Different measures of money have different technical definitions. The most common measures are named M0, M1, M2, and M3 (from narrow to broadly defined). In the United States, these are defined as follows:\n\n    * M0: The total of all coins and paper cash in circulation.\n    * M1: M0 + the amount in checking or demand deposit accounts\n    * M2: M1 + other various savings account types, money market accounts, and certificate of deposit accounts (CDs) of under $100,000.\n    * M3: M2 + all other CDs, deposits of eurodollars and repurchase agreements.\n\nAs of about the year 2000 in the US, the M1 money supply was about 1.3 trillion dollars, the M2 was $5.4 trillion, and the M3 was $7.8 trillion. If you split all of the money equally per person in the United States, each person would end up with roughly $26,000 ($7,800,000M/300M).\n\nThe amount of actual physical cash M0 was $688 billion in 2004. Slightly more than the $474 billion of deposits at Citigroup at the end of 2003

Shah Jahan Birth name: Ghiyasuddin Shah Jahan\nTitle: Emperor of Mughal Empire\nBirth: January 5, 1592\nPlace of birth: Lahore, Punjab (Pakistan)\nDeath: January 22, 1666\nSucceeded by: Aurangzeb\nMarriage: \n\n    * Quandari Begum\n    * Mumtaz Mahal\n\nChildren: \n\n    * Aurangzeb, son\n    * Murad Baksh, son\n    * Dara Shikoh, son\n    * Shah Shuja, son\n    * Jahanara Begum, daughter\n    * Roshanara Begum, daughter\n    * Gauharara Begum, daughter\n\n\nGhiyasuddin Shah Jahan (شاہ جحاں, also spelled Shah Jehan, Shahjehan, January 5, 1592 – January 22, 1666) was the ruler of the Mughal Empire in India from 1628 until 1658. The name Shah Jahan comes from Persian شاه‌جهان meaning "The Ruler of the World". Shah Jahan is best known as the builder of the Taj Mahal, a shrine to his Persian second wife, Arjumand Bano Begum, popularly known as Mumtaz Mahal ("Ornament of the Palace") whom he married on May 10, 1612, at the age of 20.\nContents\n\n    * 1 Rise to power\n    * 2 Accomplishments\n    * 3 Decline and fall\n    * 4 Legacy\n    * 5 Literary sources\n    * 6 Notable structures associated with Shah Jahan\n    * 7 External links\n\n[edit]\n\nRise to power\n\nShah Jahan was born with the name Prince Khurram to Jahangir and the Hindu Rajput Princess Manmati, and was reportedly close to his grandfather Akbar as a child. Khurram raised an army against Jahangir in 1622, but the insurgency failed. He was forgiven and accepted back into the fold but two of his sons, Prince Aurangzeb and Dara Shikoh, were sent to Jahangir's court against the possibility of Prince Khurram revolting again.\n\nAfter Jahangir's death in 1627, Khurram captured power after a fratricidal war against his weaker brother, Shahryar, who was supported by Jahangir's powerful widow Nur Jehan with the help of Abdul Hassan Asaf Khan . It was shortly after this that he took the rule name Shah Jahan, February 4, 1628.\n[edit]\n\nAccomplishments\n\nAlthough his father's rule was generally peaceful, the empire was experiencing challenges by the end of his reign. Shah Jahan reversed this trend by putting down a Muslim rebellion in Ahmednagar, repulsing the Portuguese in the Bengal, capturing the Rajput kingdoms of Baglana and Bundelkhand to the west, and the kingdoms of Bijapur and Golconda in the Deccan and the northwest beyond the Khyber Pass. Shah Jahan's military campaigns drained the imperial treasury. Under his rule, the state became a huge military machine and the nobles and their contingents multiplied almost fourfold, so did the demands for more revenue from the peasantry. However, his political efforts encouraged the emergence of large centers of commerce and crafts--such as Lahore, Delhi, Agra, and Ahmadabad--linked by roads and waterways to distant places and ports. He moved the capital from Agra to Delhi, the traditional seat of Muslim power.\n\nUnder Shah Jahan's rule, Mughal artistic and architectural achievements reached their zenith. Shah Jahan was a prolific builder with a highly refined aesthetic. He built the legendary Taj Mahal in Agra as a tomb for his beloved wife, Mumtaz Mahal. Among his surviving buildings are the Red Fort and Jamia Masjid in Delhi, the Shalimar Gardens of Lahore and buildings at the Lahore Fort.\n\nAlthough the empire's financial expenditures were excessive when resources were shrinking, by the end of Shah Jahan's reign, the empire was again expanding.\n\nLegend has it that Shah Jahan wanted to build a black Taj Mahal, to match the white one[1]. There is no reputable scholarship to support this hypothesis, however.[2][3][4].\n[edit]\n\nDecline and fall\n\nWhen Shah Jahan fell severely ill beginning in 1657, the struggle to succeed him began. His second son, Shah Shuja declared himself emperor in Bengal. Aurangzeb also challenged his father and the expected successor, Dara Shikoh, Aurangzeb's elder brother. Despite strong support from Shah Jahan, who had

Do you think medicare should cover birth control?

Frankly, I think that free birth control should be a constitutionally guaranteed right, so yes, Medicare should cover birth control.\n\nSadly, the religious right is stuck in the dark ages and thinks that birth control is bad. Religion has a vested interest in having more babies around, as they usually grow up to join the church.\n\nLogically it doesn't make any sense, but that hasn't stopped them from getting their way for two-thousand years.

Using a laser rather than a surgical knife reduces the chance of complications such as an infection, and promotes better healing of the corneal flap.\n\nMost laser eye surgeons offer the option of a  laser to make this cut. Sometimes it is an additional cost to the regular procedure price - but a recommended one.


where can I find a deal of 20G external hard drive?

Why 20 GB external hardrive?\nYou can buy a more capacity Internal hard disk and use an external enclosure to make it as a external drive. It would be a cheaper option. \nI recently bought a 250 GB internal hard disk with 7200 rpm and 16 MB buffer etc.. and a external USB 2.0 enclosure with a power source + Fan.. Total cost was around $90.00 \nYou could find better deals than this, i bet..


If your wife/husband's ex was posting pornographic pictures of them what would you do?

Contact the ISP where the pictures are being hosted, and inform them that they have been posted without permission. This is usually enough to get their account yanked. Make it clear to them that if the images are made publically available ever again, every possible legal option will be persued. Make sure you keep the moral high ground at all times, so if this ever goes near court, it is an open and shut case which they will lose.

I want to share a laser printer between 2 Macs and 1 PC at home over a wireless newtork. Is this possible?

The simplest way to do that would be to physically connect the printer to one of the computers and share the printer so the other computers can print through that printer.\n\nAlternatively, if you don't want to connect any one computer to the printer, you can get a JetDirect print server. The 1200n comes with JetDirect already, though I don't think it is wireless. In any event, HP sells wireless JetDirect servers which would work with your printer.

the human resources control in relation to compensation and wages in an organisation?

A Human Resources Director will generally perform salary reviews and make recommendations to other senior staff on compensation (pay raises, equitable pay, etc.). This is true for a larger organization, where Human Resources is departmentalized, and for smaller organizations that employee only an HR director. An HR person has control over compensation and wages only to the extent that he/she makes recommendations to the staff that make decisions.

Question regarding the reconstruction process after the civil war?

In terms of needs, the Freedmen's bureau provided education, job skills and all the things that were denied them as slaves. The federal government cut funding for the bureau and it soon failed in its mission. \nBasically, the northern politicians stopped caring about the plight of the A-A, cut funding to resources like the Bureau to help them and didn't enforce the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments. It is almost like institutional racism. You can't change people's beliefs overnight and there just wasn't a sense of urgency after all the fighting of the war to change them or to fight again to make them true equals and really help the A-A.\nAlot of people, North and South didn't want to have A-A and whites on equal terms. Many wanted them to not be slaves anymore, but not equals, so they just ignored the Jim Crow laws and the institutional seperate but equal doctrines of the times until whites and A-A fought side-by-side in WW II.\n\nAlso, a lot of the same politicans who were pro-slavery went back into power at the state and federal levels in the south after the war and weren't really willing to change their attitudes.

Some people call it "soda," some people call it "pop," and some people call it "coke."...

In Pittsburgh, if you ordered "soda" you'd get what New Yorkers and other eastern folks call, "Ice cream soda"-------fizzy water, syrup, ice cream, with whipped cream and a cherry on top. (Now served without cherry, whipped or ice cream under the name "Italian soda" in fancy coffee shops.)\n\nA few hours away,in Washington, D.C., they'd look at you and stare if you asked for "pop". They'd never heard of it. But, out here in Wisconsin, about a day and a half away, everybody knows what "pop" is, thank God, and I've been living here for twenty three years now.

I, as a parent, don't try and ruin my childs life.  Indeed not.  I try and ensure that my ch ild is able to make the most reasonable decisions for their safety, education and wellbeing.  If that contradicts with what the child wants, then so be it.  I, as the parent, often know what is best for my child.  And, if that means my child hates me for it, i know that one day that will change, and they will grow up and see that what i did was for their own good :)\n\nParents don't ruin lives, chances are, teenagers and kids do that well enough on their own :)

What should be used as ALT text for a floorplan diagram?

W3C is a good place to start for HTML questions. The link below is their page about ALT. It tells people who can't see the picture what it is. So, "Floor plan of my house" or "floor plan of Buckingham palace" would do it. Someone who is REALLY interested will turn on his graphics, or ask a sighted person to describe it to him, or otherwise cope.\n\nALT should describe the graphic, not be the text equivalent. There is a difference. To take an extreme example, someone born blind who surfs with a browser that reads aloud to him is never going to know what a rainbow looks like. \n\nALT="Rainbow over pasture" \n\nwill tell him the picture is one of those rainbow things sighted people have been telling about all his life. You aren't going to be able to describe it to him.


Simply put, because they can.  It's an inherent desire for all people to feel powerful to some degree, especially in the workforce.  When individuals lack power or the feeling thereof, who better to "abuse" than temps?  It's "safe," simply because temps are not around for as long as permanent employees, and as far as status is concerned, temps tend to be lower on the totem pole and therefore easier to target.  I have worked as a temp and do not condone this behavior, but I'm afraid it's becoming an almost unavoidable fact of American life.


What is the reason behind premature ejaculations and how to get around it?

What is premature ejaculation?\n\nPremature ejaculation is the inability to delay ejaculation till the man wishes or when ejaculation occurs too early in the sexual act to satisfy both partners. The time to reach the stage of ejaculation is subjective and varies form one man to another. Some men may ejaculate immediately after copulation begins while another may not ejaculate even after 10 minutes. Thus, time is not a criterion for ascertaining whether the ejaculation is premature or not; mutual satisfaction is the benchmark against which this condition is measured.\n\nWhat is the cause?\n\nPremature ejaculation primarily has a physiological basis. Biologically, men have an orgasm approximately 2-3 minutes after penetrating the vagina. Women, on the other hand, typically take more time to reach the climax. Since in most cases, the partners may not climax together, they are not satisfied and the ejaculation is termed premature. \n\nHowever, premature ejaculation may be caused by a variety of psychological and social reasons. It is seen that it occurs frequently when the man is under mental stress or anxiety. Anxiety may be due to the fear of non-performance, the fear of being discovered (as during premarital or extramarital sex in our society) or anxiety related to contraction of sexually transmitted diseases or an unwanted pregnancy.\n\nThough men of all ages may experience the condition, it is more common in adolescents, young adults and inexperienced men. However, it is also true that almost all men experience it at some point in their lives. Premature ejaculation is one of the most common sexual problems for which couples seek advice. The result of treatment is often successful.\n\nWhat are the symptoms?\n\n\nSince premature ejaculation is not a disease, it does not have the classic "symptoms". An individual realizes that he is suffering from it when sexual intercourse ends before either partner is completely satisfied. It is diagnosed by a physical examination, in addition to interviews with the couple regarding their relationship.\n\nWhat is the treatment?\n\nIn some cases, the problem can be solved simply by educating an individual about the condition and reassuring him. Counselling is provided by psychologists that helps a man to deal with his fears and anxieties and, thus, eliminate the psychological causes of the condition. The following techniques may be beneficial in delaying ejaculation:\n\n   1. The "stop and start" method – in this method, the man learns to recognise the stage after which he cannot control ejaculation. The treatment method trains the person to remove the stimulus just before that stage is reached so that the urge to ejaculate is controlled. For example, when during masturbation, the man reaches a point just before ejaculating, he stops the stimulus until he starts losing the erection. Once the stage is past, he can resume the activity. This process is repeated again and again until the individual is able to delay ejaculation till the time he wishes. This method called the 'Masters and Johnson method', is most effective when the help of the partner is sought during actual intercourse.\n   2. The squeeze technique – in this method, the partner gently squeezes the tip or base of the penis just before the point of ejaculation thereby "cancelling" the orgasm. This process can be continued until the couple decides mutually to reach the climax.\n   3. Desensitising creams and gels are available in the market that reduce the sensitivity of the penis and help men reach climax later. Some men also feel that condoms reduce the sensations and, in addition to providing safer sex, help them last longer.\n   4. The couple can also experiment with sexual positions as some positions offer more control than others and may help to delay ejaculation.

Dissociative Identity Disorder:  Do the multiple personalities need to be fused ?

This is from the Merck Manual:\n"All successful treatments that aim to achieve integration involve psychotherapy that specifically addresses the dissociative identity disorder. Some patients are unable or unwilling to pursue integration. For them, treatment aims to facilitate cooperation and collaboration among the personalities and to reduce symptoms. This treatment is often arduous and painful, and many crises tend to arise as a result of the personalities' actions and the patient's despair when dealing with traumatic memories. One or more periods of psychiatric hospitalization may be necessary to help some patients through difficult times and during the processing of particularly painful memories. Hypnosis is often used to help access the personalities, facilitate communication between them, and stabilize and interpret them. Hypnosis is also used to discuss traumatic memories and diffuse their impact. Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), applied cautiously, is a useful adjunct. EMDR tries to process traumatic memories and to replace negative thoughts about self that are associated with these memories with positive ones.\n\nGenerally, two or more psychotherapy sessions per week for 3 to >= 6 years are necessary to integrate the personalities or to achieve harmonious interaction among them that allows normal functioning without symptoms. Integration of the personalities is the most desirable outcome.\n\nPsychotherapy has three main phases. In the first phase, the priority is safety, stabilization, and strengthening of the patient in anticipation of the difficult work of processing traumatic material and dealing with problematic personalities. The personality system is explored and mapped to plan the remainder of the treatment. In the second phase, the patient is helped to process the painful episodes of his past and to mourn the losses and other negative consequences of the trauma. As the reasons for the patient's remaining dissociations are addressed, therapy can move to the final phase, in which the patient's selves and relationships and social functioning can be reconnected, integrated, and rehabilitated. Some integration occurs spontaneously, but much must be encouraged by conversing with and arranging the unification of the personalities or must be facilitated with imagery and hypnotic suggestion. After integration, patients continue treatment to deal with some issues that have not been resolved. After postintegration treatment appears complete, visits to the therapist are tapered but are rarely completely terminated. Patients come to think of the psychiatrist as someone who can help them deal with psychologic issues, just as they periodically need assistance from a primary care physician."


can anyone please tell me what it is called when something 'is because it is because it is?

Tautological?.  Incidentally, the sky is blue due to rayleigh scattering, not any kind of reflection from the sky.  Tautologies aren't always bad, or without meaning...

How do I get rid of a virus that got past Norton Antivirus Security? Help, PLEASE!?

There are one of two things for you and I dearly hope that you didn't pay for that copy of Norton.  The first thing is uninstall Norton, it is the worst anti-virus application on the market, you will probably have to restart.  Then download and install AVG Free made by Grisoft, http://free.grisoft.com/ which is a free anti-virus program and you will get free program updates as well.  Once that is installed run its scanner to remove the virus.\n\nOr, you can download AVG Free without uninstalling Norton but having two anti-virus solutions on your PC is never a good idea as they may interfere with each other.\n\nFor a Firewall (always have your PC behind a router) but for a software solution I like the Kerio Personal Firewall, http://www.snapfiles.com/get/keriofirewall.html/\n\nFor spyware protection get all of the following:\n\nAdaware SE Personal, http://www.lavasoft.com/\nMS Antispyware Beta, http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/default.mspx\nSpybot S&D, http://www.safer-networking.com/\nSpywareBlaster, http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/\n\nWell, just go ahead and download AVG and run it instead.  Norton should be in the Add/Remove programs list in the Control Panel, if it isn't check it's entry in the Start Menu under All Programs and see if Norton provided an uninstaller, there has to be a way to get rid of it.  If you still can't remove it download, CCleaner, http://www.ccleaner.com/ and see if it has an option to remove Norton under its "Tools" section.\n\nIf you STILL can't remove it, just go ahead and download AVG.  But prevent Norton from starting up by going to Start > Run typing in msconfig and uncheck anything related to Norton, if you can't identify it, type the item names into Google to identify them, the first or second search result will be from a process library telling you what the entry is.

ANTENNA INTRODUCTION / BASICS\nRULES OF THUMB:\n1. The Gain of an antenna with losses is given by:\n\n\n\n2. Gain of rectangular X-Band Aperture\n\n G = 1.4 LW  Where:  L = length of aperture in cm\nW = width of aperture in cm \n\n\n3. Gain of Circular X-Band Aperture\n\n\n\n4. Gain of an isotropic antenna radiating in a uniform spherical pattern is one (0 dB).\n\n5. Antenna with a 20 degree beamwidth has a 20 dB gain.\n\n6. 3 dB beamwidth is approximately equal to the angle from the peak of the power to the first null (see figure at right).\n\n \n\n7. Parabolic Antenna Beamwidth:\n\n\n\n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\nANTENNA BASICS\nThe antenna equations which follow relate to Figure 1 as a typical antenna. In Figure 1, BW is the azimuth beamwidth and BW is the elevation beamwidth. Beamwidth is normally measured at the half-power or -3 dB point unless otherwise specified. See Glossary. The gain or directivity of an antenna is the ratio of the radiation intensity in a given direction to the radiation intensity averaged over all directions.\n\n \n\nQuite often directivity and gain are used interchangeably. The difference is that directivity neglects antenna losses such as dielectric, resistance, polarization, and VSWR losses. Since these losses in most classes of antennas are usually quite small, the directivity and gain will be approximately equal (disregarding unwanted pattern characteristics).\n\nNormalizing a radiation pattern by the integrated total power yields the directivity of the antenna. This concept in shown in equation form by:\n\n\n\n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\nAnother important concept is that when the angle in which the radiation is constrained is reduced, the directive gain goes up. For example, using an isotropic radiating source, the gain would be 0 dB by definition (Figure 2(a)) and the power density (Pd) at any given point would be the power in (Pin) divided by the surface area of the imaginary sphere at a distance R from the source. If the spacial angle was decreased to one hemisphere (Figure 2(b)), the power radiated, Pin, would be the same but the area would be half as much, so the gain would double to 3 dB. Likewise if the angle is a quarter sphere, (Figure 2(c)), the gain would be 6 dB. Figure 2(d) shows a pencil beam. The gain is independent of actual power output and radius (distance) at which measurements are taken.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\n\nReal antennas are different, however, and do not have an ideal radiation distribution. Energy varies with angular displacement and losses occur due to sidelobes.\n\nHowever, if we can measure the pattern, and determine the beamwidth we can use two (or more) ideal antenna models to approximate a real antenna pattern as shown in Figure 3.\n\n\n \n\nAssuming the antenna pattern is uniform, the gain is equal to the area of the isotropic sphere (4r 2 ) divided by the sector (cross section) area.\n\n\n\n\nIt can be shown that:\n\n\n\n\nFrom this point, two different models are presented:\n\n(1) Approximating an antenna pattern using an elliptical area, and\n\n(2) Approximating an antenna pattern using a rectangular area.\n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nApproximating the antenna pattern as an elliptical area:\n \nArea of ellipse =  a b = [ (r sin )/2 ][ (r sin )/2 ]= ( r 2 sin  sin )/4\n\n\n\nFor small angles, sin  =  in radians, so:\n\n\n\n\nThe second term in the equation above is very close to equation [3].\n\nFor a very directional radar dish with a beamwidth of 1° and an average efficiency of 55%:\n\nIdeally: G = 52525, or in dB form: 10 log G =10 log 52525 = 47.2 dB\n\nWith efficiency taken into account, G = 0.55(52525) = 28888, or in log form: 10 log G = 44.6 dB\n\n \n\nApproximating the antenna pattern as a rect

what are the best websites for info on the satanic church and thier religion?

Your mind really. We make up religion to suit our needs. No real proof exist for symbols of good nor evil. This is why both sides of the coin exist. We simply do not know and remain mystified or in question. Both religions based on evil or good as forces percieved by humanity. Now to answer your question-at least go for a Druid religion or Wicca. It is realistic. Type in Wicca.com. Our minds are still in early stages of evolution. What you imagine or perceive can be amplified to the extent you create proof. I will tell you this: it is all tail chasing if you seek some organization to belong to. You will be manipulated. You search for power in numbers perhaps, or some unity to acknowledge your belief. Look into yourself. The web site is in your heart, honestly. In the end, you will find that wisdom and knowledge are released with spiritual insight and evil negates this. I truly know this first hand. Do as you may, but do not hurt others unless they hurt you in a real way with malific intent.

Why can't I reach certain websites using Firefox that I can reach with no problem using IE6?

Firefox is a different browser to IE6. It interprets the code used to make websites in a slightly different way and uses a different rendering engine to build the pages on your screen (called Gecko).\n\nLuckily there are web standards outlined by the W3 consortium which lay down the way in which websites should be coded. Manufacturers of browsers are then supposed to follow these guidelines. In this way a fully web standards approved page should be renderable on any browser.\n\nHowever the manufacturers of browsers do not fully follow the rules. In fact IE particularly deviates. Due to the huge dominance of IE as a choice for a browser (around 85% of people use it) sites have been coded to specifically render well in IE, as that is where most of their users are based.\n\nYet the number of people using alternative browsers has recently started to rise so web developers are starting to realise that they need to support Firefox and other browsers (otherwise they lose customers). Recently there has been an article that  ponders whether sites can afford to ignore Firefox anymore. Take a read:\n\nhttp://www.marketingsherpa.com/sample.cfm?contentID=3130\n\nSo to come back and answer the question: Firefox doesn't render all pages perfectly in a way that IE does as wed developers have been coding spefically for IE instead of to web standards. The situation should improve as alternative browser usage increases.


Why do Euro-Americans wear shoes in their homes?

There are many reasons. Asthetic-the sight of dirty, smelly shoes is unattractive to some, and many choose to "hide" their shoes essentially in the bowels of their closet/room. Convinience-Many people know that at any moment, they will have to walk outside or answer the door, and prefer to avoid the extra work (which is also another factor, Laziness.) Probably the most obvious reason is a lot of these shoes you think should be left off are sparkling, germ/dirt-free accessories which only touch 1 square block of pavement, the gas/brake pedal on a car, and that person's alternate sterile/comfortable environment. Simple, we do not see our shoes as anything different than gloves, a coat, winter hat, that should be put away in its proper place once inside.

What is Slot Management? (especially in a shipping context) And what do you do with Slot Management as a job?

I will take a shot for you. I work in the maritime industry.  Picture this- You own a ship, and another company owns a ship. You both want to run them on a scheduled route on a weekly basis, but your ship cant get back to each port within a week.\n\nYou decide you will both run the same service. Now you can each have the same number of slots on a ship each week. You want to maximize this use- even if it involves relocating empty containers (if there is a demand on the other end). You can imagine this being more complicated if you each of 2 ships, and there are 3 companies involved, a total of 6 ships.\n\nYour volumes will fluctuate you must manage your space accordingly and not overbook the vessel for your allotment and depending upon the contract, you could have less space on each vessel, etc. \n\nThat's it in a nutshell.

in gestational diabetes during pragnancy, is it required not to extend the delivery time mroe than 38 weeks?

It's not required but it is recommended.  Generally baby's of mom's who have gestational diabetes during pregnancy are significantly larger than other babies.  If allowed to carry a pregnancy to 40 weeks (for example) your risks during delivery increase greatly...especially a vaginal delivery mostly impart to the size...waiting can increase the chances you will have a c section for the very same reason.  The baby's just too big to come out the other way.

Can quartz crystal be melted and shaped like glass can?

When people say "glass," they usually mean soda-lime glass.  That is made by mixing fluxes, soda ash (Na20) and lime (Ca0) with quartz and melting the mixture.  Soda and lime reduce the viscosity of the melt.\n\n"Fused quartz" is a glass (i.e. noncrystalline) that is made by melting quartz (or synthetic silicon dioxide) and cooling it too fast for crystals to form.  You can make fused quartz, but it is difficult to handle because it is so viscous.  Unless you need the properties of fused quartz, you would be better off to melt some glass.

how much wood could a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood?

A wood chuck could chuck two to eleven pounds of wood, if a woodchuck could chuck its own weight.\n\nAccording to a Wall Street Journal article, Richard Thomas, a wildlife expert from New York, estimated that a woodchuck moves about 700 pounds of dirt in building its burrow...so, he estimated that over that same time and effort, a woodchuck could chuck 700 pounds of wood if a woodchuck could chuck wood.

First, look at any typical airfoil shape. It is sort of teardrop shaped, with a round end and a pointy end, but not symmetrical--one side seems flatter than the other. Let's imagine that the pointy end points to the right, the round end point to the left, the flatter side is on the bottom and the rounder side is on top.\n\nLet air flow from the left to the right. Air flowing near the airfoil at speeds that are not too fast (less than the speed of sound) is not compressible. Let's follow two tiny blobs of air that start next to each other, but approach the round end of the airfoil in such a way that one blob goes up and over the airfoil, while the other slides over the bottom. These two blobs will arrive at the pointy end at approximately the same time. But, the one going up and over as a longer path to take and therefore must travel faster. All the air molecules in a blob are actually thrashing about randomly and can collide with other air blobs nearby as well as the upper surface of the airfoil. This is true of the upper blob and the lower blob. But, if the upper blobs average speed is faster, then its molecules collide with the upper surface of the airfoil less over the trip from round end to point end than do the molecules in the lower blob. Therefore the pressure caused by the collisions of the molecules in the upper air blob on the upper side of the airfoil is less than the pressure on the lower surface caused by collisions of the lower blob's molecules with the lower surface. This means there is a difference of pressure between the two surfaces--pressure drops as you go from upper to lower surface. If the airfoil is rigid, then this difference in pressure will become a force exerted on the airfoil from below, called lift. This lift is what makes an airplane rise on takeoff as it rushes through the air with its wings whose cross-sections are airfoil shaped, rounded end into the oncoming air and flatter side towards the ground.


Please Provide me information about the  ushroom farming?

Hope this site helps before you go further.\n\n"... Mushroom farming consists of six steps, and although the divisions are somewhat arbitrary, these steps identify what is needed to form a production system. \n\nThe six steps are Phase I composting, Phase II composting, spawning, casing, pinning, and cropping. These steps are described in their naturally occurring sequence, emphasizing the salient features within each step. Compost provides nutrients needed for mushrooms to grow. Two types of material are generally used for mushroom compost, the most used and least expensive being wheat straw-bedded horse manure. Synthetic compost is usually made from hay and crushed corn cobs, although the term often refers to any mushroom compost where the prime ingredient is not horse manure. Both types of compost require the addition of nitrogen supplements and a conditioning agent, gypsum..."

If money is legal tender, must a store legally accept it?

The Coinage Act of 1965, specifically Section 31 U.S.C. 5103, entitled "Legal tender," states: "United States coins and currency (including Federal reserve notes and circulating notes of Federal reserve banks and national banks) are legal tender for all debts, public charges, taxes, and dues."\n\nThis statute means that all United States money as identified above are a valid and legal offer of payment for debts when tendered to a creditor. There is, however, no Federal statute mandating that a private business, a person or an organization must accept currency or coins as for payment for goods and/or services. Private businesses are free to develop their own policies on whether or not to accept cash unless there is a State law which says otherwise. For example, a bus line may prohibit payment of fares in pennies or dollar bills. In addition, movie theaters, convenience stores and gas stations may refuse to accept large denomination currency (usually notes above $20) as a matter of policy.


Why are girls hitting puberty earlier in life then in the past?

Some people think that hormone injections given animals we use for food is responsible. Another popular theory is that this is evolution of our species. Our species is evolving to become more efficient at reproduction. Actually, these changes in puberty age can be traced back to times long before hormone injections were being used, so evolution is a more logical answer.

Service for Seniors provides a simple system for low-income seniors in Canada, or those helping them with their income taxes, to file their Canadian income tax returns by phone. \n\nBased on their previous income tax returns, in late January about 275,000 Canadian seniors are sent a personalized letter from the Canada Revenue Agency inviting them to use the Service for Seniors. The letter contains an information sheet and an access code for using the service. \n\nService for Seniors lets eligible seniors enter their Social Insurance Number and access code, and answer a few questions with "yes" or "no." Income is calculated automatically using Canada Revenue Agency information and allowances for the basic personal amount, age amount and, if applicable, the disability amount, The only amounts that have to be entered are to claim refundable provincial or territorial tax credits for residents of Ontario, Manitoba and the Northwest Territories.

What is the temperature of an absolute vacuum?

i never really thought about it and so i was just going to say that temperature doesnt matter because its a vacuum and is dealing with the pressure... but when i thought about it... come to think of it, i do have an answer for you.  the temperature would be zero kelvin, absolute zero.\n\n in an absolute vacuum, the pressure would be 0 if there were no particles, because the more particles you cram into one place, the more pressure there is because p=F/A pressure equals the force of the particles divided by the area of the wall of the container, so with no force of particles(since there are no partiles), the pressure would be zero.  in an absolute vacuum, there are no particles.  Now, if the pressure is zero, then according to the formula PV=nRT (which is just the ideal gas law formula,) if P(pressure) equals 0, i think that means that T(temperature in Kelvin)would also be 0 which would mean that the temperature would be at absolute zero(which is defined as the temperature where all matter stops moving.. not that this would make a difference because there are no particles there because it's an absolute vacuum.  \n\nThis is what i suspect and to confirm my beliefs,  it is consistent with the fact that someone else said that outer space was 3K, and although it's very close to an absolute vacuum, there are a few particles and atoms of gas floating around there, and so it is not quite an absolute vacuum, and the temperature is 3K, meaning it's not quite at absolute zero.  so it stands to reason that since temperature decreases when pressure decreases, that in an absolute vacuum the temperature would be absolute zero, 0 kelvin.\n\ni hope this is a "good answer" and that i made sense while i took you through my reasoning :)

How do I get rid of SBC Online Protection?

We might not want to call technical support for whatever reason, it is still best to contact them as this was stated in that email. There are underlying factors why it still showing you those kind of errors but only SBC knows because of the fact this is their product and that by just merely uninstalling it might not really help. Phone technical support will really take longer than what you think in which perhaps that is why you did not bother to call, did you? But just try it and be patient because they really need to ask you "stupid" questions to get into the bottom of it. But if you come to think of it, they are just asking these because they are not physically present to where your computer is.. You may not agree, but I guess this is all you can get for a free support.


That's a tough question. Many plasma tv's are HDTV.\n\nYou have to look at two dimensions. The display technology: Plasma, LCD, DLP. Generally each has its own weakness and strength.\n\nand HD Compatibility. HD Compatibility generally falls into three categories: non compatible, HD Ready, and HDTV Tuner. HD Ready means that the TV will display a picture in HD but requires a box to decode the signal. HDTV Tuner usually has the decoder inside and does not require a box to decode. Usually these TV's accept cards from cable providers to give you access to cable.\n\nI've posted a few links that might help with the display technology question.


what were the cowboy and indian wars like?

cowboys hardly roughnecked with indians, cowboys spent their days protecting their scalps, and their horses from horse-thieves and ambitious young indian males who syoel the horses to become more rich. indians considered horses as a form of money. when an indian male took a wilf, it was customary to give the girls family 5-10 horses if she was poor, if she was rich it can take up to 100 horses to ern the right to marry her, and if you did you must also be a brave warrior, with many Coups, horses, and brave deeds. etc. Cowboys were cow herders, they spent long months working on ranches and inbetween towns moving large herds of cows or horses to markets. some fights did occure between indians and cowboys but most of them were scrimishes. suprise attacks. etc. usualy the indians got the better end of the fight, and sometimes the cowboy got the better end of the fight. Most fo your "wild west" battles took place between Indians and United States Army. and them battles were more than mere scrimishes. they were long and bloody. sometimes the Army would suprise attack the indians and whipe out entire villages just because people wanted the land. but then you have some battles that came to a draw, some battles won and lost, some battles not all indians were killed, but imprisoned or forced onto reservations... these fight occured to the dissaperance of the buffalo, treaty breaking, to many encounters with white settlers, and a growing white american population, who wanted the lands the indians lived on. one battle in particular was the bloodiest of all the battles. Little big horn. Gen. Louis Armstrong Custar lead 3 army battlions numbering 400 men, agianst a force of 4000 warriors from two combined indian tribes... Souix and the Cheyanne... the most famous of these warriors, Red Cloud, Sitting Bull, Crazy Horse, Big Foot, and many more lead the warriors. Gen L.A. Custar lost 2 battalions, one battlion lead by Maj. Reno was stuck in a smaller battle 3 miles from Little Big Horn, and was kept from advancing unto the battle, his battlion turned back and went back to their fort, while beign cashed by a band of warriors. Gen. L.A. Custar and his 2 remaining battlions all parised in the battle, they were completely whiped out no surviors. they only known white suvivour of the battle was a man known as Little Big-Man, who as a boy was adopeted and raised by the cheyanne after his wagon train was attacked and whiped out by Pawnee indians, only him and his sister survived.

Pro Se divorce - children BEFORE marriage - what do I need to know?

you HAVE to answer to the papers that were served to you.  if you do not, all odds are against you, because it will appear to the judge that you simply do not care.  this requires filing a response with the county clerk, which usually costs a fee - call and find out how much in your county.  if you have kids and are interested in keeping them, you should really use an attorney - the courthouse sometimes has referrals that will go on a sliding scale based on how much you earn, or maybe they will have a payment plan since you are unemployed.  \n\nat this point, assume everything is not in your favor.  everything depends on your particular situation.  was he abusive?  were you?  who has been the primary caretaker of the children, etc.?  judges are mean - they will laugh in your face sometimes if you appear pro se, but i think it's worth it, especially if you win.  also, is there material involved, i.e., houses, cars, etc.?  who wants what?  i would attempt to talk to him if possible and find out what he really wants, i.e., kids - joint custody, or weekends only; house, etc.?


Well, I'm a Pisces as well. (March 14th)\n\nI did a lil' research & found it to be true...Here ya go:\n\nThese individuals are not only changeable and adaptable, they have open minds and tremendous understanding. But Pisces itself is often misunderstood. Pisces Suns may spend a good portion of their lives yearning for understanding, and the other part in a state of divine discontent. Suffering is sometimes glamorized in the Piscean world. \n\nSun in Pisces people are frequently pegged as wishy-washy, but this is all a matter of opinion. What you will find behind a vaguely directionless, spacey manner is a deep person with real dreams. Their dreams are more than getting that picket fence or making it up the corporate ladder. Pisces are tuned in to a higher purpose and their dreams transcend the individual. A deep love for humanity, and compassion that knows no bounds is found with this placement of the Sun. \n\nPisceans are not known to be cutthroat business types, nor are they given to throwing themselves out into the world in an aggressive manner. But make no mistake about it, Pisces can be extraordinarily successful when given the chance to express themselves. The arts, marketing, music, teaching, drama, healing arts...these are all fields in which Pisces can find expression. Their imagination, attunement to humanity, and remarkable intuition endow them with enviable gifts of insight and creativity.\n\nPisces is a sensitive sign—both sensitive to criticism and sensitive to others' feelings. Easily touched by human suffering, at least in theory, Pisces wouldn't hurt a fly. They believe in people, are deeply hurt by compassionless human behavior, and have a hard time saying no. Harsh realities are avoided either through escapist behavior or self-delusion; but every now and again reality does raise its ugly head, and hits Pisces over the head. This is a sad time indeed. Pisces retreats into their own world, self-pitying and giving pep talks to themselves ("I will never trust again!"). Rest assured, though, that these periods are rather short-lived and even useful. Pisces seems to derive energy from their (generally short) bouts of self-pity. They come back stronger, with a spring in their step, ready to face the world again, and just as, if not more, compassionate and trusting as they were before. Some might even wonder if Pisces finds pleasure in suffering. Sometimes this is the case, but most of the time, Pisces pulls a lot of creative energy from sadness. Pisces is the poet or artist with angst, although this trait is often more apparent with Moon in Pisces.\n\nSome find Pisces' tendency to be late for appointments, spaced out behavior, and absent-mindedness amount to irresponsibility. Pisces would be shocked to know this, however. Who me? Pisces wonders. Irresponsible? Pisces Suns absolutely care—their love knows no bounds—but their retreats from ordinary life (whether they are as simple as daydreams or actual departures) that they so seem to need every now and again are not always understandable to no-nonsense signs, such as Virgo or Aries. \n\nMany Pisces seem almost allergic to things like shopping lists, maps, directions, and instructions, and for some brave souls, even watches — they prefer to feel their way through life than to follow some plan.\n\nWe find plenty of artists, poets, and musicians with Sun (and other personal planets) in Pisces. Piscean themes are woven throughout the songs of Billy Corgan of the Smashing Pumpkins and Kurt Cobain of Nirvana, for example.\n\nLike I said, I'm a Pisces, & this is all true...At least it is for me...We also tend to be a jealous type as well..but I don't believe it mentioned that...

If the universe is infinite, how can it have a beginning?

The known universe based in our present level of technology is not necessarily the whole existing universe or universes.We can have a beginning in our known universe independently of the others. For example, one of the theories explain the present expansion as a huge bubble of matter and waves. But, maybe there are other bubbles. And what if the black holes are the  connections with other parallel universes in other dimensions? And the Big bang is just a transfer of matter from one universe to other? Many scientists are working now in this subject, and the best way to follow the new theories is reading the science journals from time to time.No answer is definitive because the science will continue to discover new facts and develop new theories that are beyond the wildest imagination.


Why do you think GOD let Bin Laden and Bush get away whatever they wanted to do? Who's side is he anyway?

God has given everyone free will, and people can make choices. Most times than not, those choices will affect other people. He made the world to work a certain way, and he doesn't intercede every time someone makes a choice, because he gave you that choice.  And some people choose to hurt others. But we all answer for our actions, in one way or another-ALWAYS.


Mexican performer Luis Miguel is an international star who is loved for both his well-produced albums and his strong live performances. Since 1990, he has been the most popular performer in Latin America. In the United States, he has become the only Latino artist to have two Spanish language albums, Romance and Segundo Romance go platinum. Both are comprised of tender South American romantic songs. In the U.S., Miguel has earned three Grammys. Segundo Romance won him one of them. It also earned Miguel a total of 34 platinum records throughout South and Central America in 1995. Follow-up releases included Musipistas and 1996's Nada Es Igual; in 1998, he co-starred in the film Fiebre de Amor, and also appeared on its soundtrack. Amarte Es un Place followed a year later. Miguel's international stardom was heavily recognized in fall 2000 — he won two Grammys (Male Pop Vocal Performance and Best Pop Album) for Amarte Es un Place at the first annual Latin Grammy Awards. Another accolade came in 2003, when he was nominted in the Favorite Latin Artist category of the American Music Awards. His 2004 album México el la Piel went on to sell 3 million copies worldwide and was followed by two years of touring.

A hand rolled cigar will have a rounded sort of cap at the end, which helps to keep the outer wrapper together. You have to cut it one way or another in order to be able to draw smoke from the cigar. \n\nTo cut it, you can either use a guillotine style cutter, by aligning the opening just above the bottom of the cap and cutting it swiftly and evenly---or you can use what is called a plug or bullet style cutter. This works like a cookie cutter and bores a hole directly into the end of the cigar.

Tightly grasping a tennis ball is a great way to build strength in your hands. Another way used -- especially by my high school basketball coach -- is to do fingertip pushups. Holding yourself in the pushup position perched on your fingertips. Both of these are great exercises for building strength in your hands (increasing the strength of your grip).

depends if you think trading your liberty for a possible gain in your security is a good idea.\n\nalso depends if you think that a country that says it is 'free' should allow that to happen behind its back and if you think a country that says its 'free' has its own definition of what that means.\n\nany response that would suggest 'do you want people who could bomb us to be able to bomb us?' as a reason that its ok, is exactly the person that is saying 'its ok to take away my liberty which many many many people fought for so that i don't have to be afraid.'\n\nthe people that fought did not fight so that you could be 'safe', that is a very self-centric point of view. they fought and died for 'liberty'. if you think trading it in for a piece of safety is a good idea, then you have no respect for *what* the people fought for and probably don't have a good understanding of the problems this 'free' country faces.\n\ni hope there is a scandal.

is it against the law for my landlord to call my water bill company and get a copy of it without consulting me

Unless your landlord is paying for your water himself, there is NO WAY he can tell you how much water you should be using. Think about it, would you ask him what cable you should get, or how high you should turn on your heat/air conditioning? If he is refusing to fix something that is his responsibility, sue him. If he requested a copy of a bill that is in YOUR NAME, sue him as well, that's invasion of privacy (unless his name is also on the bill).

How do I get help/technical support with ATLAS?

Your first resource for should always be the ATLAS errata file. This file keeps track of all discovered errors in ATLAS, and their workarounds or fixes. It also contains workarounds for common system problems (eg., compiler errors, non-standard commands, etc), as well containing advice necessary to get the best performance on various machines.\nIf you have downloaded the ATLAS source, your ATLAS/doc directory contains some useful documentation, though it is often more dated than the info in the errata and online.\n\nIf (and only if) neither of these sources provides the information you need, you can can submit a support request to: \n\nthe ATLAS support tracker. \nDo not, under any circumstances, post your support request to the "bug" tracker. As documented on the tracker itself, this is for developer confirmed bugs only. All users should use the support or feature request trackers. Things that turn out to be bugs will later be escalated to the bug tracker by the confirming developer.\nIn addition, please understand that the tone of your support request is important, as described here.\n\nYou do not need to create SourceForge account in order to use the tracker (that persistant plea to "please log in" can be ignored), though it makes things easier if you do. In particular, if you don't log in, you won't be able to later attach extra files, etc (you can attach a file in your initial report, but afterwords, it is unsure you are the original poster, so it won't allow it). So, if you think you may need to do this kind of thing relatively often, it may be worth doing.\n\nNote that you should upload the error_[ARCH].tgz file as well. If the error killed the ATLAS install before it succesfully created the error tarfile, create it yourself by issuing the following command from your ATLAS/ subdirectory: \n\n   make error_report arch=[ARCH]\n\nNote that the [ARCH] of the above directions should be replaced by your architecture string that ATLAS is using (eg., Linux_P4SSE1 or SunOS_SunUS4, etc).

How do they calculate oceanic tides in different places?

Oceanic tides are caused by the gravitational attraction of the moon which raises up the ocean water beneath the moon causing a high tide.  On the opposite side of the earth there is another high tide bulge caused in part by the spin of the earth.  On the coast we observe two high and two low tides each day.  As the earth spins the tidal bulge approaches a coast.  The shape of the coast affects the height of the tide.  At the Bay of Fundy in eastern Canada, the tide can equal about 45 feet at times because the tide is pulled into a converging channel that amplifies the tide.  On other coasts, for example Caribbean islands, there is very little tide.  Because the gravitational force of the sun also produces a lesser tide than the moon, the sun and moon work together or against each other in a complex way to vary the height of tides as the earth rotates about the sun in a less than perfect circle and the moon rotates about the earth and the earth spins on its axis.  The angle of the earth's axis relative to the sun changes with the seasons also affecting heights of tides below the sun. \n\nTherefore at selected coastal stations, the tides are measured over long periods ot time in special hollow tubes  with measuring scales (that are not affected by waves) and statistics are collected to predict future tides relative to the positions of the sun and moon.  These data can be extrapolated or interpolated to prepare tide tables for nearby coastal areas that do not have their own measuring tubes.


Are those energy saving devices that supposedly lower your electric bills real?

Many of the items and services offered do result in lower operating costs, such as insulation, thermal pane windows, caulking, weatherstriping. There are fuel savings from modifications to your automobile and driving habits.\nSome items are not true energy savers, such as expensive flourecent light bulbs that replace the incandesant bulbs in regular lamps. They will reduce your electric bill. However, if you compare the price of the bulbs and the life of the bulbs, you will find the financial savings to be about a wash. On a more global scale the energy to produce these bulbs and the raw material is significantly higher.


it depends what day it is, sometimes ten equal one, sometimes 9.99 equal one, it just depends. if its a good day or a bad day.

Which is better? Rose Bowl or Super Bowl?

Well, the super bowl is better because in college football the bowls change for the national chamionship and that means the rose bowl,(this year the rose bowl is the championship), wont always be the best bowl to go to.

How many lightyears wide is the universe?

"There is disagreement over whether the Universe is finite or infinite in spatial extent and volume.\n\n"However, the observable Universe, consisting of all locations that could have affected us since the Big Bang given the finite speed of light, is certainly finite. The edge of the cosmic light horizon is 13.7 billion light years (4.19 gpc) distant. The present distance (comoving distance) to the edge of the observable Universe is larger, since the Universe has been expanding; it is estimated to be about 78 billion light years (7.8 × 1010 light years, or 7.4 × 1023 km). This would make the comoving volume, of the known Universe, equal to 1.9 × 1033 cubic light years (assuming this region is perfectly spherical). The observable Universe contains about 7 × 1022 stars, organized in about 100 billion galaxies, which themselves form clusters and superclusters. The number of galaxies may be even larger, based on the Hubble Deep Field observed with the Hubble Space Telescope. The Hubble Space Telescope discovered galaxies such as Abell 1835 IR1916, which are over 13 billion light years from Earth.\n\n"Both popular and professional research articles in cosmology often use the term "Universe" when they really mean "observable Universe". This is because unobservable physical phenomena are scientifically irrelevant; that is, they cannot affect any events that we can perceive. See also Causality (physics).\n\nWe live in the centre of the Universe that we observe, in apparent contradiction to the Copernican principle which says that the Universe is more or less uniform and it has no distinguished centre. This is simply because light does not travel infinitely fast, and we make observations of the past. As we look further and further away, we see things from epochs (times) closer and closer to the limit of time, which equals zero, according to the Big bang model. Since light travels at the same speed in any direction towards us, it is reasonable to suggest that we live at the center of our observable Universe."

what's a cool, under $35 gift for a married, male supervisor 33 years old, likes music and electronic gadgets

A gift card to Comp USA or Best Buy. If he has a Palm Pilot or something similar, get him a new case for it. If he has a cell phone that doesn't seem to have a case, try that...or a handsfree device. If it were me & I was stumped, I'd pop over to CompUSA & tell a salesperson his stats & let them show you a few things...they're VERY good about that sort of thing.\n\nGood luck!

What would you rather do? loose music forever, or movies forever?

Movies forever.  If there were no music, then movies wouldn't have anything to keep them going.  Plus when I work out I need to have music, I can't watch TV/movie becuase that takes too much concentration.  The music just gets me pumped up.  Plus I think music is much more diverse than movies and its easier to get your point across in a short period of time.


Would this be the right category for questions about land surveying? Are there any other land surveyors here?

As a Mechanical Engineering student in the 60's I had to take several Civil Engineering courses including land surveying.  You may be able to have your land surveying questions answered in this engineering forum.  Good luck.  Incidentaly, engineering was originally divided into Civil Engineering and Military Engineering for obvious reasons of application.  As science advanced, specialties were added such as mechanical, electrical, chemical and aeronautic engineering.  There are still Civil Engineers who specialize in large structures and earth moving and Military Engineer such as West Point graduates.  Surveying is still a part of Civil Engineering.
