Is there any permanent cure for Shoulder dislocation?

I don'tknow.i dislocated mine almost 2 years ago and its just now back to 100%.  Was a pretty serious dislocation, and I did kinda compound it by not keeping it imobilised like my doc wanted.  But, was better than the surgical alternitive, which was not cool at all.  Nope, not cool.  Don't remember what it was, quit listening when they started on the whole, incision here and some screw thing there.  Started playing music in my head, not gonna do it, wouldn't be prudent.\nOk, that doesn't help at all, I know. But its 5:37 in the morning and I started typing, so I decided, why quit?\nlol\nHave a nice day. Er sumthin.

wat does ''neb it in the budd or but means" ?

I think your question is, "what does 'nip it in the bud' mean"?\nAnswer:  This is a metaphor regarding gardening.  When examining a flower (or vegetable) bud about to open and bloom you see that it is unhealthy, i.e. blackened, wilted, infested with bugs, it is always best to pinch, cut or "nip" it off at the bud stage so it does not spread it's sickness to the rest of the healthy plant.  Now that you know the origin of the phrase I'll bet you're able to understand how it also applies to people and situations in life.  When you (or a group of people) notice that you are developing an unhealthy attitude or are heading in a self-destructive direction the best and quickest way to head it off is to "nip it in the bud" or get rid of the cause of the problem before it has a chance to spread into something bigger and much worse.

Is jumping on a trampoline good exercise?

Yes, it is called "rebounding".  There are plenty of books out there on rebounding, very interesting too.  There is a whole "rebounders" society, if you will, out there.\nRebounding is a zero-impact exercise and provides many benefits for you and your body: \n\nImproves circulation \nIncreases the capacity of heart and lungs \nLowers cholesterol levels \nImproves co-ordination and balance \nReduces stress and tension \nImproves muscle tone (particularly legs, thighs, hips, abdomen and arms) \nIncreases energy and vitality \nBoosts the lymphatic and immune system \nFits in with your lifestyle \nAND IS GREAT FUN! \nPlus, unlike many other aerobic activities, rebounding places no strain on the joints of your body.\n\nThis is the only excercise that excercises every cell in your body at the same time.  It improves your cell health and your lymphatic system.\n\nGood Luck!


what do women like when a guy is doing in sex?

I am an Aquarian and people say never mind, not not really mad.?

I don't know if I completely understand the question, but Aquarians are known for being much more logical than emotional, much more prone to objectify something, or judge and analyze it rather than respond. Ruled by stern Saturn traditionally, and eccentric Uranus, this sign is seen to be the least swayed by their inner moods, although the entire astrological natal chart should be looked at.\n\nAs for anger, that's shown by the sign and house placement of Mars in your chart, and how well (or not) the other parts of your psyche work with Mars is shown by aspects.

What will happen to me if i surgically remove my ovaries? What changes will there be in my body?

the medical term for removing your ovaries is called a Oophorectomy.\nOophorectomy is often necessary when pelvic disease, such as ovarian cancer or severe endometriosis, is present. In the United States, more than 600,000 hysterectomies (the surgical removal of a woman's uterus) are performed each year. About half of these involve removal of the ovaries too.\n\nOophorectomy is sometimes recommended when the hormones produced by the ovaries are worsening a disease, such as breast cancer or severe endometriosis.\n\nIn rare cases, the ovaries are removed in an attempt to reduce the possibility of developing a future disease, such as ovarian cancer. This is called a prophylactic oophorectomy.\nIf you do not have an increased risk of ovarian cancer or another disease that requires the removal of your ovaries, consider the benefits of not having your ovaries removed. These benefits include:\n\nHormones. When an oophorectomy is done before a woman's natural age of menopause, estrogen replacement therapy (ERT) may be prescribed afterward to reduce the risk of osteoporosis, hot flashes, and other menopausal symptoms. Ask your doctor about other problems that may be related to using ERT. \nFewer fractures. Removal of the ovaries increases the risk for developing weak and brittle bones (osteoporosis), because the body no longer produces a large amount of estrogen. The risk for developing osteoporosis following an oophorectomy is greater in young women. \nLong-term survival benefits. Women younger than age 65 who do not have their ovaries removed have a slight increase in long-term survival. This increase may occur because women who have their ovaries have fewer fractures and are less likely to develop heart disease.1 \n\nFrom webmd\n \n \n\n\n \n\n\nFor more information..consult your Gynecologist or Obstertician

How can I delete a yahoo account with illegal contents?

If you are talking about Yahoo, then you have to delete your user account too. You can do that from the following link : https://edit.yahoo.com/config/delete_use...\n\nTwo ways to delete your Yahoo Account\n\n(1) Get it deleted by inactivity\n(2) Terminate your account manually\n\nFor the first method, just don't login to your account for 4 months, and your account gets deleted. But the waiting period is quite long. It is a good policy by Yahoo, as it helps maintain an accurate number of users. Hotmail used to brag about in its initial days about its huge userbase, most of its accounts were never used by users(who had registered themselves to get a taste of what email is called). Yahoo always gave an accurate picture. Also, for common usernames like amitgupta, emmacooper, etc which are never available (due to large no of people having these names), a chance is available to the new users to get such usernames from users who are inactive( which generally have to be registered as emmacooper1232005 due to unavailability)\n\nFor the second method, the link above. The advantage is that your account is terminated instantaneously. You can read the explaination at http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/edit/edit-...


Why do american women feel so opressed all the time? See details...?

I want to say that I am glad to hear women who don't feel opressed.\n\nA little history on the subject....\n\nMany years ago in the US women didn't have all the same priviledges as men.  They couldn't vote or do several others things men could.  The feminist movement rose up and brought about equal priviledges in these areas.  This was a good thing to happen.\n\nAfter that the more radical people in the movement have continued to feel opressed and voice that opinion.  Just because they feel that way doesn't mean they are anymore.  But, in the US small voices can speak very loudly and have a significant impact on things.\n\nMuch of this modern femenist movement looks down on staying home to raise kids, cooking meals, etc.  They tend to look at it as a unisex with the working world as the place to be and if you aren't in it you are opressed.\n\nThis is of course just a point of view.  Cooking can be great fun (I am a guy who loves it).  Raising kids is a joy that people who work miss out on parts of.\n\nI look at my mom.  She doesn't have to do certain labors cause my dad does.  She had the priviledge to stay home with the kids because my dad worked.  She got to be with us kids more often because of that and it's something my dad missed out on.  My dad working gave her so many priviledges in life.\n\nModern psychology, biology, and sociology show that men and women are different.  They crave different things.  Their brains even react differently to different things.  They are physically build differenlty making them more physically suited for certain tasks.  They are chemically different inside.  This also shows that men think more physically and spacially.  It's part of the difference in brain operation.  This is part of the reason men like physical labor more.  The male body is phycially built that way from muscle structure to brain activity.  In turn women are built to carry children and have the chemical and brain structure for a stronger connection to those children.\n\nThis contradicts the unisex idea that we are the same except for our reproductive organs but many deny this.\n\nIt's really a product of the modern feminist movement.


If a person breaks his or her neck or back, the spinal cord is always damaged?

Not always.  There is usually trauma to the spinal cord, but it's often just bruising and with the right treatment and stabilization of the fracture, it heals and the patient makes a full recovery. \n\n Sometimes there is no paralysis at all.


If there were aliens what would they have in common with us?

I had watched a program that compiled testimony from those that claimed to have had an encounter of the third kind (Visual or physical contact with aliens not of this planet). This compliation was used as a bases for a comparison of us based on the future evolution of our speices. The fact that we humans will begin (As of this centry) relying on technology as a way of life. Our physical abilities and size will deminish as physical activity and strengh will not be as neccesary. Our eyes and mind will increase in size as the amount of visual data (Multi-tasking from several monitors at once for example.) which also will neccesitate increased brain size.\nOur requirement of food, and water will drastically change for lesser amounts in relation to activity. Meaning, that we will not have much in the form of a digestive system. (the foods we will eat may actually be a chemically processed material that are more chemical in origin than biological, which may not need digested at all)\nAfter this evolution, as anthropologist had explained, then we Human's will look very much like the aleins as described by those that claimed to have seen them. So we may have everything in common with each other. Anthropologically, we may have a simular type of history of evolving from a lesser speci to one that travels (or will) through the stars. Theologiclly, we may have, or were created by the same god(s).

Well obvious Mr. Savage is going for a reaction, as I presume are you, and somewhat successfully too.\n\nI can't deny its not fun to antagonize our liberal friends, as you are, but of course at the end of the day, the blind following of ideals from either end of the political spectrum, is the main stay of democracy. It would be as easy to find ridiculous conservative ideas as it was to find ridiculous democratic ideals and question the sanity of those that repeat them.\n\nSo fun yes, but no, not true.

Can non- human animals collapse the wavefunction when they look at a quantic phenomenon ?

Who said that humans collapse the wavefunction by looking at it?  The wavefunction is something that is used to determine probabilities for finding a particle in a particular location ( specifically we use the square of the wavefunction).  \n\nI think you mean the uncertainty principle, which states that you can't know the location and the momentum of a particle at the same time with complete certainty.  For that, it is the same whether it is a human, an animal, or a machine that is measuring the phenomena.


If I signed a one-year lease agreement, and get offered a job in the 3rd month out-of -town, what happens?

See if you can sublet the apartment; check your lease and/or aparment manager. However, if your sublessee bails out on the contract, you are still liable for the remainder of the contract. You might be able to assign the contract; basically someone takes over for you, thereby establishing privity of contract between the landlord and the assignee,  releasing you from the realty obligation. That's a quick rundown; go to www.nolo.com for some more free info.


Which is better rap music or rock music and why?


It's a complex algorithm that is kept private by the 3 major credit reporting agencies. But generally speaking, the biggest factors are:\n\n- paying bills on time (positive points)\n- the size of your accounts, the larger ones like mortgages are good, the smaller ones like Target are bad \n- how frequently creditors look into your report (negative points)\n- whether or not you have any judgements or bankruptcies (negative points)\n- keeping your balances below half of the limit (positive points)\n- the frequency of using your cards (if you don't use your credit cards over a long period of time, your score goes down)\n- last, but not least: you need to have at least a few accounts open, but not too many\n\nHope that helps.

what increases the risk of Retinoblastoma ???

Retinoblastoma (RB) is a genetic disease because it is caused by an error, called a mutation, in the retinoblastoma gene.  Normally each person should have two copies of the retinoblastoma gene, one gene inherited from their mother and the second retinoblastoma gene inherited from their father.  \n\nThe risk for other members of the family to be affected is high when the affected child has retinoblastoma in both eyes.  If only one eye has retinoblastoma but there are other family members affected with retinoblastoma, the risks remain high for other relatives.  When the affected child has tumors in one eye and is the only affected individual in the family the risk for relatives to have retinoblastoma is lower.\n\n            Hereditary unilateral retinoblastoma can only be distinguished from non-hereditary unilateral retinoblastoma by identification of the mutations in both copies if the retinoblastoma gene of tumor cells.  A blood sample must then be examined for the same mutations.  Identification of the same retinoblastoma mutation in blood indicates heritable retinoblastoma, while its absence in blood suggests non-heritable retinoblastoma.  \n\n*** There is a chart on the web page listed below:\nhttp://www.retinoblastoma.ca/first%20article.htm

My grandpa just died. He was my last living grandpa. I'm just pretending that he's on a trip. Is that bad?

Pretending is not a bad thing if it helps us to accept something that is hard for us to face right away, as long as the pretending doesn't become reality for you. If he is usually in Florida this time of year, it is not unusual for you to think he is still there. It is not easy to accept that someone you love and was close to is no longer here, you might expect a phone call at any time or expect them to walk in the door at any moment, it's not unusual to feel that way either.

Have you ever read the King James Bible thru and if so how many times?

The total of the reading which I have done in this particular bible amounts to somehwre between 35 and 45 times for The New Teastament and about 11 times for the Old Testament.  This does not count looking up some very small specific sections in the Old Testament, perhaps the best part of 1000 times.\n\nI read in quest of spiritual truths and continued after making great progress, but not necessarily by way of the Bible, although it greatly helped.  God can answer your questions in many ways not involving more Bible reading.  The best Answers from God apply to your place in the NOW.\n\nI have a blog if this sounds interesting:\n\nhttp://www.spaces.msn.com/members/up-escalator

What is the origin of the word "toehead or towhead" for extremely blond people?

The word tow in towhead means 'the fiber of flax, hemp, or jute, prepared for spinning'. Such fibers are both light-colored and messy, and so towhead can refer to someone with light or messy hair. The word is very often used of children. \n\nThis tow is ultimately from an Old English word 'thread; something for spinning', and is related to other Germanic words in similar senses. Towhead is an Americanism from the nineteenth century.

why when a new program goes to throw it for first time and is not the last version, they name it beta?

A beta version or beta release represents the first version of the software that has passed system testing and regression testing.\nThe beta build is now ready for a beta test, in which it is tested through a limited roll-out to a production environment using live data and real users. The beta test is closely monitored by the software testers.\nSome development teams use the term beta informally to denote build of the software that is stable enough to be useful for internal demonstrations and previews to select customers, but not yet ready for release.\n\nAlso note that beta is the second letter of the Greek alphabet, being alpha the first letter *and* the first development stage of a program.


I made a creature in science and I have to name it. I'd like a name with a U in it but any thing is fine.?

What are the stages in the formation of the bodies of waters???  pls help me...i need now the answers...pls...

Oligitrophy is the beginning stage of a lake. The lake is rich in dissolved oxygen, but lacks essential plant nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus. This means that the lake also has a lack of fertility that limits animal life in the lake.                   \n        In its mid-life, the lake becomes mesotrophic. The nutrients, such as decaying organic matter or man made items such commercial fertilizers, flowing into the lake accumulate in the bottom sediments along with nutrients that settled from decay of the lake's own organisms. Some of this nourishment recycles into the upper waters where it is photosynthesized into greater production of phytoplankton.\nThe final stage of eutrophication is eutrophy. This stage occurs when the lake becomes old and, despite its old age, its fertility hastens. When the lake's fertility hastens it increases the supply of nutrients in the water and thus generates lush growth among rooted plants near the shore and between floating phytoplankton. The lake's water soon becomes turbid with decaying organic matter from plants and animals and the supply of dissolved oxygen in the water becomes depleted by the rapidly growing plants that use all the oxygen they need to live, which is a high majority of it. The absence of oxygen causes anaerobic bacteria to attack organic matter thus releasing hydrogen sulfide. This signifies the end of the lake's days as the plant life covers up the lake, turning it into a swamp or bog.

*claps* 3 people managed to say the exact same thing and STILL DIDN'T answer the question.\n\nYour asking how to remove a virus manualy from a computer, presumably you have already found it and the antivirus has said that it can not be removed.  This is probably because windows protects certian types of files from being accidently being deleted.  Your best bet is to reboot your computer into safe mode when it starts up, then run your virus scan again and it should be able to get rid of the virus.  To get into safe mode read this http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/tsgeninfo.nsf/docid/2001052409420406?OpenDocument&src=sec_doc_nam\nIf that doesn't work, find the EXACT name of the virus and google it.  Usually Norton of Mcafee will have a information page about that particular virus and manual removal instructions which are usually quite longer than a reboot and try again.

Why is it that some people think that the pyramids in egypt must have been built by aliens?

Few answers to this really, for some people its ahrd to belive that a civilization of 4000 years ago could build something we would have a hell of a hard time building so precisely and also so durable today. I also belive that some people will never belive that anyone in an "uncivilized" area like Africa could build a monument that makes anything that we know about, before it or after pale in comparison, excepting maybe the Great Wall


I'm not really sure. I think I do or maybe I don't. Sigh

Why do we have to go through 12 yrs of school?

You don't have to go through twelve years of school. You can quit high school and get a GED. As far as I know, the GED is not offered to people younger than 16. You can take the SAT earlier than that and be admitted to some colleges before you earn a GED. Few teenagers choose this option because they want the benefit of staying with their peer group through the traditional educational process. The traditional educational system is set up to keep children in school until they are old enough to care for themselves so that they don't get in trouble on the streets and so that they won't be out competing with adults in the job market.


Hello.  I was raised Southern Baptist in Texas.  I'm not sure which branch of the Baptist church you are attending, but the basic tenants of all Baptist churches are: 1) Jesus Christ is the human incarnation of God; 2) He was crucified and died for the forgiveness of the sins of all humankind; 3) He was resurrected on the third day after His death; 4) He ascended to heaven where he sits with God; 5) His gift to us when he departed was leaving us with the Holy Spirit; 6) Christ will come again at the end of the world; 7) God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit are three-in-one - the Trinity. 7) Baptism is a voluntary external demonstration of an internal acceptance of Christ as your personal savior.\n\nAfter those basic facts, churches can vary widely on their interpretation of Biblical events and on their doctrinal beliefs.  The book of Revelations provides great material for debates in the Baptist church.  Baptist churches are also largely evangelical - they believe in sharing the word of God with others and inviting outside people to visit the church and worship with them.  The Baptist church is not generally a place where you will hear a pastor say "our denomination is the only one that has it right."  Baptists generally believe that all denominations of Christianity are worshiping the same God and the same Christ, but that there are ceremonial and some doctrinal differences in the way the worship services are conducted.  I hope this information helps!  Please let me know if you would like to discuss the topic further.  \n\nBy the way, one of the previous respondents mentioned that women were treated as second-class citizens.  I have to say that I wonder what Baptist church this person has visited.  I taught Sunday School at my church from a very young age and was a very respected person (regardless of gender) there.  Women and men held equal positions in the church council, and were given equal voice.  While I'm sure that there are unfortunate areas of the United States where gender discrimination occurs in and out of church, I am proud to say I have not encountered it. Also, I am Mexican-American.  I never encountered racism in my church.  I did encounter racism in my public high school, and even in the work force, but the church was always a haven where everyone was welcome and treated with respect.  I hope and pray that you find a church home that follows the most basic teaching of Christ: "Love one another".  -Amy

Does yahoo fantasy football give you the option for a keepers league?

No they don't give you the option, but i have done keepers on Yahoo in the past....what you need to do is have everyone submit the players they want to keep then start a new league the next year, all you need is someone to keep records and to have everyone be resposible and draft the players they opted to keep. It takes a little work, but is well worth it in the end!

What's "leaven" in "a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump" said x2 to "carnal" & "bewitched" Christians?

"pride" The analogy of leaven or yeast, is that it puffs up the dough through a form of corruption via bacteria. Any bread maker will tell you that a little bit of "starter" can create an entirely new batch of dough. That piece of that dough can also be used as a starter. Hence the analogy of sin--especially pride.

How is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on luggage?

Everything is a matter of necessity. The fact that mankind seemed perfectly content to drag a large case around simply meant that no one took the time to look at the problem. In the case of the moon America was in the space race (also the invention of the atom bomb) and spent billions of dollars, located the brightest scientist, and used the best resources to beat Russia, (who in all respects won). It was a matter of necessity in the minds of the people in power to solve that problem and they did. Just think, if the government would drive that much time and money into finding an alternative fuel source. The possibilities could be amazing!

How do you say "ONG" (Organisation Non Gouvernementale) in English ?


Why might an accused person want his case heard in another country?

Usually the accused person has only a limited ability to control where his case will be heard.  The prosecutor who charges him chooses the venue of the trial, although the accused can argue that the venue is wrong for various reason. (I am talking about criminal trials because you used the term "accused." )  In general, an accused person might ask that the trial be dismissed and brought in another country if that is where the allegedly wrongful behavior occurred.  The accused might want it moved because; 1) the law is more favorable in the other country; 2) the courts are more favorable in the other country; 3) the government or prosecutors are more favorable in the other country, or 4) he believes a jury would be more favorable to him or his actions in the other country.  It could even be the case that the behavior in question is not illegal in the other country.  Lastly, one other possible reason is that the penalties are less in another country.  For example, the United States has the death penalty for many crimes in which it would not permitted in other countries (and some countries will not extradict people to be tried in the US for that reason.)\n\n(A note about Polanski -- in his case he was not the accused, he in fact was the person suing Vanity Fair, and he sued in London not only because he can't return to the United States, but also because England has libel laws much more favorable to a well-known public figure than does the United States.  Essentially in the US a famous person has to prove the publication was known to be false and meant to hurt the figure -- in England just the falsity needs to be shown.)

In astronomy, heliocentrism is the theory that the Sun is at the center of the Universe and/or the Solar System. The word is derived from the Greek (Helios = "Sun" and kentron = "Center"). Historically, heliocentrism is opposed to geocentrism and currently to modern geocentrism, which places the earth at the center. (The distinction between the Solar System and the Universe was not clear until modern times, but extremely important relative to the controversy over cosmology and religion.

What's the best way to teach a left handed 5 year old how to use  scissors effectively. I am right handed.

I guarantee u it isnt an easy job to teach left handed people how to do things when you arent left handed yourself. Well what I have done is bought a pair of normal kid scissors for left or right handed and practiced myself a bit then when I thought I had  a good hand on it, Then I'd help the child position their hand in the scissors and on the paper and using the hand over hand technique helped to teach the child. of cource when they do it alone they'll position their hands more comfortably for them. Hope this was helpful.


how to shutdown others computer on network?

Shutting down computer can be done though software like RAdmin 3.0 ir LANdesk. These software programs are remote management programs that have the capibility to take control of a PC in use and shut it down. Microsoft, though Remote Desktop Connection, can allow someone to Login Remotely to another PC on a network, logging off the current user then allowing that PC to be shut down provided you have administrative rights to that PC. In any case, these solutions cost money but have powerful enough solutions to what and why you want to shutdown other computers on your network.


what is the main ingredient in cocaine, where does it come from and what are the side efects of this drug?

it is extracted from the coca plant in south america, BUT there are so many other things that are in most batches of cocaine (meaning cocaine is "cut with" other products) such as analgesic drugs or even things like vitamin c or talcom powder, and most street coke is only around 40% pure cocaine...so its hard to say what the main ingredient is.\n\nthe side effects depend on the frequency of use, how long you have been using, and how much you blow. an occaisonal user will probably experience little to no side effects, while a moderate user (once or twice a week) may begin to experince a "drained" feeling somewhere around 30-60 minutes after use, or a slight increase in irritability or other such things. a heavy user (every day, multiple times a day) will experience a pretty harsh come-down where one would feel exhausted, depressed, and like there is no point to doing anything because everything feels so BLAH and the only important or fun thing is drugs. they start to have mood swings, become irritated easily, paranoid, insomnia sets in which causes one to do more and more coke throughout the day to stay awake and live. it effects your life and your friends and at some point its hard to function in a normal day. pretty soon you NEED it, coke is all you think about. you think about when you can do it next, how much you have left, and where you can get it when you run out....\n\ni think that is probably all i can say at this point.

I am trying to find out if I draw disability can i still work some and get a pay check?

yes,you may. however there is a monthly $$ limit, and you must advise Social security when you start working.  After a period of time (e.g. 6 mos), they will reevaluate your case to see if you still qualify as disabled.  Call social security to verify limits beforehand. If you go over the limit your allowed, you then owe them $2 for every  $1 over.


im thinking about getting limewire on my computer are there any reasons why i shouldn't?

Look for LimeWire Pro. Not the original version. You can get the Pro version from Bittorrent downloading like from torrentspy.com (look up bittorrent for more info) Once you have Lime Wire Pro, you have to look at various things before downloading -- for example any song or mp3 usually is about 2500 - 4000 kbs in size, so if you see Nickleback - Photograph and its only 48Kb in size dont donwload it. Also download the songs/files with the most users sharing that file. Lastly its not entirley the viruses that are the problem, those arent really as damaging anymore. Nowadays its more based on spyware/adware. So download a copy of Microsoft Anti-Spyware from Microsoft.Com, and scan once a week if your downloading songs/movies/files/etc.  good Luck!

Which substance influences the colour of skin ?

The evolution of the different skin colors is thought to have occurred as follows: the haired ancestor of humans, like modern great apes, had light skin under their hair. Once the hair was lost, they evolved dark skin, needed to prevent low folate levels since they lived in sun-rich Africa. (The skin cancer connection is probably of secondary importance, since skin cancer usually kills only after the reproductive age and therefore doesn't exert much evolutionary pressure.) When humans migrated to sun-poorer regions in the north, low vitamin D3 levels became a problem and light skin color evolved.\n\nDark-skinned people who live in sun-poor regions often lack vitamin D3, one reason for the fortification of milk with vitamin D in some countries.\n\nThe Inuit are a special case: even though they live in an extremely sun-poor environment, they have retained their relatively dark skin. This can be explained by the fact that their traditional animal-based diet provides plenty of vitamin D.\n\nAlbinism is a condition characterized by the absence of melanin, resulting in white skin and hair; it is caused by a genetic mutation.\n\nResearch on skin color variability:\nThe color of human skin varies from dark brown to pale pink. In attempting to discover the mechanisms that have generated such a wide variation in human skin color, Nina Jablonski and George Chaplin (2000) discovered that there is a high correlation between the coloration of the human skin of indigenous peoples and the average annual ultraviolet (UV) radiation available for skin exposure where the indigenous peoples live. Accordingly, Jablonski and Chaplin plotted the whiteness (W) of skin coloration of indigenous peoples who have stayed in the same geographical area for the last 500 years versus the annual UV available for skin exposure (AUV) for over 200 indigenous persons and found that whiteness W of skin coloration is related to to the annual UV available for skin exposure AUV according to\n\n    W = 70 - [(AUV)/(10)]\n\n(Jablonski and Chaplin (2000), p. 67, formula coefficients have been rounded to one-figure accuracy) where the whiteness W of skin coloration is measured as the percentage of light reflected from the upper inner arm at which location on humans there should be minimal tanning of human skin due to personal exposure to the sun; a lighter skinned human would reflect more light and would have a higher W number. Judging from the above linear fit to the empirical data, the theoretical maximum whitest human skin would reflect only 70 per cent of incident light for a hypothetical indigenous human-like population that lived where there was zero annual UV available for skin exposure (AUV = 0 in the above formula). Jablonski and Chaplin evaluated average annual UV available for skin exposure AUV from satellite measurements that took into consideration the measured daily variation in the thickness of the ozone layer that blocked UV hitting the earth, measured daily variation in opacity of cloud cover, and daily change in angle at which the sunlight containing UV radiation strikes the earth and passes through different thicknesses of earth's atmosphere at different latitudes for each of the different human indigenous peoples' home areas from 1979 to 1992.\n\nJablonski and Chaplin proposed an explanation for the observed variation of untanned human skin with annual UV exposure. By Jablonski and Chaplin's explanation, there are two competing forces affecting human skin color:\n\n   1. the melanin that produces the darker tones of human skin serves as a light filter to protect against too much UV light getting under the human skin where too much UV causes sunburn and disrupts the synthesis of precursors necessary to make human DNA; versus\n   2. humans need at least a minimum threshold of UV light to get deep under human skin to produce vitamin D, which is essential for building and maintaining the bones of the human skeleton.\n\nJablonski and Chaplin

If we had a "Liberal" President, what would she do differently than GWB to win the War Against Terrorism?

Well, first let me say that I hate the terms "War on Terror" or "War on Terrorism." "Terror" is an emotion and "Terrorism" is a tactic. It's like saying "War on sadness," or "War on air-power."\n\nThat said, I think that we still would have invaded Afghanistan and deposed the Taliban. That would have been a priority for any president.\n\nHowever, I don't think that a liberal president would have then invaded Iraq. There was simply not enough evidence to warrant such a huge cost (financially and in terms of lives lost).\n\nI would hope that a liberal president would put this so-called war on the back burner and instead address some of the more pressing problems in our country. 9/11 was a terrible tragedy. As a New Yorker, you don't have to tell me this, but Bush fumbled the aftermath to an incredible degree. We still don't have bin Laden, we invaded a sovereign nation (I thought only bad guys did that), the economy is in the toilet. He's doing a terrible job. He uses the "war on terror" as a smokescreen to hide behind. It's his way to distract us from the real problems.\n\nI think that a liberal president would have behaved the same way in Afghanistan, avoided a needless conflict with Iraq, and put those resources to where they are most needed. Here. At home. \n\nHopefully the next president will find away to get health-care to Americans who need it, support for independent businessmen, and give disaster relief to Americans when they need it most. And that would just be the beginning.\n\nTo sum up, "The War on Terror" cannot be won. It is a tactic that we can try to defend against, but the mindset behind it will always remain one step ahead of us. It is the price we pay for living in a free society. We cannot sacrifice freedom for security. We must accept this and focus on problems that have solutions.


What section of your brain is the section that deals with fear responses?

The amygdala.  The "fight or flight" response is a hippocanthic thing...


This is very true.. especially since I have never experienced an orgasm..  I find that even though I have never climaxed in my life( by the way I have been sexually active since the age of 18 and I am 22) I still enjoy sex. I enjoy the emotional connection I feel with the person rather than physical. Don't get me wrong I enjoy the physical aspect. But what truly makes me feel satisfied is the feeling of oneness with the person I am sharing my body with.


Assuming you're asking about a plain ol' atomic bomb, the process at its heart is called fission. At the core of such a bomb is a relatively unstable material, like uranium. Surrounding this core is a shaped explosive charge. When this charge is set off, the core material undergoes tremendous compression, increasing its density to the point that individual sub-atomic particles (neutrons) ram together which releases more particles which ram together, which releases more particles, and so on. Each particle collision releases energy --- nuclear fission has occurred and the bomb detonates.

Is it true that Kirlian photos of Idols shows the energy in it?

Kirlian photographs don't show auras anywhere at any time in any thing. All that Kirlian photographs show is the dispersal pattern of water molecules ionised by an electric field. No aura of any sort is produced.\n\nIf you are asking if you can produce a Kirlian photograph of an idol then the answer is yes, provided the idol is moist and not in a vacuum. You can produce a Kirlian photograph of anything if it is moist and not in a vacuum. You can produce a Kirlian photograph of a garden gnome provided you wet it with the hose first. In fact you can produce a Kirlian photograph of the garden hose itself.\n\nKirlian photographs are a hoax, a fraud, a scam for the gullible. Unless you want to suggest that garden gnomes and garden hoses also have 'auras' that much is obvious.


It depends on what kind of a port your printer has.  There are different types of printer ports such as the parallel port (a really large one with lots of pics), USB (small one like the one that your computer mouse or the webcam has with no pins), etc.  First verify what ports are available on your computer.  Then plug the data cord of the printer with the paraller or USB port into the back of the computer.  Also plug the power cord into the power outlet.  The printer also comes with a software installation disc and a manual.  You can refer to that for more detailed instructions on setting up the printer.

The song is about the Gorillaz's sentiments on their current situation, post-platiunum album success.  Basicaly, 2-D is unhappy with the band's situation (fame, money, etc.) and sees how his bandmates, mostly Murdock, are enjoying the fame, money, and women.  The song is about how this is not what he intended for the group when they got together.  At the same time, the songs talks about how these are things that 2-D cannot escape.  He sees Noodle outside with the windmill, and to 2-D, that is the idea place (state of mind) to be because Noodle has known all along that this would happen to the group.

how long does my grandaughter have to live with chari malformation#1. what are the states?

First of all my heart goes out to you and your granddaughter.  I was diagnosed in 1999 with ACM1 have not had surgery but deal daily with the pressure and other symptoms.  I don't know what to say about the pressure after a decompression surgery. I can tell you when the pressure is built up it is very painful and one wants to do whatever they can to be rid of it.  Making lifestyle changes and having appropriate pain medicine and a knowledgable Neurologist/Neurosurgeon goes a long way.

is there an easy way to program and operate a race scanner? The manual included with my scanner sucks.?

Well the easiest way with some newer scanners is there is a computer hook up and you can get software from:\nhttp://www.butel.nl/\n\nIf you need frequencies you can get them from here for free\nhttp://radioreference.com/modules.php?name=RR\n\nHere is where you can find NASCAR frequencies.\nhttp://www.nationalradiodata.com/scanner-frequencies-frameset.jsp?racingfrequencies-home.html\n\nWhat type of scanner do you have? If is a Uniden BC72xlt, you can turn on all the "Close-call" bands and then use the close call feature when at race events, or you can search for frequencies of the dirvers using the  6 pre programed searches

How old is the original Pink Panther cartoon?

It began in 1963 for the movie The Pink Panther, starring Peter Sellers at Inspector Clouseau in chase of a stolen diamond called the Pink Panther. The animated figure was used during the opening and closing credits.\nLater in 1964, a Pink Panther cartoon series also began and was broadcast weekly as part of the Saturday morning cartoon lineup ... I believe on NBC.

how are s waves and p waves used to find the epicenter of an earthquake?

P Waves are compressional waves that vibrate in the same direction as they are traveling, and travel about 5000 meters/second (16,000 feet/second).  S-waves are shear waves which vibrate perpendicular to the direction they are traveling, and move only about 58% as fast as the P waves. The difference in arrival times of the two waves can be used to determine the distance they have traveled from the epicenter. By using two or more seismic stations the direction of travel can be determined and the epicenter pinpointed.

i have a 20 month old girl, very active and social, would she enjoy a disney cruise?

I believe you both would have a great time. It is fun for all ages. You on the other hand will be able to remember it for the rest of your life, she most likely will not. However, there is nothing like taking a little one to see Disney characters to look at the expression on their face, something that will be priceless for you. You can't get the time back, so you might as well enjoy it as much as you can while she is still young. Definately take a video camera and camera, too many photo opps to miss, I still love looking back and the video and pictures from my vacations when I was young. My mom has a tape from when she was little and it is priceless to her. It is the best way for her to recall her childhood and her parents who she has since lost. \n\nIf you can afford I would take her on a cruise while she is young. She will enjoy it a lot now and you will never forget it. Then take her again when she is a little older. If you can take her as she falls into the age group for each of the different kids clubs. They are so much fun and a different experience for each age. \n\nHope this helps


who do u think will win the CAF fooball game (africa nation football cup) ?


I've heard a pound of fat is equivalent to 3500 (or 2500 Calories)? which is it and is it that simple?

It's 3500 calories.  And no it's not that simple as some will lead you to believe.  \n\nYou don't mention anything about your diet so I don't actually know how many calories you're consuming on a daily basis (or what foods).  The main idea is to maintain a calorie deficit so if you're not losing weight, chances are you're consuming more than your expending.\n\nMake sure you make wise food decisions:\nhttp://preventdisease.com/fitness/nutrition/articles/healthyeating.html.\n\nTry and make sure your last meal is 5 hours before you sleep.  If you must have something after that point it should only be a protein shake or water.  Stick to complex carbs (brown rice, potatoes) before 6pm and no carbs after 6pm.  Balance acid forming foods with base forming food to optimize digestion.\nhttp://preventdisease.com/fitness/nutrition/articles/acid_alkaline.html#\n\nCutting 500 calories a day will do nothing if your exceeding your calorie expediture.  For energy requirements, the first thing you have to do is assess your BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate)& AMR (Active Metabolic Rate) to assess your daily energy requirements. \n\nhttp://preventdisease.com/healthtools/articles/bmr.html\n\nOnce you have established how many calories you burn per day, your goal should then be to maintain the calorie deficit on a daily basis for gradual weight loss is achieved.  If your goal is to cut back on 500 calories through exercise and your combined BMR & AMR is 3000, then you better be sure you are not consuming more than 2500 calories.\n\nTrack your progress daily in a journal and tweak either your diet or activity level according to your progress until you get it right.\n\nIt's doubtful you are burning 700-800 calories by walking 50 minutes unless you are over 250 pounds and your rate is very brisk.  Use this calculator to help you figure it out.\n\nhttp://preventdisease.com/healthtools/articles/while_walking200.html

How do you make an identical copy of your hard drive so all files are backed up?


what do microbes need in order to reproduce and grow?

A happy environment and the proper nutrients.\n\nMicrobes like all life, need the basics.\n\nShelter, in this case a substarte or media to grow. This could be agar in a test tube, or an infected cut on your hand. They need energy. This could be from the sun in the case of an algae or from nutrients found in a medium like blood.\n\nIf they have the basics, bacteria will grow and grow. Thisis why an infection can get out of control. The human body makes a great incubatr for bacteria and if unchecked they will take advantage of it.\n\nEach species is different in the specific needs. Some will like salt water, other will need more electrolytes, others need more protein, so it does matter what species of bacteria you are culturing. In a lab, this is usually done in an agar or medium. This is either a liquid or gel that is packed with certain nutrients and innoculated with the bacteria and incubated for growth.

where is the best place to move if you are trying to start fresh?

The best place is a process of elimination ....\n\nFirst, no family. Moving to a place that is at least a one days drive away from the closest family generally keeps them out of your business.\n\nSecond, no friends. Who did you go to school with and where did they move to? Stay away from those places, because an old reputation that you do not deserve anymore may pop up at the most inappropriate time, ruining your fresh start.\n\nThird, no bad climate. Determine what you like in your environment, cold, wet, dry, hot, whatever, and avoid the areas of the map that do not have those characteristics. If you are going to start fresh, you might as well start comfortable, right?\n\nAfter all that, you should be able to find a general area that you might like. Then it is time to research those areas that are left to see where you want to end up.\n\nGood luck to you.

What is the best way to get someone to like u without scaring them?

I don't really think you can get someone to like you, but you can certainly get someone to notice you.  Talk to them, compliments are good, flirt, eye contact, smiles, if your bold enough ask them if they would like to have coffee or lunch sometime.  I would avoid dinner as it can be a bit much for people on a first date with a stranger.  Be yourself and maybe theyll like you, then again, you may find that you really arent interested in them.  It could go where you would never expect.  I would say setting out to orchestrate a relationship is a bit scary and usually doesnt end well, so be cool.  Have fun!  :)


The easiest solution maybe to open the word perfect file in word. Select all the text and copy it. \n\nThen make a new document go to edit > Paste Special select the option for plain text or no formatting. \n\nYou will loose all the formatting (bold, sizing etc) but This should make all the text editable. You can then change all formating. \n\nAnother solution would be to download OpenOffice (free link below) open the WordPerfect file in OpenOffice then save it as a Word document. \n\nIt may be a good idea in the future to make WordPerfect save the file as a word document.

What happenes if you default on a 401K loan?

If you fail to pay your 401k loan, then you are taxed on it as if you would have taken a regular distribution. (Tax + Penalty for early distribution).\n\nThe amount that you owe is deducted from your total 401k amount.\n\nFor example.  If you take a 401k loan for $1000, and you have $3000 in your 401k and you quit your job, then the $1000 is deducted from your $3000 leaving you with a $2000 401k total.\n\nThe $1000 is also treated like a "distribution".  In other words, it's treated like an early withdrawal.  So at the end of the year, you owe a 43% penalty on the $1000, or $430 in taxes.  (33% income tax [or whatever your income tax rate is], 10% penalty).\n\nFurther more, since that $1000 is treated like regular income, it may push you into a higher tax bracket.

how to subtract using the left-over or add-on method?

There are many ways. For example to subtract 9 from 14 we add 1 to each number and then subtract. 15-10=5.\nAnother way is to add numbers to 9 till we get 14.\n9+1=10; 10+4=14; and the answer is 1+4=5.\n  Another way is to subtract more than the number to be subtracted and add the excess. Subtract 10 instead of 9 from 14 to get 4. Having subtracted 1 \nin excess we add 1 to 4 to get 5.

Well, very few kids are being left behind, in theory it appears to be working. That said, the quality of education that everyone is getting has been greatly reduced.  So, no one is left behind, but now they are all dumber than before.  Teachers have to only teach the TEST now, otherwise the school fails the tests and they say its because the teachers are bad.  So, learing has been reduced to what is on a standardized test to make test scores look good.  Teachers hate it, it hampers their ability to teach.

cut  because we know the guy can feel it more! and it is less unsightly when going down town!!!


Yes you can. I'm a mechanical engineering student and for my friend's senior project they have to design the landing gear for an amphibious aircraft (a seaplane) and figure out a way to mass produce them. Their sponsor built it from scratch and spare parts. He had no plans or dimensions, so they had to look up the specs for all the parts and measure sections. I would imagine it took him a lot of money to do all this. I guess in theory it sounds like a pretty cool project.

Tamagotchi, the original virtual pet, first made its impact in pop culture history when Bandai launched the product in 1996, selling more then 40 million units worldwide and 12 million units in the United States and Canada. The launch of Tamagotchi not only spurred the virtual pet phenomenon of the 90s, but it also created a brand new toy category and prompted countless virtual pet imitators. During its peak, 15 Tamagotchi units were sold every minute in the U.S. and Canada.\n\nThe originator of Tamagotchi is none other then Bandai employee, Aki Maita, who was searching for the perfect companion that worked with her busy lifestyle and small apartment, and that was tiny enough for her to tote around with her wherever she went. Thus born the world's first virtual pet.

Can you prove this trivial statement about points and straight lines?

milkyway: \nI think your answer is incomplete. Unfortunately, I don't have my own proof, but let me criticize yours. \nSorry.:-)\n\nWhat is definitely proven by induction in your post is that you are able to construct an acceptable set of N points. However, in my view, your reasoning does not prove the statement for a given set.\n\n1. From the very beginning, you have N points. How can one realize the induction scheme in this case? Perhaps, you mean that you can temporarily erase N-3 points (keeping in mind their positions) and start with 3 points forming a triangle, or "3 couples" in your terms. Then you restore the erased points one by one at their positions.  I believe this should be explained in your proof. \n\n2. Note that if you start with 3 aligned points, by "restoring" the 4th point, you can generate an allowed set of N+1 points out of the prohibited set of N points. This is missing in your proof, where you deal only with allowed N-sets.  \n\nBut this is not the most serious flaw there.\n\n3. You write: "now, this way there always are the old two couples, plus two new couples (new point-non aligned point of each of such two couples). So going from N to N+1, the number of acceptable couples is always >=3."  \n\nI disagree with this statement. \n\nIndeed, imagine that the three couples, which work at the stage N, form a triangle. Aligning the newly "restored" point with one side of the triangle, you kill one working couple. Still you have the two remaining old couples and get a possibly working new couple (new point -- non aligned point of the triangle). However, it is not at all guaranteed that there is no other point lying on the line going through this new possibly working couple. If such point exists, the number of working couples in this case gets reduced from 3 to 2 when going from N to N+1. At the next step, this way I will reduce the number of working couples from 2 to 1 and so on.\n\nThe transition from N to N+1 is therefore not justified.\n\n4. A general question. For N=infinity the statement is false for points located at nodes of a regular \n(say, square) lattice. Doesn't it contradict to the very idea of proving this statement by induction?\n\n\n------------------------------\n\n\n\n\nHere is my proof.\n\nGiven a set of N points, the number of all possible couples is M=N(N-1)/2.\n\nFor each couple draw a straight line going through it. We get M lines.\n\nLet us assume that the statement we are going to prove is false: i.e., none of those M lines goes through ONLY TWO points.\n\nThen, of course, each of those M lines coincides with at least the two other lines, so the actual number of distinguishable lines K < M.\n\nWe have N points and K different lines.\n\nEach of the NK pairs (point + line) is characterised by a distance S(n,k) between  the point n and the line k. \n\nThis distance S(n,k) is defined as a length of a segment perpendicular to the line k with one of the ends lying on the line k and the other end coinciding with the point n.\n\nLet us list all the NK distances S(n,k). Since NK is a finite integer number, one can find the shortest value (or several equal shortest values) of S(n,k). \n\nTake a closer look at the point P and the line L with the shortest S(n=P,k=L).\n\nBy assumption, there are at least three points (L1,L2, and L3) lying on the line L. Therefore, at least two of these three points (say, L1 and L2) can be found to the one side (say, to the right) of the point A where the perpendicular to the line L starting at the point P hits the line L. The case when one of the three points (say, L1) coincides with the point A is treated in exactly the same way.\n\nNow we have a triangle (P-L1-L2), with two vertices L1 and L2 lying on the line L to the right of A in the order A,L1,L2 from left to right. \n\nSince L1 lies to the right of A (or coincides with A), the angle between P-L1 and L1-L2 is greater than (or equal to) pi/2.\n\nTherefore t


Is there a correlation between cracking your knuckles and arthritis?

A single event is not enough to cause damage to the joint, although it is possible that prolonged joint stress due to cracking knuckles may eventually lead to a higher risk of joint damage. The long-term consequences of this practice have not been studied thoroughly, and the scientific evidence is inconclusive. However, the common parental advice "Cracking your knuckles gives you arthritis" may be simply a device to deter children from this practice, which many people find annoying because of the sound it makes. In actual fact, study by Castellanos and Axelrod showed that arthritis was not a product of knuckle cracking. They evaluated 300 consecutive outpatients at Mount Carmel Mercy Hospital to determine whether habitual knuckle cracking is a risk factor for hand dysfunction. They found no relation with osteoarthritis, but noted that 'knuckle crackers were more likely to have hand swelling and lower grip strength'

what are the applications of radioactive isotopes in glucose metabolism?

PET scans for brain imaging.  PET stands for positron emmision tomography. This is used to map where in the body metabolism is occuring by having a person take in small amounts of radioactive sugar (by injection), and then seeing where in the body sugar is being uptaken the most, by looking at the release of positrons by the decay of the radioactive label on the sugar.\n\nThis is used to assess where activity is occuring in the brain, to see where tumor cells might be growing at rapid rates, and a few other purposes.


What would physically happen to your body if you had a straight orgasm for a couple hours?

True, but my guess is we would have a smile on our face! But a couple of hours? I'm thinking a definite problem is existing in your nerve responses.

I'm not sure if walking will be in order, but I think numbness is a definite maybe. What a thought! Not that I'm willing to try......but what a thought!


Is ethnicity at all important When trying to get a girl. I have been trying to get a girl and is not working.?

When it comes to 'love' ethnicity is not an issue. However, you will soon realize that if you and your partner share a different ethnicity, there will be a lot of obstacles that you and her will face.  In some extreme cases, you or her may not even be accepted by the other's family.\n\nI have seen many mix ethnicity relationship turn out to a very beautiful pair.  My advice with you is to go for it.  If you truly love her, there is no obstacles you can't overcome!!


Has anyone recently (within the last couple of years) filed for bankruptcy and had school loans discharged?

There is a way that a school loan can be discharged with a bankruptcy. \n\nFirstly let me explain my situation and what happened to me. I had a student loan that was in default, I worked with them to get it off my credit report after one year by paying them a sum of money on time (which actually happened to my suprise).\n\nI had to pay off the rest in timely monthly payments and when there was six months left they paid the rest off for me.\n\nNow how to get a student loan discharged with a bankruptcy.\n\nWhat needs to be done is to have someone or some agency pay off the loan with a conventional loan to you and then you don't owe the government any longer you would owe a regular loan which is covered under bankruptcy.\n\nAny type of FEDERAL DEBT owed to the government is owed until it is PAYED OFF.

what is a really great childrens book for the age of 1-5?

When I was little, my parents read me stories out of a book with a collection of stories. For example, "My Ladybird Book of 10 Storytime Tales". \nAlso, these are good books/book series:\nStellaluna\nVerdi\nIf You Give A Mouse A Cookie series\nWinnie the Pooh\nClifford\nMaisy\nCorduroy Bear \nCurious George\nWild Thing\nPeter Rabbit\nFranklin Turtle\n\nFor the younger children (1-3), it is better to get board books (or the books made of felt or cloth) because they don't rip as easily and they can go in a child's mouth without ruining the book.
