 you let the cluch out into the lower gear you must give the motor more gass to be at the rpm level the next gear will be at if done right there will be a smooth transaction from 3 to 2nd gear resulting is a smoother corner and better track times...


why being a racist is bad? what indeed is racism?

Racism is hatred of a group of people because they are of a certain race, nationality, or creed.\n\nIts bad because you are hating someone because of something they cannot change or have no control over.  It would be like people hating you for having blue eyes, or for having freckles.\n\nIf youre in doubt if feeling a certain way about someone is bad, put yourself in their shoes for a moment.  If you dont like people thinking of you like you think of other people, thats a good sign that what youre feeling toward them is bad.


Mardi Gras, literally "Fat Tuesday," has grown in popularity in recent years as a raucous, sometimes hedonistic event. But its roots lie in the Christian calendar, as the "last hurrah" before Lent begins on Ash Wednesday. That's why the enormous party in New Orleans, for example, ends abruptly at midnight on Tuesday, with battalions of streetsweepers pushing the crowds out of the French Quarter towards home. \n\nWhat is less known about Mardi Gras is its relation to the Christmas season, through the ordinary-time interlude known in many Catholic cultures as Carnival. (Ordinary time, in the Christian calendar, refers to the normal "ordering" of time outside of the Advent/Christmas or Lent/Easter seasons. There is a fine Scripture From Scratch article on that topic if you want to learn more.)\n\nCarnival comes from the Latin words carne vale, meaning "farewell to the flesh." Like many Catholic holidays and seasonal celebrations, it likely has its roots in pre-Christian traditions based on the seasons. Some believe the festival represented the few days added to the lunar calendar to make it coincide with the solar calendar; since these days were outside the calendar, rules and customs were not obeyed. Others see it as a late-winter celebration designed to welcome the coming spring. As early as the middle of the second century, the Romans observed a Fast of 40 Days, which was preceded by a brief season of feasting, costumes and merrymaking.\n\nThe Carnival season kicks off with the Epiphany, also known as Twelfth Night, Three Kings' Day and, in the Eastern churches, Theophany. Epiphany, which falls on January 6, 12 days after Christmas, celebrates the visit of the Wise Men bearing gifts for the infant Jesus. In cultures that celebrate Carnival, Epiphany kicks off a series of parties leading up to Mardi Gras.\n\nEpiphany is also traditionally when celebrants serve King's Cake, a custom that began in France in the 12th century. Legend has it that the cakes were made in a circle to represent the circular routes that the Wise Men took to find Jesus, in order to confuse King Herod and foil his plans of killing the Christ Child. In the early days, a coin or bean was hidden inside the cake, and whoever found the item was said to have good luck in the coming year. In Louisiana, bakers now put a small baby, representing the Christ Child, in the cake; the recipient is then expected to host the next King Cake party.\n\nThere are well-known season-long Carnival celebrations in Europe and Latin America, including Nice, France; Cologne, Germany; and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The best-known celebration in the U.S. is in New Orleans and the French-Catholic communities of the Gulf Coast. Mardi Gras came to the New World in 1699, when a French explorer arrived at the Mississippi River, about 60 miles south of present day New Orleans. He named the spot Point du Mardi Gras because he knew the holiday was being celebrated in his native country that day.\n\nEventually the French in New Orleans celebrated Mardi Gras with masked balls and parties, until the Spanish government took over in the mid-1700s and banned the celebrations. The ban continued even after the U.S. government acquired the land but the celebrations resumed in 1827. The official colors of Mardi Gras, with their roots in Catholicism, were chosen 10 years later: purple, a symbol of justice; green, representing faith; and gold, to signify power.\n\nMardi Gras literally means "Fat Tuesday" in French. The name comes from the tradition of slaughtering and feasting upon a fattened calf on the last day of Carnival. The day is also known as Shrove Tuesday (from "to shrive," or hear confessions), Pancake Tuesday and fetter Dienstag. The custom of making pancakes comes from the need to use up fat, eggs and dairy before the fasting and abstinence of Lent begins.

How to kiss a girl in the most perfect manner?

First lean in kiss should be on the soft side but purposeful. \nIf she seems to want more - is leaning towards you and smiling in a hopeful kind of way, gradually give more intense kisses. Wait for her que that she wants the kisses to be deeper, her mouth will become a little more open and there might be a brush of the tip of the tongue. Do as she does with just a little more intensity. As you are kissing, hold her upper arms GENTLY, moving one hand or the other slowly up towards the back of her neck. If the fire is really going than carefully work your hand under the back of her hair and without getting your hands caught in it move your fingers over her scalp and through her hair if it's flexible.\n\nA good way to test to see if she's receptive to that kiss to start with, as you're gazing into her eyes, and the air seems absolutely thick with romantic tension, slowly reach over and with just a finger or two from one hand - with the lightest possible touch... stroke the side of her face near her hairline from the top down. If she doesn't pull back then she is open to being kissed.\n\nGood Luck! Keep in mind, there will be definite signs that she's into it or not. If really unsure, ask.

If the KKK can hold rallies, why not Al Qaida?

I believe that any organiztion or party threatening others or having their purpose based in hatred - Is the opposite of free speech. We are not "free" to harm others or to threaten harm to others. Threats and violence are counter \nfreedom activities. KKK is a disgrace to humanity. May be that's why they hide under sheets. I say put them all on an island and let them do each other in. Al Qaida and company too. Violence begets violence. Non productive and ignorant.


Do physicians get paid during internship and residents? And during that time do they get trained?

For their educations, a doctor goes to college/university for four years to get a Bachelors degree, then to medical school for three years to get a Doctor of Medicine (MD) or Doctor of Osteopathy (DO) degree.\n\nTo become a practicing physician, a person with an MD or DO must work as a resident for one year; this is on-the-job training.\n\nDuring the 7 years of school, the student pays to go to school.  During the one year of residency, the resident is paid for working.

Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.

a treasury bond is issued by the government as a method of raising capital to service government debt. when you buy a treasury bond you effectively become a creditor to the government. the yield of this bond (or note) is the annual percentage of the lent amount you receive in interest payments as the creditor.\n\nvarious factors affect the yield of this note, such as whether or not the country issuing it is prone to political and/or economic volatility, investor confidence in the local currency and speculation about future economic development. domestic interest rates also affect the yield of a treasury bond.\n\nas a general rule (as with all investment) the higher the risk or level of speculation, the higher the yield. for example, a recently issued 30 year (this is the timeframe in which the bond will continue to compound or pay its annuity) US treasury bond has a projected yield of 4.5% per year. in contrast, a Brazilian treasury bond has a yield of 15.4% because of mentioned risks.\n\ntreasury bonds can be bought and sold on the bond market, so an investor does not have to hold on to them for the entire length of their maturity.\n\nbecause they are generally "safe" investments (as they are backed by the federal bank of an individual sovereign state) bonds become popular when speculative investor confidence is low. that is to say, when equities (or stocks) are down, bonds are up. and vice versa.


What impedes a woman or  black person from running for president? Do you think it will ever happen?

There have been both black people and women who have run for President. Both Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton have performed reasonably well in their bids. Elizabeth Dole ran for the Republican nomination against George W. Bush but didn't make much of an impression.\n\nHilary Clinton is the frontrunner for the nomination of her party and there is talk of a bid by Condaleeza Rice for the Republican nomination. In the past, there have not been many blacks or women with the experience to run for President. This position will change over time.

What do you think?? Comments Please..****read more****?

Very very tolerant and kind. I have heard this story before but I can't remember where. I believe it was back in school. Not all people need their "good deeds" to be rewarded. Some are kind, just for the sake of being kind.\n\nBut there was something else to this. A deeper lesson or meaning. I'm sorry to say that I can't remember what it was.

barium chloride and sodium sulfate reaction?

BaCl2 + Na2SO4 --> BaSO4 + 2NaCl is the chemical reaction. \nNet ionic equation: Ba(2+) + SO4(2-) --> BaSO4 \nTotal ionic equation: Ba2+ 2Cl- + Na+ + 2SO4(2-) --> BaSO4(s) + 2Na+ + Cl-\nBarium sulfate is a classic precipitate.  \n\nAll of the masses of these compounds can be calculated by adding the individual ions' masses together, which is the same as atomic masses on a periodic table.   \nBarium chloride: 208.25 g/mol\nSodium sulfate: 142.04 g/mol (anhydrous)\nBarium sulfate: 233.43 g/mol \nSodium chloride: 58.4 g/mol


How do i find a house to buy, refurbish, sell and make a reasonable profit .?

Go to your local Real Estate Investor's Association meetings (every city has one). Just listen and learn. Try and shadow a successful investor around and learn from them. Read "Are You Dumb Enough to Be Rich". It's a very detailed book on buying and flipping houses and it starts at the very beginning. You can find it at any book store. \n\nDo a lot of research and learning first. Foreclosures are a little tough at first. I'd recommend looking for people that may be facing foreclosure in a couple of months and are looking to get out, or just drive around and find some distresses properties. \n\nThere are some in EVERY neighborhood. \n\nBut do as much reading and studying as you can first.


Am I the only one that lives paycheck to paycheck?  It seems my checks are spent before I get them !!!?


does anyone know the answer to this question?

The non-brute-force solution is to notice that:\n\n   a b c a b (c+1) = (abc) * 1001 + 1\n\nSo the number needs to be a square which is 1 more than a multiple of 1001.\n\nIn number theory, we write this as:\n\n    z^2 == 1 (mod 1001)\n\nNow, we factor 1001 into primes as 1001 = 13 * 11 * 7\nand we can say that the above equation is the same as the three equations:\n\n    z^2 == 1 (mod 7)\n    z^2 == 1 (mod 11)\n    z^2 == 1 (mod 13)\n\nNow, for prime numbers, z^2 == 1 (mod p) can be solved only for z = +/- 1 (mod p)\n\nSo we get eight possible triples of equations:\n\n    z == (1,1,1)    (mod 7,11,13)\n    z == (1,1,-1)   (mod 7,11,13)\n    z == (1,-1,1)   (mod 7,11,13)\n    z == (-1,1,1)   (mod 7,11,13)\n    z == (1,-1,-1)  (mod 7,11,13)\n    z == (-1,1,-1)  (mod 7,11,13)\n    z == (-1,-1,1)  (mod 7,11,13)\n    z == (-1,-1,-1) (mod 7,11,13)\n\nNow, the equation:\n\n    z == (p,q,r)   (mod 7,11,13)\n\nis solved via the Chinese remainder theorem, and you get the following values for z:\n\n     z = 1,     z^2 = 000001\n     z = 155,   z^2 = 024025\n     z = 274,   z^2 = 075076\n     z = 428,   z^2 = 183184\n     z = 573,   z^2 = 328329\n     z = 727,   z^2 = 528529\n     z = 846,   z^2 = 715716\n     z = 1000,  z^2 = 1000000 (obviously, not a solution)\n\n[ You can think of the 1,000,000 case as when a=b=c=9. ]

why the foam in the sea was hexhagon shape?

If you take seven pennies and lay them out flat, then bunch them up, you will see that with one penny at the center, exactly six pennies will fit around it.  In the case of bubbles, if you have several bubbles of the same size, they will natural fall into a position that allows them to fit most tightly together.  Bubbles on top layers will either pop or fall into gaps, and this will continue until the tightest packing is acheived.  For round bubbles, this will be the sort I described.  Put a whole bunch of pennies flat on the counter, and pack them as near together as possible without over-lapping--you'll eventually find that every penny (except those on the edge) is touching six other pennies.\n\nNow with bubbles, the sides of each bubble will merge with that of those it touches in order to reduce surface tension (a thermodynamically unfavorable association between different phases, like water and air in this case).  That merging means that while each bubble will be touching six others, the sides will all be flat.  Now each of your bubbles represents a packed hexagonal structure.


Does a high schooler have to fill out FAFSA to get any kind of scholarship?

As a matter of fact, No. FASFA is to determine eligibility for loans. Some scholarships - those that are needs based - also use the FASFA formulas to determine eligibility. Other scholarships are NOT needs based but, instead, are determined entirely by merit. Grades, scores, some other specific qualities, or a combination. My son, who wants to attend a rather expensive private college, has managed to find several thousand dollars worth of scholarships without filling out any forms that describe our family's finances.

Is there really a GOD or is it just in our minds for psychological support?

No body can trully answer that question for you. This is a decision that you must come to yourself by what you really believe. Personnally I am a christian, I know there is a God and I fully believe in him. If you want to learn more about him you should read some things in the bible. I would suggest the new king james version.... seeing that it is easier to read. If you look around you you can see miricles happening....


You get a precise formula for your soda. You do a patent search with the U.S. patent office to make sure there is nothing too similar, and then you get a patent attorney to help you file your idea.\nRecipes, however, are rarely patented. Just keep it secret and figure out a way to mass produce it and maybe you'll be rich!


Yes, but not for long. The person will pass out after a couple of breaths because of hyperoxia (too much oxygen in blood) and subsequent alkalosis (elevation of blood pH because of loss of CO2). You can achieve a similar effect by hyperventilating: taking fast and deep breaths for a minute or two - you will become dizzy and will faint if you don't stop (do NOT do it! ;)).\nBTW, oxygen tanks used as breathing aids are not 100% oxygen, far from that.


how much does an owners of a gas station make on a gallon of gas?

Most Gas stations make very very little, on the avererage of 1 to 3 Cents per gallon sold.  Most Gas Stations depend on sales of junkfood, beer, soda, & cigarettes to make their profit.   A good rule of thumb is, the higher the price of gas, the less the station is making per gallon.  This is due to when the price of oil is increased, stations must cut their profits to remain competitive.

What are some good golfing tips that have worked for you?

If you can you should got take a lesson from a PGA pro. If you cant afford it i'll give a tip from my lesson. Your swing should go around your body, not your head. Second, on back swing, wieght on your right foot (if your right handed) and coming back down your wieght should be on front foot.Third, at all times have your wieght should be on your toes and not your heels. Fourth, throughout the swing don't slide your body right and left, try to keep it center. Last when your coming down to hit the ball, don't accelerate too early, becuase if you do you're ball will either slice or hook.


how can I improve my time management capabilities?

Establish priorities.\n\nHave a daily schedule as specific as you need it.  YOu might even need 5 minute chunks to start.\n\nHave a big master schedule for when assignments are due, appointments, tests, etc.\n\nDe-clutter your environment.   Often we are distracted and taken off task by "stuff" around us.  Try to keep things tidy. \n\nSet realistic short term goals for yourself.  Write them down.\n\nStop doing unnecessary stuff.  Sometimes we try to do too much.  But don't put off the hard stuff that really must be done - no time like the present - get it done now.\n\nPlan your day.\n\nAsk for help when it is reasonable, but don't expect too much of others.\n\nAs much as possible do your study in day light hours.  Research suggests taht one hour of study in day light is equal to about an hour and a half of study after dark.\n\nTake short breaks.  Generally marathon work sessions don't work for most people.  But make sure you end your break on time.  \n\nThis one might sound silly, but get enough rest.\n\nDo the most difficult things when you are most alert, not when you are tired.\n\nDo the most important stuff first.\n\nSchedule some exercise and relaxation time everyday.  It will energize you.\n\nI hope this helps.  Good luck!

It is not dangerous if you take the obvious precautions.\nHere in the damp and chilly UK this method has often been used.\nBut, good news, you don't have to leave the door open. Why not cook things at the same time.\nIf you think about it, all the heat of a closed oven does eventually escape anyway - so why not use it.

Gumbo and Jumbalaya are famously from Louisiana, not Mississippi, though there are some great sources of it here.\n\nMississippi is best known for Sweet Potatos. Varieties of greens, like turnip greens and collard greens. One that I had never heard of before I came here, but fell in love with is the purple hull pea. It is like a black eyed pea, but with a pink eye, and obviously a purple hull, and a heck of a better taste.

what causes nose bleeding? how to cure it?

Many people have had this problem, at least transiently.\n\nYour body is an adaptable mechanism.  It will adapt over time to various stresses that cause problems.\n\nSome that can cause a nosebleed are:\n\nTemperature -- mostly hot, but sometimes cold\nPhysical activity beyond the usual\nColds and allergies\nHigh blood pressure\n   combinations of the foregoing\n\nPersistent nosebleeds are a different matter.\n\nAre you eating your veggies?\nDo you have low Calcium?\nIs there some other medical condition of which this is a symptom?\n\nIf your problem persists with an adequate diet, then you need to ask your doctor about it.\n\nThere are some simple laboratory tests for starters, but all cannot be explained here and is best judged by a competent professional.\n\nIf you want to know more about the medical aspects of epistaxis or nosebleed, start with the Merck Manual for physicans which you can find in any major or college library.\n\nOr go to http://www.webmd.com \n(even more convenient) and search under nosebleed or epistaxis.

A whistle blower is a name given to someone who draws attention to a person involved in wrong doing or corruption, usually in a company or in politics.  \n\nIt is also usually someone who was on the "inside" and in a position to know for sure what has happened.\n\nThe reason they are called whistle blowers is because they are like "refferees" or "umpires" who signal in a sporting match when a foul has ocurred, who has caused the foul, and what the penalty should be.\n\nThey are not tattle tales by any means.  Corruption should always be exposed.


actually I think the answer is no, but negotiations are going to last 10 years or more from now, and we don't know how the situation will be in 10 years. Actually, Turkey doesn't completely match the Copenhagen criterias to join EU, they still lack some democracy aspects.\nRegarding economics cost for EU, actual EU balance will cover until 2012 (or 2013? dont remember..) next one will be 2013-2019, so Turkey would not be negotiating it, and the costs for EU will begin in 2020. Then, there's the "political" point of view; if EU is meant as a free trade area only, Turkey would have no problems to join, if it is meant like something more strict, well, there's also the cultural issue


Is there anyone out there that hates college algebra more than i do!!!?

And I assume that you know that after college you will never ever again use that worthless knowledge.  What scientist is going to be doing long hand algebra when they have a computer?  Ask your teacher who uses it on a daily basis and what percentage of the population that is.  Would you even want to as a job choice?  It's really a shame that schools require such nonsense.

Hope is to have confidence and trust,To look forward to with confidence and feeling  sad or hollow?

Hope is a belief that desirable things are obtainable regardless of the remoteness of the probabilities. That means "I can [get well, rich, happy etc] no matter how [sick, poor, miserable etc] I am." It does not mean "I will get well, rich, happy etc." - which is "positive thinking" not always based in facts. According to the above definition, hope recognizes probabilities, but is not attached to the outcome. Hope also implies a certain amount of perseverance, believing that something is possible even when there is some evidence to the contrary. Hope may be directed toward something minor or towards something extremely significant. "False hope" does not exist - according to the definition there is always space for hope. "False hope" may be an example of positive thinking.


No. I don't see a problem with this type of exploration before marriage. As long as both persons involved are comfortable with it, it shouldn't have a negative impact on a happy marriage.\n\nHave fun, enjoy eachother's company.

how to write a good transcrip self-evaluation?

Your transcript is the official record of your grades.  Using it as a source for self-evaluation would entail explanations why some grades were not as stellar as they might have been, giving the essence of what you actually did learn.  You might show a trend of grades getting better or a trend to show what courses really reflect the emphasis you wish to follow.

How much does the air in an 10x20x30 foot room weigh?

Air has its own weight. It's quite easy to demonstrate this by weighing an empty balloon on a set of accurate scales. Then pump the balloon up with a bicycle pump and weigh it again. The balloons got heavier. The reason it's got heavier is because the balloon is now full of compressed air. If air didn't have any weight, then the balloon with compressed air in it would weigh the same as the empty balloon. Because its heavier, we've demonstrated that air has weight. \n\nBecause the weight of air varies with pressure and temperature it has to be defined accurately. Meteorological offices and aviation textbooks use the following figures. \n\nThe weight of dry air (no moisture content) at 0 deg C and under a normal atmospheric pressure of 1013 mbar is 1.293 Kg/cu metre. \nThe weight of dry air (no moisture content) at 0 deg C and at a pressure of 1000 mbar (1 Bara) is 1.275 Kg/cu metre. \n\nSo find out the volume of the room ie lenght x breadht x height and apply the above values.


The people in each graduating class do it. Usually you get a committee together. Your school does not have any responsibility for you once they release you into the world.\n\nThere are companies that will do it. They charge a fee, usually included in the price of dinner and the memory book. The last quote I got was $75 - $85 per person for a 3-course meal with dancing to a DJ afterwards.\n\nYour school will be busy educating the students who were behind you. They will not have the time, energy or funds to organize reunions.\n\nFinding everyone is usually the hard part; women are especially difficult, as they change their name when they get married. Out of 500 people who graduated with me 40 years ago, we have valid addresses for 200 - 250, and we know 43 have died.\n\nThe 5th, 10th and 15th are usually not very well attended. The 20th, 40th and 50th are the big ones.\n\nColleges sometimes arrange tables or booths or a cordinator for all classes for Homecoming weekend, but they get a signifigant amount of money from alumns, and it is in their interest to keep school spirit alive.

Who out there has gone through a VERY bitter break-up and managed to get over the hurt and anger, and HOW ?

You can't just walk away angry and distract yourself with the next encounter.  You can't escape yourself.\n\nUnderstand your feeling.  Analyze it.  Understand the other person and what they did, unpalatable as it may be to do.\n\nThey may never give you "closure" so give it to yourself.\n\nResolution, not escape.  Thats how.

what do i do to be more muscular and more length?

we build muscles by stressing them out. lift some weights or play more. i have no idea about the height thing though. i'm guessing that's generic. but you can do exercises for your back & shoulder muscles to give you better posture- that would make you appear taller. in any case, holding your head high always helps.

what does the ironical grammar mean in "we dont need no education"?

It's also a protest against an education system that is turning pupils into bricks in the society's wall, i.e. is forming the kids into the sort of citizens the state desires, the kind that doesn't question the way the wall is built or the reason for it's existence.  \n\nThe irony is that the young people do need education, not of the sort the system is providing however.\n\nWe don't need no education\nWe don't need no thought control\nNo dark sarcasm in the classroom\nTeachers leave them kids alone\nHey teacher leave them kids alone\nAll in all it's just another brick in the wall\nAll in all you're just another brick in the wall

What would you think of another high school wrestler if he always liked and wanted to get weight in the nude?

Maybe he knows that his weight will always be on the edge and doesn't want to risk being overweight.\n\nThen again, maybe his body is really ripped and he's using the opportunity to show the opposition as an intimidation ploy.  He's already got you thinking about it, rather than wrestling itself.

With Israel being threatened by Iran to destroy them completely, would God intervene as Israel is His People?

whene your man says hell call you back and he never dose what would you do?

Unless there's a legitimate reason for him not calling you back, "he's just not that into you". You make it sound like his behavior is consistent so if you're making the relationship a priority and he isn't, it may be time to move on. Make yourself less available. I would spend more time with friends and ignore his calls. That way you're out there meeting new guys and he'll either come around or you'll find one that returns phone calls.


Is one year too short of a time or too long after a break up to get back in to a relationship?

it only depends on how emotionally ready you are to take on another relationship. i would say you'd better get rid of all that baggage first before dealing w/ a new love cuz it would be unfair to them.

What happens to the acquired firm after the merger is finalized?

Redundant employees get fired\nIf you have factory working 24 hours a day at 50% of capacity in Company A and another factory working 24 hours a day at 50% of capacity in Company B you modify one to also produce whatever the other factory is producing and you increase the production to 100% and close the other factory. \nYou usually sell parts of the company that you don't want. For example when Pfizer bought Warner Lambert. They bought it because the wanted the drug business and they sold the Chiclets Adams to another company.\nPolitics change in the acquired company. Some companies has properties and some companies lease properties. If the big company leases and small company owns then they start selling all the properties (And after they have sold they pay rent to the new owner)

When will nanoscale become the things that it promises.?

It already has.  For example, Altair (stock symbol ALTI) now makes nanotech Lithium Titinate battery electrode materials that make smaller more powerful batteries that can be rapidly charged and discharged without explosions and at a wider range of operating temperatures.  The battery life is also long eneough that if used in a say a golf cart for example, when the cart wears out you can reuse the same battery in the new cart.


I'm not really sure what you are asking or what you want to know.  I am a counselor/therapist and my first few sessions are generally getting to know someone, what has brought them in, what they want to change, what they have tried before to fix their problem, and other information to get a complete evaluation of their problem.  We then discuss a diagnosis and treatment options.  Every counselor has their own personal styles - I use a lot of humor when appropriate, am down to earth, honest, and try to see things from my client's perspective as much as possible.  I don't pass judgment on the individuals I work with - that's not my job.  But I try to guide them the best I can to find relief and solutions that work for them.

Why can't people understand that abortion is killing innocent life ?

They're selfish.  Most would reconsider if they saw what happens to the baby in an abortion.\n\nI'm saddened by the "Pro Abortion" mantra "Don't tell me what to do with my body".  What about all those baby girls who will never have a 'choice' because the life was sucked out of their little bodies?\n\nKathy Ireland, Supermodel \n"I was once pro-choice. And the thing that changed my mind was, I read my husband's biology books, medical books and what I learned is simply what it states - this isn't even morally -- this is pure biology.  At the moment of conception, a life starts. And this life has its own unique set of DNA, which contains a blueprint for the whole genetic being.  The sex isdetermined.  Now people ask the question, well, is it a human being?  We know there's a life because it's growing and changing." \nFrom ABC's television weeknight show, "Politically Incorrect", May 1, 1998 \n-----------------------------------------------------------\nCountry singer Naomi Judd appeared on the Sally Jesse Raphael show on March 6, 1998 She explained that when she became pregnant as an unwed teenager, abortion was "not an option for me." \nShe went on to say that she has "worked as a labor and delivery nurse...I've seen ultrasounds...you know that those babies are real." She reminded the audience that if she had had an abortion, the world would have been deprived of the great singing talent of her daughter and fellow performer Winona Judd.  \n-----------------------------------------------------------\nDolores O'Riordan: Lead Vocalist, The Cranberries: "I am in no position to judge other women, you know. But I mean, why did she get pregnant? It's not good for women to go through the procedure [abortion] and have something living sucked out of their bodies. It belittles women. Even though some women say, 'Oh, I don't mind to have one,' every time a woman has an abortion, it just crushes her self-esteem smaller and smaller and smaller." (Source: You!

Don't worry about that. Most Jr. High relationships last for about a week so they are seriously pointless. They just date because they think it looks "cool" but it really doesn't. Just be a kid for now. When you get older you will have more time to worry about junk like that. hth

The twist drill bit is the type produced in largest quantity today. It can be used to bore in metal, plastic, wood and stone.\n\nThe twist drill bit was invented by Steven A. Morse[1] of East Bridgewater, Massachusetts in 1861. He received U.S. Patent 38119 for his invention on 7 April 1863. The original method of manufacture was to cut two grooves in opposite sides of a round bar, then to twist the bar to produce the helical flutes. This gave the tool its name. Nowadays, the drill is usually made by rotating the bar while moving it past a grinding wheel to cut the flutes.

i have give 12 coins . one is fake . i can only weigh 3 times . how can i find fake one?

First: 6 coins on one side, 6 coins on the other.\nResult: Whatever side is heaviest has the fake coin.\n\nSecond: 3 coins on one side, 3 coins on the other, from the pile that was heaviest in step one.\nResult: Again, the side that is heaviest has the fake one.\n\nThird: Take any two coins of the three you have left and weigh them. \nResult: If they are exactly the same weight then the one you have NOT wieghed is the fake. If one side is heavier than the other then that one is the fake.\n\nHope that was clear enough.

Do you know the fact thats hows STUDY = FAIL......Check it up with answer given in details....................

Let's see from Mathematics view.\nStudy is a word.\nNo study is two words. But in this case, no study doesn't mean the word (no X study)\nNo study is definition of person who's not studying\n\nSo you cannot SIMPLY factorise it from\nStudy + No Study = Study (1 + No)\nIt's not right\n\nSame rules apply for 'fail' and 'no fail'\n\nFurthermore,\n\ngive 'study' = 5\nso 'no study' is 0,\nnot no = 0, and study is 5.\n\nBesides if you picture as unknowns,\n\nstudy =  A\nno study = B\n\nDon't simply play with maths without knowing the rules

do u think President Bush is a stupid retarded monkey or am i the only person who thinks so?

I think he is a stupid puppet from Texas, which means he's packin'. Look if you want an example of how stupid he is, he supports the dead penalty, and yet he says his biggest role model is Jesus. Now, when he was the governor of TX he did not issue one single pardon, not one. which means that is Jesus would have been sentenced in TX he'd been crucified anyway


If he holds me everynite and tells me in my ear the he loves me is real or is it a lie?

It is not about how he feels about you when you are together but about how he feels when you are apart. for example every man is honest by a LOCKED vault. but who is honest when the vault door is open and no one else is around. if he really loves you then not only do you know it but everyone else does too.


If you can get kicked out of heaven into hell, but can't go from hell to heaven, isn't everyone hellbound?

Unfortunately the number of sinners which directly correlates to the number of people in existence may approach infinity but we cannot reproduce so much as to get there. So really the n limit would never approach infinity as the asymptote would actually be just a hole. Now on that hole would be the n number of people (sins included) that could no longer reproduce and the function would simply end. Since we dont seem to have an explanation for this you assume the rest of the people in sins graph are infact imaginary and so on the entirely different dimension in which the graph plots those saved as well. Looking back from this plot of saved people who are also sinners the coexistent of the real point and the imaginary one allow the overriding of the imaginary to be forever held in the non sinner world without time as they are in fact plotted both within it. So all this goes to say that the answer is no. You can't get kicked out of heaven in the first place but if you were our function then could not simply end becasuse it is at the imaginary points which actually double back over the now no longer "function" that allow the heaven in the first place. So mathematics are not a tool of satan, though they have become a terribly unskillfully used tool of man to manipulate any situation :)

what do you do with a teen that thinks he knows it all?

ALL teenagers think they know everything there is to know about everthing. In time he will hopefully outgrow it, if not, eventually someone will put him in his place in no uncertain terms and he'll figure it out from there on out.


how has the adaptation of the flowering plant overcome the absence of an aquatic environment to support the?

The plants basically evolved over time. The plants that could survive on land did and had plenty of nutriens and no competion. So they had to devolp ways of carrying nutrients to the plant since they could no longer use water. They then devolped xelom and phyleom (possibly mispelled) which are similiar like the blood vessels in our body(no blood in plants). Main point is that they had to overcome not using water to transport nutrients inside of them. The flower is mainly to do with spreading the seeds. It devolped so that seeds would find a way to less populated areas and have less competion. Hope this helped.

Does anyone have information about federal prison camps?

Prisons used for punishment are a relatively new phenomenon, dating back less than 150 years. Mass incarceration in the U.S. is an even newer phenomenon dating back less than 30 years. When societies evolve, they change their means of social control. Not so long ago, it became unacceptable for society to put its citizens in stocks, or publicly dunk them in water, brand them or to burn them alive. Confinement as a form of punishment was an evolved step, and now it is time to move on to more evolved methods of dealing with social problems before we normalize not only incarceration but obscenely high levels of incarceration. \n\nOne of Alabama's largest farming operations is run by the state prison system - July 26, 2003 - Inmates raise crops and catfish and tend livestock, generating about $2 million in revenue last year for running prisons and paying salaries. The inmates are paid 25 cents an hour. \n\nAmerican's Current Assessment of Crime and Punishment - September 22, 2002 - This site contains some very good graphs about American's current assessment of crime and punishment.  The results of the survey are surprising. \n\nACLU POLL - September 22, 2002 - New Poll Shows Surprisingly Forgiving Attitude Toward Crime and Punishment: Most Americans Don't Want to Throw Away the Key. \n\nBad Investment - Take it from a businessman: The War on Drugs is just money down the drain. Governor Gary Johnson: "Locking up more and more people ... whose real problem is that they are addicted to drugs, is simply a waste of money." \n\nBreeding Violence - Locking people up is supposed to make our streets safer, but it may be doing the opposite. \n\nCALFORNIA DOC RESTITUTION 15 DAY RE-NOTICE - March 7, 2003 - Here is a review of the files received from the CA DOC on this issue. \n\nCHILDREN OF PRISONERS IN THE USA - May 5, 2003 - This is The Child Welfare League of America (CWLA) and it operates the Resource Center in collaboration with NIC and with CWLA's partners, the American Correctional Association (ACA) and the National Council on Crime and Delinquency (NCCD).

Is it true that rhinoceroses seek out and extinguish fires?

There are quite a number of legends about the rhinoceros stamping out fire. The story seems to have been common in Malaysia and Burma.\n\nThis type of rhinoceros even had a special name in Malay, 'badak api', where badak means rhinoceros and api means fire. The animal would come when a fire is lit in the forest and stamp it out.\n\nIf there is or can be any truth in the legend, it would be hard to decide. Suffice it to say that there has been no sighting of this phenomenon in recent history. \n\n\nRemember, kids, only you can stomp out forest fires" \nSmokey the Rhino

what the difference between masons freemasons and knight of columbus please no b.s answers?

The Knights of Columbus were actually started in response to anti-Catholic bias in Connecticut during the late 19th century.  Today, the KoC is a Catholic men's organization that raises money for a number of causes.  Our council's largest cause is seminarians from our parish.  I can not speak to the Masons, only that they are an organizatoin much older than the KoC.  Many of the founding fathers of this country were Masons, and many people have a great deal of conspiracy theories about them.\n\nThe comments of Rev. Trask are a reminder of the great deal of anti-Catholic bias that still exists today.  It is truly unfortunate that someone that professes to be a Christian still holds such latent hatred in their heart.
