If you look at the history of life on earth, there are several steps where things seem to be difficult. Life starting at all seems to have been relavtively easy. The earth cooled down enough by 3.8 billion years ago to have liquid water. By 3.5 billion years ago, there was bacterial life. So *at most* 300 million years was needed for this transformation.\n\nThe next bigstep was the transition from bacterial (call procaryotic) to cellular life with nuclei (eucaryotic life). This happened about 2 billion years ago and so took about 1.5 billion years to accomplish. At this time, cells also started producing oxygen, which lead to a massive die-off.\n\nAfter this, multi-cellular life appeared about 570 million years ago, so another 1.5 billion years after eucaryotic life. \n\nGiven the length of time needed for these transitions on earth, it appears that going from bacterial life to multi-cellular life was very difficult. After multi-cellularity was achieved, it only took about 570 million years to produce humans and technological life.\n\nSo my guess is that bacterial life is very common in the universe, but multi-cellular life is probably rather rare. There are other considerations about how long a technological civilization would last, but that is another issue.

how can a mature person, godly, a born agian xtian to discuss my personal issue with?

Buddy, don't listen to what the person before me said.  Typing Xtian doesn't make you lazy, and if he/she is a Christian, they should learn to be more compassionate and non judgemental, which are two major characteristics of Christ.\n  \nIf you have a serious problemm, or even a simple proble, the best thing to do is reference the bible for answers to see if you can understand what it's telling you about your issue, then connect with someone at church whom you trust.  It's important you trust them.  Next, make sure what they're telling you fits with what the bible says, and ask them to explain what the bible says about it so that you can understand fully.  \n\nI hope this helps you, the bible has the answer to all our issues.  IF not, please email me and I'll try my best to help you.   mtanara@hotmail.com\n\nGod Bless!\nT

Where can I live food and rent middle class for $450. a month?

in the country area of Mississippi or one of the southern states. There are cheap places in the northeast area of pa ans also the middle of the state.  The further you go from the cities the cheaper it is to live. The myth of cheap living in Mexico or south America is being exposed and 450 a month is not very much to live anyplace.  Government food stamps and housing support is available for people with that little.


You feel it in your stomach, the minute you see them, you light up. Love gives you comfort, knowing they are there for you.


Do  you feel you have lived before? If so,  what was it like then? Do you feel you have died before?

My mom had an overwhelming feeling she had been shot before, but she had not in this life.  She also felt she had lived in the old west.  It was weird but rather interesting how she would describe smells, sounds, feelings of the time as if it were yesterday.\n\nI have had a hand full of important premonitions over the years.  But nothing I would call significant about past lives other than a general feeling of being comfortable with what life would have been like as a person who had something to do with painting  during the Renaissance.\n\nI think time can wrap around on itself and is not necessarily linear.  Leading to the possibility of premonitions.\n\nI have met many people who believe they have lived before. No one has told me they remembered what it was like to have died although they all had no fear of dying.

Did Pope Pius XII do something about the Cold War?

I don't know but you might try and find the book: The Lonely Cold War of Pope Pius XII: The Roman Catholic Church and the Division of Europe, 1943-1950


Your best bet would be to find a  priest, nun, minister\nsocial worker and see if you can't get help through a Charity Organization where someone will sponsor you-there are several Christian Organizations -The Christian Children's network   etc. The Catholic Church also has Organizations that help children,families and adults with living help-food, clothing medical needs  etc .  If your need is real any Christian organization will help for the reality it if you get the means to better yourself  by getting a good education you'll better your life and someone else's when you're able.  If your need is real hope you fined will pray for you for you are still a child of God even if it turns out to be scam-then maybe God will help you to be honest.  Peace


May be you need a scheduler.\n\nIn version of Windows before XP there was an "at" utility, which you could use for scheduling.\nIn Windows XP just open Control panel->Performance and Maintainance->Sheduled tasks and add tasks you want.

am i alone or does anyone else have a phobia of clowns?

Lots of people are afraid of clowns  the phobia is called Coulrophobia- there are a lot of sites that advertise treatments for this fear so it may be fairly common.\n Some years back there was a convention of clowns  near where I lived and there were 100s of them running around  the local mall shopping during a break in the  convention and even though I'm not afraid of clowns it was pretty freaky.

my i20 says duration of study is 36 months but in practice its 24 months. what do i enter on the form DS 156?

The instructions for the form do allow for some leeway in the "how long do you plan to stay" question.  Still, you should call the office at your school that produced your I-20 form to make sure that they didn't make an error.  As you read, the I-20 specifically asks about the "normal" term of study.  If your school feels that 36 months is normal, put that on your DS 156.  But if you call them and they say that they made an error (which seems unlikely), then you should put whatever they tell you is the correct term of study.

Do you think I am wrong to tell my husband after we separate?

unless you are worried about him stealing the children, i would let him have the kids on weekends.  \n\nyou have to be able to have a life of your own.  you have made a enormous decision to go it alone (i don't know if i could do it even if i was unhappy)and he really needs to offer support not linger hoping that you might change your mind. its pathetic for him and embarrassing to you.\n\nyou have gone as far as saying its over baby.  i think now is the time to put real ground rules in place.  don't let the man bully you anymore.  \n\njust a side note:  i am happy you have decided to wait until school is out but it is my experience that as that day draws closer he will make it very difficult for you to leave.  Godspeed


Not always. Some people ask questions that have facts as the answer. \n\nPeople asking opinion questions may not understand whatever situation they are in and need advice. People's answers help them make sense of the situation and may bring to their attention things they never thought of before. People go through many of the same situations and seeing how other people handle it can help out a lot.


An object approaches the bottom of a ramp, point A. It goes up the ramp and turns around at point B...?

If you mean by 'above' you measure along the ramp, then the vertical drop is 40sin(30) which is 20 meters.\n\nSo, you just need to figure out how fast an object will be traveling after falling 20 meters (I am leaving off friction here).


I cannot tell you "no" or "yes" without really knowing more of the details of the situation.\n\nBut the very act of you asking this question and wondering whether you should or should not probably means, "nope." Wait a while and give him time.\n\nPlus, if he was charming, he would have you GIVING him your number without him even asking. Or have you asking for HIS. Heh, I wouldn't give in so easy to ya! :)\n\nWait a while till you get to know him. He may be a fantastic guy! Or he might be a rotten egg. And, make sure that you two live within an "okay" distance so you two can easily meet if it does come to that. There is really no sense of him calling and chatting and adoring you if you two cannot physically be together.


If you want to build some muscle, slow down on the cardio. When you lift weights and do rigorous cardio at the same time,  you won't benefit yourself either way because your energy systems will be competing. But rather, lift as you usually do, eat well, proteins and etc, but when you do cardio, make sure you do it at a comfortable pace, try to not to get your heart rate up very high at all and you'll be able to build muscle easier.


It is all related to hormones and being tired from caring for the baby.  Don't worry, the sex drive will return.  If you are real concerned about it, talk to your doctor.


The earth's core is molten. Why not generate electicity using its thermal energy?

It's a worthwhile idea, and many scientists are working on it now. One of the technical challenges is that as you get closer to the heat, the earth material becomes more unstable, plus the pressures due to the weight of rock become immense.

hold your breath, stand on you head, suck a lemon (really it works), get someone to scare you (this one works the best in my experience)


First, he needs to see a diabetic specialist or his family doctor. Ask for an AC1 test. What have his sugars been over the past three months? Has he been snacking? As well, 4 small meals isn't really enough. He should be eating 3 well-balanced meals (your local diabetes association or doctor can help you with this and there are places that can offer advice on nutrition for diabetics) with snacks in between. Remember, raw vegetables are better than cooked and be careful with fruits. Fruits contain sugar and not all fruits contain the same amount fructose. Also, read the ingredients on foods you buy. Some foods contain an outragous amount of sugar even though they say "lite" or "fat-free". Also, remember, less fat is better. How much does he weigh? The more he's overweight, the higher his sugars are likely to go. Exercise is also important. Don't worry about joining the local gym, just a walk in the evening or something like that will do. Maybe a swim. It doesn't have to be difficult. Most of all, though, talk to your doctor. Insulin and medication levels may have to be changed or tests may have to be run. Your doctor is an invaluable resource in this matter. No food in the world is going to do what your husband and your doctor can do.


How would you get a friend to forgive you, if they're really mad, and they don't fogive easily?

You can't just make someone forgive another, they have to want to forgive. The friend who wants to be friends should just be nice to the other person. Maybe even surprise them with nice little treats or presents to grab their attention.


I found that having a "big picture" of why I was studying my chosen field helped.  I'm assuming you chose Costume Technology because it somehow connects you with a great interest or passion in your life.  Schedule yourself a good 30-45 minutes and reconnect with that; remind yourself why you decided to get into this in the first place.  Build yourself a big dream about what you're going to do with this degree that will entirely change your life for the better, and then chase it.  \n.... and cut down on the coffee.  It sounds like you're severely sleep-deprived on top of everything else.  Coffee only makes it hard to make good use of what time you have for sleep.  you may have to re-think your schedule a little, but try to get 30 minutes worth of nap every 4-6 hours, plus whatever regular sleeping time you get at night.  When you find yourself nodding off over a project or at the computer, give yourself permission to doze for 5 minutes (set an alarm!!) and you'll be much better able to continue after that.  When you're stressed out, its easy to put off sleep and assume things will just work out somehow, but chances are you'll just get sick. try instead to get small amounts of sleep more frequently and you'll do much better than just forcing yourself to keep on with no sleep.  Trust me, there is room in your schedule for a couple short naps.  If you really have only 5-10 minutes, meditation and relaxation exercises can help rest you.\nSO... to recap:  big dream, more sleep.\nGood luck!


how helium gas is produced from  hydrogen gas?

Commercially, helium isn't made from hydrogen. Helium is found  alonside natural gas in certain natural gas wells. It's actually a fairly limited natural resource.\n\nIt's true that special nuclear reactors can fuse hydrogen nuclei into helium nuclei, and this reaction takes place in the sun as well. However, the amount produced this way on earth is miniscule.

Christian holidays, candy, figures that attract children. What is the connection?

Easter is not a Christian Holiday neither is chocolate candy good for children to eat.Christmas is not a Christian holiday either December 25 is the day Tammuz was born, the son of Nimrod (who I believe to be satan) and Semiramis (the sun god.) Tammuz was killed buy a wildbore or pig. Thats where they get the easter ham. Every first Sunday after the first full moon of spring the sun worshiper would celebrate giving rabbits and eggs as a symbol of Life. Paganism has taken over most christian churches that's why most church worship on Sunday (The Devils Day) Gods Holy day is The Sabbath the 7th day Saturday. This is why The bible warn as against false teachings. Follow Gods commandment out of Love not in the tradition the rest of the so call christians are doing.

OK read carefully. You canno change your yahoo ID but you can get two IDs associated with a single account. If you really do hate your current ID so, you can just never use and use the new one. What that means is: Yahoo recently started allowing a dot in the email address. Since previous users did not have this capability they allowed for additional ids associated to single one. so if you had an email address myaddress@yahoo.com you can get an additional id with a dot in it such as mynew.address@yahoo.com Whenever some one sends you an email on myddress@yahoo.com or at mynew.address@yahoo.com it will go to the same inbox. You can also log into ALL YAHOO services with either myaddress or mynew.adress ID and same password will work with both.\n\nThe only other way is to create new ID and forget about the old one. But I am sure the dot address will solve your problem here is the link where you can request the additional address.

To be a real estate investor, do you have to have a real estate license to do so?

Typically, you do not.  Principals acting for themselves do not need to be licensed.  If you are buying properties for yourself... don't worry.\n\nBut, if you form a syndicate of some sort (pooling money from several investors) there might be some licensing requirements, especially when allocating shares to investors (in the past they used to require a series 7 for this, believe it or not)\n\nTypically, syndicates are your larger purchasing groups on up to REITS.

do you believe women has achieved their equality with men in American society?

Gender Equality is a complex issue. \n\nSocially the pendulum has swung far enough in some areas that men are discriminated against.  Many groups who wish to limit their membership to men-only for whatever reason are torn apart in the media and often penalized by the judicial system while similar groups limiting their membership only to women have nothing to worry about.  Fathers are often discriminated against in custody disputes; they almost always must prove themselves to be outstanding in every way to compete with their spouse.   Women convicted of inappropriate sexual conduct with minors are often given a slap on the wrist whereas men breaking the same law face 15-25 years of hard time.  Women of all ages have an easier time at gaining college grants and loans over males of similar ability and socio-economic background.  The list goes on.\n\nWomen on the other hand still face prejudice in many parts of the workplace.  Often having an especially hard time breaking into management positions and serving as law enforcement officers.  Many companies fail to give women adequate maternity leave causing an increased health risk.\n\nSo do I believe women have achieved equal status with men in American society? Socially and legally I think women now enjoy more rights and opportunities than men receive.  In the workplace and religious institutions (these especially) men still hold a distinct advantage.\n\nWhat bothers me the most are people who don’t recognize the complexity of the issue and simply whine about how unfair it is for women and how relative equality will never happen.  It promotes an oversimplification and encourages people to promote a since of victimization which for some people becomes a self fulfilling prophecy (a self-fulfilling prophecy is a prediction that, in being made, actually causes itself to become true).\n\nBest Regards,\n\nArmus


Please tell me Why - I only called this girl once in my life - then I just ignored her - now she is lying...?

Oh, the games girls play to get a little attention.  She wants you to chase her and fall desperately in love with her.  But she wants to just string you along.  It gives her power in her otherwise powerless life.  Sounds like she's got her own issues to deal with.  Forget the girl and find yourself a stronger, more mature woman.

which country do you think is your countrys greatest allie and friend?

The UK.  Definitely.  They even disagree with us sometimes and that is a true friend.  But, they watch our back and try to support us.  Unless they think we are in the wrong.  I don't know about you, but I want a friend to tell me if they think I am wrong.  \n\nAustralia backs us with blood, sweat, tears too.  But they have just a little too much of a tall poppy complex about us.\n\n\nJapan's friendship is completely fake.  It's something like when the company kissass tells the boss he has a nice tie.  It means nothing.  They would turn on us so quick...\nThey need us and so they appease us but i can tell you I witnessed with my own eyes two Japanese salarymen laughing with delight on Sept 12th 2001, at the replays of the planes crashing into the twin towers.  And after living there for five years, I got an overall idea about them.


Pan-Africanism is a concept coined in the early 1900 in the West Indies promoting "unity of all Black/African descended people worldwide irrespective of ethnicity/culture or nationality"\n\nAfro-Jamaican Marcus Garvey lead the largest Pan-Africanism movement with his organization UNIA-ACL. Originally Started in Jamaica and then moved to Harlem in 1914.\n\nToday the whole concept of Pan Africanism is shattered and segmented, many have opted to represent their own local niche organizations, as it has been heavily criticized that not all members share the same view, and even in a organization that represents a 'minority', the majority overlook the cultural and ethnic differences of the smaller factions.\n\nI have included a wikipedia reference for further reading.\n\nHope this helps.


Where does it end.. What's there after it ends..Does infinity exist..What after the damn infinity..?

Once you leave the Milky Way you are not outside the universe. The Milky Way Galaxy is one of many known galaxies in the universe. There are probably billions we don't know about. "Goodness knows where" is inter-galactic space.\n\nInfinity means "forever". It is not necessarily a measurable distance or time. We're not sure if the whole universe is infinite. We can't even see most of what is out there. The estimated size of the observable universe is 7.4x10^26m (that's really, really, really, really big). Beyond that we're not sure yet.

How can I get a bank loan with bad credit and no co-signer?

you can't get a loan. With little or no credit you'll have to work on your credit first. Working is a way. Don't apply for too many cards, store credit cards, credit cards such as visa.  If your cool with your parents, maybe have them co-sign or have them put you on one of their cards to help with your credit. But it takes up to 2 years to establish good credit. Trust me I know.!! : )

What's your "view" on Meredith Vieira taking Katie Couric's place in September on the NBC Today Show?

I would have liked to have seen it go to Campbell Brown, don't care much for Vieira I thought she was quite often vulgar on the View. I think that they'll have to keep her more in check on Today or they'll be doing a lot of apologizing for her...\n\nI think that they should have taken a chance on Brown like they did with Katie who was completely unknown to the public before she initially replaced Debra Norville. Oh well..

Why do Catholics put such strong emphasis on Mary, almost worshiping?

The whole issue of Mary being "The Mother of God" is ridiculous. Are people suggesting that Christ did not exist before he came to earth?? He always existed (John CH.1 V1-14) There is very Little mentioned in the Bible about Mary and whilst an angle appeared to her before the birth of Christ and told her what would happen in the near future and told her that she was "blessed amongst women" The bible is clear on the issue of there being only one mediator between man and God who is Jesus Christ.Christ said in John Ch.14 V6 "I am the way, the truth and the life; No man cometh to the Father but by me."  \nNo one but Christ himself can make intercession for us. \nPraying to Mary or one of the saints is totally futile as this is against what the Bible teaches. Aside from acknowledging that Mary was "blessed amongst women" the Lord did not place any other special emphasis on her as the entire point of focus is on Christ as he alone can save us and no one else. We believe that Mary had other children after the birth of Christ as he refered to his brothers. Why wouldn't Mary have had other children as she was young and married??\nThere is too much emphasis placed on Mary and Praying the rosary. Jesus was right when he said that people think that God will hear them for their much rambling and babbling but he doesn't. Jesus gave the example of prayer (The Lords Prayer) in that he addressed his prayer directly to God himself "Our Father who art in heaven....." \n\nIt is important to note that Jesus didn't come to establish a religion, he came to establish a RELATIONSHIP between man and god.\nIts little wonder that the Catholics are soo confused as the Catholic Church added 2 books to the King James Bible.\nThe King James has 66 books, the Catholic Bible has 68 books. Doubtlessly they overlooked the fact that there is a dire warding in Revelations being "If anyone shall add to the words of the prophesy of this book, God will add unto them the plagues that are written in this book" One of the plagues is, of course, death.\nHope this helps.


do you think that STONE COLD STEVE AUSTIN should return?


I have a terrible habit of cussing in front of my teenage children whenever I'm angry! Please help!?

Two problems: you get angry, and you cuss.  The solution to the cussing is easy.  Find a new word to replace the swearword.  It is natural to use a curse to belay frustration but you can achieve the same result with another word that is not offensive to your children.  All children frustrate their parents at times, but you could take an approach that will stop the frustrating situations from happening.  Promote a co-operative environment between the siblings by playing games with them.  Try to be present when they are together and be their mediator.  Keep them apart when you don't have the time to mediate.  As for the lying, try to build their trust so that they don't have a reason to lie to you.  Make the truth more rewarding than a lie.  Easy for me to say, but it works most of the time for me.....but not always...kids will be kids


What are my legal rights for not paying HOA fees when property management office isn't doing anything?

Failure of a party to abide by a contract does not generally allow you to not abide by the contract. Instead, you would have to sue the management office to force it to abide by the contract and compensate you for failing to do so up to that point. I would contact a lawyer.

i have this bump around my nose what is it. if it is a keloid how do i get rid of it?

I just went though a new procedure to remove a keloid on my chest (which I had and hated for 7 years).\n\nTHe process is relatively new and has to be done by a plastic surgeon. They remove the keloid sugically. To prevent the high percent chance of it coming back, the put in synthetic skin called "Integra" and then over that do a skin graft (in my case from my leg).\n\nSince the chest is a particularly active area, they will have you wear a medipack(vacum device) for 7-10 days until everything takes.\n\nOverall I'm glad I did it although it wasn't without some real discomfort.\n\nIt will take months before my chest skin graft is faded.\n\nTalk to some plastic surgeons.\n\n(by the way mine was covered by insurance :))

What do you think about 7th graders dissecting frogs?

I think a hands on approach is the best way for most students to understand a concept.  In this case it means dissection.  There are a few students that are so squeamish that they simply can't handle it.  Can they learn the concept? Yes but the technique that is effective for most cannot be applied to them.  I had a student that made every effort to dissect in class but had such a weak stomach that she had to leave the room.  She still learned the material just had to find a different approach.

Why do the illegal immigrants and their supporters think they aren't RACIST themselves?

Heres ALL The RACISM You Want Flower Child\n\nMexican American Legal Defense Fund founder Mario Obledo stated, “California is going to be a Hispanic state. Anyone who doesn't like it should leave. Every constitutional office in California is going to be held by Hispanics in the next 20 years.  People who don't like such demographic changes “should go back to Europe.” (Incidentally,  Senor  Obledo was also the California Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare under Gov. Jerry Brown.) \n\nMario Obledo, California Coalition of Hispanic Organizations and California State Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare under Governor Jerry Brown, also awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Bill Clinton, "California is going to be a Hispanic state.

Señor Villaraigosa said "The only thing illegal is making 11 million illegal aliens felons." Yeah, he Actually said that. People should make no mistake about it: Villaraigosa was "ELECTED" by ILLEGALs VOTING, and HIS Allegiance, along with the rest of these "ELECTED" public officials in California of Mexican ancestry is to Mexico, not California or these United States of America. Villaraigosa has spent a lifetime opposing U.S. immigration laws.\nVillaraigosa is A Member Of  "MEChA"  and  " LA RAZA"\n*********************\nMEChA and the La Raza movement teach that Colorado, California, Arizona, Texas, Utah, New Mexico, Oregon and parts of Washington State make up an area known as "AZTLAN" -- a fictional ancestral homeland of the Aztecs before Europeans arrived in North America. As such, it belongs to the followers of MEChA. These are all areas America should surrender to "La Raza" once enough immigrants, legal or illegal, enter to claim a majority, as in Los Angeles. The current borders of the United States will  be extinguished.\n\nThe Council of La Raza succeeded in having itself added to congressional hearings by Republican House and Senate leaders. And an anonymous senator even gave the Council of La Raza an extra $4 million in earmarked taxpayer money, supposedly for "housing reform," while La Raza continues to lobby the Senate for virtual open borders and amnesty for illegal aliens. \n\nhttp://www.humaneventsonline.com/article.php?id=13863\n\n"We have an aging white America ...

Thus God puts the wrath on those who believe not."\n\nto believe in Islam, you clean your heart with truthful desire to submit yourself toward God with peace. and say those two statements between you and God.\n\n-Ashhado (I witness and believe) Annaho (that) La ilaha illa allah (there is no God but God)\n\n-Ashhado (I witness and believe) Annaho (that) mohammadon rasol allah (Muhammad is the prophet of God).\n\nwatch this documentary on what those who convert to Islam have to say:\n http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-2596931779946562716&q=convert+Islam&pl=true


from 6 cents to $15 - what percentage increase is that?

If there was no increase, then there is a 0% increase. I do not know what motts is trying to say ...\nsince 24,900% times 6 is 1494 and if the additional 6 cents is included, trust me, you are going to pay it...\n\nyour increase went from 6 cents to 1500 cents...not 6 cents to 1494 cents...\n\nNote: 3 cents is 50% of 6 cents and \n      6 cents is 100% of 6 cents and\n      9 cents is 150% of 6 cents and\n      12 cents is 200% of 6 cents and ... So, if there was a 100% increase in your munincipal telephone tax, your charges would have gone to 12 cents per month. \n\nNow,\n\nSince $15 = 1500 cents, your tax was raised from 6 cents per month to 1500 cents per month. The question is :\n\n1500 is what percent of 6...\n\n1500 = x% (6)\n\n1500 = x/100 (6)\n\n1500 = 6 x / 100\n\nso, (cross multiplication) (1500/1) = (6x/100)\n\n6x = 150000\n\nx = 25000. \n\nSo (YES!), \n\nyour munincipal telephone tax was raised 25,000%.\n\nThere should be some kind of law or rule that allows the increase only a certain amount. Nothing close to 25000 percent. If it was raised this much, you have a bunch of crooks working on your local munincipal board, or whatever...\n\nWith this much more money going in, guess where it is going...\n\nI don't need the ten points, but I hope you are complaining to the right authority...this is rediculous...\n\nAlso, although your tax increased 25000%, you had an increase of 250 times what you were paying. In other words, for every dollar you were paying before, you are now paying $250 or for every cent ($.01) you were paying before, you are now paying 250 cents which is also $2.50.\n\nif the increase is 25000% or 24900%, forget about it, both are a huge increases...\n\nWhen was the increase...from 1940 until last month or from last month to this month...

I am somewhat in this same situation.  I was a drinker when I met my bf and he has since asked me to quit (or only drink when he is around).  He knows I tend to be more "open" or social when I'm under the influence of alcohol and that scares him, and he has every reason to be (i am a heavy drinker and have been known to black out).  I guess it depends on how much she is drinking and how often.  Do you see yourself EVER being able to accept it.  I'm sure you have tried talking to her about this already, hence the fighting.  Please, next time, express your fellings calmly, genuinely, and with love.  If she is 100% defending her actions without even so much as considering your feeling on this, it may be a lost cause.  (From experience, the more defensive she is, the more difficult the situation, there may be more to what she is doing).  If she loves you, she will at least consider what you have to say. \n\nAlso, you may want to re-evaluate your marriage.  I'm no counsler, but I've known from my own relationships that sometimes the spark burns out.  She may just be seeking the "new" that she misses from when you 2 met.  Is rediscovering those "new" feelings with her an option?

Is the Tom Cruise/Katie Holmes relationship a sham?

About a year ago Tom realised people didn't like him very much (because of Nicole divorce, slagging off Brooke Shields, his Scientology cr8p) so he interviewed 3 possible future wives. One of them was Katie Holmes who lets face it was never gonna set the big screen on fire! KH then agreed to a $10 million contract that ties her to Tom for 5 years and she also agreed to have babies. Now we all know that these babies are created in a petri dish because Tom is gay. So there you have it, the sham that is TomKat in less than 100 words.


What might have caused my grandfather to cut verses out of his personal Bible?

I'm very sorry about your grandfather's death.  Unless you have some other reason to think so, I wouldn't agonize over whether it's a clue or not.  You may never find a reason.\n\nI've heard of people cutting verses out that they didn't like or didn't understand.  Especially in older generations.  I don't know why your grandfather did.\n\nI can understand you wanting to know answers.  How open is your family to talking about him?  Is there someone who knew him really well that you could ask without fear of hurting them?\n\nIf his death is really recent, you may want to give people some time before bringing them your concerns.\n\nSuicide is usually about feeling hopeless.  It's so sad when people reach that point and don't feel like they can reach out and get help.\n\nPlease don't agonize over this.  Take your grief to God and let Him heal your heart.  He is our hope.  Don't lose sight of Him.\n\nAnd keep your good memories of your grandfather.  His life is more than his final act.

Definitions of Tenement building on the Web:\n\nAn apartment building, block of flats or tenement is a multi-unit dwelling made up of several (generally four or more) apartments (US) or flats (UK). Where the building is a high-rise construction, it is termed a tower block in the UK and elsewhere. The term apartment building is used regardless of height in the US. \nen.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tenement_building

Apart from being "multicultural", what is Australian culture?

I'm Australian born and bred and Spanner needs to live here before he makes such sweeping generalisations. Apart from the "redneck" variety, you won't find that many racists or homophobes. I can't believe he admits to getting his views on our political system from Wikipedia. If that's your source, mate, that explains a lot. Wikipedia is not an authority on anything - it's created by the contributions of anyone who can access it - hardly a reliable source. Anyone can make up anything and put it on there. Sounds to me like he might be a tad racist himself. Oh, and Spanner? "Wog" is also a slang term for "cold" or "flu", e.g. "I've got a nasty wog."\n\nAs for Australia being a land of Aborigines and English criminals, people need to understand just what that means. Believe it or not, the Aborigines are PEOPLE. It surprises me how many people seem to speak of them as though they are totally different. They do have their own culture, but they're not that different from everyone else. The so-called "convicts" that were transported here, were sent here often for nothing more than stealing a loaf of bread to feed their starving children. Most of them hadn't done anything serious, but were trying to survive.\n\nAustralian culture is rather diverse due to the many influences we have here. If you are referring to a Paul Hogan- or Steve Irwin-type of Aussie, then the culture revolves around barbecues, meat pies, beer, and football - and by that, I mean Aussie Rules footy, where men don't wear armour, but tight, tight shorts and they actually *kick* the ball. ;) The Aussie attitude is one of, "Give a poor bastard a go" (and that isn't considered swearing by most). When the faeces hit the fan, you can usually count on the community to band together and lend a hand. Charity organisations here are actually that: unlike in some places, you're not required to convert or be a member of their religion in order to get help. Recently, there was a cyclone up north and the amount of aid sent by fellow Aussies was so phenomenal that they had to ask people to STOP sending things.\n\nI've lost count of the number of times people have asked me if I have a pet kangaroo. I've often answered, "Yes. Her name's Matilda and she stays in the backyard with the dog. When I only need to go down the road to the shops, I hop in her pouch instead of taking the car. Saves on fuel." Believe it or not, more than one person has bought this. While kangaroos don't generally live in suburban areas, in times of drought and the like when food is scarce, they actually DO visit populated areas. When I worked at Police Communications, I received a few calls over the years for kangaroos hopping down the streets of Melbourne. It's rare, but it does happen.\n\nI live in an outer suburb where we have kangaroos nearby, koalas, wombats and kookaburras (a type of kingfisher). We have some of the most beautiful and unusual critters in this country. Do be wary of the platypus, though. They are poisonous. We also have something like nine of the ten most venomous snakes here, and many nasty spiders. The female funnelweb can bite through Blunnies (Blundstone leather boots). As for crocodiles, they don't generally travel the sewers, but people do get attacked by them. This usually happens when they go swimming in strange billabongs (waterholes) - many of which have signage indicating not to swim there. Duh...\n\nOther than that, much of our culture is influenced by the USA. We have much of their music, movies, television shows, and so on. Other influences are from the groups that have joined us since the initial English and Irish settlers, especially Asians, Greeks and Italians. We really are a huge melting pot. :)

This girl i know seems like she is developing anerxia, ive tried to talk to her, what can i do to help her?

Have another serious talk with her saying "Hey I notice you havent been eating much, is everything ok??"  Don't accuse her of neccessarily having anerexia, as that woould put her on the defense...  Now you're coming across as a good concerned friend...  Maybe it has nothing to do with being aneroxic at all, maybe its a sign of depression...  Did she just recently lose someone close to her??  Or maybe a bad breakup??  Or heck maybe she just hasn't been feeling well the last few days...  See what she says...  If it's only been a few days or so since this pattern started and it's pretty sudden, it could be one of the above, just be there for her for the next few days till she slowly gains back her appetite...  IF however this has been an ongoing issue, whether or not she admits it (she'll probably be in denial even with herself) I would then say "well, you might say it's no big deal, but I am truly concerned for you..  I have noticed that all you ate today was a tic-tac and an apple, or whatever, and then tell her this is not healthy...  Mention again what you said about the running and healthy foods, which should be part of any healthy lifestlye, even if your not on a "diet", tell her you want her to help yourelf, but she's gotta do it when she's ready, and in the meanwhile if she ever needs anything to call you day or night to talk (even if it has nothing to do with food, like i said earlier there could be an underlying emotion helping cause this, the best thing you can do is just be there as a friend)...  From there back off for a few days or so, unless you see herself in an immediate life threatning situation, such as she's talking about suicide and stuff...  See if she takes your advice and starts to get help oh her own...  If she doesn't look like she's going to take responsibility for her own actions and seek help on her own, then you might have to...  Maybe go to her again and say "You know I noticed this situation hasn't getting any better (and possibly even worse) You leave me no choice but to go to the authority (whether it be a councelor, school nurse, trusted teacher) myself, that's my duty as a friend...  If you'd like we can go together to talk to them, and I'll be there every step of the way with you, but if you don't come with me, I'm still going to tell them..." She might be mad at you, but in time will thank youo....  Aneroxia is a very seriouos conditioon and needs to be adressed, don't let the possibility of having a friend mad at you, stop you..  I'd rather have a mad friend than no friend, and aneroxia is indeed fatal in the long-term...  Thing is it's one of those slow deaths where your body will just weaken to nothing, but your not going to die from starving yourself one day, many people fast for religious purposes, etc. for a 24-hour period...  Your body has enough fat and nutrients stored that you can survive, but over time, it WILL kill...  PLease talk to her today, don't procastinate...  Good luck to both of you


I'm thinking about having a yard sell this weekend, but I've never had one before and haven't been to many.

Sell whatever you have that you do not use. Clothes,kitchen supplies,books,toys etc.\nHousehold things that people would use or need.\n\nMark them CHEAP...the cheaper the better. I know it sounds crazy but you actually make more money that way

Do you ever say "I love you" to people you really don't love? Why?

No, I think that word it used much too loosely.  Too many people, male and female start spouting that word the minute they are twitterpated!  Personally I feel the same about the word friend.  People use that word for just about anyone they've ever had a casual conversation with.  A friend is someone you know intimately and stand behind through the years.  Sorry, I'm getting on my soap box and it's beyond what you asked.


Why do the bodies of saints do not rot or decay?

Through history, the bodies of a considerable number of deceased Catholic Saints and other blessed persons, have not undergone the normal processes of disintegration. Without any kind mummification or embalming methods, their corpses have thus remained incorrupt, a few even after 1500 years. The accounts of incorruptible bodies are a part of Christian history from the first century right through to the 21st.\n\nMany of those, whose bodies have been found incorrupt, had died either by violence or diseases, conditions which normally would encourage the disintegration processes rather than preserve the bodies. Some had been buried in close proximity to other bodies that decomposed normally. Some had been consigned to the bare earth. Others survived burial in such damp conditions that their clothes rotted off their intact bodies. Some had been lying in lime, water or left in the open. But apparently unaffected by exterior influences, the bodies were found preserved as if they were still alive.\n\nFrom the beginning the phenomenon was seen as tangible proof of the sacredness and purity of a saint. The incorruptible bodies were therefore not buried but placed into sumptuous reliquaries and exposed above or behind the altar for everyone to see. \n\nDuring the Middle Ages, churches that had one of these incorruptible saints became especially popular among pilgrims. It therefore became customary to exhume all candidates for beatification and canonization (the various steps on the way to sainthood). \n\nBecause of the Vatican’s quite strict canonization process, these exhumations have usually been witnessed with oaths and affidavits by ordinary working people as well as respectable doctors and medical specialists. The phenomenon is therefore among the most thoroughly documented of all alleged miracles.\n\nDisregarding the irrational elements and proven frauds, there is enough evidence of remarkable occurrences surrounding the incorruptibles to take the phenomenon seriously. It hasn’t been systematically examined by science and no rational explanations have yet been offered. The devout therefore continue believing that the bodies of these individuals have been miraculously preserved by God because of their sacredness and purity - as a reminder of their wonderful deeds.


STUPID QUESTIONS( why do they all come from the USA)?

we ask stupid questions to see how many stupid people will answer them.....hmmmm


What were the feelings of families during The Cold War. And how were the families effected?

Gosh, this is difficult... I promised myself I'd never get involved in giving homework help (because of the reported abuse of internet 'help' happening here in the UK).\n\nHowever, the Cold War is a part of my personal history and I feel duty bound to pass on my experience to a new generation, so here goes...\n\nThe predominant feeling in my family was of uncertainty and sometimes (mobilisation of Warsaw Pact troops on the German border, incursion of Soviet shipping into our territorial waters, the Cuba Crisis etc) downright fear.\n\nMy Dad joined the Territorial Army (TA)(a bit like the US National Guard I suspect), so he'd be trained to do his bit when the 'coldness' went and we were at war again. With the threat of atom bombs there was a sort of sense that any day could be our last, so there was no real feeling of a certain future to save or plan for. The idea of 'what matters is that we are alive today, so let's make the most of that' - was a pretty widespread feeling.\n\nAt the time of the Cuba Crisis I was still at school and in almost all classes there was a radio turned on. We were given instructions where to go, and what to do in case of nuclear missile attack and shown public information films on Nuclear, Biological and Chemical warfare. Perhaps they thought young lads would be excited by the adventure - I was scared out of my wits and couldn't sleep at night...\n\nI guess we also felt helpless here in England. We are closer to Russia (well within striking distance of even their home-based weaponry) and no longer a major player on the world stage. Our future depended on how the Americans responded and I think that bred a sort of resentment, as well as adding to the insecurity.\n\nHow did it affect us? For me personally it had a similar affect to that on my dad. When I was old enough I joined the TA so I'd be ready when the time came. And even when the Cold War was more 'frozen' and the threat seemed less imminent, I still joined the regular Army. As I have already said we didn't bother with savings, house purchase, even saving plans inthose days... we just lived for today and short term goals became more important than perhaps they should have been. I think we were also less inclined to forgive, and more suspicious of people, which may have contributed (along with the stress) to marriage and relationship breakdowns.\n\nSpending went up, not because wages were much higher, but because we wanted to enjoy life while we had the chance and most people were focussed on the 'here and now' in terms of what they ate, how they dressed and so on.\n\nThis is getting far too long, but I hope I've given you some idea of our feelings and what it was like for an ordinary English family to live through the Cold War...


what happens if i violate probation by not doing public service work?

Wow!  People here sure are judgemental.  I bet that's only the case when it's not them in the hot-seat, though.  Anyways, you'll have to refer to the sentencing guidelines for when you were sentenced.  If you fail to participate in community service, which is a violation of your probation, they can place you in jail, and depending on the nature of your offense, either keep you there until your probation officer sees fit, or they can revoke your probation and re-sentence you which could mean you get to go to prison.  Then you'll have to worry about parole instead of just probation.  Either way, I'd say it's just easier to do the community service - or find someone to sign off on your community service hours to "say" you did it.  =)\n\nGood luck!

Was Alia Izabegovic an Islamic fundamentalist?

President Alija Izetbegovic's Islamic Declaration published in 1970 would tend to point in that direction but the American envoy that brokered the Daytona accord, Richard Holbrooke, described him thus. "He was a devout Muslim, although not the Bosnian ayatollah that his enemies portrayed"


Are there ways to prevent illiteracy? how?

Incentive programs at my kids school always seemed to do the trick. Pizza Hut had a good one with the school and I think that was nationwide. But only so much schools can do. Parents not caring and taking the time to read w/ their children because it's not convenient for them or they just don't care is 99% of the problem. Make it fun. My kids aren't genius readers but they do it and like it at home. Partly because I read alot. Everything a child learns starts at home by the influence of the parent. So it definately wouldn't kill these parents to get caught with a book in their hand for their child's sake versues a tv remote once in awhile. Kids love the closeness. Nothing beats laying in bed with your child taking turns reading. Those are memories they'll treasure and remember forever.


I just turned 30 last month.What is a good diet that will help me lose 25-30lbs?

Start out doing some cardio daily start with 30 minutes, but now that youre 30, you will have to eventually work up to at least 45 minutes to an hour to see results - maybe walking or if you have access to the gym, taking an aerobics class or just using the treadmill or elliptical.\nAlso do some strengthening work too. If you cant go to the gym, pushups, situps/crunches, squats, lunges, leg lifts can help. If you have access to the gym, use the weight machines - start of light- 3 times a week\n\nStart eating healthy foods fruits for breakfast vegetables and a meat for lunch, vegetable and meat for dinner. Drink 64 ounces of water daily, cut out processed foods, soda, alcohol etc, take a vitamin  and get enough sleep each night. \n\nNot only will you lose weight, you will build muscle, releive stress and set a good foundation for the rest of your life. \n\nI'm the same age, and have recently started on this plan myself. If you'd like to discuss it further just email me at nikkis.island@yahoo.com


Where to buy tickets to attend Wimbledon tennis championship?

If you're prepared to get there early in the morning and queue for a few hours, you will get tickets for the outside courts, as those are sold only on the day (as opposed to in advance). Best time to go for those tickets is in the first 4 days when there are still lots of singles matches going on on the outside courts. \nIf you want show court tickets, the organisers hold a limited number that they also sell on the day and you will need to get there minimim 4.00pm the previous day and camp out for the night. \nEither way, queueing is a wonderful experience. You'll get to meet so many people from all walks of life and countries.

I want to find a ranking of community colleges.?

Community colleges do have reputations, but it can be hard to get a clear picture of them.  These colleges are local in nature and so they're not generally covered in ranking surveys.\n\nI did find a top-100 ranking (at the first link below), but it's just in terms of raw number of degrees awarded.  That same site has on its front page (at the second link below), lists of the fastest-growing community colleges.  But, again, this is probably of limited usefulness to your real question.\n\nWhile community colleges don't usually get high-profile general reputations, there are many community colleges which are well-known for particular programs.  For instance, Mt. San Antonio College (third link below) has an aeronautics program which received an award as the "Nation's Best Aviation Program" in 1987 and 2005.  But, unless you're looking for an aviation program, you may never have heard of MtSAC.\n\nIf you're looking for a good community college, think specifically about the area you want to study and then try to get an idea of how good the programs are in that area.  If you're just looking for general information, I'm not sure what else is out there.

Do any Randy Travis fans have the lyrics to 'Through the Fire' ?

Through the Fire\nListed under Randy Travis & Glory Train: Songs of Faith, Worship, and Praise \n\nSo many times I’ve questioned certain circumstances\nOr things I could not understand\nMany times in trials, weakness blurs my vision\nAnd my frustrations get so out of hand\nIt’s then I am reminded I’ve never been forsaken\nI’ve never had to stand the test alone\nAs I look at all the victories, the Spirit rises up in me\nIt’s through the fire my weakness is made strong\n\nAnd He never promised the cross would not get heavy and the hill would not be hard to climb\nHe never offered victory without fighting but He said help would always come in time\nJust remember when you’re standing in the valley of decision and the adversary says give in\nJust hold on, our Lord will show up and He will take you through the fire again\n\nI know within myself that I would surely perish\nBut if I trust the hand of God, He’ll shield the flames again\n\nAnd He never promised the cross would not get heavy and the hill would not be hard to climb\nJust hold on, our Lord will show up and He will take you through the fire again\nJust hold on, our Lord will show up and He will take you through the fire again

what is the statute of limitations on vacating a default judgment?

A lot of it depends on what state you are in.  Once a suit if filed it can stay on you report for over 30 years in some states.  You say that you and the "default" vacated.  What happened after that.  Did you file and answer, have you had a court date assigned to you?\n\nIf the default judgment is vacated then you still have the original suit to worry about.\n\nIf you provide me with additional info I may be able to help you more.\n\nicsowesmemoney@yahoo.com

If my child's fellow PS students are allowed to pray out-loud, shouldn't he be allowed to refute?

Although they have no proof of the existence of God you also have no evidence that he does not exist. So by all means, form a religion based on your own assumptions and tell him to refute all he wants. \n\nKeep in mind however, if I were still in grade school I would severely beat your son on a daily basis if he did that just for pure pleasure not for any religious reasons, so your are putting him at risk here.

Do you think we live in the Matrix or is everything as we see it without any messages?

The movie the matrix is actually very close to what Buddhists believe, in that our surrounds are apparition like and a projections of mind and therefore lack any "real" substance other than what we, through our minds, are able to percieve. So yes we do live in a kind of matrix, but this is only a simple analogy, it depends on your level of readiness to accept and your perspective!\n\nCraig - Naturopath.

How did Switzerland become a neutral country?

They found out the best way to survive as a nation was to isolate themselves from the outside as much as possible, and build up a strong national militia that would hide in the hills until the invaders ran away.  Nazi Germany didn't invade Switzerland because it would have been too costly, and provide too few resources.  They also thought they could attempt to politically coierce them into a union such as like the German-Austrian Anschluss.

just recently the FDA warned 16 manufacturers of weight loss supplements for making exaggerated, unsubstantiated claims about their products. \n\n"These products give unfounded hope to people who are attempting to lose weight. False and misleading claims have significant health consequences to individuals that may be overweight because these products do not produce the desired results..."\n\n\nWhat Are Fat Burners?\n\nFat burners are essentially pills which contain certain herbal ingredients such as Ephedra, HCA, Chitosan and Pyruvate, all of which claim to either increase energy, stimulate your metabolism and/or suppress your appetite. \n\nThe Dirt on Fat Burners \n\nChitosan \n\nWhat it is: A substance derived from the external skeletons of marine animals, such as crabs (ew!) \nWhat it does: Chitosan binds to fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E and K), which prevents the body from absorbing them. \nWhere it lives: Twin Lab's Diet Fuel With Chitosan, Biotech's Fat-B-Gone With Chitosan \nShould you take it? That's up to you. First, there's a concern that Chitosan impairs absorption of carotenoids which the body converts into vitamin A. Second, most experts agree that Chitosan simply doesn't work. A handful of studies suggest that Chitosan might help trim fat, but these studies have not been published in peer-reviewed journals such as JAMA. For more info, see WebMD's take on Chitosan. \nEhpedra \n\nWhat it is: A powerful herb grown in Mongolia and China. Ephedrine (an extract of Ephedra) is an amphetamine-like compound which stimulates the nervous system and heart. \nWhat it does: An effective treatment for asthma, allergies, and sinus problems. Usually marketed for weight loss, performance enhancement, energy, or body building. \nWhere it lives: The Original Formula One, Ripped Fuel, Muscletech's Hydroxycut \nShould you take it? Um, not without some good research. Since 1994 the FDA has received more than 800 reports of adverse effects associated with products containing Ephedra. These include: high blood pressure, irregular heart rate, nervousness, insomnia, headaches, heart attacks, seizures, strokes and death. What's scary is that many of these problems occurred in young/middle aged, healthy adults who used it for weight loss. The problem often stems from mixing ephedrine with caffeine, a big no-no. Check out the Department of Health & Human Services for detailed info on the problems with Ephedra. \nPyruvate\n\nWhat it is: HCRC defines Pyruvate as: "a three-carbon (triose) ketoacid produced in the end stages of glycolysis." Translation: Pyruvate is a product of sugar metabolism. \nWhat it does: Marketers claim it can increase fat and weight loss, reduce cholesterol, and improve endurance. \nWhere it lives: Twin Lab's Pyruvate Fuel, Pinnacle Pyruvate 500 \nShould you take it? William Sukala, an expert trainer at Health Care Reality Checks says: "The minuscule doses available in commercial supplements have not been proven effective in any available research." Basically, the research that has been done doesn't support marketers' claims. It seems safe right now, but, like everything else, needs further study. \nHCA (Hydroxycitrate) \n\nWhat it is:A natural food substance extracted from the fruit of the Garcina cambogia tree grown in southern India. \nWhat it does: HCA supposedly curbs appetite and increases glycogen storage without affecting muscle or energy levels. \nWhere it lives: No-Diet Diet, Bio-Max 3000, MicroSlim, and Body Busters (among others) \nShould you take it? Not unless you enjoy wasting your money. According to a study published in JAMA, HCA is ineffective for weight loss. \nConclusion\nAs you can see, the research on fat burners is sketchy at best. No one can say with any certainty that fat burners work or if they are safe to take over a long period of time. What is a proven method of weight loss is exercise coupled with a healthy, low-calorie


what are the causes & effects of friction on the skin and ways of reducing friction?

Friction causes motion. The greater the coeeficient of friction is, the more force is being applied. With enough friction, you could tear skin, or even your whole arm! you can reduce friction by not puttin anything on it. e.g., shirts, socks, clothing etc..


Do you have any activities to do for a one week presentation on Ancient India?

Yes. Buy milk related products as a visual demonstration of the importance of the cow goddess in Ancient India that was considered the giver of life. Explain why the goods you brought, visually demonstrate the significance of the cow in daily life, and in the Hindu religion. Finally, prepared a few visual effects with a projector, to show the images of the cow goddess as they were commonly drawn in India. You can find some online or in a book about Indian mythology. Accompany the visual images by your explanation of the role religion gave the cow. If you can, touch upon the various names given to the cow, to denote her various aspects. Mention that fact that other cultures, like the Egyptian one, worshiped the cow as well, and show from there the possible cultural exchange between different countries. That's just one idea. Good Luck.

If Jesus really died for our sins, y are we still dying?

These are really good questions.  \n\nJesus did die for our sins, for the sins of those who recieve His death as payment for their sins. (John 1:12) (If you do not believe in Him, than His death does not pay the penalty for your sins and you are responsible for paying it, thus eternity spent in hell)  We still die in our earthly bodies, because this earth is not eternal.  For those who are in Christ, earthly death is merely the end of the temporary and the beginning of eternal life in the presence of God.  1 Corinthians 15:50-57 talks about that.\n\nAdam and Eve did sin.  So has every human after them.  By their sin, Adam and Eve broke the perfect fellowship with God that He had created them to live in with Him.  Once that relationship was broken, as one of the many consequences of it, Adam and Eve's children were born into that broken relationship.  We are not responsible for Adam and Eve's sin, but we do live in the effects of it. (just like if a stranger comes into your house and kills a loved one of yours, your life will be forever changed.  You will now live with the consequences of that person's actions, though you had no personal responsibility for them.)  The sin that we are responsible for is our own.  We were born incapable of not sinning, whether it is sin we are aware of or not.  Romans 3 tells us that absolutely every human on the planet is guilty of sin.  But God, though we broke relationship with Him, sent His perfect Son, Jesus, who knew no sin (2 Corinthians 5:21) to take on the penalty of our sin and pay it for us in His death and resurrection.  Romans 3:23-26, Ephesians 2:8-9\n\nYour last question is a very difficult one, that many people don't agree on, because the Bible is not clear, and it is most likely one of those questions that we'll never figure out and will have to ask God when we get to heaven and will see things from His perspective.  Some people believe that all humans are born in sin and are responsible from birth.  Other people believe in an "age of accountability", basically that there is a certain age, around 2 or 3, when children begin understanding right and wrong, and that's when they are responsible for their sin.  If they die before that age, such as at birth or a miscarriage, God will not condemn them because they were unaware of their sin.  \n\nHope that helps some.  I encourage you to read the book of Romans in the Bible, it gives a whole lot more than I just did, and it shows the amazing gift that God has made possible by sending Jesus.  I pray that the eyes of your heart may be opened so that you will know what is the hope of His calling and the riches of the glory of His inheritance and the greatness of His power toward us who believe.  (Ephesians 1:17-23)

is it posssible to convert invitation or tourist visa into employment visa after having a job in the us.?

B1/B2 (visitor visa) change of status to H1B(employment visa) is possible but beware that you must prove to the USCIS that your original intent when you came to the US was not to change status (i.e. you had legitimate reasons to come to the US as a visitor and didn't come there to look for a job)\n\nIf you are eligible to apply for H1B (must have bachelor degree and work experience), you need an H1B sponsor (employer) to file a Petition for Nonimmigrant Worker (USCIS Form I-129) with required supporting documents like copy of your educational certificates, passport, experience etc. You can start working for your employer ONLY after your H1B approval. If your application is denied, you will receive a letter that will tell you why the application was denied.
