what does the bible say about self-defense?

Well, there's always "turn the other cheek."  I think the concensus of most Christians is that "turn the other cheek" is not binding in all situations.\n\nIf you're talking about self-defense in a military context, the issues are more complex.  In the writings of the early Christians, for the first 300 years, military service was uniformly condemned:\n\n“We who formerly murdered one another now refrain from making war even upon our enemies.”  Justin Martyr\n\n“I decline military command.”  Tatian\n\n“We are not to draw an outline of … a sword or a bow, since we follow peace.”  Clement of Alexandria\n\n“The Christian does no harm even to his enemy.”  Tertullian\n\n“Is it lawful to make an occupation of the sword when the Lord proclaims that he who uses the sword will perish by the sword? Will the son of peace take part in the battle when it does not become him even to sue at law?” Tertullian\n\n“So the more anyone excels in godliness, the more effective the help is that he renders to kings. This is a greater help than what is given by soldiers who go forth to fight and kill as many of the enemy as they can.” Origen\n\n“Our prayers defeat all demons who stir up war. . . Accordingly, in this way, we are much more helpful to the kings than those who go into the field to fight for them.” Origen\n\n“And murder – which is admitted to be a crime in the case of an individual – is called a virtue when it is committed wholesale. Impunity is claimed for the wicked deeds, not because they are guiltless– but because the cruelty is perpetrated on a grand scale!” Cyprian\n\n“Why would [the just man] carry on war and mix himself with the passions of others when his mind is engaged in perpetual peace with men?”  Lactantius\n\n“Is the [military] laurel of triumph made of leaves, or of corpses? Is it adorned with ribbons, or with tombs? Is it wet with ointments, or with the tears of wives and mothers? It may be made of some [dead] Christians too. For Christ is also believed among the barbarians. Tertullian\n\nAfter the time of Constantine the idea of military service becomes more acceptable.  Today, among American evangelicals and fundamentalists, support for war is virtually universal.  In fact, evangelicals support the war in Iraq by a larger percentage than that of the population as a whole.\n\nBut support for war is not universal among Christians.  For example, the web site of the Orthodox Church in America notes that "when violence must be used as a lesser evil to prevent greater evils, it can never be blessed as such, it must always be repented of, and it must never be identified with perfect Christian morality."


how can i get outside iraq but i have no enough money and i'm a doctor ?


The ball would bounce higher if the container kept a vacuum in it the entire time.  The first thing to understand is that there will not be pressure on top of the ball, there will be pretty much equal pressure around the ball from all sides; the air will spread evenly throught the container very rapidly.\n\nThis air will create drag, which will slow the descent of the ball and reduce the kinetic energy and momentum of the ball.  Drag and friction are called non-conservative forces, because when kinteic energy is lost to them, it is not transferred to another object, rather it is gone and not retrievable.  (It actually does get transferred, because no energy can truly be destroyed, but it is not retrieable.)\n\nSo what we have so far is a ball that is falling through dense air (greater pressure of a gas means a greater density of the gas), which is putting drag on the ball.  This means the ball does not fall as fast as it would in a vacuum, and the faster a rubber ball falls.  We then suck all the air out instantly, and the ball will bounce back up unrestricted by drag on its way up, but it would have bounced higher if it was not slwoed down by air during its fall and had a higher impact speed.

is this generation struggling with more stressors than previous generations?

I think so.  I think most of modern technology brings stress along with its benefits.  After all, it used to be you could get away from the telephone, the television, and the stereo: now you carry them with you.  I check my email several times a day; if it was only snail mail, once a day would be enough.  Things change faster, and even the rate of change is accelerating.  Remember Alvin Toffler's "Future Shock" book?  I'd like to get a copy of that now, to see how accurate his predictions were.  It is my impression that the reality is even scarier than the predictions that scared me so bad when I was in college!

how can i stop my feet from hurting while i play hockey?

There are several techiques to break in a pair of skates. You can try soaking them in water then wearing them around the house for a few hours before wearing them at the rink.  Also what you wear under them can help with the comfort level. Some players feel that a lighter weight sock(such as nylon) or even no sock at all is best.  I find the heavier sock no only is uncomfortalbe but also keeps in sweat and the foot actually gets colder. Also the skate should be sized by a good pro shop for best fit.

why are there so many bots in some rooms?

bots lurk in chat rooms because the people who run that bot sent it there to try and make them money by tricking people to visit a website and sign up for crap.\n\nBecause some people are stupid and actually go to the website, the bots keep coming. (also because Yahoo is bad at blocking them too.)\n\nIt's up to the person that set up and is running the bot as to which rooms it goes to.

Will another hurricane category be added?

I think this is the subject of a lively debate, but nothing has been determined, one way or the other.\n\nHere are some thoughts extracted from an article on the topic:\n\nThe history of the scale\n\nIn 1967, the United Nations commissioned Saffir, a Florida consultant engineer, to study low-cost housing in regions of the world that were prone to tropical cyclones and hurricanes.\n\nSaffir realized there was no way to describe the effects of a hurricane, so he developed his own five-category scale. Later, Robert Simpson, then director of the National Hurricane Center, modified Saffir's work, adding measurements for flooding and storm surge.\n\nThe result was the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Rating scale.\n\nA Category 1 storm begins at 74 mph and a Category 5 at 156 mph. On average, there is about a 20 mph increment in wind speed between the categories.\n\nAn extrapolation suggests that if a Category 6 were there, it would be in the range of 176-196 mph. Hurricane Wilma, which had maximum recorded wind speeds of 175 mph, would have been on the verge of breaking into this hypothetical new category.\n\nThe scale didn't include a Category 6 for two reasons.\n\nFirst, it was designed to measure the amount of damage inflicted by a hurricane's winds, and beyond 156 mph, the damage begins to look about the same, according to Simpson.\n\n"When you get up into winds in excess of 155 mph you have enough damage," Simpson said in a 1999 interview with the National Weather Log, a publication of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.\n\n"If that extreme wind sustains itself for as much as six seconds on a building it's going to cause rupturing damages that are serious no matter how well it's engineered. So I think that it's immaterial what will happen with winds stronger than 156 miles per hour. That's the reason why we didn't try to go any higher than that," Simpson said.\n\nAnother reason is that Category 5 hurricanes are relatively rare, or at least they used to be.\n\n"In general, I didn't expect that there would be too many hurricanes that went [above] 155 miles per hour for sustained winds," Saffir said. "The limit seems to be about 175 miles per hour and I don't know of anything that goes much over that."\n\nSome scientists predict, however, that the intensity of hurricanes and their maximum wind speeds may be increasing and that Category 4 and 5 storms will become more common in the years to come.\n\nBehind the beast\n\nOcean and atmospheric temperatures work together to determine the maximum wind speed attainable. This value is known as the "maximum potential hurricane intensity" and is calculated using a formula developed in 1998 by Emanuel, the MIT climatologist.\n\nBased on ocean and atmospheric conditions on Earth nowadays, the estimated maximum potential for hurricanes is about 190 mph.\n\nThis upper limit is not absolute, however. It can change as a result of changes in climate. Scientists predict that as global warming continues, the maximum potential hurricane intensity will go up. They disagree, however, on what the increase will be.\n\nEmanuel and other scientists have predicted that wind speeds—including maximum wind speeds—should increase about 5 percent for every 1 degree Celsius increase in tropical ocean temperatures.\n\nChris Landsea, a meteorologist at the National Hurricane Center, disagrees.\n\nLandsea believes that even in the worst-case global warming scenarios, where global temperatures ratchet up by an additional 1-6 degrees Celsius, there would be about a 5 percent change, total, by the end of the 21st Century. That means that hurricane-force winds are unlikely to exceed 200 mph, Landsea said.\n\nThe fastest "regular" wind that's widely agreed upon was 231 mph, recorded at Mount Washington, New Hampshire, on April 12, 1934. During a May 1999 tornado in Oklahoma, researchers clocked the wind a

Yes, it is possible. I'll give an example using the game of life.\n\nA glider can represent a pulse, and a glider gun can generate unlimited amount of pulses.

Do you think there should be a more strict federal gun control law?

Recently, the National Academy of Science and Department of Justice reviewed more than forty years of research on gun control.  Their conclusions can be read one of two ways:\n\n1) The entire body of prior research is so thoroughly horribly flawed that it is useless.  This is a statement that there are so few quality research papers that no conclusions can be drawn.  There have certainly been many studies performed, though their results do differ from study to study.  Whether they differ because of methodology, sample, or design is something researchers should be able to sort out as long as some research is of high quality.  The panel does not mention any particular criteria or studies as being better.\n\n2) There is neither consistent nor convincing credible evidence that gun control laws reduce crime rates.\n\nIt is possibly of interest that all but one of the members of the panel is known to favor additional restrictions on possession and ownership of firearms.\n\nGiven the panels composition, and that it excluded the foremost researcher on this issue, (Dr. Gary Kleck, whose books should be available in your local library), I am inclined to believe the latter (particularly after having read several of his books).\n\n"...Consequently, when medical journal authors report that there is little evidence on a given topic, it may often really mean only that they made no serious effort to find any or chose not to report what they found.  For example, in an article published in 1996 in the Journal of the American Medical Association, Douglas Weil (research director of the Center to Prevent Handgun Violence, affiliated with Handgun Control) and a colleague claimed that "there is little published research on the effectiveness of gun laws" (Weil and Knox 1996:60).  In fact, there were, at the time this article was published, at least forty-five empirical studies of the impact of gun laws on violent crime, suicide, and gun accidents (Tables 8.4 and 11.1).  Weil then proceeded to inaccurately claim that "with little dissent, these studies are generally supportive of the thesis that well-tailored gun laws can have a beneficial impact" (ibid.:60), when in fact the studies have generally indicated that gun laws, whether "well-tailored" or not, have no measurable impact on violence rates (Chapter 11; Point Blank;Chapter 10)...." Page 42, Gary Kleck, Targeting Guns, (Aldine de Gruyter, NY, 1997)\n\nI think the strictest possible Federal gun control is already on the books.  But that law remains unenforced.  That law is the Second Amendment.  The Federal and State governments have studiously ignored it and the courts have been derelict in resolving the issue.


For those of you in less than sunny weather, how do you beat the winter blues?

Have a Winter Sport.  Build a snowman, throw a snowball, go sledding, go to the movies, rent a movie.  Because when the weather is nice, we don't waste a minute of it in front of the TV or at the movies.  We are boating, fishing, camping, watersking, wakeboarding, just floating in a tube soaking up the sunshine storing it up for a rainy day.  I'm from Sunny San Diego, but moved to beautiful northern Idaho and wouldn't go back for anything.  Not even for constant sunshine.


Why is the color of the sky blue? Is it the reflection of the world's oceans ?

First of all, we need to remember that sunlight contains all the colors of the rainbow (after all, sunlight can be used to make rainbows!) Now, as sunlight travels through the atmosphere, it bumps into things. If it bumps into something big (like a bird, a plane, or Superman), it stops creating a shadow on the other side of the object. But if it bumps into something small, like water vapor or other molecules of gas, it gets sent into a slightly different direction than before (physicists would say that it "scattered") This scattering, however, is not the same for all colors; light at the blueish end gets scattered more than light at the redish end. So imagine a ray of light hitting the atmosphere at an angle. As it passes through, the various gases make the blue light spread out (some of it toward the earth and folks watching the sky) while the red light hardly gets scattered at all and zips by the planet. That's also why the sky on the moon is black even during the daytime. The moon has no atmosphere so nothing can bend some of the light (of any color) back to the surface.

You need to stretch every day for about three months. Sit down with your legs apart, put your head towards each knee until it hurts, and hold it for a 30 second count, and then lean forward as long as you can for a 30 second count. Then get up and move around a bit, and do it about 2 more times. If you can do that every single day for about three months, you should see a huge improvement. Within 5 or 6 months you should be able to do full splits. Try to warm up first, but that isn't completely necessary if you do it every day, maybe after you wake up and before you got to sleep.

William Cuthbert Faulkner (September 25, 1897 – July 6, 1962) was a Nobel Prize-winning novelist from Mississippi. Though his works are sometimes considered challenging or even opaque, he is regarded as one of America's most influential fiction writers.\n\nFaulkner was known for using long, serpentine sentences and meticulously chosen diction, in stark contrast to the minimalist style of his longtime rival, Ernest Hemingway. Some consider Faulkner to be the only true American Modernist prose fiction writer of the 1930s, following in the experimental tradition of European writers such as James Joyce, Virginia Woolf, and Marcel Proust. His work is known for literary devices like stream of consciousness, multiple narrations or points of view, and narrative time shifts.\n\nLife\nFaulkner was born William Falkner (without "u") in New Albany, Mississippi, and raised in and heavily influenced by that state, as well as by the ambience of the South. His great-grandfather, William Clark Falkner, was an important figure in the history of northern Mississippi who served as a colonel in the Confederate Army, founded a railroad, and gave his name to the town of Falkner in nearby Tippah County. Perhaps most importantly, he wrote several novels and other works, establishing a literary tradition in the family. Eventually, Colonel Falkner became the model for Colonel John Sartoris in his great-grandson's writing.\n\nIt is understandable that the younger Falkner was influenced by, and drew on, the history of his family and the region in which they lived. Mississippi marked his sense of humor, his sense of the tragic position of blacks and whites, his keen characterization of usual Southern characters and his timeless themes, one of them being that fiercely intelligent people dwelled behind the façades of good old boys and simpletons. The definite reason for Faulkner's change in the spelling of his last name is still unknown, but possibilities include adding it 1) to appear more British when entering the Royal Air Force, 2) so his name would come across as more aristocratic, or 3) keeping a misspelling an early editor had made.\n\nAlthough Faulkner is heavily identified with Mississippi, he was living in New Orleans in 1925 when he wrote his first novel, Soldiers' Pay. The small house at 624 Pirate's Alley, just around the corner from St. Louis Cathedral, is now the premises of Faulkner House Books, and also serves as the headquarters of the Pirate's Alley Faulkner Society.\n\nFaulkner's most celebrated novels include The Sound and the Fury (1929), As I Lay Dying (1930), Light in August (1932), The Unvanquished (1938), and Absalom, Absalom! (1936). Faulkner was a prolific writer of short stories: his first short story collection, These 13 (1932), includes many of his most acclaimed (and most frequently anthologized) stories, including "A Rose for Emily," "Barn Burning," "Red Leaves," "That Evening Sun," and "Dry September." In 1931 in an effort to make money, Faulkner crafted Sanctuary, a sensationalist "pulp fiction"-styled novel. Its themes of evil and corruption (bearing Southern Gothic tones) resonate to this day. A sequel to the book, Requiem for a Nun, is the only play that he published. It includes an introduction that is actually one sentence spanning more than a page. He received a Pulitzer Prize for A Fable, and won National Book Awards for his Collected Stories (1951) and A Fable (1955).\n\nFaulkner was also an acclaimed writer of mysteries, publishing a collection of crime fiction, Knight's Gambit, that featured Gavin Stevens (who also appeared in Light in August, Go Down, Moses, The Town, Intruder in the Dust, and the short story Hog Pawn), an attorney, wise to the ways of folk living in Yoknapatawpha County. He set many of his short stories and novels in his fictional Yoknapatawpha County, based on—and nearly identical to in te

Running WindowsXP. Reinstalled WXP. Computer running very slow. No viruses, no adware, no nothing. Why?

you are probably running out of memory.  windows xp is a huge memory hog.  when a computer runs out of RAM it starts storing information on the hard drive in what's called virtual memory.  the hard drive is several orders of magnitude slower than regular RAM and it brings your computer to a grinding halt.  if you were running xp before without any problems, and after reinstall this is going on, you probably have some features turned on by default that were off before.  go through your system control panel and turn off all the whiz-bang graphical doodads and junk like that you don't need.


The weather just said we will have snow showers, but the current temp is 36.  Can snow form above freezing?

Your temprature of 36 degrees is simply a ground level temprature.  It is not the air temprature of the weather system that you are currently within.  Because of that, the air temprature above you, where the snoe will form is quite a bit colder.  Once snow starts to form within the weather system, the ground temprature will begin to drop from 36 Degrees to around 30-28 degrees for a short period of time.  From 22-28 degrees snow falls best.  THe sudden drop in temprature isn't that hard to predict, so chances are your weather station was indeed correct.


i am very insomnia prone. a few years ago during a very stressful time in my life, i stopped sleeping for a week at a time. it never happened before but it wouldn't stop. prescription medicine works but after a week's use, i couldn't go to sleep without it. SO DON'T TAKE IT UNLESS YOU ARE REALLY A INSOMNIAC! but i noticed that once my life got better and less stressed, i started on a normal sleep schedule. now 5 years later, i still have a hard time going to sleep but once i am asleep 12 hours is not enough! i find the best way to promote a healthy sleep schedule is to get enough to eat (eat healthy) don't drink or eat 2 hours before bed so you don't have your bladder telling you to go to the bathroom!, and this sounds silly but i find that crocheting which i learned from my mother-in-law recently puts me to sleep. i crochet and i guess i am bored and next things i know i feel sleepy. i guess you have to learn a good sleep routine and maybe find a relaxing activity that makes you want to sleep rather than do it.

if u were being held hostage by terorist's wld u want ur country to negotiate on ur b1/2 or wld u b wiln 2 die

No one wishes to die as a hostage at the hands of terrorists.  For that reason countries often attempt to rescue victims or negotiate with parties that may have influence with the criminals.  However, giving into demands would validate the effectiveness of taking hostages resulting in far more victims and deaths.  Even paying ransom would provide terrorists with cash that they would use to harm more people.  The best solution is to be sure that any hostage deaths result in strong negative feedback against the terrorists, especially among populations that nominally support their activities.  Killing innocent people is taking away a gift of God and will be punished in eternity if not on Earth.


Something about lack of a feudal tradition in the United States?

In short, feudalism has sovereignty based in a single individual, such as a king.  There is levels of society below that individual with each having responsibility ultimately to the king.  In such a system, individual freedoms don’t exist as we understand them today.  Our system is founded on the concept that sovereignty is based on the individual, and as such governmental entities receive their ratification from those individuals.  In this you might read Hobbs (as representing the single sovereign, and Locke representing individual sovereignty. \n\nI believe that it would help to understand what feudalism is before your question has relevance.  \n\n1.A political and economic system of Europe from the 9th to about the 15th century, based on the holding of all land in fief or fee and the resulting relation of lord to vassal and characterized by homage, legal and military service of tenants, and forfeiture. \n2.A political, economic, or social order resembling this medieval system. \nfeudalism (fyoo͞′ dəlĭzəm), form of political and social organization typical of Western Europe from the dissolution of Charlemagne's empire to the rise of the absolute monarchies. The term feudalism is derived from the Latin feodum, for fief, and ultimately from a Germanic word meaning cow, generalized to denote valuable movable property. Although analogous social systems have appeared in other civilizations, the feudalism of Europe in the Middle Ages remains the common model of feudal society.Characteristics of European Feudalism \nThe evolution of highly diverse forms, customs, and institutions makes it almost impossible to accurately depict feudalism as a whole, but certain components of the system may be regarded as characteristic: strict division into social classes, i.e., nobility, clergy, peasantry, and, in the later Middle Ages, burgesses; private jurisdiction based on local custom; and the landholding system dependent upon the fief or fee. Feudalism was based on contracts made among nobles, and although it was intricately connected with the manorial system, it must be considered as distinct from it. Although some men held their land in alod, without obligation to any person, they were exceptions to the rule in the Middle Ages.\nIn an ideal feudal society (a legal fiction, most nearly realized in the Crusaders' Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem), the ownership of all land was vested in the king. Beneath him was a hierarchy of nobles, the most important nobles holding land directly from the king, and the lesser from them, down to the seigneur who held a single manor. The political economy of the system was local and agricultural, and at its base was the manorial system. Under the manorial system the peasants, laborers, or serfs, held the land they worked from the seigneur, who granted them use of the land and his protection in return for personal services (especially on the demesne, the land he retained for his own use) and for dues (especially payment in kind).\nThe Fief \nThe feudal method of holding land was by fief; the grantor of the fief was the suzerain, or overlord, and the recipient was the vassal. The fief was formally acquired following the ceremony of homage, in which the vassal, kneeling before the overlord, put his hands in those of the lord and declared himself his man, and the overlord bound himself by kissing the vassal and raising him to his feet. The vassal then swore an oath of fealty, vowing to be faithful to the overlord and to perform the acts and services due him. This formal procedure served to cement the personal relationship between lord and vassal; after the ceremony the lord invested the vassal with the fief, usually by giving him some symbol of the transferred land. Honors or rights, as well as land, could be granted as fiefs. Gradually the system of subinfeudation evolved, by which the vassal might in his turn become an overlord, granting part of his fief to one who then became vassal to him. Thus very

Why do democrats approve of more taxation?Don't they enjoy the money they earn?

I came from a Democratic family that believed in low taxes and making money and who did not believe in entitlements. As a result I continue this tradition by registering independent. My mother was an immigrant who learned English, skipped a grade in her new country and worked in a factory to help out. She would be embarrassed to go on welfare or seek other entitlements but then I wore patches on my school clothes and most of us didn't care because tv didn't require us to be so beautiful at the time.\nIt is really pollyanna to believe that there will be equal incomes ever - even Communism forced down the throats of my Polish parents and grandparents proved that people will never let that happen. The big guys running things stole from the poor there too and they claimed they wanted equal pay for everyone. On top of that, you could not practice your religion - instead the state religion was created - a garbage version of utopia - a joke, a true moronic joke...\nWe proved that these ideas are disjointed here in the US when we gave healthcare to the HMOS. That happened when everyone believed the big bad doctor's were stealing money. So to EQUALIZE, we opted for HMO's. Now, the CEO's of the HMO's are raking it in, healthcare costs have skyrocketed instead of going down as promised,  while the docs are still paying through the nose for their non-free, extremely expensive education and their exorbitant malpractice fees (which the CEO's don't have to pay because they are not allowed to be sued)...


In Greece what is also celebrated on New Year's Day ?

Is being trained to do a job by a perfectionest and being belittled for not being perfect a hostile work place

Actually a "hostile environment" is better defined as the following:\n\n"Hostile Work Environment refers to harassment by supervisors, managers, coworkers, agents of the company/organization and outside vendors. Hostile Work Environment consists of a condition where employee cannot do their job without feeling harassed or threatened. (1) \n\nAccording to most legal definitions, Hostile Work Environment refers to harassment or discrimination that is a violation of a person's civil rights - based on gender, sexual orientation, race, color, nationality, ancestry, ethnic origin, religion, physical handicap/disability, medical condition, physical appearance, marital status, veteran status, education."\n\nHOWEVER, there are certain expectations of all occupations and you must be able to meet those expectations. As long as there is no harassment or discrimination based on some bias, it cannot be considered a hostile work environment. This is not in referance ONLY to personal harassement or discrimination, but that of co-workers if it offends you. Long story short, in your case, it is absolutely NOT a hostile work environment. \n\nWhat you are experiencing is anxiety and stress due to your inability to perform as required by the position you maintain, at worst you are being harassed or humiliated, which may have some grounds, but that depends on what is said and done by your trainer. Consider a new occupation that better suits you.

What would be some logical wise next steps in recovering from a huge career/life mistake?

It's not too late to get out of a field that you don't like and get into one you do like!  Your grant seems like a great way to get back into school and find something that you'd like to do.  Try meeting with an advisor at the school(s) you'd like to go to and discussing with that person how much would be involved in studying for different degrees -- you might find that you can transfer some of your previous work.  Also, don't worry about being too old or whatever; lots of people do this all the time.  Your life experience and maturity will help you to be more diligent and give you a good perspective on your studies.\n\nI hope you find something you really enjoy!

It comes with the original wiring of the nervous system set in action at puberty, which is a good thing.

Which Discount Broker is the best?  Customer Satisfaction, Ease of use etc...?

I like eTrade for their web site design. It's easy to navigate and see your account info in real-time. If you trade enough, trades are as low as $9.99. It's also nice to have it integraded with eTrade Bank. If I ever need to withdraw money from my brokerage, I just transfer it to my eTrade checking and write myself a check. (or pay $25 for a wire or $5 to have a check mailed). I have had no problems getting through to a live person and the support seems pretty good. They are a lot more friendly than Waterhouse's.\n\nI like Scottrade for their $7 trades\n\nWaterhouse is OK. I never liked their web design and not being able to see my account in real-time.

had anybody cheated on his partner before ? and why you did that ?

Never cheated, but been cheated on several times. *shrugs*  Personally, I put the hurt beside it self and focus on one thing.  There are plenty of fish out in the sea and I'm not going to waste time on someone who doesn't want me there.  Besides, I'm perfectly sure that there is someone who will like a faithful partner instead of the usual run of the mill.\nTo put it simply, don't cheat, it only ends to heartache and there is nothing that can justify it.  If your having problems with your partner, either work them out or close up shop.  Then you can move on to another partner, because if you cheat and take on another partner they might leave you because you lied to them.  Its a vicious cycle of hurt, end it, just because you hurt doesn't mean you've got to hurt everyone around you.

What is the significance of the poem, Children Learn What they Live?

If you have this poem in front of you, then it's self-explanitory. When children see people hit each other, they learn that that's the way you handle your emotions and get your way. Children watch us very carefully and mimic us in every way, unfortunately not all good. We scold our children when they call their friends a bad name. But we'll cuss and blow a fuse when someone cuts us off on the freeway, with our children in the back seat, watching and hearing...learning how to deal. But, if someone comes up to you and asks your forgiveness for doing something to you and you forgive them, your child will learn that this is acceptable behavior and understand that both people win when there's forgiveness extended. When you yell at your kid and call him a dummy, he learns to see himself as someone less than acceptable and believes that he's not smart enough to even try. The poem goes on to list the good and the bad about how children learn from those who are around them. And it's not always the parents that they're learning from. But, the parents ARE the main influence in a childs' life and have a huge impact on how they see themselves and the world around them. Never, never teach them words that you wouldn't like someone else to call you. If everyone could teach all the positives of this poem to each child, do you know what we'd have? Peace. <*)))><

does putting a minor on a credit account as an authorized user help them establish credit?

Yes it does! Its a great way to help young people establish credit. My parents did it for me, and my 3 yr old already has a platinum.  This is also a good way to help people with not so good credit to make it better. Still probably a good idea to be the one who physically has the credit card, until the minor is mature and responsible enough.\nKeep in mind that its a double edged sword, the authorized user of the account can also harm anyone whos on the account, such as if they have poor late payments or declare bankruptcy that can affect the minor with bad credit as well.

what is a good diet to follow for losing weight?

Do not skip meals. Have a fat-free diet with lots of fibre in it.Avoid fried and oily stuff, red meat, eggs, sugar, alcohol,coke, milk, butter etc. Walk at a brisk pace for minimum 45 minutes daily. Salads, soups,fruits low in sweetness are good. Have brown bread, skimmed milk. Lots of water and liquid diet also help. Keep a record of what you eat, how long you walk or excercise, and your weight on a daily basis.\n\nCabbage soup is supposed to be a good fat burner. This alongwith veg salads and fruits for one week with walking daily twice for 30 minutes can bring down weight by 3 pounds. Do not do this continuously beyond  a week at a time. You can do so every alternate week. Have a b-complex tablet every alternate day.\n\nIf you have any side effects, see  a doctor.\n\nWish you all the very best.


It's incredibly easy to reverse engineer AJAX. Why do companies take on such great risk by using only AJAX?

So, compared to regular HTML forms applications, they can write much more robust client applications.  They can also save bandwidth since content delivery is limited to the few changes a client requests, instead of entire pages.  The principles of AJAX lend themselves well to segmenting applications, potentially reducing server demand, and improving performance.\n\nSince most of the business rules are executed on the server anyway there's not a whole ton of "risk" - their "core" code is protected on the server.  If done right, the client-side code simply deals with delivering/presenting client content.\n\nThe tradeoffs are well worth the perceived "risks" in areas like content management, release coordination, availablility, scalability, etc., since they gain the advantage of a well-performing web-based client with a service-oriented back-end.


I have never heard of taking 10 days off before a race. You would not maintain a high fitness level and are risking injury. You would go into a short race stiff and not be able to handle the speed. Even marathon runners don't completely take off a week before. They taper down to a few easy jogs. \nIf you are wanting to run an 8k in 28 minutes, you are a very good runner. That is a 5:38 mile average. Let's assume you run 20-30 miles a week, streatch well, and already do speed work. You should do track work outs twice a week. Vary your work outs but keep in mind your race pace. For example: run 25 400's at a 1:20-1:25 pace. Another work out could be 13 800's at a 2:45-2:50 pace. Keep it varied. Two weeks before the race do a ladder with your longest a 5k in 17:30. \nTake the day after the race off as a rest day. The next day jog but don't go over 10k. Then you can be back to your normal training.


Should I make a website for an art gallery accessible to a blind user, and if so, why?

Russ: Accessible markup benefits a wide range of users, including blind users. However, if you build accessible sites as part of your normal practice, this question is almost irrelevant. You shouldn't have to devote large amounts of time to deal specifically with blind users. \n\nI have a problem with this question for a number of reasons. \n\n1. The question assumes a simplistic view of blindness - if blind people cannot see paintings, photos or sculptures, they will not need to come to the website. \n\nWhat about a blind user who wants to find out some information on a local artist, and goes to the local art gallery website to read the artist biography? \n\nMany art galleries are also used for parties and functions. What if a blind user wants to look up an art gallery website to find opening times, location and function details? \n\nIn both cases, an inaccessible site will lead to a frustrating experience. \n\n2. The question takes a very narrow view of art - that it is purely visual - which is not the case. Art galleries could host experimental sound exhibitions, tactile experiences or sculptures exhibits that are deliberately designed to be explored through other senses. \n\nFor example the Royal Blind Society runs an annual art exhibition titled 'Tactile Art' with the Object Gallery that encourages visitors to get 'hands on' and experience contemporary works of art through their sense of touch. \n\n\n2004 Tactile Art winner Simon Lloyd, with his suspended artwork 'Fabricating the Mundane' and the judges Adam Spencer (Comedian and Broadcaster, Triple J), James Pittar (former Tactile Art judge and marathon swimmer who is blind), Belinda Thorley (pottery and ceramic artist who is blind), Claire Armstrong (Editor, Art and Australia) and Brian Parkes (Associate Director of Object Galleries). \n\n3. Making sites accessible can often benefit a wide range of users. \n\nIf an art gallery site has artworks that are labelled with clear, informative descriptions, then many users could benefit. If nothing else, these descriptions could be indexed by Google, and could help other people who are searching for artworks online. \n\nIf longdesc (or more widely supported equivalents) were used, artworks could be enriched with detailed descriptions of the artworks as well as history of the artworks, the techniques used, the artists frame of mind at the time of production etc. Again, this could be beneficial to a wide range of users. \n\nIf artworks had clear descriptions, another group of users who would benefit are those on slow connections who browse with turn off images. Clear descriptions would allow them to travel quickly through the site until they came to the artworks they wanted to view. \n\nSo, to answer your question: yes, I believe you should make an art gallery website accessible to blind users. Why? Because blind users may want to visit the site, and even if they don't, the accessibility features may aid other users.

You should not do it until you really feel you are ready and responsible to handle the consequences.  Having sex too young can be very confusing for a girl.

And I'll tell you one thing.  It is SO much more enjoyable when you wait to do it with someone you really care about and who cares about you.  Oh, and use protection!!!

Half of your DNA, which is the blueprint for you body, comes from your mother and half from your father, so your cells are never exactly like your mother's. \n\nWhen you are born, you are made up completely of your own cells. But, you are really made of of all the atoms and nutrients that came from your mother's body. When she says you are her flesh and blood, it definitely means that you are connected, and she did give you half of your DNA, but your cells (and the rest of you) are put together in a way that is all your own.\n\nYou were once all of your mother's atoms, and your body is constantly renewing itself with new molecules. I don't know how long it would take for a complete exchange though. Some things could last a really long time.\n\nNonethless...it's good to be nice to your mom ;)


can Schizophrenia lead to that person murdering you?

Schizophrenia can lead to a lot of things if not medicated...I would worry more if someone was smoking crack than if someone was diagnosed Schizo.  Schizophrenia is a very complex disease and is easily misdiagnosed.  There are lots of great medications that help with some schizoid symptoms.  I don't think murder is high on the list for those suffering from schizophrenia.

need to know if ibuprofen tabs/400MG. will cause eye presure?

The answer to this is that yes it can probably happen.  You should probably stop reading right here and see a doctor, but since you probably want to know more before visting a doctor I have given an explanation of this phenomenon.\n\nIbuprofen and other NSAIDs are cox enzyme inhibitors.  Nonselective NSAIDs (Ibuprofen, Aspirin, Naproxen) inhibt both cox 1 and cox 2, while cox-2 specifc NSAIDs (Celebrex) inhibit only cox 2.  Cox 2 enzymes make prostaglandins, which is a class of compounds that do many things in many different places, including an involvement in the body's inflammatory repsonse mechanism.  Prostaglandins also have a function of reducing intraocular pressure in the eye.  \n\nIn one study of the cox 2 inhibitor Celebrex, intraocular pressure increased slightly, but not signifcantly enough for concern.  NSIADs seem not to display this effect, at least not as strongly generally, but medications can have rare side effects in a small group of people. \n\nI do not know how substantial this effect is, but your eyes are sensitive and very valuable organs.  You should see the doctor.

What is better a 64 bit processor or two 32 bit processors???

Two 32-bit processors might be more powerful than a single 64-bit processor. Also, if you have a 32-bit software platform, you cannot take advantage of a 64-bit processing power bonuses. However, some features of a 64-bit processor (code wording execution, memory addressing) cannot be achieved even if you combine one thousand 32-bit processors together. So, it's not like 64=2x32; it's more like comparing 2^32 and 2^64.

The circumference of the earth at the equator is 24,901.55 miles (40,075.16 kilometers).\n\nBut, if you measure the earth through the poles the circumference is a bit shorter - 24,859.82 miles (40,008 km). This the earth is a tad wider than it is tall, giving it a slight bulge at the equator. This shape is known as an ellipsoid or more properly, geoid (earth-like).


Who do I report to to homeschool my child in another country for a year?  My state? (CA) or the other country?

Military families most often deal with this situation.  When homeschooling in the states, they follow the rules of where they live vs where thier home is. \n\nFor families stationed overseas, they report to the local military community commander.  So I am led to believe that you might need to report to the local American Authority like the American Consolate in Brazil.\n\nI did manage to find one site that said:  The rules of homeschooling overseas in a civilian capacity (including missionaries, corporations, and other positions) are governed by the country in which you reside.\n\nAnother popular site says:  "My general advice is to contact the embassy of the country where you'll be, and ask about their compulsory education code and the exemptions to it. Do they allow for private schools or tutors? How does one qualify as a private school or tutor? Could you apply? If not, ask if your children can homeschool through a distance learning program, as enrollees in a distant private school."\n \nTo avoid that kind of hassle I would consider enrolling your child in a correspondence school so that your child is technically being educated by a US institution... at least while overseas.  You should choose a "school" that would eliminate your need to report or report for you.  Here is a list to consider. http://www.iched.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=iched&cat_id=profiles_index\n\nMy idea, I found backed by another website you will very well be interested in :  The following was written by an American living temporarily in Brazil.\n" The answers to my two concerns came together in one package -- a packaged home-study curriculum from an accredited private school in which my 2nd grader is actually enrolled and tested. It's as if she were attending classes there, except I teach her at home. Several such packages exist, but the most popular are Calvert School [http://www.calvertschool.org] which offers a traditional curriculum, Oak Meadow [http://www.oakmeadow.com] which offers a Waldorf approach, Clonlara [http://www.clonlara.org], and Laurel Springs [http://www.laurelsprings.com]. Most of these offer the curriculum (materials for the student and a guide for the teacher) with or without enrollment in the school. Some also offer online curricula, especially for upper grades."\n\nhttp://overseasdigest.com/july99.htm#Primer\n\nGood Luck, and have a great year!

How can a bisexual learn to become a heterosexual?

First stop calling yourself Gay or Bi. Then stay away from gay people or at least from their organs. Do away with the gay mannerisms. Become who it is you want to be: A MAN! Your a man now and you want a woman to keep you warm. Go to the STRAIGHT bars. Buy a woman some drinks. Make sure she sees all that money in your wallet. If that doesn't work out, go to the next woman and so on. Think of it as training. You'll find the woman of your dreams and have fun finding her. Have fun. Be happy. Just don't be GAY! \n\nOh, and Tessa...Our sexuality is in our minds, not our genes. Because if it was in our genes, we'd find the gay gene and ERADICATE IT!


why was the law passed for same sex marriage?

No law has been passed in any state allowing same sex marriage. The only state in which same sex marriage is legal is Massachusetts, and it is legal there because a court ruled that banning homosexuals from marrying was unconstitutional, based on the Massachusetts state constitution.\n\nThe judges' ruling was based on the idea that granting homosexual couples different opportunities is inherently unequal and since the state produced no compelling reason why homosexuals should be forced into this unequal status, it cannot be constitutional.

Do I have a right in North Carolina to see my termination report?

As usual with legal-related questions on Yahoo! Answers, far too little information exists to answer the question adequately.  Termination from what?  What were the circumstances regarding this mysterious termination?  Please note if this answer has been helpful, and create a new question with details of your particular situation, including the nature of this mysterious "termination."\n\nEDIT: I'm not entirely certain that North Carolina requires your employer to state the terms of your termination.  Have you asked for a formal explanation of the reasons behind the termination?  The employer may be willing to give them to you without the compulsion of the law.  Also, statute 95-242 (linked below) explains the procedure by which you may file a complaint with the Commissioner of Labor to investigate on your behalf.  That threat alone may make your employer willing to provide the information to you, simply so he does not have to answer to the Commissioner for such information.\n\nRegardless, winning a termination dispute can be very difficult.  You should consult the Commissioner of Labor for more specific details, but I'd try asking your former employer politely before threatening with legal action.  I hope this helps.

Where are the legitimate work at home jobs?

You're right a lot of those job postings for "work from home" and "make a $1000 a day" are all scams.  In fact, if they are advertising they are probably a scam, that's what I always figure.  I like the grass roots approach.  eBay is a great marketplace for new entrepreneurs without any setup costs or risk.  And you don't need to pay some other company or person to help you get started.  Find something you like and find a supplier, or even a cheep retail store where you can buy at a small discount.  A friend of mine collected beads for a long time and she decided to put some up for sale on eBay.  Within six months she found a supplier in Africa that was willing to send over a new package of beads every month and now she's doing it full time making decent money from home.\n\nIt's all about your own personal drive, if you have the passion for success and want to work from home, give the eBay thing a shot.  Ask around among your friends and family, my bet is someone you know has had a good experience making money from home that good help you get started!

Why did the United States supply Iraq and Saddam with biological and chemical weapons to use against Iran?

United States is evil. It just wants to approach it goals even if the cost is the life of millions of people. At that time the United States supported Iraq because it knew that the holy government of Iran is the biggest obstacle in Americas way to approach it's evil goals. But as soon as the Americans saw that Saddam's regime was turning it's back on them they stopped supporting it. United States doesn't care about the lives of people, and the human rights, this is why they supplied Iraq with Biological and chemical weapons wich caused more than 90% of the causualties of the war.\nthree years later the United States turned it's back against Iraq when Iraq attacked Kuwait cause this time Iraq wasn't moving with respect to their goals.

There are different "types" of canker sores but, in general, that term refers to a type of ulcer called "aphthous ulcers."  These ulcers are occur on the inside of lips, tongue, and throat (soft tissues in the mouth).  It is unclear exactly what causes them, but some believe them to be a result of Coxsackie virus, a relatively harmless virus known for causing colds.  In addition, it is believed that trauma to the mouth, including from regular brushing and irritation from certain components in most toothpastes (sodium lauryl sulfate, in particular).  Start using a toothpaste without sodium lauryl sulfate in it (such as Rembrandt Canker Sore).  Your physician can also prescribe certain mouthwashes ("magic mouthwash") with certain ingredients in it such as lidocaine, triamcinolone, and diphenhydramine which can make them more comfortable until they clear.

It works best if you have a group of friends that like similar music, and play a variety of guitars and other instruments. Then practice like crazy. Do your best to write your own music. Then, once you have worked out several songs, make a small but good recording. Take it to all your local bars and coffeehouses that accept bands. Press packs are good, and they include a band bio, details on members, a demo CD, etc. They are good to send to local radio stations and big name venues. Log on the MySpace.com and make yourself an account. Look for local bands you'd like to play with and send them a message. I hope all this helps you.


how did rising social tensions during world war two affect japanese internments?

There is no doubt that the interment of Japanese during World War II is not a stellar event in the rights of individuals.  It should be kept in mind that such government instigated intrusive acts had happened here many times in prior years.  \n\nIt should also be understood that this happened over a period of time (mostly during War Time) and was not supported by all Americans.  A short summary of events, as they occurred, might help to understand how this all came about.\n\n1939\nLists of "dangerous" enemy aliens and citizens began to be compiled in various government departments, such as the FBI, special intelligence agencies of the Justice Department, the Office of Naval Intelligence, and the army's Military Intelligence Division.8 \n1940\nThe census found 126,947 Japanese Americans; 62.7% were citizens by birth. In addition, 157,905 were in the Territory of Hawaii, and 263 in the Territory of Alaska.2 \nSummer, 1941\nThe Hawaiian National Guard (made up largely of Nisei) was federalized and later became the 100th Infantry Battalion and 442nd Regimental Combat Team.1 \nNovember 1, 1941\nThe Japanese Language School at the Presidio of San Francisco was formed. In the first class were 45 Nisei and Kibei and 15 others. It was moved to Camp Savage, Minnesota, renamed the Military Intelligence Service Language School (MISLS) and later moved to Fort Snelling, Minnesota.1 \nNovember 7, 1941\nCurtis Munson issued his report on the Japanese Americans living on the coast.12 \nNovember 26, 1941\nGrace Tully (Roosevelt's secretary) told Henry Field (anthropologist and aide to Roosevelt) that the President was ordering him to produce, in the shortest time possible, the full names and addresses of each American-born and foreign-born Japanese listed by locality within each state. She told him to use the 1930 and 1940 census.13 \nDecember 7, 1941\nJapan bombed Pearl Harbor.\nA blanket presidential warrant authorized U.S. Attorney General Francis Biddle to have the FBI arrest a predetermined number of "dangerous enemy aliens," including German, Italian, and Japanese nationals. 737 Japanese Americans arrested by the end of the day.2 \n\nDecember 8, 1941\nU.S. entered World War II. \nDecember 11, 1941\nFBI detained 1370 Japanese Americans classified as "dangerous enemy aliens."2 \nDecember 22, 1941\nThe Agriculture Committee of the L.A. Chamber of Commerce recommended that all Japanese nationals be put under "absolute Federal control."2 \nDecember 29, 1941\nAll enemy aliens in California, Oregon, Washington, Montana, Idaho, Utah, and Nevada were ordered to surrender contraband.2 \nJanuary 5, 1942\nJapanese American selective service registrants classified as enemy aliens (IV-C). Many Japanese American soldiers discharged or assigned to menial labor such as "kitchen police."2 \nJanuary 6, 1942\n"I do not believe that we could be any too strict in our consideration of the Japanese in the face of the treacherous way in which they do things," wrote Leland Ford, L.A. Congressman, in a telegram to Secretary of State Cordell Hull, asking that all Japanese Americans be removed from the West Coast.2 \nJanuary 28, 1942\nThe California State Personnel Board voted to bar all "descendants of natives with whom the United States [is] at war" from all civil service positions. This was only enforced against Japanese Americans.2\nJanuary 29, 1942\nAttorney General Francis Biddle began the establishment of prohibited zones forbidden to all enemy aliens. German, Italian, and Japanese aliens were ordered to leave San Francisco waterfront areas.2 \nJanuary 30, 1942\n"Unless something is done it may bring about a repetition of Pearl Harbor," said Earl Warren, California Attorney General, calling Japanese Californians the "Achilles heel of the entire civilian defense effort."2 \nFebruary 4, 1942\nThe U.S. Army established 12 "restricted areas" in which enemy a

Pisces (pī`sēz) [Lat.,=the fishes], constellation constellation, in common usage, group of stars that appear to form a configuration in the sky; properly speaking, a constellation is a definite region of the sky in which the configuration of stars is contained. Identifiable groupings of bright stars have been recognized and named since ancient times, the names corresponding to mythological figures (e.g., Perseus, Andromeda, Hercules, Orion), animals (e.g., Leo the Lion, Cygnus the Swan, Draco the Dragon), or objects (e.g., Libra the Balance, Corona the Crown).

I'm sure they will have to sell it at the market price just like all the rest of the oil producers. Oil market trading takes place in London and New York using benchmark crudes from specific areas. Most other crudes are priced plus or minus one of those benchmarks, such as West Texas Intermediate, or Brent Crude (from the North Sea). The price differential is according to the quality of the crude oil and the distance required to ship the oil to market.\n\nAlgeria produces 1.23 million barrels per day as well as substantial quantities of condensate and natural gas. About 90% of Algerias exports of oil go to Western Europe, predominantly Italy.
