Why the word "QUARTZ" is written on every watch dial?

Quartz is a crystal mineral (like a diamond, but not as expensive). It has a specific property useful for keeping time. When exposed to electricity, it vibrates at a precise frequency. Those vibrations can be counted by electronic parts to count the number of seconds.\n\nQuartz is usually only used by digital watches.\n\nMechanical watches, like Rolex, use springs and gears to count the seconds (that's where the ticking sound comes from), but they are time-consuming and expensive to produce.\n\nQuartz watches can be made for a few dollars.


coz everyone thinks their religion is right and nobody else`s  is. Im a Hindu and i just experienced it today. I said "oh my God" and a Catholic classmate of mine said dont say "God" if u dont believe in Him. i was really mad, and i started saying how Hindus believe in God, and saying I blieve in Jesus's existence. It wasnt enough for them that i said i he "existed" they wanted the perfect tenses and all. I dont get why ppl think Hindus r pagans.  ppl just cant be tolerant,. i really hate it, and what's worse is that noone knows whats right except God, and everyone has a diff.intrepetation. we should be more tolerant though.  but i dont want to be a hypocrite.

On a Mac, in the print options you can resize the width of a page to fit a particular paper.  This option is native to OSX so it works for all applications and all printers.  Perhaps there is also such function on Windows?


CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets.  \n\nCSS is like a skin for your website.  With it the content is the same but the style can change.\n\nThere are to places to start your CSS learning and gain advance CSS skills.\n\nW3CSchools.com, http://www.w3schools.com/css/default.asp , is the best own-paced learning site to pick up the baiscs of CSS, XML, HTL and so on.\n\nThen for more CSS, CSSZenGarden, http://www.csszengarden.com .\n\nIn your html you can give tags with ids and or class(or name depending on the browser), Home. \n\nIn your CSS the tags and their ids and class can be configured to apply different styles like fonts, colors, positioning.\n\nIn IE, for example\n\na:link\n{\n    color: white;\n    background-color: black;\n}\n\nThis tells the web browser that every url or a tag is to be displayed as white text on a black background.  At the tag level you use a colon(:) to apply a style to a feature of that tag.  The  tag has a link, hoover and visited feature.  When the  tag is displayed you can have it display one way, when a user mouses over or hoover you can have it display a completely different way and when a user has visited a link on that page already, you can have the visited link display in a different way as well.\n\n#mainurl{ color: red; } will make every tag with the id equal to mainurl have a red colored text displayed.\n\n.homepage{ align: center;} will make every tag with the class equal to homepage align center.\n\nYou have tables and rows that can all have their own style or use the same id or class to have them have the same style.\n\nIf you had a group of rows, but you want to alternate the color but not the text fonts, what you would do is have them share a id and apply the fonts they'll all have in common and use different class names for the rows you want to be different colors, use the same class name for the ones you want to be the same color.\n\nFor three rows with alternating colors black on white, then white on black:\n\nrow1 id="row" class="alt1"\nrow2 id="row" class="alt2\nrow3 id="row" class="alt1"\n\n#row{  font: 70%/1.5em Verdana, sans-serif; }\n.alt1{ background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; }\n.alt2{ background-color: #000000; color: #ffffff; }\n\nZenGarden has some fancy graphics designer there so you could get all kinds of ideas on looking pretty from their links at the website.

HOW MUCH IS THE COST OF STUDY IN A university IN INDIA? WITH THE COST OF LIVING THER?

I belong to India and did all my education from Indian Universities including my Masters degrees in Biosciences like Microbiology and Biotechnology. It depends on the type of coursework you choose to do there. Engineering and Medical programs are definitely expensive but other degrees are affordable at low costs. Quite few excellent institutions and universities are there including the Indian Institute of Technology(IIT), Indian Institute of Science(IISc) in Bangalore, University of Hyderabad, University Department of Chemical Technology in Mumbai, Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR) in Mumbai, Jadavpur University in Kolkata etc.  Also, the cost of living is comparatively cheaper in smaller cities but quite high in metropolitan cities like mumbai, delhi and bangalore but still affordable.

Discuss the concepts of validity and enforceability of a contract?

First, I am NOT a lawyer....However, in my career I have dealt with creating and becoming party to contracts on several occasions.  Here are some of the things I have learned:\n\n1.) Contracts CONCEPTUALLY should be a two way benefit for both/all parties involved. A contract HIGHLY 'loaded' for benefit of one party is probably illegal, and would be hard to defend in court.\n\n2.) It is assumed, although not always clearly stated, that the contract is entered into willingly and with good intent for all signors. If there is reason to believe one or the other parties was 'co-erced' or ' manipulated' into signing the document, the contract probably will not stand up in court.\n\n3.) ANY contract is only as valid and strong as the skills and dedication of your lawyer...\n\nHope this helps....

Does anyone no a good pro-bono lawyer I have a rock solid case?

For a civil case you need a lawyer that will work on "Contingency", meaning that he'll keep a portion of the judgement if you prevail, not a "Pro Bono" attorney... and you do need to care where they are because a lawyer may only practice in those states in which he or she is liscenced....look in the phone book for lawyers specialising in housing discrimination or landlord-tenant disputes...good luck.


what crime must be commited to get death sentences ( for research project)?

It varies by state and jurisdiction, but in the US, there are two common capital crimes - murder and treason.\n\nSome others (which carry a death penalty in certain states) are aggravated kidnapping, perjury which leads to a person's death, aggravated rape of victim under age 12, large scale drug trafficking, or aircraft hijacking.\n\nThere's plenty more about capital punishment in the wikipedia article linked below, including the same kind of information for other countries. Good luck on your project!


If u could there was away to make u forget something would u try it?

NO! There are a lot of things that people think they want to forget but these are part of who you are. They will help mold your future, help you figure out how you want to raise your children and just live your life. I myself went through 3 separate kinds of abuse when I was growing up but it helped make me who I am. And my sons will change things in thier lives that I goofed up on too. Nobody's perfect!\nI guess if you've seen something that gives you nightmares then I would understand wanting to forget but maybe there's a place for that fear to shape your life also.

(1871-1958) of Bridgeport, Connecticut, made pies that were sold to many New England colleges. Hungry college students soon discovered that the empty pie tins could be tossed and caught, providing endless hours of game and sport. Many colleges have claimed to be the home of 'he who was first to fling.' Yale College has even argued that in 1820, a Yale undergraduate named Elihu Frisbie grabbed a passing collection tray from the chapel and flung it out into the campus, thereby becoming the true inventor of the Frisbie and winning glory for Yale. That tale is unlikely to be true since the words 'Frisbie's Pies' was embossed in all the original pie tins and from the word 'Frisbie' was coined the common name for the toy.\n\nIn 1948, a Los Angeles building inspector named Walter Frederick Morrison and his partner Warren Franscioni invented a plastic version of the Frisbie that could fly further and with better accuracy than a tin pie plate.

How do you pierce your lip by yourself? and does it hurt?

I wouldn't suggest it, I had a friend do it and it got so infected and her lip swelled so badly she looked deformed, she had to go to the doctor and get on a bunch of antibiotics and was off work for a week, it was awful and yes, it hurt her like crazy. Please have a professional do it, it really isn't that expensive and your health is more important than saving a few bucks, in the end my friend spend more on doctor care than she would have if she had her lip pierced by a professional.

How does Cherrios & oatmeal remove/lower a person's cholesterol?

Oatmeal, a rich source of dietary fiber, has been discovered to lower cholesterol levels in over 40 separate research studies. It is thought that the oat fibers mix with cholesterol in the small intestine and carry the cholesterol out of the body instead of it being absorbed into the blood. The Food and Drug Administration is also convinced---oatmeal was the first food to carry the distinction on its label to lower cholesterol levels.

Could my christian daughter merry with her jew friend ?

As a person married to a spouse of a very different religion, I can say that anyone who offers an "easy answer" has probably not been in that position.  Make no mistake, it can be difficult.  That said, this is decision time for your daughter and prospective son-in-law.  \n\nIf they are ready to be with each other, they are going to have to get used to navigating religious and cultural differences.  And this is an opportunity to decide whether they wish to cleave to each other or to their respective families of origin, to the extent there is some conflict between those two loyalties.  If they cannot prioritize being together over parental approval, the marriage is better off not starting, for its future is not good.  On the other hand, if they establish that their love for each other is something they wish to put at the center of their lives, learning that now can create a valuable opportunity to build a foundation for a future marriage.\n\nI would encourage them to:\n(1)  Engage his family's rabbi (or another rabbi, if his family's rabbi refuses to participate) in the dialogue;\n(2)  Talk about mixed-religion marriages with others in similar marriages, particularly Christian-Jewish pairings;\n(3)  Pray to their shared God/G-d in their two very different ways for guidance and help for their relationship.\n\nBtw, even in Orthodox Judaism conversion for purposes of marriage, and marriage to converts, is acceptable.  Try the Book of Ruth.  Possibly this is actually about cultural, rather than religious differences.\n\nImho, despite the challenges of interfaith marriages, they may play a very important role in moving our world from the present mutual hostility of all the world's faiths towards greater mutual understanding and peace.  And that is certainly a noble pursuit.\n\nMy blessings and my wishes for good luck to them and to both your families, which may yet become one family.

how to lose weight without excercise and no dieting ?

try taboo\nWHAT to eat for losing weight\n\n• Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, especially NC (negative calorie) food.\n\n* Print these lists. They will be your ... "Bible", from now on !\n* Dill and parsely - include them in all your salads. Also ognion + garlic.\n* Try eat mostly fresh vegs & fruits (whenever possible, of course)\n* If you really want a book, then check this out: The Negative Calorie Diet Workbook & Cookbook - eBook (Win95/98 only). Read more about this e-book here.\n\n\n• Eat fish, chicken, beef, pork. (preferences are in this order)\n\n* If you are a vegetarian, then ignore this!\n* Avoid fat meat\n\n\n• Eat 2-3 slices of bread/day. Don't EVER exclude bread from your diet!\n\n• Snacks between meals (if needed): apples, oranges, grepfruits and other NC fruits\n\n* Don't cheat ... NO cookies, chips, candies, brownies etc! \n* EVEN if they have "low fat" indication... They might have low fat, yet they can have lots of CALORIES !!!\n\n\n• About rice, potatoes, beans, [xxx]nuts, pastry, pasta... you know!\n\n* Don't eat too much of those, at least during the first weeks of the diet. I'm not a low carb addict, but I've noticed weight gains if consuming those in large quantities, especially when associated with other foods.\n* If you like them a lot, try and eat them like one meal. A nice delicious plate of spaghetti could be your lunch (never dinner!), followed by a nice big apple. These rich starch foods are not good for dinner!\n* At dinner time, chose mainly large mixed veggies salads... with fish, lean meat or cheese (if you are not a vegetarian). \n\nif u want to lose weight the best food to it are baked potatoes with nothing on it. no salt no nothing just plain. u can eat a 10000000000 baked potatoes till ur stuff and not gain a pound. i heard that from a weight loss tape. the best drink is water or gatorade. thats a start then when you work out do some taeboo. if u want a macine. run with dumbells on a treadmill. u could do the rocky workout. but thats a new story. u could use a butterfly macine i think it works the abs\n\n1) It is not just the amount you eat, but what you eat. Lean meats and vegtables that snap are a good place to start. And by snap I mean fresh and not boiled or doused with better or whatever.\n\n2) Exercise moderatly but for about an hour every other day. Spend half of that walking or running at a good enough pace for you to feel labored. The other half of the time use weights, or exercises such as push ups or situps to get a muscle "burn". A gym is also an option, but I don't know if you have the money for or want to spend the money on it.\n\n3) Sleep well. To bed earlier and up earlier. Exercise in the morning when you wake up, not in the evening before bed. 7 hours of GOOD sleep is a must.\n\n4) Occupy yourself with a hobby that keeps your attention for a long period of time. A hobby like this keeps your mind focused and gives less of a chance for snacking from boredom.\n\nThat is a good place to start... if you see good results, keep it up and modify to fit you... if it does not, see a doctor AND a trainer \n\nKeep working out, drink water a lot, eat 5 to 6 meals a day but in small quantities, vegtables are important specially cucumber and lattice, fruits not be eaten after meals except by 2 to 3 hours, minimize the starch quantities in your meals lots of salad is important, your last meal must be before you sleep by 2 to 3 hours\nthe most important thing is you don't lose patient wait and have a strong will to be as what you want\n\nyou might have some more ideas from www.ivillage.com\n\ngood luck

Mozambique was a Portugal colony.Why is it in the Commonwealth Games?

Mozambique joined the Commonwealth in 1995. One of the reasons being that at the time it was surrounded by Commonwealth members (this is no longer true as Zimbabwe isn't in the Commonealth anymore) and much or its tradea nd business was done with members of the commonwealth. Also the Commonwealth provides assistance in many areas, which mozmabique has been able to take advangtage of. It is an interesting anomoly though but there must be something in it as Cameroon and Namibia have also joined the commonwealth and were never British colonies (in the full sense).

How to improve cognitive reading strategies used by Hispanic?

9 times out of 10, no they do not help because the people making them are not specialists in ESL, but are usually from the field of Education. I don't want to give the impression that ESL has all the answers, but it is plain to see that the field of Education is totally lost. Last I heard, they still study BF Skinner and Behaviorism that have been proven repeatedly to be useless and even detrimental in education.


How do I get my brother to move out of my house?

Give him written notice that his rental agreement is being terminated.  You'll have to give him at leat 30 days to move out.  He's a parent so there's no excuse for him to not take care of his own family.  If he wants to accuse you of abuse it'll most likely be dismissed but if there's any suspicion the agency will require him to get the child out of the household, so that'd be a bad move on his part.\n\nGood luck.  I say just set a date that he has to be gone by, and don't back down.


This is hard to answer without knowing what state you are in......but I can give you a few general answers.  1st....the protective order stands wether or not your wife choses to enforce it.  2nd, they'll have a difficult time proving this crime without your wife's support.  3rd.....if you've been arrested 3 times prior for the same thing, you either need to get out of the relationship, or seek counseling.  It's fairly safe to say you have a problem.

What is bilateral PFS, and is it debilitating?

Managing patellofemoral pain syndrome is a challenge, in part because of lack of consensus regarding its cause and treatment. Contributing factors include overuse and overload of the patellofemoral joint, biomechanical problems and muscular dysfunction. The initial treatment plan should include quadriceps strengthening and temporary activity modification. Additional exercises may be incorporated as dictated by the findings of the physical examination. Footwear should be closely evaluated for quality and fit, and the use of arch supports should be consideredBecause bending the knee increases the pressure between the patella and its various points of contact with the femur, patellofemoral pain syndrome is often classified as an overuse injury.4-8 However, a more appropriate term may be "overload," because the syndrome can also affect inactive patients. Repeated weight-bearing impact may be a contributing factor, particularly in runners.3 Steps, hills and uneven surfaces tend to exacerbate patellofemoral pain. Once the syndrome has developed, even prolonged sitting can be painful ("movie-goer's sign") because of the extra pressure between the patella and the femur during knee flexion.\nDedicated patients can often manage physical therapy on their own, with 20 minutes per day being a reasonable expectation. Guidance from a physical therapist can be helpful, but patients need to adhere to the therapist's recommended home program and should not expect overnight success. Patients may not experience improvement of symptoms for six weeks or much longer, and the syndrome may recurIce is the safest anti-inflammatory "medication," but its successful use requires discipline. Applying ice for 10 to 20 minutes after activity is reasonable. A common complaint is the inconvenience of holding an ice bag on the knee, but a simple elastic wrap solves this problem. A frozen gel pack, crushed ice in a plastic bag or a bag of frozen vegetables also work well.\n\nPatients with patellofemoral pain syndrome have not been conclusively shown to benefit from anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Although the same statement can be made about many treatments for patellofemoral pain, the drawback of NSAIDs is that their potential side effects may be more significant than any adverse effects of ice application or rehabilitative exercises. However, considering the convenience of NSAID therapy, a judicious trial may be worthwhile.\n\nSurgery for patellofemoral pain syndrome is considered a last resort. True chondromalacia (fraying of the retropatellar cartilage) may be amenable to an arthroscopic surgical procedure to smooth out the undersurface of the patella.35 Unfortunately, the chondromalacia may return.\nBefore the decision is made to perform a lateral release, other options and treatments should be considered. For example, the physician should consider whether the lateral tracking could simply be due to a tight iliotibial band or weak quadriceps muscles. Taping the knee to enhance medial glide should be tried. Having the patient wear a quality running shoe or arch support is another measure to try before surgery is contemplated. Although the lateral release is effective in a select group of patients, it is often considered an overused procedure, even among some orthopedic surgeonsAn initial conservative approach to patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome should include the following measures: (1) relative rest with consideration of a temporary change to nonimpact aerobic activity; (2) quadriceps strengthening; (3) evaluation of footwear; and (4) icing, especially after activity.\n\nDefinitive treatment should be individualized. The addition of hip strengthening and stretching or stretching of the iliotibial band, hamstrings and calves should be based on a physical examination.

how do i write an international address in its correct format?

depends to which counry - there is no internaional convention as such. As long as you place the name of the country as the last line in your address it should be ok.\n\nIn the UK you should write the addresse as follows\n1. The house name or numeber, Street name\n   23 European street\n2. then the Town name, County\n   Derby, Derbyshire\n3. Postal Code\n    DE1 6XY\n4. country name \n    UK\n\n\nIn Germany for eg.\n\nagain house name or number, followed by street name\nbelow that Postal code Name of Town\nthen Germany or Deutschland\n\nhope that gives you an idea.\n\nMaybe you could search the internet for the country you are seeking to address too


Who is eligible to marry people? And how can I become one? [ie. not a priest though]?

It is best to have someone from a church do it because of it being a Holy Trinity between man and women. What God has join together let no one putth under.


When you do find the girl of your dreams, you are going to spend a LOT of time having sex.  Experiment as often as you like together.  There is no rule as to what you are suposed to do.  Whether you pull it back or not on insertion makes no difference as you penetrate it'll be pulled back as you penetrate her, that's something you don't have control over.  Don't worry about the head being sensitive, the vagina is VERY soft and smooth inside.


what if a man's penis gets croocked or is not straight?

This is a serious condition where the internal tissue of the penis turns to scar tissue. This disease was first documented by a French physician named Francois de la Peyronie, whom had discovered that scar tissue in the penis could result in significant bending of the penis.\nBecause this scar tissue is hard and inflexible, it causes the penis to bend when erect. A plaque on the top of the shaft (most common) causes the penis to bend upward; a plaque on the underside causes it to bend downward. In some cases, the plaque develops on both top and bottom, leading to indentation and shortening of the penis. Although this curvature can sometimes by quite painful, the plaque itself is non-cancerous. \nIt is also possible that the penis may be hard at the base, but soft at the top or skinny in the middle like an invisible band has been fastened around it.\nUnlike hypospadias, which is an accident at birth, Peyroie’s disease is acquired during adult life. It can occur fast, without any apparent reason; a man may wake up one morning with his erection bent over. It affects about 1 % of men. Most reported cases have been white males in the 40-60 age range. \nThe course of Peyronie's bent and croaked disease is different in each patient and some patients experience improvement without a cure treatment, medical experts suggest waiting 1 to 2 years or longer before attempting to correct it surgically. During that wait, patients often are willing to undergo treatments whose effectiveness has not been proven. \nSome researchers have given men with Peyronie's disease vitamin E orally in small-scale studies and have reported improvements. Yet, no controlled studies have established the cure effectiveness of vitamin E therapy. Similar inconclusive success has been attributed to oral application of para-aminobenzoate, a substance belonging to the family of B-complex molecules. \nResearchers have injected chemical agents such as verapamil, collagenase, steroids, and calcium channel blockers directly into the plaques. These cure interventions are still considered unproven because studies have included low numbers of patients and have lacked adequate control groups. Steroids, such as cortisone, have produced unwanted side effects, such as the atrophy or death of healthy tissues. Another intervention involves iontophoresis, the use of a painless current of electricity to deliver verapamil or some other agent under the skin to the plaque. \nRadiation therapy, in which high-energy rays are aimed at the plaque, has also been used. Like some of the chemical treatments, radiation appears to reduce pain, but it has no effect at all on the plaque itself and can cause unwelcome side effects. Although the variety of agents and methods used points to the lack of a proven cure treatment, new insights into the wound healing process may yield more effective therapies in the near future. \nPeyronie's bending disease has been treated with some success by surgery. The two most common surgical methods are removal or expansion of the plaque followed by placement of a patch of skin or artificial material, and removal or pinching of tissue from the side of the penis shaft opposite the plaque, which cancels out the bending effect. The first method can involve partial loss of erectile function, especially rigidity. The second method, known as the Nesbit procedure, causes a shortening of the erect penis.\nSome men choose to receive an implanted device that increases rigidity of the penis. In some cases, an implant alone will straighten the penis adequately. In other cases, implantation is combined with a technique of incisions and grafting or plication (pinching or folding the skin) if the implant alone does not straighten the penis.\nMost types of surgery produce positive results. But because complications can occur, and because many of the phenomena associated with Peyronie's disease (for example, shortening of the penis) are not corrected by surgery, m

who might be a surprising team in the 2006 nfl season?

Yeah, but Minnesota revamped last year, too. The NFC North will be the same, miserable to watch.  Favre and a healthy packers should do well.  The Bears will still have an awesome defense, but horrible offense.  The LIons have to get rid of Millen first.\n\nMiami could be a team to watch out for, Daunte is back in his old offensive system and plus Miami was one of the best teams down the stretch last year going undefeated in December and beating some pretty good teams.\n\nThe entire NFC East is a toss up, Wash could be good again, Phi could bounce back and should under Andy Reid, Dal and T.O. could light it up , but NYG should only meet last year's over performance.\n\nSEA should be a Super Bowl contender again and Arizone should be a lot better with another year of Denny Green at the helm.\n\nCarolina will be good, Tampa might falter, and Atlanta will have to work hard to fight off their losing ways.\n\nIn the AFC West, K.C. and S.D. are done for a couple of years, but Oakland should be good with Art Shell, Aaron Brooks, Randy Moss, and LaMont Jordan, but the D needs to step it up.\n\nJets are done.  Never count out the Patriots as long as they have Brady and Bellicheck.\n\nPIT will defende their title respectably, and Cincinnatti will be back to the Bengals of old if Carson doesn't return healthy.  That injury takes so long to heal and was so late in the season that he most likely wouldn't even be ready for game action until the middle of the season and then it would take time for him to get into the swing of things.  \n\nAnd last, but not least, the AFC South.... Jax will overperform again, but DelRio is an idiot. TEN will be better and are looking towards the future with the #3 pick which may be a Lienart and Chow reunion.  Indianapolis will be a good team like always, but Manning just doesn't have what it takes to win the big game.  He choked in the game against Pit and then choked afterward in the press conference.  After playing with a broken jaw like he did I don't question his heart, but something just happens to the guy, he is flusterable.

my childs father has taken her but he has no proof she is his the police won't help what should i do?

Knowing how and why the child's father took her might be helpful.  Was it with your permission, or did he basically kidnap her from school one day?\n\nI don't get your analogy about John murdering Jane.  In your situation, you are the ONLY person who knows who this child's father it, and you've told the police it's him.  Why would you think they would doubt you, and treat this any differently?  \n\nI don't understand the question about discrimination because you haven't mentioned anything that would qualify in my mind as discriminatory.\n\nHaving said all that, let's talk about what you might be able to do:\n\n1.  Does your state have laws regarding child concealment?  California has several laws on the subject and if there are any similar laws where you are, they might be useful.\n\n2.  Going to family court is an excellent suggestion that I think was made by someone else.  An excellent idea. \n\n3.  Post some more details.  I'd be interested to know if there is any kind of general assistance involved here (what people used to call "welfare").  Is the father alleging some kind of bad parenting on your part?  Are you alleging any on his part?  Do you know where the child actually is?\n\nBut really...unless there is some kind of urgency you didn't talk about here, family law court is probably the best avenue you have at this point.


Are there any Laws about citizens which allow them continued below.?

When I was young, the traffic patrol volunteers were organized by the American Automobile Association.  That's a private, non-profit club, if you will, of people banded together for their mutual best interests with regard to the automobile as a mode of transportation.  It would not surprise me to learn that this excellent idea has been picked up in Pakistan, as safety experts have their international meetings, too.  Look around that area of the Internet, and I think you will find what you're looking for.  If not, you may have to organize it!


What is the role of a chaperone protein in terms of the conformation of a protein?

Chaperone proteins help newly made protein to fold into the appropriate secondary and tertiary structures (since primary structure is already created during translation, well there are some post tranlational modifications). It also prevents the protein from escaping into the cytoplasm, and prevents it from be degraded.


what are the qualities to consider when selecting a prime minister?

I don't live in a country that has a pariamentary system of government, but my understanding is that you can't select a prime minister - you vote for a party (or a slate of candidates from a party) and the party picks the prime minister.

Should documentary film makers report the crimes they witness?

The "film-maker" must not incite or assist the person commit the crime.  If so, depending on the situation, he can be charged with assessory or conspiracy.  If he does not assist or incite someone, then he has NO obligation to report a crime.  Most jurisdictions do not require a person to report a crime, unless he is part of the organization and wants to refute from committing that crime or being charge as a conspirator.  Therefore, film makers do not have to report unless, as I said, incite or assist someone to ocmmit the crime.  That was why the 3 dummies who filmed drunks fighting and beating each others were charged with criminal conspiracy.

OK, is a wild pitch an error on the pitcher or a past ball an error on the catcher?

No, they are what they are. A runner advances on a passed ball when the off. scorer determines the catcher should have handled a pitched ball. A wild pitch (usually in the dirt or quite wide of the catcher) is not one the catcher could not reasonably control.\nNo error - the scoring is wild pitch or passed ball.\nYou score them as WP or PB - not E1 or E2

what kind of problems might exist in predicting the greeenhouse effect by computer?

There are two basic kinds of models: empirical and theoretical/phenomenological.  Both involve statistics but in different ways.\n\nAn empirical model fits some kind of smooth curve to data and is often used to interpolate behavoir at data points that have not been measured directly.  For example, you could estimate what the temperature was at 3 pm if you measured it at noon and 6 pm with some kind of average.  You get a better estimate if your data are closer together.  This curve could also be used to extrapolate (guess the temperature before noon or after 6pm) but this is much less likely to be correct.  A very common type of this is simple linear interpolation or extrapolation.\n\nOne of the main uses of an empirical model is to find out which variables in a problem have an effect on the measured output.  For example, we have noticed that the average temperature of the atmosphere has gone up.  We make a hypothesis that certain environmental variables are the cause (like CO2 concentration for example) and we fit a model.  A big drawback is that the correlation is not necessarily causation because it is hard to decouple inputs from outputs for some systems, like earth.  Perhaps the CO2 concentration is going up because the temperature is rising?  Also, if other important variables are not included in the empirical model fitting, a larger portion of the effect will be associated with some variables.\n\nThe other main kind of model is the theoretical model.  In a theoretical model we apply equations/relationships that we have found explain phenomena in experiments to our problem.  For example, a theoretical climate model is a large mass and energy transport problem.  Radiation from the sun imparts energy to the earth and atmosphere, the amount absorbed/re-emitted into space depends on lots of factors like concentration of greenhouse gases, the flora on the surface, and more!  You have to track sources and sinks of important species as they move around.\n\nMost of the time a theoretical model involves fitted parameters in a similar fashion to the empirical model.  The parameters are fitted using experiments on a smaller scale than the main project.  A theoretical model is generally better than an empirical model at extrapolation because the "correct" type of behavior is modeled rather than just a fit.  However, a theoretical model always involves approximations that affect their usefulness.  A model should be simple enough so that you can actually solve it an make predictions, but it must be mathematically sophisticated enough to describe the phenomena you are modeling.\n\nCurrently, computer power to solve all the coupled differential equations of mass, momentum, and energy transport of our atmosphere on a fine scale does not exist.\n\nEmpirical models used to extrapolate 100 years down the road are a guess at best.\n\nI don't know what physics are in current climate models and I don't know to what extent the models are empirical.  But I do doubt that current atmospheric models for the global temperture in the next 100 years can be trusted.  Modeling complicated things like the atmosphere is beyond our computational capability (and we don't even have all the theoretical understanding), and empirical models aren't reliable for extrapolation.

In a regular polygon, diagonals are always the same length as each side of the figure? True or False?

False, a square is a regular polygon.  Say each side is 4 units long.  Use the pythagorean theorem to solve for the diagonal.  So 4^2+4^2=x^2, or the square root of 32 which is between 5 and 6.  The diagonal would have to be about 5.7 (mental math) which is not 4.


How do you get rid of hiccups and is there any way to stop yourself farting??

What Causes the Hiccups?\nHiccups are usually a reaction to your stomach and digestive system getting wonky. This happens when you eat too much, drink bubbly drinks like soda or swallow too much air. Some people get the hiccups for no reason at all. Other things that cause hiccups include skull fracture, epilepsy, tuberculosis and believe it or not, constipation (not being able to poop). \n\nCommon Cures for the Hiccups\nUnlike sneezing, farting, burping, etc., hiccups don't serve any purpose. Hiccups are just annoying and pointless. How do you get rid of hiccups? Which remedy works best? Home remedies are usually based on the idea that you have to disrupt the hiccup cycle. Remedies include holding your breath, breathing into a bag, pulling your tongue, sudden fright, or - get this - eating sugar. Just drinking water, if done soon enough, might wash down a chunk of food in the throat that's pressing against a nerve.


Why is Honor killing an important part of many Isalmic Cultures?

If they get punished in this lifetime for the sin they have done, they won't experience the horror of having the same unishment over and over again in the afterlife. \nIt's mush like the Christian's idea of being saved. To be killed for your sins is seen as an honor (or well more of an honor than not dying for your sins, or never admitting them), because you are taking the punishment that the Qu'ran has delt you. It's not handed out lightly and to just anyone. In most cases the people who are honor killed are ones who had come forward with the truth knowing full well of the consequences. Their (and I'm talking specifically about Saudi Arabia) legal system is outlined on the Qu'ran's moral teachings and laws, so they need a certian amount of reliable eye-witnesses (something like 8) to the sin/crime before they convict anyone. Their rate of crime is actually very much lower than ours here in the US, because of the punishments, but more because all of them are followers of the same religion- Islam, and all know the rules, and everyone is able to trust everyone else.

what are the different colors of lightning and what does each color of lightning mean?

Instances of "ball lightning", or at least phenomena that might well be construed as ball lightning, have been observed for hundreds of years. It is indeed likely that many historical (or contemporary) accounts relating to magic or UFOs may well be related to this natural phenomenon. Despite these many years of precedent, however, it is only over the past few decades that scientists have begun to take ball lightning seriously.\n\nClick here for a short educational film.\n \nInformation about ball lightning (as no theory has been confirmed as the 'definitive answer') comes mostly from eye-witness reports. Unfortunately, these sightings vary wildly in content, perhaps indicating that there are different kinds of ball lightning stalking the people of Earth.\n \nIn May of 1949, several farm labourers were gathering the asparagus harvest in Rushford, England. Peggy and Delia Filby were among those who took refuge from a rainstorm by sheltering themselves within a tarpaulin covered trailer. During the height of the thunderstorm, a brilliant flash rocked the area indicating a heavy lightning strike. Delia and others then saw what they described as a "football-sized, softly glowing orange-red ball of light". It gave off neither sparks nor rays, and did not pulse as it bounced across the field, towards the frightened observers. Within a few seconds, however, the ball disappeared soundlessly. The workers experienced something like an electric shock as it did so.\n \nIn 1967, M. Dmitriev, a Russian chemist, was camping on the banks of the Onegaw river. Following an intense lightning flash, a "ball of fire" appeared about 30 cm over the surface of the water, unaffected by the intense winds. The ball crackled and hissed as it flew past his head and into a group of nearby trees. The sphere bounced from tree to tree "like a billiard ball", emitting a trail of blue-grey smoke.\n \nOne of the most (in)famous ball lightning sightings comes from Roger Jennison, professor of Electronics at the University of Kent. In March of 1963, while caught in a storm en route from New York to Washington, his plane was enveloped by a bright and audible electrical discharge. Some seconds later, a glowing sphere emerged from the pilot's cabin and passed through the central aisle of the aeroplane, from one end to the other. The ball floated at about 75 cm above the floor, and moved at approximately 1.5 metres per second (relative to the aircraft). It gave off no discernible heat, and was an opaque, blue-white colour.\n \nFrom these accounts and others, scientists have come to understand that ball lightning typically occurs shortly after 'normal lightning', although it has been known to arise several days after such a lightning strike. It appears able to pass through glass and solid objects, sometimes causing damage in the process, and only rarely emits heat. Sometimes a hissing or crackling sound can be heard, other times it is perfectly silent.\n \n \nBall Lightning origin theories from AA&ES Magazine.\n \n"A simple answer to the phenomenon doesn't appear to be forthcoming and tentative explanations rely heavily on theoretical physics. One of the current favourites concerns electromagnetic plasmoid models: the greatest problem for the theorist is explaining how sufficient energy be contained within such a small space without it being emitted steadily and continuously, but sometimes suddenly. Dr. Geoff Endean (School of Engineering and Computer Science, University of Durham) has suggested that the energy containment problem can be circumvented since a very rapidly rotating electric field can exist in a plasma without a magnetic field with no apparent limit to the electrical field strength - heady stuff indeed.\n \nFurthermore, it has also been suggested that ball lightning may occur quite frequently but the electromagnetism associated with it is not strong enough to render it visible to the eye


I'm a shopoholic (seriously), how can this be treated?

you may have an underlying psychological disorder.  shopping a lot is often a sign of OCD or depression, especially when considering overeating in your past.  you should seek professoinal help immediately, a therapist can give you help specialized for you, and treat underlying problems.\nget rid of your credit cards, stay busy so you don't have time to shop, find something even more fun to do, allow yourself to go shopping sometimes, but no more than once a week, and limit the amount you'll spend (carry only that amount with you, plus enough for gas, emergencies, etc., but don't use that for other purchases), go shopping only if you need something, buy only that

Myth & Reality of HIV AIDS (Myth is nothing but perception)\n\nMYTH: HIV or AIDS can be cured.\n\nREALITY: To date, there is no cure for HIV or AIDS and there are no vaccines to prevent HIV infection.\n\nMYTH: HIV/AIDS is a gay disease.\n\nREALITY: Anyone is susceptible to HIV/AIDS, regardless of their sexual orientation. Everyone is potentially at risk of getting HIV if they share needles or practice unsafe sex. Worldwide, HIV is spread most often through heterosexual contact.\n\nMYTH: You can get HIV from breathing the air around an HIV-infected person or from hugging or holding hands with an HIV-infected person.\n\nREALITY: HIV cannot be transmitted through:\n• toilet seats or door-knob handles\n• touching, hugging, holding hands, or cheek kissing with an HIV-infected person.\n• sharing eating utensils with an HIV-infected person.\n• mosquito bites.\nHIV is transmitted through contact with an HIV-positive person’s infected body fluids, such as semen, pre-ejaculate fluid, vaginal fluids, blood, or breast milk. HIV can also be transmitted through needles used for injecting drugs, tattooing or body piercing.\n\nMYTH: I can get HIV by sharing exercise equipment or playing sports with an HIV-positive person.\n\nREALITY: Contact with sweat or tears has never been shown to result in transmission of HIV.\n\nMYTH: You can get HIV by kissing an HIV-infected person.\n\nREALITY: Casual contact through closed-mouth or “social” kissing is not a risk for transmission of HIV. There is a theoretical potential for contact with blood during “French” kissing or open-mouthed kissing, but no cases have been attributed to any kind of kissing.\n\nMYTH: You cannot get HIV if you are using birth control methods like diaphragms, cervical caps, sponges, spermicides, DepoProvera, Norplant, or the Pill.\n\nREALITY: These birth control methods do not prevent the transmission of sexually transmitted diseases (STD) such as HIV. They only aim to prevent pregnancy. The surest way to prevent both pregnancy and an STD infections is through abstinence. One way people who are sexually active may prevent pregnancy and STD infection is to use a condom in combination with another form of birth control, such as a diaphragm, cervical cap, sponge, spermicide, DepoProvera, Norplant, or the Pill. Birth control products containing the spermicide nonoxynol-9 (found in most contraceptive creams, gels, suppositories, foams, films and sponges) help to prevent pregnancy but may increase the risk of HIV.\n\nMYTH: I can’t have more than one sexually transmitted disease (STD) at a time.\n\nREALITY: A person can be infected with more than one STD. A person with an untreated STD may also be 6-10 times more likely to pass on or acquire HIV during sex. Risk for infection increases 10 to 300-fold in the presence of a genital ulcer, such as occurs in syphilis or genital herpes.\n\nMYTH: There is so such thing as safer sex.\n\nREALITY: Safer sex is sexual activity without penetration, or sex with a latex condom or a latex barrier (in the case of oral sex). Although safer sex can substantially reduce the sexual transmission of an STD like HIV, sexual abstinence is the surest way to prevent the sexual transmission of an STD, including HIV.\n\nMYTH: Since I only have oral sex, I’m not at risk for HIV/AIDS.\n\nREALITY: While oral sex is of lower risk than other forms of sex, you can get HIV by having oral sex with a man or a woman.

What is the legal amount of cannabis resin that you can possess without the intent to supply?

Actually none! It is a very common misconception and confusion that cannabis was in some way legalised in the UK. Posession of cannabis in any form is illegal in this country. However, the police will prosecute to differing levels depending on what they suspect your intention is. Basically if you had a tiny amount they may choose to confiscate it and caution you. A larger amount may get you time for posession. But there is no fixed level that decided when you move from posession to posession with intent. Safest bet is not to have any, and if you do dont have to much, and if you have too much, dont get caught!


School is incredibly hard in China. Students have a lot of pressure to get into a good school and keep getting good grades. China doesn't have free education. Although there are public schools, they require tuition, and the price may vary depending on how good the school is. Families with a low income can only afford an average school, while a wealthy family can afford a better school. Students are very competitive because everyone wants to be the best, or number one. But everyone can't be number one, because it's impossible. In China, if you're not number one, you're nothing. To be number one, students study everyday. Besides regular school, they take additional classes in an attempt to have that upper edge. Students usually don't watch TV, or hang out with friends, or do normal stuff, because they are always studying.


What is the legal age of consent in Missouri?

Missouri has one of the weirdest laws anywhere.  Basically, if both people are under the age of 21, the age of consent is 14.   If one of the partners is 21 or older, the age of consent is 17.


Not sure how old you are or if you are already on them, but birth control pills are supposed to give you less lengthy and less painful periods.  Also, I have found that working your abdomen through the pain (like doing crunches) helps, too.  You can also do abdominal contractions anywhere, anytime.  So if you are having bad cramping or pain, say while standing in line at the grocery store, you can do abdominal contraction of the muscles and nobody even knows you are doing them!  Hope this helped!

Witches as represented traditionally, are a fable. There are witches though who have an old enough tradition. Most of their beliefs, and practices come from one or another of the pagan traditions, sometimes, several of those. \nA spell cannot make you do something that is against your will. But, if the desire exists inside of you, it can be brought out and capitalized upon. So witches, warlocks or magicians, all use the common sense properties of the human mind and psyche. The effect of most spells however, is not immediately felt, especially when it involves some future events. So witches do exist.\nYet there exist better and worse scientists, and in the same manner some are more talented than others in witchcraft. Either way, you would not get what you expect for the most part. The true witch is considerably stronger than what you think, in one sense, and much weaker in another. Does it answer your question? There is much more that can be said about the theory of magic than can be covered here.

just noticed a lump on my groin? could it be cyst or some thing else?

It may be a bartholin cyst, which is a harmless build up of fluid caused by a blockage. If it becomes painful and heaps bigger in a short amount of time, it might be infected so go to the doctor's straight away. If it doesn't do anything, you can leave it or go get it drained (ew, I know).\nIt might also be a trapped hair , causing a bump around it?\nGood luck mate.

There are 24 hours to a dygn (day + night) but the english language doesn´t have a single word for (day + night) for some reason which is why you are confused. How many hours to the day varies throughout the year and with the location. In the northern hemisphere the day is now longer than the night. In the summer the night will only last for a couple of hours up here (Sweden) with the day lasting for some 20 hours. The day + the night is always 24 hours however.


Do you ever asked yourself why God creates you as Human and your purpose on earth?

Before the world began, God saved us and called us with a holy calling (Eph.4:1 below), not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace (2 Tim.1:9, Jn.17:5, Eph.3:9, Eph.1:4 below).\n\nI believe God has purposed and given to us in Christ Jesus, before the world began, a holy calling, the works each of us is to accomplish who live by faith (Eph.2:10, Jm.2:21-26 below). \n\n\nEph.4:1I THEREFORE, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,    \n\n2 Tim.1:9Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling (Eph.4:1 above), not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus BEFORE THE WORLD BEGAN (Jn.17:5 below),\n\nJn.17:5 And now, 0 Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee BEFORE THE WORLD WAS (2 Tim.1:9 above).\n\nEph.3:9 And to make all men see what is the fellowship (Eph.2:14-19, Gal.3:28) of the mystery WHICH FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE WORLD HATH BEEN HID IN God (Eph.1:4 below), who created all things by Jesus Christ.\n\nEph.1:4 According as he (Christ) hath chosen us in him BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD (Eph.3:9 above, Jn.17:5 above) that we should be holy and without blame (Col.1:22 below) before him in love.\n\nEph.2:10For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.\n\nJm.2:21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?\n\nJm.2:22 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?\n\nJm.2:23 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.\n\nJm.2:24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.\n\nJm.2:25 Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent [them] out another way?\n\nJm.2:26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.\n\n\n\n\nPat (ndbpsa ©)

How to find true love and to know if its the true thing or not?

Since i am answering in the Singles and Dating section.... apparently I am NOT the expert on this.\n\nHowever, I would assume that to find true love, you need to learn everything there is to know about someone, within reason of course.\n\nHaving a wonderful sex partner does NOT equal true love.\n\nHaving a wonderful provider to yourself or your kids does NOT equal true love.\n\nTake your time, get to know someone before you make any life long committments. In my opinion, this could take years of communication before you can find that "true" love.

Do you believe in God (Any God or Higher Power)? Please explain why.?

Yes I do. But I don't believe in religion, because religion generally preaches intolerance and attributes human traits to god, which I think is inaccurate. I do believe that a loving and beautiful entity created us, and that it is "god" or whatever you feel more comfortable calling it. But I believe many things, using a mixture of logic and instinct. My instincts tell me there is a presence that loves us all. But that is just my simple understanding. Any suffering that we feel is our own creation, so the argument that "why would god cause pain" is an inaccurate argument. God, I believe, has infinite patience, and that is why we cause eachother pain without being stricken from the earth. And that is why I think that the atheist logic is flawed as well. Both sides use either the bible or "logic" to either bring down or deny god for their own agendas. Both sides use emotions, mostly anger; anger at god or anger at those who deny god. Please understand that I am not trying to bash anyone, this is just people that I have known personally, not everybody. Suffering is an emotion, which is a blessing and a curse, to quote a cliche.  With true enlightenment can come love and happiness, and for me that enlightenment is my bond with my creator. I feel happier than I have in years, and it gets better every day that I allow it inside. Every time I try to understand another human being and their pain and joy I think that things are more clear to me. I used to be agnostic, because of my anger at god, but one day, I just realized that my pain didn't have to own me. God is not something you can logically prove, or logically disprove, it is just something you believe one way or the other.


My boyfriend never calls me. Should I break up with him?

Play him at his own game! Don't call or message him. Let him wait and time will tell if its meant to be. Maybe he's just really busy or doen't know where he stands with you. Try and talk to him about it and let him know how you feel. He might not know that his behaviour is effecting you! Spend some time with your friends and family, enjoy your life! If he's worth it, he'll call you! If not, your worth more! Whatever you do don't let him upset! He doesn't know what hes missing! Good luck lady!


PLEASE do NOT OPEN THIS QUESTION.........!?


I want to live at the outer banks, nc this summer. How do I find an apartment thats not a vacation rental?

Hi. Funny you should ask! I live on the Outer Banks myself and had the same problem when I was looking for a place. It's tough to find something good that doesn't cost over a grand a month here. Currently the best place to look is in a newspaper called "The Coastland Times". There's also the "OB Sentinal" but it won't have as much. You can also visit http://www.insiders.com/outerbanks/main-rentals3.htm#Heading12 for a listing of realty companies to rent long term rentals from. Good luck!

Why is it that rich people pay more as a percentage in taxes than poor people?

It is the basic tenent of Marxism.  From each according to his means, to each according to his needs.  Sadly, a large number of people in a recent poll actually identified that statement as coming from the Bill of Rights.\n\nWe have what is known as a "progressive" tax system, which is based upon the notion that the "rich" have more, so they can give more.  Pure Marxism.\n\nAs a result, according to IRS statistics, the highest 20% of income earners pay over 82.1% of the taxes.  The bottom 50% of income earners pays statistically nothing.\n\nUnfortunately, not only does this punish achievement, it depresses the economy for all of us (I am a teacher, so I do not qualify as "rich").  Another result is that tax reform becomes harder and harder as more and more people pay little or no taxes.  Try selling a tax cut to a net user in America today.


If I only worked at a job for three months and it was a bad experience, Do I have to list them as a reference?

You certainly don't have to list them as a reference.\n\nYou don't have to put it on your resume or an application either.  \n\nBut you will have to come up with a good answer for what you were doing those three months.  And you do have a very good and reasonable answer. \n\nI still wouldn't list it.  There are plenty of people with long, extensive work histories who do not list every single job they ever had - particularly if the job is not relevant to the new position, or if it was a transitional or temporary job, similar to your situation. \n\nOf course, it is up to you.  You sound like a very considerate and thoughtful person; you will know what is the the right thing in your situation.


what is the leadership structures of Jehovah's witnesses?

Jehovah is the Almighty; all creation including Christ Jesus is subject to Jehovah God.\n(1 Corinthians 11:3) But I want you to know that the head of every man is the Christ; ...in turn the head of the Christ is God\n\nChrist is the head of the true Christian congregation.\n(Ephesians 4:15) Let us by love grow up in all things into him who is the head, Christ\n\nAlthough it is not a person, both Jehovah and Jesus use the Holy Spirit as a helper to the faithful on earth, in conjunction with the Scriptures. Humans must yield to the scriptures and the direction of the spirit.\n(John 14:26) [Jesus said] But the helper, the holy spirit, which the Father will send in my name, that one will teach you all things and bring back to your minds all the things I told you.\n\nA group of humans called "the faithful and discreet slave" are authorized by Christ to distribute spiritual "food at the proper time" to Christ's earthly congregation, although this "slave's" teachings are not inspired in the manner that the bible writers were. The faithful slave class uses the scriptures to help the Christian congregation deal with the temptations and discouragements in this world while growing in encouragement and education about Jehovah's purposes.\n(Matthew 24:44-47) [Jesus] the Son of man is coming. “Who really is the faithful and discreet slave whom his master appointed over his domestics, to give them their food at the proper time? Happy is that slave if his master on arriving finds him doing so. Truly I say to you, He will appoint him over all his belongings.\n\nIn local congregations throughout the earth, the "faithful slave" appoints men to 'take the lead' who meet the scriptural qualifications for elders. The direction these overseers provide is strictly subject to that of the scriptures and "the faithful slave".\n(Hebrews 13:17) Be obedient to those who are taking the lead among you and be submissive, for they are keeping watch over your souls\n(Titus 1:5-9) Make appointments of older men in city after city... For an overseer must be free from accusation as God’s steward, not self-willed, ...holding firmly to the faithful word as respects his art of teaching, that he may be able both to exhort by the teaching that is healthful and to reprove those who contradict.\n\nElders are not members of some elevated clergy class, but fellow workers with the congregation. Every baptized Jehovah's Witness is considered an ordained minister and every active Witness performs some public door-to-door preaching work each month. It is their uniqueness in following Christ's explicit command to preach and teach that assures mankind that Jehovah's Witnesses are the only true Christians.\n(Matthew 28:18-20) Jesus approached and spoke to them, saying: “All authority has been given me in heaven and on the earth. Go therefore and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit, teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded you. And, look! I am with you all the days until the conclusion of the system of things.”


Take your time at figuring that out. Life experience will let you in on that. Have you tried different types of volunteer work? Church groups can expose you to different stuff also and both look great on a scholarship app. Check into those things and maybe it will help. Give yourself time to be a kid and grow up. You only have that once and you never get it back when it is gone.


A show cause letter is a written notice asking the employee to explain or to "show cause" why he should not be given disciplinary action given what he did or did not do.\n\nAs for whether a reminder is necessary prior to the show cause letter, it really depends on the labor laws of the place where you work in.  In some jurisdictions, the show cause letter itself serves as the first notice. The employee then submits his written explanation and then a second notice is required called a Notice of Decision.

Which is better: BS in Business/marketing, or BS in Business/finance?

Marketing is more of a creative skill that includes data/number crunching based on demographics and measuring results, but can be very difficult to get an accurate tracking of results. Your marketing jobs will typically be found in major cities- there isn't much opporunity in smaller towns.\n\nFinance, however, is needed everywhere. Every business has accounts payable, receivables, debt-to-income ratios, etc. If you're looking for something more logical and generally reliable, finance is probably the way you want to go. Marketing can be hit or miss, unfortunately.

Before we can understand auroras, we need a few facts about the space around our Earth. There are many things in this space that we can't see.\n\nOne thing is the air we breathe, our atmosphere. It is really a mixture of several gases, mostly nitrogen and oxygen, with traces of hydrogen, helium and various compounds.\n \n\n\nA Field of Earth\nAnother thing we can't see is a magnetic field that surrounds the Earth. If you've ever played with a bar magnet and iron filings you've seen the curved patterns the filings form in the magnetic field. The next picture shows how the magnetic field around the earth's core is like the field of a bar magnet.\n\nThe Earth's "magnet" is deep in the core. Since we can't see the magnetic field, we draw lines to represent it. The field lines go into and out of the Earth around the Earth's magnetic poles. Where the lines are closest together the field is strongest. Where they are furthest apart it is weakest. Can you tell where the magnetic field is the strongest? Where is it weakest?   \n\n\nCharged Particles\nA third invisible thing in the space around the Earth is a plasma, made of lots of charged particles. There are always electrons and positive ions in the surrounding magnetic field. Charged particles in a magnetic field move in a special way: they are guided by the field. The particles travel along magnetic field lines as if they were wires, circling around the lines in a long spiral as they go. Charged particles are the "ammunition" of an aurora.\n \n\nSolar Powered Display\nThe short answer to how the aurora happens is that energetic electrically charged particles (mostly electrons) accelerate along the magnetic field lines into the upper atmosphere, where they collide with gas atoms, causing the atoms to give off light. But why does that happen? To find the answer, we must look further away, to the Sun. The spectacular, "great" auroras in "What do they look like?" are powered by what is called the solar wind.\n\nThe Sun also has an atmosphere and a magnetic field that extend into space. The Sun's atmosphere is made of hydrogen, which is itself made of subatomic particles: protons and electrons. These particles are constantly boiling off the Sun and streaming outward at very high speeds.  Together, the Sun's magnetic field and particles are called the "solar wind."\n\n This wind is always pushing on the Earth's magnetic field, changing its shape.  You change the shape of a soap bubble in a similar way when you blow on its surface. We call this compressed field around the earth the magnetosphere. The Earth's field is compressed on the day side, where the solar wind flows over it. It is also stretched into a long tail like the wake of a ship, which is called the magnetotail, and points away from the Sun.  \n\nSqueezing the Earth's magnetic field takes energy, just the way it takes energy to compress a balloon with air in it. The whole process is still not fully understood, but energy from the solar wind is constantly building up in the magnetosphere, and this energy is what powers auroras.\n\n\nThe Big Push\nSo we have the Earth's magnetosphere, with the solar wind squeezing the magnetosphere and charged particles everywhere in the field. Solar particles are always entering the tail of the magnetosphere from the solar wind and moving toward the Sun. Now and then, when conditions are right, the build-up of pressure from the solar wind creates an electric voltage between the magnetotail and the poles, like the voltage between the two terminals of a battery. It can reach about 10,000 volts! \n\nThe voltage pushes electrons (which are very light) toward the magnetic poles, accelerating them to high speeds, much like the electrons in a TV picture tube that accelerate to hit the screen. They zoom along the field lines towards the ground to the north and south, until huge numbers of electrons


If the Native Americans had no concept of owning land, does that mean the Europeans didn´t steal their land?

You're confusing communal property customs with the English concept of private property.\n\nNo individuals or tribes owned land in perpetutity, but they used it.  And they had very temporary arrangements over who could use it when.  Those arrangements were constantly being renegotiated because it was considered selfish to hold onto land for too long.  How long was a matter of tribe, custom, family, and kin network.  \n\nSo when they "sold" the whites the land, they had no idea that the whites wanted it forever (and most of the time, white people didn't tel them).  That idea never crossed their mind because it made no sense to them.  They sold land to the white people for use under the same rules of tribe, custom, family, and kin network that applied to them.  When white people refused to obey these rules, they were considered theives by native standards.\n\nAnd there wsa a lot of land that was not sold to the Europeans, but was taken by force.  That was also considered stealing in the native context. \n\nJust because there is no concept of private individual property doesn't mean that there is no concept of theft.  It simply means that the concept operates differently.

how do i get rid of falling in love with the wrong people(male)?

I can't tell, but I'll assume you are a female. Many times a young woman that either has had a bad relationship with a father or significant male figure at an early age ( between 2 and 10 years old) will be attracted to men that are similar in characteristics. They attempt to change the person in an attempt to fill a void in their past. If you think this may sound like you, I'd suggest you get some counseling to deal with the real source of the problem, which is from your childhood.\n\nTry finding a church or christian counselor if you can. Some will charge  based on what you can afford. Take this seriously. It could mean becoming healed and whole, or a lifetime of heartache!


What are some situations where ethical practices may be opposed?

There can be little ground for opposing financially sound ethical practices.

What are some myths about any one of the bill of rights?

The Third Amendment, which says troops and militia may not be housed in private residences unless in time of war. the myth is that the Amendment is pointless and unnecessary.\n\nIf the Third Amendment is now pointless, it is only so because it exists. This was actually one of the primary causes of the American Revolution, because it was standard practice for European monarchs to keep their population under control while masking the cost of the military budget.\n\nWhen the British army was sent to Boston after the outbreak of protests, the soldiers were forceably housed with local residents without compensation. This achieved several things:\n\n1-The British Army did not have to build barracks for the soldiers, and did not have to pay to feed the soldiers. This saved money for England while forming an unofficial tax on the American colonists.\n\n2-The soldier living in the home acted both as a deterrent to the family members who might consider actions in cooperation with the Sons of Liberty, and acted as a spy against those families that did take part in protests.\n\n3-The soldier would act as the face of the army on the street, however the commander wanted it to appear, either warm and fuzzy or merciless and vindictive.
