I believe the best way to teach someone algebra is to focus on the core skills, and make sure that this person has mastered each skill, one at a time.\n\nFirst you need to be sure that this person has mastered all the key math skills leading up to algebra, including:\nmultiplication, division, addition, and subtraction; \nfractions; \norder of operations; \nnegative numbers;\ncommutative property  5 + 6 = 6 + 5; and\ndistributive property  2*(10 + 4) = 2*10 + 2*4\nIf the student doesn't master these skills before moving forward, math will forever be a frustrating and difficult subject.\n\n\nA common mistake many people make in teaching algebra is not appreciating all the new concepts that one needs to understand before handling even the easiest problems.  Math can be easy for most students if you teach one skill at a time, and give them a chance to practice and master each skill before moving on.\n\nI've tutored many students, and this is the approach I've used successfully.  I give many, many example problems until I know a skill is fully mastered before moving to the next skill.  I usually follow this sequence of topics:\n\n1.  The symbol for multiplication is no longer an "X"\nX is used as a variable in algebra, so students have to stop thinking of it as a multiplication sign.  Give problems using a dot as the multiplication sign.\n[MANY practice problems]\n\n\n2. The inverse of operations:  How do you undo an operation?\n27 + 3\nIf you want to get the 27 alone, how do you get rid of the 3?\nThe opposite of addition is subtraction, so you subtract 3:\n27 + 3 - 3 = 27\nAnd other operations:\n27 - 3 \n27 * 3\n27 / 3\n[MANY practice problems]\n\n\n3. Handling unknown variables\nVariables are a new concept, so many students get scared when dealing with letters in math.\nBegin with easy questions that they're familiar with:\n5 * 4 = X;  find X\n21 + 4 = X;  find X\n[MANY practice problems]\n\n\n4. Some harder problems with variables, still not using algebra yet\nX + 4 = 6; find X\n(What number plus 4 is 6?)\nX * 3 = 12; find X\n(What number times 3 is 12?)\n[MANY practice problems]\n\n\n5. Solving those same easy problems using algebra by performing the same operation to both sides of an equation in order to get X alone.\nX + 4 = 6; find X\nYou want to get X alone, so you undo the "+4" by subtracting FROM BOTH SIDES\nX + 4 - 4 = 6 - 4\nX = 2\n[MANY practice problems]\n\n\n6. Handling multiple operations:  Undo the addition or subtraction first, then the multiplication or division.\n4*X + 15 = 23\nYou want to get X alone, so you subtract 15 from both sides:\n4*X + 15 - 15 = 23 - 15\n4*X = 8\nThen divide both sides by 4:\n4*X/4 = 8/4\nX = 2\n[MANY practice problems]\n\n\nMastering this level of basic algebra takes the brightest students less than 30 minutes.  Any student who has already mastered all the pre-algebra skills can master basic algebra through skill 5 in under an hour.  Skill 6 can take a few hours of practice.


Do people sense when they're going to die?

if paracetamol n migraine tablets won't shift my sore head is it serious?

you must be from the UK.  paracetamol = acetaminophen in US.  there are so many questions to figuring out why you might still have a headache after taking medication.  if it is really bothering you, consider the following questions and talk to your healthcare provider: what were you doing when it started? where does it hurt? how long have you had the headache?  does the pain fluctuate or ever go away?  what does the pain feel like? does anything make it better or worse?  have you tried any other measures for relief (heat, cold, etc)?  any other symptoms (nausea, vomiting, sensitivity to light/sound/smell, fever, stiff neck)?  \n*is this the worst headache of your life?  \n*is there anything different about this headache?  \n** if the answer to either of these is yes, you may want to go to emergency and see what's going on.  otherwise, follow up sometime this week.  hope that helps and you feel better.


How do you end a relationship, that has kids involved?

Just be completley honest and open with your man and tell him how you feel and ask him questions that are on your mind such as how he feels, if he agrees, or is he upset. Be very sweet and word things nicely with out affending him or blamming him for anything. When you decide on your decision you both should talk to your children about it cuz it will effect them too. Kids are smart and catch on fast!


Are viruses alive? \nAnyone with a cold or the flu virus feels as if they are under attack by some organism. But in the scientific community it's still an open-ended question. This is why viruses do not belong to a kingdom of living things. Just because a virus seems alive doesn't mean it is alive. After all, it's not even a single-celled organism.\n\nA virus is little more than a strand of DNA or RNA covered by a protein coating. Viruses are a thousand times smaller than bacteria and come in a wide range of shapes. Some look like weird, tall spiders whereas others look like prickly porcupinelike soccer balls.\n\n...\n\nAs humans, we like to classify things because it helps us understand the physical world. Viruses must have a host cell to live and reproduce. Outside of the host cell, viruses are pieces of genetic molecules that can do nothing by themselves. Viruses are right on the border between living and nonliving. Some biologists currently see the virus as a nonliving infectious particle. Other biologists disagree and suggest they are alive because of what happens inside the host cell. \n\nGetting a definite answer if viruses are alive or not may never happen. \n\nBut hey, that's life.

Not *all* guys hate big girls.  I have heard one theory that if the guy happens to be below, he might be "snuffed out" but even that is extreme.  I think this subject is interesting since guys think that their "size of the pole" is all that matters.  The other theory I've heard is that guys want the girl they can put their arms around and hold safely.  I really don't know what else to say without sounding rude.


1. Download the application packages at some of the b-school websites. Take a look at the admission essay questions. You'll need to do well in this area to distinguish yourself from others especially if you are weak in any other areas.\n\n2. I would also talk to as many current students and MBA graduates from the schools you're interested as possible. In your application or essay, you can mention that you've talked to John Doe (Class of 199X) of their business school, it shows your sincere interest in their school. Business is about your network and b-school is no different. The more people you know from these top schools that are willing to speak positively for you, the better your chances of getting in. I would even write to the admissions officers.\n\n3. Keep current with b-school trends. Understand what kind of students they are looking for. Business Week is a good source. Also check out princeton review, kaplan, wetfeet.com, and vault.com.\n\nGood luck!


how can you tell if a girl is faking an orgasm?

If the girl is really good at faking - then there's really no way that you could tell ;) \n\nWhen's she's having one, a girl's kegel muscles will contract (sometimes even flutter) - then she will have some, um. . . extra lubrication down there. \n\nOr you can also ask her. Don't worry - she'll lie and say she is no matter what!!! LOL

who is the best basketball player on the piston team?

Chauncey Billups. He's their captain for a reason. Not only can he hit that 3 ball with regularity but he can also post up inside because he's so strong. He also has a knack for hitting the big shots hence the nickname Mr. Big Shot. For all his individual offense he can also get shots for his other teammates with his excellent playmaking abilites. No other piston can boast of his inside outside abilities, playmaking, clutch, and leadership abilities like Chauncey.


should you give a guy a second chanse if he dumped you once before?

It totally depends on the reason he dumped you.  If it were for another female....NO.\nIf it were because of misunderstanding ensure that you outline your expectations and don't give in to easily....make him earn your love, but generally I'd say\nNO...YOU HAD YOUR CHANCE.

Are westerners (except politicians) naive?Are western politicians crafty?Where were Iraq's nuclear weapons?

First of all if you did a little research no one ever said Iraq had nuclear weapons.  They had weapons of mass destruction (chemical weapons and so on).  Democrats and Republicans said this.  And yes westerners are naive.  They think we can just leave these evil terror groups alone and nothing will happen to us.  Politicians are crafty because they have to get things done and make decisions that the naive people can't do.  They have to protect this country while people like far left freaks cry and think we shouldn't confront evil.

Which is more important, counting calories or counting carbs?

It is a mistake to believe that either of those methods will help you loose weight or be healthier.  You need to see a dietician and get a balanced diet based on your very own situation.  No single method can work for every one.\n\nMy dietician asked me questions about what I eat and what I like. She measured and weighed me to determine my "frame".  She then explained the whole food into energy process with a simple diagram, and created a diet just for me, with all the foods I like, in the proper amounts.


Is it ok to have sex while my g'frnd is in menstrual cycle?

I'm assuming you mean is it ok to have sex with your girlfriend while she is having her menstrual period.\n\nYes, you can.  Still wear a condom because while risk of pregnancy is very very very low during a woman's period, you can still catch or spread a sexuall transmitted disease.  (as for how she can get pregnant, it is very unlikely but it has something to do with late release of the egg) \n\nSome women have no desire for sex during their periods, other women rather enjoy it.  Take the lead from her.  It can get kind of messy unless she is using a diapharm for birth control, she can use that during sex.


Is it the SIZE or the MOTion. Ladies tell me?

I answered a question like this some time ago. Some people said it's not the size of the boat, it's the motion of the ocean. But it's kinda hard to get o Europe with a row boat. Size is important. But the most important part is that the guy know where your G-spot is. Only a long term relationship guy can know that.

Ladies,who is your favorite cartoon character and why?

I'm a huge fan of the old Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I always loved Donatello because he was the nerdier one of the four. He loved to invent, create and take things apart. I've always loved that sort of stuff, too. Donatello was my dream turtle when I was growing up.


It is commonly thought that BC stands for "before Christ" and AD stands for "after death." This is only half correct. \n\nBC does stand for "before Christ." \nAD actually stands for the Latin phrase "anno domini" which means "in the year of our Lord."  \n\nThis system doesnt exist in the Bible and wasnt implemented and accepted until several centuries after Jesus' death.


What items do I need for winter camping to stay warm?

A nice pair of silk long johns is a good place to start. Other little treats for yourself include down clothing, they even make pants. I have a pair of down booties for use in the sleeping bag. Other little clothing tidbits. Wear a hat at all times, even sleeping. You can also sleep with a warm water bottle. Some cautions with this: make sure you know whether the bottle leaks and Nalgene's are notoriously leaky, if you or your bag gets wet, you may be having a harder time keeping warm. If so you can contain it in a ziplock bag or a roll down velcro closure bag. If the water is too hot, you should put it in a sock or something to keep from burning your skin. My hiking buddy/co worker went to bed with a hot water nalgene between his thighs one night. He thought that was clever because a LOT of blood passes through there and warm blood travels to other parts of the body, warming them. But he woke up with blisters on his thighs...dangerously close to the family jewels. Last word about hot water bottle, if you use a collapsible canteen or bottle, make sure you fill it allllll the way up, because even then your bottle will cave in as the water cools down. At the very least you want to minimize this so you don't ruin your bottle. If the bottle cools this way, it will never hold as much as it used to.\n\nA good camping mat. The closed cell foam ones that roll up are cheap and effective and very lightweight, the next step up is the self inflating ones but they are heavier. And you can buy covers for those inflating mats that convert them into a chair.\n\nYou need to dress warm. The most effective thing in my opinion, and also more versatile, is to dress in multiple light layers. In the winter, I wear about 8 layers in the coldest weather...long john shirt, tee shirt, maybe a button down shirt, a fleece vest, as many fleece crewneck tops (the fuzzy polartec type, not sweathshirt fleece) as I can pile on, and my rain jacket. The good news is that if I can add or remove pieces at will until I am perfectly comfortable. IF you go the other route of a couple indoor layers and then one big poofy piece you need to understand the principles of loft, which includes your sleeping bag.\n\nLoft is the way insulation in a comforter, parka, or sleeping bag works. They create tiny little air pockets around you and hold YOUR OWN body heat in them. IF you have a lot of clothing between you and the insulating item, you will actually defeat the purpose of the item because you insulate the item FROM your body heat. This is why many things are true: it is better to sleep with fewer clothing items when you want to be warmer in the bag. It is also important not to compromise loft by choosing an item that doesn't fit your body and causes you to squash it from the inside out, or with a bunch of heavy layers on top of it to squash it from the outside in. If you compress your item too much, even in storage, or in your pack or its stuff sack, there are fewer air pockets formed and the item doesn't work as well.\n\nSO choose ONE dressing strategy and know how to apply it.\n\nOther important facts:\n\nAll the things discussed so far are only ways to insulate yourself. They are not generating any heat on their own. To do that, you need to DRINK plenty of water, and you need to EAT, warm foods that are high in sugars and fats are excellent, and you need to MOVE. A bedtime snack can be anything from a candy bar to a stick of butter, NO kidding! A bedtime activity could be a couple minutes jumping up and down, then one last go at the fire. AND YOU MUST DRINK WATER. \n\nEven if you can't stand cold liquids. EVEN IF you don't want to be up all night peeing. Your body needs the water to circulate the blood, and to metabolize food, both of which assist you in staying warm. Another thing you need to know about water is that both dehydration and hypothermia have the early warning sign of disorientation and confusion. The trouble is, if YOU are the one


Is our country prepared for a war against Iran or N.Korea?

The answer in one word:\nNO!!!!\n\nThe answer in many words:\nHELL NO!!! Because the number of troops for the military are streched so thin, its unblievable!! The US will not attack North Korea, because they have been spending too much time on Iran. And they can't do anything about Iran, because Iran has the backing of Russia, China, and India on the political front and the Hamas who is now in control of Palestine along  with the hezbolla militants will start hundreds of terror attacks. Now in Iraq, the Shi'ie muslim party is in power and they will soon become a major allie of Iran and so the US will be even more busy in Iraq. Iran will not be like Iraq that was invaded in a week, it won't be invaded, and hence we will have another Vietnam on our hands. And lastly , If the US even makes a threat to attack Iran, the oil supply from the second largest distributor of oil in the world will be cut off and hence the already high oil prices will triple, causing mayham!!! Does that answer your question? If it does, vote mine as the best answer so I can get 10 points.


How do I stop a ScanDisk aka CheckDisk while in the countdown?


Is paper over? I know it causes bad pollution, so are we done using it?

I was wondering about this earlier today.  I think we're stuck with paper for quite a while since it's so cheap, but it's conceivable that we would eliminate it relatively soon.  Personally, I really like the idea of having something tangible in my hands with real pages that I can turn.  I was reading some Shakespeare today and I thought, "Wow, if I had a palm pilot, I could just download the text to it and I wouldn't have to waste paper or latch myself to my computer."  So what if one day we all went around carrying big sheets of plastic folded up like newspapers and whatever we wanted to read we could download to them?  Scientists are working on creating cheap, thin, clear "screens", so it's not entirely science fiction.  Paper will probably be around for a long time, but I think it would be interesting to look up whether paper waste has gone down even in recent years just with the popularization of the internet.


how do i make a rap music online with a microphone?

It is equal to about 3.26 light years. Parsec stands for "PARallax of one arc SECond". It is extensively used in measuring astronomical distances.\n\nIt is based on the method of trigonometric parallax, one of the most ancient and standard methods of determining stellar distances. The angle subtended at a star by the mean radius of the Earth's orbit, around the Sun, is called the parallax. The parsec is defined to be the distance from the Earth of a star that has a parallax of 1 arcsecond. Alternatively, the parsec is the distance at which two objects, separated by 1 astronomical unit, appear to be separated by an angle of 1 arcsecond.\n\nSee: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parsec

what is the best thing for relieving and living with arthritis pain?

It depends on what kind you have (there are over 100 types).  If you have osteo, anti-inflammatories usually work well to relieve the pain, and you need to keep active to keep your joints fluid.  Walking is great exercise, but water aerobics are also great - the warm water soothes the joints, and there are specialized arthritis classes available in most areas that focus on range of motion and loosening the joints.  check out http://www.arthritis.org for locations, and lots of other great tips for living with arthritis.\n\nIf you have rheumatoid, you need to take the prescription meds your doctor prescribes.  I have had a lot of luck with Enbrel.  Anti-inflammatories and many other meds can provide relief as well.  It's also very important to exercise and eat healthy with RA, since it is an autoimmune disease, and the best thing for a bad immune system is staying healthy!!  The same type of exercise are great.\n\nAlong with just the general need to exercise, losing weight (if you are over weight) will decrease the stress on the joints.  Water exercised are great especially if you are overweight because there is far less pressure on all the joints that way.  Be sure to talk to your doctor before starting an exercise schedule.\n\nBe sure to visit the arthritis.org site for lots of great tips and info on living with arthritis.

why does popularity matter in highschool?

The type of popularity highlighted in The Breakfast Club and Mean Girls, is actually a relatively new phenomenon in our culture. In a nutshell, it can be seen as the consequence of teenagers living in a consumer society, a society whose economic existence depends on people constantly having a desire to consume.  Marketers, in various ways, create artificial premium importance on many goods by convincing teenagers that -- by consuming them -- they will gain social acceptance.  This drive to be accepted, though natural for social creatures like humans, is compounded by the fact that objects and group affiliation now offer a tangible way of 'declaring' just how accepted someone is.  For example, the 'preps' who wear Abercrombie and are always seen at the shopping galleria can declare their popularity by buying a certain brand of clothing, which marketers have manipulated their peers into thinking makes them more popular than someone who wears Brand X.  Further,  teenagers in a consumer society have far more free time and disposable income than did teenagers just a century ago.  Time that would have been spent doing chores or working in the field, is today used by teenagers to contemplate their popularity and to work on improving it.

Why is it that when I man speaks to an attractive female and she does not respond he calls her a "b"?

Because they feel rejected.  It is very rude for a women to not respond when ANYONE speaks to them.  There is nothing wrong with simply saying hello back.  This will save you from being call a "B".  When they say that, its because they feel that you are being stuck up and rude, which is sometimes true.  Just speak back and keep going.  If he further tries to talk to you, just same " I have a boyfriend, Im not interested".  If you're nice about it, he'll take the rejection better.  If you ignore him, its like a slap in the face.


What kind of jobs do people get after they study linguistics?

There are many jobs you can get if you study linguistics, the scientific study of language.\n\nFirst of all, there are jobs in linguistics itself.  This includes linguistics research and teaching linguistics, that is, becoming a professor of linguistics.  Linguists also work in other university departments like anthropology, psychology, writing, and so forth.  Other linguistic researchers have laboratories or do their work in the field.\n\nLinguists who are interested in second language acquisition often get involved in language teaching.  This includes teaching language in many different countries, being administrators of language-teaching programs, and being language teacher educators (in other words, teaching people how to teach language).  Linguists can also be teachers in public schools, reading experts, or educational administrators.\n\nLinguists also often get involved with computational linguistics, which in general means teaching computers how to make language, or recognize language.  This could be anything from creating a word-processor grammar checker to making a bank telephone system that understands spoken commands.\n\nLinguists are also well-equipped to go into fields that involve careful analysis of rhetoric and writing.  This could be technical writing, reporting, philosophy, and on and on.\n\nFinally, linguists can go into other fields that are related to language and/or the mind, such as psychology, law, medicine, speech pathology, and many others.\n\nAlthough the military and other government organizations often call their translators and interrogators linguists, these people aren't actually engaged in the scientific study of language, just learning how to use it.

It depends on many factors:\n1)university/college issuing the degree\n2)what are your expectations for your career? What positions do you want to have access to?. Do you prefer a management or a technical orientation?\n3)your real interests (e.g. what you like to do, what you do well, etc.)


how do you clean a laptop keyboard after spilling coke on it?

if its not under warranty, remove the keyboard from the notebook, and steam mashine the keys, then rub it with paper towels then put back, as if u do that on a notebook with warranty it goes void, or you do it while the keyboard is still in the notebook you could render the notebook renderable to un-usable state if u liquid clean the keys.\n\ni suggested steam as its thin water and heat, yet cleans well, but not inside a computer, only the parts like under the keys or in the groves etc etc, if done while still wired in , it could steam the board (not good lol)\n\ntake care,\ndez

what do you boxing fans think of the retirement of stoney?

Norman "Stoney" Stone may have been very motivating as the trainer of John Ruiz, but he did not have enough respect for the referees (as in his altercation with ref. Randy Neumann during Ruiz's fight with Golota), and I feel he did not belong anywhere within the ropes. Overall, I'm glad that he retired.


can someone give me ideas for a boys 16 bday?

Yes, just as you would take yourself out of paper directory, you must indicate you wish to be ex-directory. It takes about a year to effect the change.\n\nSimilarly and less drastically, you can just ask that your full address be removed from the listing.

can my wife collect unemployment benefits because I was relocated?

The determination of your eligibility to collect unemployment compensation will be made by the state that you are moving from. When you relocate, the laws of the state within which you worked will dictate the outcome of your unemployement claim.  Each state is a little different, but generally, moving with your spouse does not qualify a person for unemployment benefits.  Consult your state's laws.

Who is the first person to play football?

Well actually you need more than 1 person to play football. \n\nBut Rutgers University and its neighbor, Princeton, played the first game of intercollegiate football on Nov. 6, 1869, on a plot of ground where the present-day Rutgers gymnasium now stands in New Brunswick, N.J. Rutgers won that first game, 6-4.\n\nThe game, which bore little resemblance to its modern-day counterpart, was played with two teams of 25 men each under rugby-like rules, but like modern football, it was “replete with surprise, strategy, prodigies of determination, and physical prowess,” to use the words of one of the Rutgers players. \n\nInterestingly enough, Rutgers has only won 18 games in its history since that game ...\n\nhttp://www.scarletknights.com/football/history/first_game.htm

Is it ok for a woman to express her interest in a guy?

To answer from a guy's perspective: Absolutely! Men and women communicate very differently. This is one of the reasons couples so often have communication problems; they fail to recognize that their partner relies on different types of communication then they do. Men generally understand verbal and visual cues, where women are more apt to pick up on more subtle messages like body language, voice tone, etc. Because of this, men often get frustrated when women do not say what is on their mind and instead expect the man to pick up the subtle "hints". I am not saying that us guys are any better; both sexes need to recognize these differences in communication styles and consider them when interacting with each other.


wat is difference between ac and dc starters?

An automobile has a DC (direct current) battery and therefore uses a DC starter.  Current flows in only one direction just as in a flashlight with batteries.\n\nMany snowblowers can be plugged into an AC (alternating current) outlet in the garage and use AC starters.  Current flows in opposite directions through the starter completing 60 cycles every second.  The voltage rises from zero to a peak drops to zero and continues to a negative peak before returning back to zero once each cycle.  The graph of voltage with respect to time forms a sinusoid.

Make sure to "sign-out" every time you use your account...sometimes your PC will hold on to certain information and act on it. Also, when you sign in again, I would go in under the "secure" mode just to be safe! Also, go to your "Tools" menu, then "internet options...next, click on "clear history" as well as "delete cookies" and also "delete files"...these are all temporary internet files that your computer hast setup while you were surfing the web! They should be cleaned out often to avoid situations like you are having! Hope this helps!

what are the effects of the building of the panama canal on the caribbean?

An objective analysis of the effect of constructing a sea-level canal across Central America is attempted. This canal, unlike the present Panama canal, has not been built, though it is a feasible proposition. The canal would run almost north-south, and would be 50 miles long. Proposed routes are noted; these resulted from a joint study by the US Army Corps of Engineers, the Atomic Energy Commission and the Panama Canal Co. in 1964. Extracts from their report are reproduced. In evaluating the report, the author takes account of some biological and physical features of the area, with particular attention to the potential effects of allowing mixing of Atlantic and Pacific biotas. The work of the Committee of Ecological Research for the Interoceanic Canal (CERIC), established to investigate the possible effects of building the canal, is reviewed. Finally, an alternative plan, involving the construction of a third, larger, set of locks on the present canal is presented, and the author concludes with the hope that ecological impact of canal building will be given as much attention as economic etc. when the decision to build, or not to build, the new canal is taken.

why don't we know everything (knowledge) when we are born?

Our brains are like brand new computers when we are born.\n\nThe computer is quite powerful, but you have to install the software applications you like, and you have to produce and acquire information that interests you.\n\nIf our brains had been full of knowledge at the moment of birth, life would be predetermined; you would not experience life as a unique and original experience.\n\nIn fact, as we grow older and our minds are more and more cluttered with information, memories, experiences, etc. we tend to be less open-minded and, as a result, we tend to experience less of life than the young child for whom everything around him is almost magical!


Does the height of the water in the bottle depend on the surface area of the water in the bowl?

The bottle is not vented.  If the bottle was vented at the top, all the water would flow out onto the floor.  Since it is not vented, a vacuum is created inside the bottle so the water stays in the bottle until the level in the bowl goes down far enough to uncover the mouth of the bottle and then it is vented until the level in the bowl fills up again to cover the mouth of the bottle back up.\n\nTry filling the sink with water...then dip a cup into the water in the sink and turn it upside down.  If you pull the cup up above the water level in the sink, the water will remain in the cup until the lip of the cup comes out of the water in the sink.  If you only let it stay out of the water for a split second, it may be possible to keep some of the water still in the cup.  The pet bowl works on this same principle.

What is the cure of diabetes and treatment?

There is no "cure" for diabetes yet; however, there has been promising research on a cure for Type 1 diabetes.\n\nThe treatment of diabetes is highly individualized, depending on the type of diabetes, whether the patient has other active medical problems or  complications of diabetes, and the age and general health at time of diagnosis. A health care provider will set goals for lifestyle changes, blood sugar control, and treatment.


Does any of the Christian denominations actualy follow all the doctorins of the New Testament?

INTERPRETATION.\n\nThat's what this is about.  Denominations form because of different ways of interpretting what the Bible says. You can try and find one that fits your interpretation exactly, but is that really going to help you grow as a Christian?  You should try and find fellowship with your fellow Christians and do so with men and women of other denominations.

What questions do they ask at initial interview for permanant residency by marriage?

depends on which country. if all documents correct may be NO questions. interviewer usually has 3 minutes for the interview. if suspicious or lacking info may interview seperately; what color your eyes, what job, parents names, etc.. Get some pics even now with as many of the family members possible, shows family approval, and any co-receipts, banks, etc. If good job/education of both maybe no problem, if the consul does not lose or mix-up your papers. visa wait may be from 3 months to more than a year. Fiance Petition/Application best way to go, marriage takes much longer, even if kids. Both of you go to interview. Always say marriage for love and companionship, NOT To Work to Make Money!!\nPS: act like you love each other, before, during, and after: eg. hold door and chair for wife, hold hands, look at each other, etc.

I'm 23 and haven't had my period in 6 month can anyone help?

Well, you could be pregnant, but it could also just be stress or even diet. Amenhorrea (not having your period) can be caused by many things. For example, if you are undernourished, your body will not want to expend energy on periods. Also, if you're stressed out, you tend to skip periods. Having said that, the wisest thing is to have it checked out by a phisician. Good luck.

how will the detroit Lions do with this new coah.?

Probably not a whole lot different than they did under Steve Mariucci. The problem in Detroit doesn't seem to be with the coaching staff, but moreso with the general manager and the players he brings in to make the team. But since general managers won't fire themselves, the next logical step is the coach ... so until Matt Millen gets dumped, expect more of the same in the Motor City.

what is the constitutional mandate of the DOST?

About Department of Science and Technology \n\nThe Department of Science and Technology (DOST) is mandated to: \n\nprovide central direction, leadership, and coordination of all science and technology activities in the country; and, formulate S&T policies, programs, and projects in support of national development priorities. The Department through the years: \n\n\n1958 - Congress passes a law establishing the National Science Development Board (NSDB) upon the recommendation of Dr. Frank Co Tui, who was tasked to survey the state of Philippine S&T during the Garcia administration; \n1982 - NSDB revamped as the National Science and Technology Authority (NSTA) and accorded broader policy-making and program implementing functions; \n1987 - NSTA elevated to Cabinet level and becomes the DOST in response to increasing demands for S&T intervention in national development.\nIn the 90's, DOST's overall mission is embodied in the 1990-2000 Science and Technology Master Plan (STMP) that shows the direction and desired goals of Philippine S&T for both the public and private sectors. \n\nThe Medium-Term Plan of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST), for the period 1999-2004, outlines DOST's programs and projects in pursuance of the vision of a competent and competitive science community with a social conscience. \n\nGuided by the principles of competence, competitiveness, and conscience, the DOST shall pursue six priority flagship programs under the Arroyo Administration, namely: \n\n\nEstablishment of a Packaging R&D Center; \nExpansion of Regional Metrology Centers; \nComprehensive Program to Enhance Technology Enterprises; \nIntegrated Program on Clean Technologies \nS&T Intervention Program for the Poor, Vulnerable and Disabled; and \nComprehensive S&T Program for Mindanao \n\nAbout the LOGO\n\nEXCELLENCE, RELEVANCE, COOPERATION and COST-EFFECTIVENESS \n\nThe logo of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) consists essentially of four circles joined together side by side to form a square. The circles symbolize unit particles, the building blocks of nature which are the subject and substance of science and technology. The circle design gives an illusion of movement signifying progress through Science and Technology. \n\nThe space in the center of the joined circles forms a four-pointed star symbolic of scientific creativity. \n\nThe logo' s three-color scheme represents the unknown(black), truth and enlightenment (white) and progress (blue). \n\nThe logo's four circles represent the four guiding principles in our S&T development: EXCELLENCE, RELEVANCE, COOPERATION and COST-EFFECTIVENESS.

By and large, trees don't have absolute lifespans, as animals do. \n\nAccording to The Straight Dope, the most striking illustration of this is the bristlecone pine, Pinus aristata. A 1948 field guide noted that bristlecones reached maturity in 200-250 years, with "extreme ages of 300-375 years." Yet only 10 years later a researcher discovered a stand of bristlecones whose average age exceeded 4,000 years and in one case 4,600 years.\n\nOther examples are less dramatic but still instructive. Red maples live 80-250 years, American chestnuts 100-300, white oaks 300-600, bald cypress 600-1,200. These extremely broad ranges suggest that assigning a "life span" to trees is merely a statistical convenience rather than a reflection of an inherent limit. It would not be surprising (to me, anyway) if much older examples of these species were found.

How can religion Christianity have so many beiefs and denominations, intolerance to liberal who's right?

Regardless of what the more religious people might say, the Bible has been badly understood and misinterpreted since it was written.  Wars have killed many millions over the different ideas people have had and we, to this day, have many different churches believing in the same book yet not agreeing on it because interpretations have been passed down through generations and the children of these people have been force fed the supposed knowledge.  So we end up with a very one-sided debate with religion which we are supposed to respect, but unfortunately has lost much of it's respect.


Wow, Don't think that is an appropriate answer for this site.


It depends on how you define fit. Ten miles in 45 minutes is a great start. But I don't measure my workouts/rides in terms of miles. I measure it in terms of duration and quality. If you do a ten mile ride, and a majority of it is downhill, then you're really not getting much of a workout.\n\nI focus on the quality of the ride. I mix things up, mainly because I race.\n\nIn terms of weight management, I tend to work on long, slow base miles over the winter months. This helps the body learn to use fat as a source of energy before burning up other valuable energy sourecs. This also prepares the body for more intense workouts as the season progresses. That's when the intensity workouts kick in - things like sprint workouts, intervals (multiple reps at a higher, fixed intensity), hill repeats. This, combined with racing helps me raise and maintain my fitness and speed.\n\nTo translate it into something you can use, the basic message here is that whatever you do, increase the distance and/or intensity of your rides SLOWLY - this is to prevent injuries. Keep at it, and you'll find your fitness will improve. You'll find that you can ride farther and with less effort over the same distance as in the past.\n\nGood luck!

Men and women both start out the same.  We all have the same parts.  Eventually, men develop testicles and they descend.  Women develop ovaries and they remain in the abdomin.  But by then we all have nipples.  The ovaries produce chemicals that turn those nipples into male enticing and baby fueling glands.  For men, they remain as useless as the day they were born.

Is lasik painful and how effective is it?

I just had Lasik surgery about 3 weeks ago. I see so clearly now. It's great!!!! They give you a valium about 30 minutes before the procedure and they put numbing drops in your eyes too. It doesn't hurt, but it's a little uncomfortable. I was more nervous than anything else, but all went well. The only part I didn't care for much was when the doctor put the speculum on my eyes to make my eyelids expand and also so I couldn't blink. That was probably the most "pain" I felt. After it was all done, my eyes were and still are very sensitive to light. They're also dry, so I have to use drops. They said it was "normal"\nTry Lasik Plus Vision Center. They have great prices(I paid just under 2400.00 for both eyes together) They have payment plans too.

Can you eliminate any of the resonance structures on the basis of formal charges? (PLEASE HELP!)?

(this is a confusing problem because resonance structures are supposed to show how electrons configure themselves to satisfy its most stable structure--the question didn't really do a good job of representing this idea, most likely that the teacher rather have you do a challenging problem than having to learn how to do a problem)\n1) The formal charge on N=N=O appears to be N=-1, N=+1, and O=0. \n2) The formal charge on N(triple bond)N-0 is N=0, N=+1, and O=-1. \n3) The formal charge on N-N(trible bond)O is N=-2, N=+1, and O=+1\nFirst of all, Nitrogen likes to make 3 bonds with another element and Oxygen only likes to make 2 bonds with another element.\nIt also appears obvious that the higher the formal charge, the less stable the compound is. Therefore, the 3rd structure appears least frequently.\nAs a conclustion, it is plausible to say that the overall resonance structure of N-N bonding is 112 picometer since N(triple bond)N = 110 picometer and that most of the compound likes to remain in a N(triple bond)N structure, yet some also retain N=N or even N-N structure. The average averages to a number very close to 112pm.\nSimilarly, Oxygen only likes to form 2 bonds. Therefore, the N-O bond lenght comes down to 119 since it is the average of the more stable N=O with the less stable N-O.\n\nHope that helps,\nUltimeaciax

best commercial ever? i liked the verizon one where the guy and ferret were in a staring contest?

I liked the Dr. Pepper commercial with the dedicated boyfriend.  To the tune of Meat Loaf's "I would do anything for love (but I won't do that)", the boyfriend gets tampons for his girlfriend, does yoga, goes shopping with her among other things.  But there was one final straw:  she tried to take his Dr. Pepper.  He gets up and runs away, leaving her.\nSo funny!

Can anyone help me in designing a Downlink Cellular Jammer as my Study Project?

That's a big subject.  Analog or digital? U.S., Europe, Japan, Germany, Scandanavia, Germany, UK?  All use different systems.  Most use some form of spread spectrum technology, which makes them resistant to jamming.  A good reference is Peterson, Ziemer, and Borth, "Introduction to Spread Spectrum Communications", ISBN 0-02-431623-7.\n\nAlso, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_phone_jammer\n\n\nFor U.S., "The FCC has fielded enough queries about the legality of cell phone jammers that it issued a notice last year. In it, the agency warns that jammers violate federal laws that broadly prohibit interfering with licensed radio spectrum. Owning, manufacturing, marketing, offering for sale or operating a cell phone jammer is punishable by an $11,000 fine and up to a year in prison for each offense, the notice states."\n\nFrom http://www.newhousenews.com/archive/story1a092200.html

VoIP,Besides Vonage/ Direcway.Way out in the countryside and 911 is a problem?

I am not sure what your question is exactly it is not clear.  I assume you are trying to use Vonage with Direcway?  If so, don't expect to get it to work well.  The latency is too great with satellite internet.  Your signal is traveling 22,600miles into space and then 22,600 miles back to ground and then traveling through the terrestrial internet.  The long delays from that ruin a voip call.  You really need to get cable or DSL to use VOIP.  Another factor is if you have standard Direcway internet service your upload speed is MAX 128K and the Vonage uses 90K.  Notice I said your MAX upload speed is 128, this can varry based on time of day and other factors and may not provide you with the service you are trying to get.  You may want to try out Packet8 www.cincinnatiphone.com they require alot less bandwith....however you will still have the problem with latency from using satellite.


I would like to work from home online any suggestions or offers?

The best work-at-home idea is starting your own business.  That is not something you find on the internet - but something you create on your own.\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?


my family is moving to riyadh saudi arabia, muslims answer only please?

Again your little Islamic questions and worries :)\nSaudi Arabia is a little strict about Islamic rules, its like being in Vatican for a Catholic but don't worry, from the news I've heard Riyadh is a free area and there are many American families there, you will find it good( Or I wish so)\nAbout clothing it must be hot there, I think an answer is wear what you want to wear and fill your wardrobe with what you like but take some Manteaus with yourself, so you can wear it on them.Use bright colours.\n\nIn persia girls use tight short manteuas so they can look cooler but I don't know about Arabia costumes. Also here they feel free to go to parties and other social activities but again I don't know about Saudi Arabia.\nI again insist that Riyadh is just for American and really High Ranked Arabs, you will find many cool friends there and the rules aren't so strict there.\nAlso you can visit Dubai for holidays, there are lots of clubs there and there is no Islamic rules there(It is a Islamic city with no Islamic rules)\nAlso Iran is near and it is a calm county with kind people with lots of historic spots and beauties.\nThe facilities at riyadh are fantastic, its like dreams, don't worry.


What is the estimated amount of information on the internet (in Terabytes or whatever)?

This article in Technology Research News(TRN) says "the Internet is big by any measure:The Internet Systems Consortium pegged the number of Internet hosts as of January, 2004 at 233 million.Global Reach counted 729 million users online as of March, 2004.And a University of California at Berkeley study showed that,in 2002,532,897 terabytes of new data flowed across the Internet,440,606 terabytes of email was sent, and the Web contained 167 terabytes of data that was accessible to all users,plus another 91,850 terabytes in the deep Web where access is controlled.A terabyte is 1,000 gigabytes, or 1,000,000 megabytes,or the amount of information that can be stored on 213 DVDs,or one tenth the amount of information stored in the entire Library of Congress print collection".

German sentence structure is set. For normal sentence, Subject-conjugated verb-indirect object - direct object - time prep phrase - negation element - manner prep phrase - location prepr phrase - predicate noun/adjective - second verb. \n\nThis can be inverted, with the subject coming in the third 'position' and one of the other elements taking first place for emphasis. The conjugated verb always stays in second position (not second word, though!) in a main clause. Subordinate clauses require some adjustment, depending on how you connect them, but most often the conjugated verb goes to the end in a subordinate clause or sentence segment.

Why does an air conditioned room feel so much colder when it rains outside?

I'm not sure I've noticed this specific to rain, but I'll throw out an observation:\n\nFirst, the thermostat temperature is going to be different than the ambient temperature the farther you get from the thermostat.  This may seem obvious, but the difference can be quite notable, especially near doors and windows, and even more so where ever the sun is shining in.  You don't specify that you are going from sunshine to rain, but this may be part of what happens when a rainstorm comes through - in addition, if the rain is cold, it will chill the windows down and flip the temperature to where it is cooler near the windows than near the thermostat, instead of vice versa.  \n\nIt is also going to take time for this temperature change to get to the thermostat, so you may find the AC running, even though you don't need it anymore.


Does anyone know how to make a.m. radio reception better?

I guess you know that am radio reception is altered when you rotate your radio. To increase reception you have 2 alternatives. Either get a longer antennae (you can use the same antennae that you use for your tv regular,cable or satelite) or you can get a am reception booster from Radio Shack that electronically sucks in better reception but plan "A" works best.

Where can I find replacement electrical parts for a GE monitor top refrigerator?


The safest thing is to have someone else with you as a spotter.  Machines aren't necessarily safer than free weights, because clothing can get snagged, fingers pinched in the equipment, etc.  Most of all, though, injuries come from bad form.  Having another person watch you to make sure you're not leaning funny, even on machines, can really stave off all sorts of minor aches and pains.

The Republic of South Africa is a country located at the southern tip of the African continent. It borders the countries of Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, and Swaziland. Lesotho is an enclave entirely surrounded by South African territory.\n\nSouth Africa is a racially diverse nation. It has the largest population of people of Coloured, European, and Indian communities in Africa. Racial strife between the white minority and the black majority have played a large part in the country's history and politics, culminating in apartheid which was instituted in 1948 by the National Party. The laws that defined apartheid began to be repealed or abolished in 1990 after a long and violent struggle by the black majority, as well as some White, Coloured, and Indian South Africans.\n\nThe country is one of the few in Africa never to have had a coup d'état, and regular elections have been held for almost a century, although black South Africans were only enfranchised in 1994. This stability has made it a regional power and among the most stable liberal democracies in Africa. The economy of South Africa is the largest and best developed on the continent, with modern infrastructure common throughout the country.

Do you think the contestant show "Dancing With the Stars"....?

I think the main focus is on the dancing and that the costume is simply an element that completes the dance.  If a couple were dancing the jive and the female dancer had a long skirt on, then she couldn't perform the dance properly.  I definitely think that the dresses push the limit as far as trying to cover things up.  But that is the trend in ballroom dancing so the tv and celibrity angles just push the envelope even more.

The world record and the Olympic record in the long jump are two different things (as a world record does not need to be set during the Olympic games).

Why did God tempt Adam and Eve with a test he knew they would fail?

This is all assuming there was a place called the Garden of Eden, that Adam and Eve are the ancestors of all mankind, and that some control freak God gave them paradise, and then put one restriction on it. Awfully manipulative don'cha think?\nI sometimes wonder it that story wasn't created to explain why we don't all live in "paradise". What did "we" do to anger our God so that he would leave us in this sometimes harsh reality?\n\nCouldn't the big G, just give us a place to live of peace and tranquilty where we could live out or days happy and content?\n\nNo, you can only know up if you know down, you can only know right when you know left, you know night when you know day.... etc.\nLife is experience, life is choices, life is choosing to do more for others than you do for yourself or to choose only to care for your needs.\nIt was Man's test of himself (the apple I mean) not God's test of Man's loyalty or listening skills.\n\nIn the end I believe man wants to be challenged, he wishes to fight, seeks adventure, and suffers because of it, yet he also gains satisfaction and assuredness about his place in the universe.

Are we born sinners . when a child is born he/she  is innocent. The kingdom of GOD is for the innocents.?

sin is not what casts us into the pits of hell. A denial of God's undying mercy is what separates us from Him. Children are born selfish-- as they must be to survive. However, children are also born blessed by the Holy father. and that blessing is what keeps us close to him unless we ourselves choose to cast it away.

i need food choices to lose weight anyone got some recipes r something tht would be healthy and get me full?

what i do, and is working pretty well, is when im at the store, i try to buy single serving sized items.  like a frozen chinese dinner or something.. then pick the ones that have less than 500 calories, less than 10% of you total fat, and less that 5% of your saturated fat.\n\nexample product:\nTai Pei's General Tso's Spicy Chicken\n1 serving per package (340g)\n\ncalories 210\ntotal fat 3g   (4%)\nsaturated fat .5g   (3%)\ntrans fat  0g   (0%)\n\nCholesterol 30mg   (10%)\nSodium 640mg   (27%)\ncarbs 24g   (8%)\nfiber 6g  (25%)\nsugars  13g\nProtein  21g\n\nvit A 180%\nvit C 130%\ncalcium 10%\nIron 15%\n\nthis package is only meat and veggies... you will want to add rice, which if washed and steamed white rice, which is basicaly 150 calories per 1/4 cup, you can add rice to fill you.  half to a full cup uncooked will do wonders.  drink lots of water with this meal and you have a low calorie, low fat, low sugar, high fiber, high protein meal that is good and filling.  only bad thing is high salt amounts.  which is great if you are exercising.\n\n\nwhew that was a lot to type.  im so not spell checking.

Why do people have different color eyes?  Is there an evolutionary reason?

I believe evolution is the reason for all the differences in races.  Races which evolved closer to the equator have brown eyes, darker skin and more curly hair--this was natures way of protecting them from the sun.  Races which evolved farther away from the equator have a much wider variety of eye color, hair color and shades of skin.  This is because the sun was not as harsh which allowed nature to take diverse courses in evolution.

Although it requires you to be invited by a participating member, if you can find someone to send an invite it is well worth it.

The base of the features on their maps is about 3000 meters (9842 feet). You can see the maps at:


What is the evolutionary reason for Strawberries to have seeds on the outside of the red fleshy part?

It is a good idea for plants to spread their seeds about (seed dispersal).\n\nSome plants use animals to do this for them. The plants make attractive bits which animals eat. The seeds are eaten too but are undigested and pass out with the animal's droppings.\n\nIt depends which bit of the flower develops to make the attractive bit - sometimes the seeds are inside, sometimes (like strawberries) they are on the outside.

If your only true love passed away and you had a child by him, and after his death you never realy loved again

It sounds like you need grief counseling. You can contact your local mental health facility and they will be able to help you. You obviously aren't ready to be intimate with anybody yet. You can never replace the one you lost but in time, you will be able to move forward and open your heart to someone new. In the meantime, I hope you are using condoms and birth control. Your child has had a significant loss too and needs you healthy.


"the more things change, the more they stay the same"?

Is that a question? Thanx for the two points anyway.


what's google competition (product wise) and whats the competition strategy?

Okay, here I go:\n1) Studies show that the general public cannot discern the quality of the two search engines.  However, Yahoo! is still seen (Ad Age) as offering a wider variety of practical services and this would be the main 'thing' that Yahoo! is doing over Google.  Also, Yahoo! offers a direct link to a human-sorted directory, which many novice web users may find attractive.\n2. Google's mapping technology was for time regarded as superior.  It allowed for multi-point trips (for example, you could get the directions from your house, to the museum, then the symphony hall, then back all at once, not one leg at a time).  It also allowed users to plot things like service stations on a graphically superior topographic or satellite map.  However, Yahoo! Maps Beta now offers many of these features and may have been introduced in sufficient time to win back past users who may have been starting to switch to Google.  MapQuest also offers strong competition because of its percieved easy of use and easily accessible practical features.\n3. Many consumers have yet to discover a need for desktop search clients, as the average harddrive is relatively small (compared to, say for example, the Internet) and most consumers (Ad Age) would agree with the statement that they keep their primary files relatively maintained.  However, I would venture to say that Google Desktop has a slight advantage insofar that it is free and usually comes bundled with antivirus software, mapping programs and other freebies consumers want.  However, Windows Vista has a feature called Virtual Directories which are essentially constantly running searches.  I.E You would setup a Virtual Directory called 'Latin Spice!' and it would automatically display every Latin dance MP3 on your computer in the 'directory', regardless of where the files are actually located.  This may make desktop searching software essentially outdated, but it remains to be seen.\n4. Another issue is Google's notorious secrecy.  Although it was bemussing back when they were a 'garage corporation', now that their 'playing' with billions of investors dollars and not the family toolshed, investors want to know whats going on.  Of course there's going to need to be some secrecy lest they leak out ideas to competitors, but overall Google has been slammed for a lack of a definate business plan, and overall direction for the firm.  Case in point, it was speculated that Google would reveal as Google-PC running Google software at C3 this year.  Such wild speculations and twists leads to investor unease.  Also, they are entering into the video market.  I'm not quite sure what the motivation for this was, as they are (at the moment) clearly no match for iTunes powerful video database.  Also, Google fails to advertise these features to the public relying instead (and I believe too heavily at times) on gossip and internet chatter.  Such channels are insufficient for the casual internet user to take advantage of.  Case in point again, many users would be surprised to find out you can ask Google simple questions even over SMS on your cellphone without an Internet browser.  However, Google's AdSense program, though relatively new, gives Yahoo! Search Marketing (formerly Overture) quite a run for its money.  Yahoo! Search Marketing is seen as less attractive to the 'common man' wanting to go into online advertisement because (although they are optional costs) it makes it appear as though large setup fees and ongoing charges are required.  Google's AdSense seems to almost be tailored to small business and large alike, with only a $5 setup fee, more flexible use of what they call 'campains' and an arguably larger viewer base.  Also, Google makes it easier to exapand the AdSense viewing public by allowing even runners of small or personal sites to display the ads, whereas Yahoo! Search Marketing has a more rigourous site requirement


I agree.. Work is the best way to earn money.. There is no short-cut to success.


God called Himself the "I AM". He dwells in eternity and had no beginning and has no end.


can blocked nose cause headcahe , if yes why ??

Yeah, that definitely sounds like a sinus headache. Nose blockage can definitely cause headaches. I get sinus headaches from time to time, and Tylenol Sinus works everytime. So does using ice against your forehead. A third remedy is to take dry ginger powderand mix it with water and apply on your forehead... works like a charm.\nYou're probably coming down with some sort of ENT infection, since you have a blocked nose and buzzing ears. I'd say go to the doctor before it gets worse! \n\nHope you feel better soon ^_^


Isnt 144,000 a little bit compared to the whole Earth?

Revelation 14 talks about the 144,000 being bought FROM the earth, so yes, that is the number of those being given the gift of heavenly life. What most people fail to realize, and this is because the wrong idea that "if you're good you go to heaven" has been drilled into their heads, is that God created man and had him living ON EARTH. God never purposed for all of mankind that's obedient to him to live in heaven. If Adam and Eve hadn't sinned, we'd all be enjoying perfect health and living in a paradise. THAT is what God's purpose was and that is what will be happening in the future. Revelation talks about the 144,000 and then talks about a "great crowd that no man was able to number" who survived the great tribulation and Armageddon and make up the new earthly society of which the 144,000 and Christ Jesus will be rulers over.
