Copyright Secured Automatically upon Creation\n\nThe way in which copyright protection is secured is frequently misunderstood. No publication or registration or other action in the Copyright Office is required to secure copyright. (See following Note.) There are, however, certain definite advantages to registration. See "Copyright Registration."\n\nCopyright is secured automatically when the work is created, and a work is "created" when it is fixed in a copy or phonorecord for the first time. "Copies" are material objects from which a work can be read or visually perceived either directly or with the aid of a machine or device, such as books, manuscripts, sheet music, film, videotape, or microfilm. "Phonorecords" are material objects embodying fixations of sounds (excluding, by statutory definition, motion picture soundtracks), such as cassette tapes, CDs, or LPs. Thus, for example, a song (the "work") can be fixed in sheet music (" copies") or in phonograph disks (" phonorecords"), or both.\n\nIf a work is prepared over a period of time, the part of the work that is fixed on a particular date constitutes the created work as of that date.\n\nIf this answer is indeed the best, please rank it as such.

of course they move very slowly\nso slowly that it is not noticeable\n\nSpeed of glacial movement\nThe speed of glacial displacement is partly determined by friction. Friction makes the ice at the bottom of the glacier move slower than the upper portion. In alpine glaciers, friction is also generated at the valley's side walls, which slows the edges relative to the center. This has been confirmed by experiments in the 19th century, in which stakes were planted in a line across an alpine glacier, and as time passed, those in the center moved further.\n\nMean speeds vary; some have speeds so slow that trees can establish themselves among the deposited scourings. In other cases they can move as fast as many meters per day, as is the case of Byrd Glacier, an overflowing glacier in Antarctica which moves 750-800 meters per year (some 2 meters (6 ft) per day), according to studies using satellites.\n\nMany glaciers have periods of very rapid advancement called surges.[2] These glaciers exhibit normal movement until suddenly they accelerate, then return to their previous state. During these surges, the glacier may reach velocities up to 1000 times greater than normal.

Depends on how drastic you wanna be. Even after formating some data can still be recovered by someone who knows what he/she is doing.\n\nMy Solution:\n1) Boot pc with boot disk.\n2) Use Fdisk to delte partition and recreate it \n3) Use the Format C: /U command (unconditional format)\n4) Bootup with windows XP or 2000 cd and when installing choose format as NTFS partition.\n\nNote: When deleting the current partition and recreating it as either fat or fat32 and afterwards reformating as NTFS it makes it virtualy impossible to do a data recovery on the disk.

When i become a depandant (in the eyes of Fafsa) will I qualify for more loan money through the government?

It completely depends upon your income (if independent) and/or the income or your parent or guardian (if you are their dependent).  As far as FAFSA is concerned, becoming independent means that there is no one else besides you that can be held responsible for the costs of your education.  Therefore, you could stand to make out pretty well with government loans if your personal income is less than that of your parents.  \nI was just going through making this decision myself because, although I am financially independent, FAFSA still considers me my parents' dependent because I am not yet 24 (when you turn 24 you become an "Adult Student" in the eyes of FAFSA, whatever that means...).  I would get much more financial aid if I could file independently, but they will not allow me to.


what are good (and practical) time management techniques?

I would recommend two options:\n\n1) Get hold of a copy of 'First Things First' by Stephen Covey. It is around the notion of important and urgent and how one can identify these on a daily and weekly basis\n\n2) A simple story which might help you in saving some time instead of reading the book :)\n\nA teacher comes into class one day with a glass container full of big rocks and asks the class if the container was full or not?\n\nThe students say Yes after which the teacher gets some gravel and pours it into the container through the rocks.\nTeacher: "Is the container full now?"\nStudents: "Yes"\n\nthe teacher now gets some sand and pours it into the container which slips in through the rocks and gravel.\nTeacher: "Is the container full now?"\nStudents: "Absolutely Yes "\n\nTeacher gets water and pours it into the container which slips in through the rocks, gravel and sand to eventually fill up the container.\n\nMoral of the story: Identify the rocks in your life (or day) and get them in first - everything else can adapt. Imagine trying to get anything in to the container if  one started with water!

Are we able to creat a BlackHole... or how it's created?

yes!!\n\nBlack holes are predictions of Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity. In particular, they occur in the Schwarzschild metric, one of the earliest and simplest solutions to Einstein's equations, found by Karl Schwarzschild in 1915. This solution describes the curvature of spacetime in the vicinity of a static and spherically symmetric object, where the metric is\n\n    ds^2 = - c^2 \left( 1 - {2Gm \over c^2 r} \right) dt^2 + \left( 1 - {2Gm \over c^2 r} \right)^{-1} dr^2 + r^2 d\Omega^2,\n\nwhere d\Omega^2 = d\theta^2 + \sin^2\theta\; d\phi^2 is a standard element of solid angle.\n\nAccording to Schwarzschild's solution, a gravitating object will collapse into a black hole if its radius is smaller than a characteristic distance, known as the Schwarzschild radius. Below this radius, spacetime is so strongly curved that any light ray emitted in this region, regardless of the direction in which it is emitted, will travel towards the center of the system. Because relativity forbids anything from travelling faster than light, anything below the Schwarzschild radius – including the constituent particles of the gravitating object – will collapse into the center. A gravitational singularity, a region of theoretically infinite density, forms at this point. Because not even light can escape from within the Schwarzschild radius, a classical black hole would truly appear black.\n\nThe Schwarzschild radius is given by\n\n    r_s = {2\,Gm \over c^2}\n\nwhere G is the gravitational constant, m is the mass of the object, and c is the speed of light. For an object with the mass of the Earth, the Schwarzschild radius is a mere 9 millimeters — about the size of a marble.\n\nThe mean density inside the Schwarzschild radius decreases as the mass of the black hole increases, so while an earth-mass black hole would have a density of 2 × 1030 kg/m3, a supermassive black hole of 109 solar masses has a density of around 20 kg/m3, less than water! The mean density is given by\n\n    \rho=\frac{3\,c^6}{32\pi m^2G^3}\n\nSince the Earth has a mean radius of 6371 km, its volume would have to be reduced 4 × 1026 times to collapse into a black hole. For an object with the mass of the Sun, the Schwarzschild radius is approximately 3 km, much smaller than the Sun's current radius of about 700,000 km. It is also significantly smaller than the radius to which the Sun will ultimately shrink after exhausting its nuclear fuel, which is several thousand kilometers. More massive stars can collapse into black holes at the end of their lifetimes.\n\nMore general black holes are also predicted by other solutions to Einstein's equations, such as the Kerr metric for a rotating black hole, which possesses a ring singularity. Then we have the Reissner-Nordström metric for charged black holes. Last the Kerr-Newman metric is for the case of a charged and rotating black hole.\n\nThere is also the Black Hole Entropy formula:\n\nS = \frac{Akc^3}{4\hbar G}\n\nWhere A is the area of the event horizon of the black hole, \hbar is Dirac's constant (the "reduced Planck constant"), k is the Boltzmann constant, G is the gravitational constant, c is the speed of light and S is the entropy.


What is Programming from scratch? without any software?

Most Processor Chips have been shipped with some type of C compiler already programmed for them.  Most of those compilers were built from machine level code (very low level code that only the processor understands.  Called Machine Language or Assembly Language.)  Microsoft's Visual Studio has gone above the normal C compiler for processors and included Windows specific code instructions too.  C is considered a High Level language.  When a compiler compiles code in C is usually ends up into very complex string of smaller instructions.

John, I am "reverted" Muslim. I was Christian for 20 years. I have now been Muslim for almost 5 years. If you are positive that you are ready to become a Muslim than go to your nearest mosque and ask to take the Shehada. You go in front of usually the imam (Muslim priest in a sense)and a witness, and declare "Ashedo illeh illeha il-Allah, wa ashedo anna Mohamed rasul Allah" -"I confess that there is no God beside God, and I confess that Mohamed is the messenger of God" If you are not sure yet, then I would suggest that you get more information about Islam through a local mosque. Yes, it is true that your religion is your own, and it is in your heart, but professing your faith in front of other Muslims a a protection for you, so that if your faith begins to falter, your brothers and sisters can help you back up. Feel free to e-mail me with questions about Islam, or support at pikeypoodl@yahoo.com

How old do you have to be to be a High School Cheerleading coach?

It depends on the requirements of the school.  Go through the certification process, they will teach you safety & leadership skills that you can't get anywhere else (NCA has a good program).  High School is probably the most difficult age to coach.  If you're just starting out why not try to volunteer for a youth program to gain some hands-on experience?

Well.  This is a very subjective question.  I must say, that for many youths today, they are simple victems of their parents having to earn more money, and spend more time apart from the family in order to make ends meet.  The simple fact of the matter is that money requirments are just raising each day if not exponentially each year.  The more time the parents stay away from their children, either intentional or by necessity, the children must look to other places for guidance.\n\nFor many children, simply talking different, or behaving different is ascribed to what is 'cool' at the time.  And, what may you ask defines what is 'cool'?  Well that is a social interaction between children.  What they percieve as cool for others can often be percieved as what is cool for themselves.\n\nParents in general are concerned about making sure their children are safe, and are learning, as to how the child develops, ect, they usually leave that to the schools or the doctors; both of which don't really have the resources or time to spend to make the child into a more 'acceptable' adult.\n\nHowever, the aspect of violence is often subjective in today's day and age.  Many times it is just a responce to a given stimuli that the child has to face.  Because of the competitive nature of our society, those children that do not 'fit in' or are of a 'minority' group tend to be faced with many challenges from those within the 'popular' or 'majority' crowds.  Because of this violence is one of the main answers.  It is, after all, a base instinct that drives our need for survival.\n\nIf one is directly a threat we respond with either a flight or fight responce.  For many children, the fight responce is the primary.  The flight responce, due to the nature of today's society is considered cowardly, and is not looked upon by children of substantial age (those over 13).  Because of this, violence often happens, as do fights and prejudice within the social culture of children and teenagers.\n\nThe problem here is that once it has begun, it is very difficult to change the child for the better.  Mainly this is because once the stimuli has taken place, and the resonce has taken hold in the child, and the child has no other options given at the time, their brain and thought process is to work with what they are given.  In this situation it is simply the aspect of fight without any other choice.\n\nIf the child is given another choice besides fighting, or flight, but to talk, and try to disarm, then the situation is different.  But, too few parents today can see the merit of talk over fighting.  Indeed, many parents are just like their children, seeing fault in many people and then training their children to behave in a similar hateful way.\n\nReligion is also not the answer to this, because many types of religions, to include christianity, teach you to be intolerant of those who are different.  AFter all, you MUST change them into what YOU are to make them feel needed and accepted.  As this is the case with many religions out there, the aspect of religion is not the cure all.\n\nWhat can be done?  Simple accountability of the parents in regards to the child's life.  If the parents take a more active stance within thier childrens life, even if they are unable to direct the time, they can at least make some sort of effor tin other ways.  if the child doesn't feel trapped, or hindered, they won't resort to violence on the average.  Instead, they will resort to seeking out the aid of their peers and parents to resolve an issue.\n\nBut, who knows.  The social dogma today is to be a conforming christian.  If you are not one you are a minority.  If you are already a minority then you are 2x damned, and somtimes if you are of a minority of a minority 3x damned.  \n\nUntill the social stratus changes to allow for the variances within the human society, and to allow for true freedoms, then w

What if you both agreed your not in a relationship. Is it cheating?

You're either in or out.  I don't think it matters if you act like it.  If you both decided you're not a romantic couple any more, then you're free to see whomever you choose without guilt or worry.  \n\nOf course, you may be having doubts that splitting up was the right thing to do.  Maybe it wasn't even your idea.  Then, to you, seeing someone else could feel like cheating.  You have to decide for yourself whether it's really over.  As long as you're not sure it is, you'll probably continue to feel guilty about seeing other people.

I just wanna live!!! How do I get out of this slump?

Anxiety and stress can cause physical symtoms. If you are ill and do have a disease- look at the word dis ease it can manifest itself as physical. I am not saying your crazy. I am saying that if you are under a lot of stress you can make yourself very sick and then it gets worse like a vicious circle cuz your more stressed. If you feel that isn't it you will just have to find a better doctor. Go to webmd. maybe it's something that is misdiagnosed alot. Like fibromylasia or something. Go to google and type in the symtom that is most worrysome for you. Keep at finding what is wrong. Demand more testing.


What is the difference between Yahoo! and Google's online storage.Which company offers the best arrangement?

There are a lot of personal factors to be of personal importance for one person or another. Everybody could say out of one's own personal experience. I don't expect that some top analyticsl reasearch company gonna publish her results right here :-)\n\nThe most convincing is to try both for yourself, probably. After all, what if somebody convince you on one choice in favor of another one, and then you, anyway, should decide for yourself, and shift to another one out of your personal experience, when you found out that the advisor was just wrong?\n\nAnother thing is if you are just trying to collect some statistics of people opinioins.\nOr you are trying to find out if Yahoo! will erase this particular question of yours? :=)\nI'm pretty sure, Yahoo! will never do that :-) Because Yahoo! is good. Just my personal opinion ;-)


Well, To judge a music video, various factors have to be considered including the accompanying song, creativity of the director, the money involved and the overall theme. Here's my pick:\n\n1.Michael Jackson - Thriller. I salute this classic song, The most popular video till date.\n\n2.Aha - Take on Me. The most technically challenging video of its time(1984). The video shows part of the person in sketch and other parts of the real person.\n\n3.Enigma - Return To Innocence, a really creative theme, where the story rewinds from death to birth depicting the life of a person. Coldplay's Scientist  is based on the same theme too.\n\n4.Red Hot Chilli Peppers - Californication, an extreme creative concept, revolving around the character of a game. An intresting fact to know, is that no two lines in the song have any correlation or make any sense, but the song is simply excellent\n\n5.Coldplay - Speed Of Sound, the video shows a huge light display unit behind the performers, showing mysitc colours moving consistant with the beats. The artists are also put slightly out of focus. The first time I saw the video, I mistook the song as "Speed Of Light' because of the vivid use of colours\n\n6.Linkin Park - All songs are great. To appreciate their creativity, it would take me an hour to write\n\nThe Most Creative Artists - Fat Boy Slim, Coldplay, Moby, Weezer, Linkin Park, ATB\n\nThe Most Expensive Music Video Maker - Michael Jackson, always using the top of the line technology, always going in millions\n\nThe most downloaded music video on Internet and P2Ps - Madonna, Britney and Christine aguilera. Even though it was a live performance, I would simply describe it as pure entertainment. I don't need to explain why its popular.


Why is Ram for Dell computers so expensive it is called Rambus ram. ddr ram is cheap in comparison to rambus?

excerpt:\n\nSamsung Electronics, the world's largest maker of computer memory chips, pleaded guilty Wednesday to a charge it participated in a worldwide price-fixing conspiracy that damaged competition and raised PC prices.\n\nProsecutors said Samsung, which is based in Seoul, South Korea, and other companies conspired in e-mails, telephone calls and in-person meetings to fix the price of chips used in personal computers and other electronic devices.\n\nThe outcome of the investigation also is expected to help fuel a private antitrust case filed by Rambus Inc., which licensed a memory technology that had been embraced by Intel Corp., the world's largest maker of the microprocessor brains of computers.\n\nIn 1996, Intel chose Rambus technology to help speed up systems running its then-upcoming Pentium 4.\n\nBut the chip makers did not want to pay Rambus royalties. DRAM prices fell sharply - so much so that Intel agreed to support non-Rambus technology in the fall of 2001.\n\nShortly after that, DRAM prices nearly quadrupled.

Can anybody help me get discharged from the militray?

I read the answers so far concerning discharge, and I would not recommend any of them. \n\nOne has to be very careful in the advice they get from the internet. \n\nI am retired military, combat veteran, and I was also a recruiter, so I understand the regulations which cover what is called "ETS", Exit Time of Service, and the regulations which cover discharge.\n\nI am responding to you for two reasons. One, to provide you with qualified answers to your question, and to help all those who read this response, in their understanding of the enlistment and discharge process.\n\nThere is also an underlying principle which I hold to as well.\n\nThe president of this country, not to be confused with my president for he is not in any form, shape, or fashion, my president, ever!! \n\nThis current president, outright lied to the american people in starting a war with Iraq. Therefore this means, "he lied, and military personel died" - and "are dying".\n\nIn no way should anyone who reads this response should and assume that I dont support our troops. I simmply dont support their commander in chief who is a liar.  \n\nNow lets chat about the rules and reg's over you.\n\nDoes not really matter what branch of service you are in, all branches operate under what is called the "Uniform Code of Military Justice" or UCMJ, and what is also called "Standard Operating Procedures" or SOP..\n\nThese set of rules and regulations and procedures cover every aspect of enlistment and discharge.\n\nThe only way to get kicked out with a dishonorable or bad conduct discharge is to do soemthing illegal, and then be prosecuted for it at a court martial.\n\nDont go this route!!!By doing so you are placing your very life in the hands of people in uniform in the same branch you are in, who will treat you everyway evil they can get away with. And this can get real nasty and vindictive against you.\n\nLet me tell you this. The UCMJ and SOP, are not written in a way to be fair to the military member. Actually they are written in everyway unfair and unethical. \n\nOutside of a court martial, which again can bring a dishonorable or bad conduct discharge, the only two other discharges are, Honorable and General Discharge.\n\nIf you can, seek a honorable discharge and hope for a general discharge, if you wish to leave before your time of service is over. \n\nYou should also find out about Veterans benefits, which may or may not be affected in your desires to leave the military. I can help you with these two. Just ask the question, and I will answer it too herein.\n\nAfter many years of thought and experiences while on active duty, I believe the best way to get out of the military, next to serving out your regular enlistment time, is to first change your combatant status. \n\nIn other words, go to your company commander and tell them you are declaring and changing your status into what is called "Conscientious Objector" or "C.O.". I will be using the acronym "C.O." hereafter.\n\n"O.C." status, means you are telling the military you no longer wish to use any weapon to kill anyone with for any purpose whatsoever.\n\nThe bottom line in the military is this. They need people to go to war, and kill other people while doing it. \n\nYou must request discharge based on the status of "C.O." according to regulations. \n\nThis means you must first get the required paperwork from your personnel section. \n\nYou can also get the help of the chaplain and the post JAG, Judge Advocate Generals office for filling out these forms. \n\nIf I were you, and I were to declare this "C.O." status, I would use both the chaplain and JAG, and any advice my personnel section may provide. \n\nI would also use letters from my family members and even neighbors if you can acquire them; written to "whom it may concern". Have them write letters in support of your newly declared status.


Is there any web page just for military gears?

you will find a nice selection here:\n\nwww.toysrus.com\n\nwww.mattel.com


What does the word "Pottawatomie" (as in Pottawatomie County) mean?

Pottawatomi means "people of the place of fire."  See the source.


Well you have to sit and analyze what went wrong the day before. What were you in control of? What did you have no control over? If you made mistakes, figure out how you can make up for it. Look ahead. Look for the positive outcome. Instead of worrying over it, do something about it. And remember........always tell yourself you are a good person, even when you are feeling like the pits!!!


if the world is round why not the places on it?

ok here goes.  the technical scientific name for the shape of the earth which is generally accepted by the scientific community is\n\nOblaite Spheroid \n\nthe earth is not round nor is it flat or pure sphere \n\nit is an oblate spheroid.  however  if you were to either reduce the size of the earth to that of a billiard ball or alternatively increase the size of a billiard ball to that of the earth you would find that even for all its imperfections the earth is actually closer to a perfect sphere than anything man can make. also it would be much Smoother. the planet sized billiard ball would have mountain ranges 100's of times taller than our highest and valleys much lower than our lowest.  \n\nwhy things, i assume you mean cities and such, are not round is that a sphere or spheroid cannot be divided on the surface or otherwise by spheres or circles without intersecting them there would always be some space where the curves pull away from eachother.  you could put a smaller sphere in the empty space but that would only cause the spaces remaining to be smaller and more numerous down to infinity. unless you overlap the spheres /circles but then they arent circles anymore and it would be a waste of space.  \n\nthat all is assuming the world were in fact perfectly smooth which it isn't given things like topography geography and the like. shperes are not the most efficient shapes on earth.  at least not for all applications in fact they can sometimes be the least efficient. \n\nnow some places are and or were circularly built around a central point however usually this was not an economically/ financually/ geophisically  feasable option. again for reasons like coastlines rivers mountains etc.\n\nhope i answered your question withouth boring you to tears\n\nas for the bible saying the earth is flat that isnt true and he needs to read his bible more though he is correct the sun and the rest of the universe does revolve around the earth that at least i believe is biblical though i cant off the top of my head remember exactly where i think not in genesis though\n\nooh and rokon everything in the bible was written by GOD  the bible IS the UNERRANT WORD of GOD

what will happen if switch off the computer without sign out ?

It depends on what you were doing before you switched off. If you were logged on to the Internet you will be automatically logged off by your ISP. Your hard disk could get damaged. However, I have seen that in most cases people escape without any damage.  But it is not a good practice. Also, next time you log on the computer will go through a thorough check which will prolong your boot up.


Your BIOS must support booting from USB devices.  On system startup you need to get into your BIOS (usually F2 - check manufacturer's specification), and find where you can specify the boot order.  Select a low-numbered boot order item, and set it to USB-HDD (if availble, otherwise another USB option).  This may require several attempts until the right device option is found.\n\nSince most USB drives are ATAPI-compliant, your BIOS should detect it as if it were an external USB hard drive.\n\nJust make sure you specify a boot order BEFORE your internal hard drive (usually HDD, or IDE0), otherwise your system will always boot to the hard drive.\n\nAlso, you need to format the USB drive as a bootable drive.  If you can get the system to boot from a DOS, Windows or Linux floppy disk, you can try installing DOS, Windows 95/98, or Linux (Win2000, and WinXP require more than 256Mb for sytem files).  Your system will likely assign the USB drive as the C:\ drive (MAKE SURE THIS IS THE CASE BEFORE FORMATTING!!!).\n\nKeep in mind that most USB drives are slower than hard drives, so performance may not be up to par.  The newer "high-speed" drives are faster, but not comparable to a real hard drive.\n\nIf no options work, your Micro Valut may not be ATAPI-compliant, or it's USB-HDD firmware may not be compatible with your system.  I had this happen with a SanDisk Cruzer mini, but a PNY Attache worked.\n\nIf I may make one suggestion as well...make a bootable CD with your images instead.  CD's are much more rugged, and cannot be accidentally erased.  Duplicates are EXTREMELY cheaper (about 5 cents vs. $20) than the USB drive solution.  Many more BIOS' support booting from CD (for about 10 years now), so compatibility is usually not an issue.  All of the commercial CD-burning packages (including most of the LITE versions) support making bootable CD's.  The only trick is to make a bootable floppy that it can use to create the boot image on the CD.


Why sexual appetite controls the mind often?

Actually sexual appetite is caused by the increased activity of hormone testosterone in males and andosterone in females. Now with the release of either of the hormone, the brain recieves stimuli that guide our thoughts to the sexual activities and thus leading guys to "gals". The effect of the female sex hormone is also there but females have the ability to keep it off their brains..


when one steps form a shower on a cold morning, why does the tile of the floor seem so much colder than the ai

The other answer about wet bodies being colder then dry is nonsense.\n\nThe answer is in thermal conductivity and heat capacity.  Your body cannot conduct heat to the air very well; the thermal conductivity is very low. You most of the heat you conduct is to the air immediately adjacent to your body- and it takes very little body heat to warm that thin layer of air because the heat capacity of the air is low.  Since your body gave up only a little heat, it didn't feel very cold.  Blowing air feels much colder, because that thin layer of warmed air keeps getting replaced by more cold air, so you body keeps giving up heat.\n\nThe tiles on the floor have great thermal conductivity to your body, and they have a lot of heat capacity.  So your body is able to very quickly transfer heat to the floor, and it takes a lot of heat before the tiles get warm, so your body looses a lot of heat and you feel cold.

How to calculate launch window for satellite?

There are actually, typically multiple scales to an Earth-orbit launch window, one being on the order of days long and the other being a time window within each day.  Furthermore, windows for interplanetary shots may open only every several years.  Besides fitting in with all the external time constraints (other launches, weather, etc.) you basically have to compute the window of time the launch site (LS) will be in a relationship with the desired final orbit to allow achieving it within propellant constraints.  For instance, if this is other than an equatorial orbit the launch must wait until the LS is near the orbital ground track (going in the desired direction).  There are many other constraints and considerations affecting the window, such as type of orbit, solar heating, and so on.  See the ref. for a lot of useful info.

What is a line item veto and how is it used?

As the previous responder said, a line-item veto is used to veto only a part of a bill, especially appropriations bills, which can contain a huge number of provisions. Congress often likes to insert controversial measures into these, because they know the President will likely not veto the whole bill. Line-item veto is not allowed for the president by the United States Constitution, but was briefly used by Clinton when Congress passed the Line-item Veto act of 1996. It was ruled unconstitutional after its first use.


Talk to him about everything. If you still like him then make sure he still feels the same way about you. If either of you aren't committed to the relationship then break it off. Long distance relationships aren't easy and there's no reason to drag it on if you're not sure about it. \n\nIf he's been seeing other girls and rarely calls, chances are it's time to move on. On the bright side, it's a lot easier to move on when the person isn't around all the time. \n\nGood luck!

How would one calculate the number of Teslas necessary to bend a ray of light X degrees?

one would need an equation that is outside the realm of current physical theory.  photons have never been observed to be deflected by a magnetic field of any strength.  however, take heart!  photons were not expected to be deflected by gravitational fields, either - but it has been shown to be the case, as in the gravitational lensing by black holes.  so it is possible that a sufficiently strong magnetic field could deflect photons, but it would certainly be very much more intense than any field created so far on earth.

Which 3 players out of these 6 should I start this weekend on my fantasy football team?


I've been told by Germans that Americans sound like they've got potatoes in their mouths when they're talking.  You could try that - if your mouth is big enough :).  Otherwise, it's very difficult to acquire an American accent, even if you've lived in the US for several years (although I know of a Lithuanian who has an American accent and he only lived in the US for two years).  I would say just make sure you enunciate well and be happy with your interesting accent.

Also do send your recorded voice to music channels.... as nowadays there are lotsa channels who are on the lookout for new talents... Do give it a try...... 'n I hope you do fulfill your dreams of becoming a singer.... Wish you all the best..

Why do people smoke even though they know it will ultimately be their demise?

You do not know what will be the reason you die until you do. I have known many people who smoked for many years and lived to ripe old age and died a natural death. \n What I find so interesting is that more people are getting sicker and at younger ages no matter what they are doing in their lives.\n Certainly smoking is not good for you. I do not believe people think it is cool anymore to do so as they did back in maybe the 50's. But then it was common to come home and have your wife hand you a martini after work too. Times change,attitudes change\n Habits change, lifestyles change. \n  And guess what there are smokers who actually enjoy smoking and are healthier than some of their contemporaries..\n As I said you do not know what will cause your demise. Their are many things we do and are exposed to in this world of ours that cause many health problems and Social problems (like alcohol)\n You certainly don't hear about the guy who smokes his cigerette then smacks his kids or wife around? Or woman doing that either for that matter? Yet everyone jumps on the cigerettes are bad for you bandwagon.  \n Oops off my soapbox here... Some of these issues really are so petty and are blown out of proportion that it makes me sick.....

Is it legal to turn left after the light turns red?

It is illegal in the state of Washington to drive through a red light.  The yellow light is given to warn you the light will change soon.  It is the drivers responsibility to make sure they are through the intersection before the light turn red.  However, high traffic volumes often make it nearly impossible to turn left.  Sometimes people are forced to wait until traffic clears after the light turns red.  \n\nTo answer your question:  It is illegal, but everyone does it.  It happens so offten it is hard for the police to enforce.

What is the best way to treat acne?\nto know the best way to \ntreat it that won't cost \na lot of money?

One inexpensive thing to try is changing your diet. Some recommendations are:\n\n- eat fewer fatty foods, especially trans fats. Trans fats are hydrogenated oils that are in a lot of fast food and junk food, such as Oreos and fried foods\n\n- eat more protein, mostly found in meat, but also in tofu and lentils\n\n- eat less grains, i.e. bread, spaghetti, pizza. This  and eating more protein has helped many friends of mine with their skin\n\n- don't have chocolate or coffee. These are not proven to have any relation to acne, but some doctors think certain people have skin reactions when they eat or drink a lot of it.\n\n\nI hope this helps! You'll have to experiment and see what works for you! Best of luck to you.

Frozen lake- how deep does the ice needs to get so that you can drive a car over it?

'Each year, as the ice begins to skim Minnesota’s lakes and ponds, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources receives hundreds of phone calls from anxious anglers who all have the same basic question: "Is the ice safe yet?" That’s when I whip out my trusty stock answer: "No, ice is NEVER safe."\n\n[...]\n\nHere are a few general guidelines for use by winter recreation enthusiasts to lessen their chances for an icy dip or worse. It’s impossible to judge the strength of ice by its appearance, thickness, daily temperature, or snow cover alone. Ice strength is actually dependent on all four factors, plus water depth under the ice, the size of the water and water chemistry, currents, and distribution of the load on the ice.\n\n[...]\n\n* Snowmobiles and ATV’s need at least 5 inches, and cars and light trucks need at least 8-12 inches of good clear ice.\n\n* Wear a life jacket. Life vests or float coats provide excellent flotation and protection from hypothermia (loss of body temperature). Never wear a life jacket if you are traveling in an enclosed vehicle, however. It could hamper escape in case of a breakthrough.\n\n* Carry a pair of homemade ice picks or even a pair of screwdrivers tied together with a few yards of strong cord that can be used to pull yourself up and onto the ice if you do fall in. Be sure they have wooden handles so if you drop them in the struggle to get out of the water, they won’t go straight to the bottom!\n\n* Avoid driving on the ice whenever possible. Traveling in a vehicle, especially early or late in the season is simply "an accident waiting to happen." In the 117 ice fatalities occurring in Minnesota since 1976, 68 percent involved a vehicle.\n\n* Be prepared to bail out in a hurry if you find it necessary to use a car, unbuckle your seatbelt and have a plan of action if you do breakthrough. Some safety experts recommend driving with the window rolled down and the doors ajar for an easy escape. Move your car frequently. Parking in one place for a long period weakens ice. Don’t park near cracks, and watch out for pressure ridges or ice heaves.\n\n* Don’t drive across ice at night or when it is snowing. Reduced visibility increases your chances for driving into an open or weak ice area.\n\n* Check at the access if there are signs that indicate an aeration system is in operation on the lake. Aerators keep areas of water open to provide oxygen for fish. The ice can be weakened many yards beyond where the ice is actually open. Stay well outside the fenced areas indicated by diamond shaped thin ice signs.'\n\n---\n\n'How can you tell if a lake is frozen solid enough to drive on? The surest way to know is to wait until several other cars and trucks have safely driven across the ice. Even then, you should always be extra careful when driving across a frozen lake.\n\nIt's possible that one section of the lake has currents that prevent the lake from freezing solid. Or there might be a river or stream that brings slightly warmer water into one part of the lake. So even though most of the lake was frozen solid, one section of the lake could have thin ice.'\n\n---\n\n'If you're driving your car (didn't we just say we don't recommend that) safety experts recommend that you drive with the windows down and your seatbelt off. Don't take this an excuse to drive without a seatbelt full time just in case you drive into a lake. Out on the ice you are driving on a lake and if the ice gives way from under you it is critical to get out of your vehicle before it is submerged.  A car crashing into water can sink in a matter of seconds.'\n\n---\n\n'Take a hard look at the ice before you leap. Clear blue ice is the strongest, and it still takes three inches to safely hold a single person, and five to six inches to safely hold a group of people or a snowmobile. You supposedly can venture out onto thinner ice if you distribute your weig


Whats the lamest sitcom on tv right now?

If you mean only new sitcoms (which eliminates Joey from the running), Twins certainly ranks near the top of the list. Sara Gilbert, Mark Linn-Baker and Melanie Griffith all deserve better.  But I think Love, Inc., might very well be worse than Twins.  Love, Inc. stars Busy Phillips and Holly Robinson-Peete as two women who run a dating service in Manhattan.  Busy Phillips was hired to replace Shannen Doherty because (supposedly) Shannen Doherty tested poorly in focus groups.  Makes you wonder how bad Doherty was in the original pilot given the ineptitude of the series as currently aired on UPN.

what is an effective way to troubleshoot a transistor?  Any website that's worthy to look at?

I may be living in the past but I see transistors every day.  The 2-diode analogy is pretty close to the mark.  They meet at the base, pointing in for PNP and out for NPN.  Check them that way with your multimeter set on diode setting.  If the reading is inconclusive you may have to de-solder them from the circuit.

How does the greenhouse effect work and why?

Greenhouse effect is caused due to the what we call greenhouse gases(like carbon dioxide) which have a high heat retentive capacity. It refers to the continuous heating of an atmosphere by trapping in the incoming energy and letting only the mininmal amount of energy toradiate into space.So, it means that the heat from the sun is able to enter the earth's atmosphere but the amount radiated is much more lesser than what it should be. This always results in increase of the average temperature of the planet experiencing it.

when he feels like 1/2 and not whole when he is away from the one he loves...When he can see in his minds eye what his children will look like with the person he loves. When the phone rings and his heart skips or speeds up thinking it might be her. When he is financially set to take on the responsability of providing a secure future for himself and the one he loves...When he can be in a crowded room with a bunch of women and only see her...When he can look into her eyes and know that they will grow old together. Oh and when her father says you can marry her then it is the right time, Hope this helps. :) P.S. I met my husband when I we were 19 now we are 33 and I always knew we would be together and married it just took him 8yrs to figure it out Hahah Happily married.


What is the difference between a geek and a nerd?

A geek is a cool nerd. A geek is a nerd who has "made it" in some way(s), by popular culture's standars. Usually, both nerds and geeks are smart, but a geek's intelligence has gained him some status in society in some way. Maybe he has earned a lot of money through his smarts, or has a job in a profitable, popular industry. Sometimes nerds aren't as smart as geeks, they're just people who are considered "uncool" by society's standards. Conversely, a nerd usually hasn't (by society's standards) gotten his intelligence to work for him the way a geek has.\nAnother definition might indicate that a geek is a very smart person who has expertise with digital technology, while a nerd is someone who is very smart, but not involved with digital technology. \nNote that all this is based on society's standards, which may or may not reflect the standards of any  given individual. (BTW, the fact that I've just explained all this I think might qualify me as a nerd).


what are some nice things to do for your parents if you don't have alot of time or money?

An expensive gift will not always win their heart, try something simple, do the chores without asking for once, try your hand at preparing a nice meal, make a gift something simple and inexpensive say a card etc. Just show them you care and say I love you to them and you appreciate their efforts and care all these while, they'll appreciate that.


Do you believe humans are meant to be monogamous?

It's a much-researched phenomenon but most researchers agree that we as humans fall victim to habituation in that we get easily bored of things after extended amounts of time and try to seek out new, exciting things to fill the void. It has been said that life is a journey of finding "the next big thing" to satisfy ourselves and it's an endless cycle.


quantum theory\nn.\nA theory in physics based on the principle that matter and energy have the properties of both particles and waves, created to explain the radiation of energy from a blackbody, the photoelectric effect, and the Bohr theory, and now used to account for a wide range of physical phenomena, including the existence of discrete packets of energy and matter, the uncertainty principle, and the exclusion principle. \nAny of various specific applications of this theory.\n\n\nquantum theory, modern physical theory concerned with the emission and absorption of energy by matter and with the motion of material particles; the quantum theory and the theory of relativity together form the theoretical basis of modern physics. Just as the theory of relativity assumes importance in the special situation where very large speeds are involved, so the quantum theory is necessary for the special situation where very small quantities are involved, i.e., on the scale of molecules, atoms, and elementary particles. Aspects of the quantum theory have provoked vigorous philosophical debates concerning, for example, the uncertainty principle and the statistical nature of all the predictions of the theory.\nRelationship of Energy and Matter\n\nAccording to the older theories of classical physics, energy is treated solely as a continuous phenomenon, while matter is assumed to occupy a very specific region of space and to move in a continuous manner. According to the quantum theory, energy is held to be emitted and absorbed in tiny, discrete amounts. An individual bundle or packet of energy, called a quantum (pl. quanta), thus behaves in some situations much like particles of matter; particles are found to exhibit certain wavelike properties when in motion and are no longer viewed as localized in a given region but rather as spread out to some degree.\n\nFor example, the light or other radiation given off or absorbed by an atom has only certain frequencies (or wavelengths), as can be seen from the line spectrum associated with the chemical element represented by that atom. The quantum theory shows that those frequencies correspond to definite energies of the light quanta, or photons, and result from the fact that the electrons of the atom can have only certain allowed energy values, or levels; when an electron changes from one allowed level to another, a quantum of energy is emitted or absorbed whose frequency is directly proportional to the energy difference between the two levels.\n\nDual Nature of Waves and Particles\n\nThe restriction of the energy levels of the electrons is explained in terms of the wavelike properties of their motions: electrons occupy only those orbits for which their associated wave is a standing wave (i.e., the circumference of the orbit is exactly equal to a whole number of wavelengths) and thus can have only those energies that correspond to such orbits. Moreover, the electrons are no longer thought of as being at a particular point in the orbit but rather as being spread out over the entire orbit. Just as the results of relativity approximate those of Newtonian physics when ordinary speeds are involved, the results of the quantum theory agree with those of classical physics when very large “quantum numbers” are involved, i.e., on the ordinary large scale of events; this agreement in the classical limit is required by the correspondence principle of Niels Bohr. The quantum theory thus proposes a dual nature for both waves and particles, one aspect predominating in some situations, the other predominating in other situations.\n\nEvolution of Quantum Theory\n\nEarly Developments\n\nWhile the theory of relativity was largely the work of one man, Albert Einstein, the quantum theory was developed principally over a period of thirty years through the efforts of many scientists. The first contribution was the explanation of black body radiation in 1900 by Max Planck, who proposed that the energies of any harmonic osci


i am 15 should i be worried about having a boyfriend?

You should be friends with yourself first.  Don't feel like you need a boyfriend to be a whole person.


start by telling him that you guys wont be home. if he comes over on saturday say oh well we wont be home tomorrow and probably not monday either. then when he shows up tuesday say you are spending some alone time together...slowly but surely he will stop comming. or just tell him listen i enjoy your company but you can come over this often. and the rejection hotline is always good too lol


is swallowing swimming pool water bad 4 u?

If the water is clear and properly chlorinated, swallowing small amounts will not likely hurt you.  The most common chemical in pool water is chlorine, but it's in amounts only slightly higher than your tap water; not really a problem.  There are dissolved solids like minerals, salts, metals...  drinking it over a long term can damage your liver.

does any one know a name of a poison that kills when put on skin?

The protein ricin (pronounced rye-sin) is a poison manufactured from the castor bean (Ricinus communis). It is considered to be twice as deadly as cobra venom.


Well, there are two sides to this issue - I don't know if you are arguing in favor, or against it - so here goes.\n\nOn the plus side (i.e. banning cars in the city center), you would reduce traffic, congestion, wear and tear on the streets. You could hold events (parades, celebrations, rally's, etc.) in the area without significantly affecting traffic. Also, car-free areas in the downtown (i.e. city center) can help to revitalize an area of the downtown - it can be made to look nice, maybe with something like nice bricks, or cobblestones.\n\nOn the other hand (against banning cars in the city center), if you ban cars in the downtown area, you'll be loosing revenue from on-street parking and any parking tickets the city issues, depending upon the size of the car-free area, it will be more difficult to get to the city center, it might adversely affect sales for businesses in the affected area.\n\nOne option, used in downtown Minneapolis (Nicollet Mall) allows taxis and busses, but not private (i.e. car) traffic. This allows people to get down to the area via public transportation, or by taking a taxi. Of course, it's only one block wide by several (5 or 6 I think) blocks long.\n\nHere are two sites that might provide helpful information:\n\nhttp://www.worldcarfree.net/\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedestrian_street


No way, i was blonde for a while and i was amazed at how much worse people treated me than when i was a brunette. Brunettes definitely have it better.


LISTEN TO YOUR BODY.\n\nI have a HORRIBLE cold right now (why else would I be on this site?!) and I realized that this is the one time I feel like my body has control over me, not the other way around. And it's probably because I wasn't taking good enough care of it to keep it going like I was!\n\nThe two most important things you can do are (1) SLEEP, and (2) DRINK...a LOT. I mean like there will be no water tomorrow. If you're like me, you probably get a fourth of what you're supposed to each day. Which means now is the time to make up, because your body is punishing you. :-)\n\nAside from that, take vitamins (that, again, you should be taking every day). Boost up your immune system with things like Vitamin C (OJ!), Zinc, and Selenium. Go with the Nature's Way echinacea if you would like, but make sure to give your doctor's recommendation dibs.\n\nAlso, stay away from work, school, or other places where you might spread your ickyness. Not for too long, but remember there are other people out there (people with kids!) who will be very unhappy with you if you cramp their style by getting them sick.\n\nKeep the foods you eat pretty bland (is this the rationale behind chicken soup and crackers?) so that you don't put your digestive system through the ringer. The key is nice 'n easy.\n\nI am not sure of this, but I was always told to stay away from dairy products (milk, cheese, etc) as they contribute to the production of phlegm. I'm in the draining process now and don't need any more mucus, thank you.\n\nTake the time (when you're not sleeping) to catch up with movies, books, or online shopping (my personal favorite!) to keep yourself indoors. Try to keep your physical activity to a minimum, but depending on how severe your cold is, this might not be a problem. My body protests every time I try to climb a flight of stairs (and I live on the 3rd floor!) so taking it easy is not difficult for me.\n\nThis is just me, but I like to stay away from over-the-counter medication (unless I need it to sleep at night - NyQuil is my legal drug) because I think I can better gauge if I'm getting better without it.\n\nGood luck and feel better!

Why are Cancers so attracted to Scorpios?

Scorpio With Cancer:\nCancers natural concern for other people may somehow lead Scorpio to think that they are using Cancers good nature and disposition, secretly these thoughts will come from a touch of jealousy of Cancers interest in someone besides him/her. Cancer has great respect for Scorpio, and even though Cancer is of a slightly critical nature Cancer will learn to phrase these criticisms without wounding Scorpio's pride. These two can get along on a very high level. Soul mates are common in this match up. A very good relationship but needs constant maintenance. \n\nBoth are ruled by the emotions and both are water signs. Can be very constructive or very destructive depending on the next wave. If these two water signs could only learn to float instead of surge.

how to live in another country (move out of the USA)?

Simply?  Find a country in which you want to move into, invistage their immigration proceedures, and once accepted, renounce your US citizenship.\n\nThat's the best way to completely rid yourself of the usa.  However keep in mind, once you renounce your citizenship, you can never come back as a full citizen again :)


What gives a State the right to tax citizens for property they already own? (Personal Property Tax)?

I see no difference between a property tax, use tax, sales tax or income tax as far as the government's power to levy.  However, you should consider that most taxable property has the ability to generate income.  When real property produces a continuous benefit to the owner (as opposed to a cheeseburger eaten and digested), I think it's fair to tax that benefit.


What is the dumbest wedding gift you have recieved? And from whom?

I don't about dumbest but definitely the worst. This uninvited guy and his wife gave us a jewlery box. I opened it up and it was moldy and waterlogged, looked like he found it in his basement. Yes it was intentional! We think it was a wedding gift that he might have received years ago.

Is it absolutely necessary to embalm a human before burial?

I would think it would depend on whether there is going to be a viewing or not and whether they are being cremated or burried.  When I die, I definitely do NOT want to be embalmed and I will also be cremated, thx.


Where does one find hamsters in the wild? Does anyone have a picture of a hamster in its natural habitat?

Hamsters were first discovered in 1839 in the Syrian desert in the Middle East. They were thought to be extinct, but in 1930 a scientist in Syria found a nest with a female and 11 babies. Four  hamsters lived and the first hamsters were brought to England in 1931 and to the United States in 1938. It was discovered that they made good pets and by 1950 there were 100,000 golden hamsters in the United States.


how to train a horse without a lunge line??

Read, read, read.  Working in a round pen is not something you can accomplish by reading one book, or even watching one video.  Please for the horses sake read up as much as you can before you try it.  When you start you will make mistakes, but you can minimize them with a lot of research.  I recomend learning how to work your horse on a line first and teach them to disengage their hind quarters.  If you do not know what that means, you are definatly not ready for round pen work.\n\nAlso read books like Buck Brannamans "Far Away Horses", and Mark Rashid- "Horses Never Lie"\n\nParelli books and video's help also.\n\nGood luck!!!!

What are the health benefits of gingko biloba?

Medical uses\nThe extract of the Ginkgo leaves contains flavonoid glycosides and ginkgolides and has been used pharmaceutically. It has many alleged properties, but is mainly used as memory enhancer and anti-vertigo agent. However, studies differ about its efficacy.\n\nIt is commonly added to energy drinks, but it is expensive, so the amount is typically so low it does not produce a noticeable effect, except for the placebo effect from being listed on the label. A study published in the August 21, 2002 issue of Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) suggests that there is no difference between the memory abilities of people taking ginkgo supplements and those taking a placebo.\n\nSide effects\nGinkgo may have some undesirable effects, especially for individuals with blood circulation disorders and those taking anti-coagulants such as aspirin and warfarin, although recent studies have found that ginkgo has little or no effect on the anticoagulant properties or pharmacodynamics of warfarin[1][2]. It should also not be used by people who are taking the anti-depressant drugs known as monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOI) or by pregnant women.\n\nGinkgo side effects and cautions include increased risk of bleeding, gastrointestinal discomfort, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headaches, and restlessness. Ginkgo should also not be used by pregnant women or people with a blood clotting disorder.\n\nIf any side effects are experienced the dosage should be lowered immediately. Ginkgo supplements are usually taken in the range of 40-200 mg per day. If the side effects continue usage should be stopped completely.\n\nTinnitus:\n\nTreatment\nSome types of tinnitus can be treated while others are permanent. In general, there are no cures specific to tinnitus, but if it is caused by a physical condition that can be treated, the tinnitus may also resolve. Chronic tinnitus can be quite stressful psychologically as it distracts the affected individual from mental tasks and interferes with sleep, particularly when there is no external sound. The affected individual may have to generate artificial noise that masks the tinnitus sound. A combination of external masking and psychological counseling known as tinnitus retraining therapy is widely practiced. While it does not actually cure the tinnitus, many report that it becomes much less disturbing and easier to ignore.


Gnostic means "to know", specifically "hidden knowledge". Paul dealt with gnostic belief often in his writings, like to the Ephesians. Which is why he wrote...\n\n"And he made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ"\n\nBasically, everything we NEED to know, we know NOW through the gospel of Christ. Anything "new" is adding to the gospel and is therefore cultic.

I know durex makes the flavored and ribbed condums but I don't know about large so look at a drug story or a sex store or something they should have it.


Is smoking marijuana any better than drinking alcohol, or smoking cigarettes?

It is far safer than drinking alcohol or smoking tobacco.  Alcohol and tobacco are physically addictive, and both are lethal in high doses; marijuana is non-toxic and not physically addictive.\n\nThe biggest danger from marijuana is the legal threat.\n\nThere is no good reason for it to be illegal, none whatsoever.

what is the difference between combo drive & CD-ROM/DVD ?

A combo drive is capable of handling bith DVDs and CDs.  If you see the letters -ROM, that means the drive can only be used to read disks.  -R, -RW, or +RW mean that the drive is capable of writing to disks as well. It's possible to get a drive that is DVD-ROM/CD-RW, which means that it will read and write to CDs, but only read DVDs.  Today though, a usable read/write drive that handles both CDs and DVDs can be had for under $40.

How did Transalvania get linked to Dramcula and Vampires?

Our current image of "Count Dracula" and vampires can trace its roots to the novel written by the Irish writer Bram Stoker. His book of course was fiction but it was loosely based on a real ruler from Transylvania (which is in modern-day Romania)named Vlad the Impaller. I think that the name Dracula comes from the Romanian language and means "Son of the Dragon" or "Son of the Devil". However, I don't think that that was ever Vlad's name. The ruler named Vlad had little to do with the novelist's vampire except that he had a reputation for cruelty (he was called "The Impaller" because he reputedly killed his enemies by impalling them on stakes).


what are the sexual benefits of circumcision?

There are several:\n\n1 Many older men, who have bladder or prostate gland problems, also develop difficulties with their foreskins due to their surgeon's handling, cleaning, and using instruments. Some of these patients will need circumcising. Afterwards it is often astonishing to find some who have never ever seen their glans (knob) exposed before!\n\n2 Some older men develop cancer of the penis - about 1 in 1000 - fairly rare, but tragic if you or your son are in that small statistic. Infant circumcision gives almost 100% protection, and young adult circumcision also gives a large degree of protection.\n\n3 Cancer of the cervix in women is due to the Human Papilloma Virus. It thrives under and on the foreskin from where it can be transmitted during intercourse. An article in the British Medical Journal in April 2002 suggested that at least 20% of cancer of the cervix would be avoided if all men were circumcised. Surely that alone makes it worth doing?\n\n4 Protection against HIV and AIDS. Another British Medical Journal article in May 2000 suggested that circumcised men are 8 times less likely to contract the HIV virus. (It is very important here to say that the risk is still far too high and that condoms and safe sex must be used - this applies also to preventing cancer of the cervix in women who have several partners.)\n\nA BBC television programme in November 2000 showed two Ugandan tribes across the valley from one another. One practised circumcision and had very little AIDS, whereas, it was common in the other tribe, who then also started circumcising. This programme showed how the infection thrived in the lining of the foreskin, making it much easier to pass on.\n\n5 As with HIV, so some protection exists against other sexually transmitted infections. Accordingly, if a condom splits or comes off, there is some protection for the couple. However, the only safe sex is to stick to one partner or abstain.\n\n6 Lots of men, and their partners, prefer the appearance of their penis after circumcision, It is odour-free, it feels cleaner, and they enjoy better sex. Awareness of a good body image is a very important factor in building self confidence. \n\n7 Balanitis is an unpleasant, often recurring, inflammation of the glans. It is quite common and can be prevented by circumcision.\n\n8 Urinary tract infections sometimes occur in babies and can be quite serious. Circumcision in infancy makes it 10 times less likely.


Who will needs to use the value of Pi to millionth place of decimal and why?

It will be used for cryptography. As you know, pi has no real sequence in which the numbers occur. Therefore, they can be predicted easily. This is makes them an assect to be exploited in cryptography. In fact, the famous blowfish algorithym is based on the ramdon hex values of pi.


Why is it I can go East or West forever, but go only go so far North or South before changing direction?

In order to create any sort of system for describing movements around a sphere, you need to choose some fixed reference point somewhere.  In the case of the standard system for describing movements on the surface of the Earth which you're talking about, the point that's been chosen is the North Pole (& its sister the South Pole).  This creates north/south movement, which is movement towards either one of these places.  East/west movement is a different sort of movement which can be described within the same framework-- movement along imaginary parallel lines placed perpendicular to the up-down orientation you're imagining. \n \nIt's all arbitrary.  You could imagine a system where there's a direction-- let's call it Glork-- that leads directly to your house.  If you go "all the way" Glork, you get to your house.  If you go "all the way" Anti-Glork, you get to the point on th Earth which is directly opposite your house.  And there are two directions of movement, analogous to east and west, where you move on around the planet on parallels perpendicular to Glork and Anti-Glork.  Same deal. \n \nAs to the history of our particular convention on directions, it helps to understand that when it was invented most people didn't understand that the world is a sphere.  So, to them, it was just the four functionally equivalent directions that you get on a 2d surface. \n \n<3

Falling On The Ground Laughing My A** Off\n\nmore popular version is FOTFLMAO:\n\nFalling On The Floor Laughing My A** Off


A computer is an information-processing machine that works by converting all kinds of information into binary numbers (ones and zeros) and then using simple mathematics to make decisions about, or to rearrange, those numbers. There are two things essential to understanding the basics of how a computer works. One is that a computer treats any type of information (not only numbers but also letters, words, dates, and so on) as if it consisted simply of binary ones and zeros. For example, a computer can translate the letter “A” typed into its keyboard into a string of ones and zeros, such as 1000001. One reason to do this is that once in binary form, the information can be stored and moved about more easily.

Why do people want to take Christ out of Christmas when happy holidays could mean the forth of July?

Because not everyone is Christian.  "Happy Holidays" is just a way to wish everyone well whether they celebrate Christmas, Hannukah, or Kwanzaa.  It can also be meant to include New Year's Day along with Christmas.\n\nEven many people who celebrate Christmas do so in an entirely secular fashion, complete with Santa, the reindeer, Frosty, tree, and presents.  Whether the Christians like it or not, Christmas is and has been Christ-optional in our culture for a long time now.

Does your body keep a running tally of sleep?

Yes and no.  You can not build a "stockpile" of sleep.  However, your body can accumulate "sleep debt."  The amount of sleep each person needs varies.  In addition, how your body addresses it's sleep debt depends on the circumstances.\n\nLet's say, for example, you need 8 hours per night.  If you have zero sleep debt, you will not be able to sleep more than 8 hours.  But if you sleep for only 7 hours one night, you add 1 hour to your sleep debt.  If you do this Sunday through Thursday night, you will have 5 hours of sleep debt.\n\nThe catch is, most people can not relieve themselves of more than about an hour of sleep debt per night.  So, even if you sleep for 10 or 11 hours on Friday and Saturday nights, you would most likely not make up for your lack of sleep all week.  The quality of sleep diminishes with each sleep cycle, so those last couple of hours aren't nearly as effective as the first few.\n\nMost people are carrying around sleep debt.  In fact, it is healthy to have a small amount of sleep debt (say, 5-10 hours).  If you have too little, it is difficult to fall asleep at night.  If you have the right amount of sleep debt, you should not feel tired during the day but it should only take you 10-15 minutes to fall asleep at night.\n\nHowever, generally speaking, there is a cap to the amount of sleep debt you can accumulate.  If I remember correctly, it is at about 50 hours or so.  The average person is walking around with about 25 hours of sleep debt or so.  Many sleep specialists believe that a large portion of auto accidents have a root cause of lack of sleep, but it is difficult to accurately measure this.  50 hours of sleep debt has a similar impact to your ability to function as if you had just finished off a couple of beers.\n\nThere's an excellent book on the subject called "The Promise of Sleep"


circumstances make girls a bunch of nicety atleast at the first go,,what you say???

If you are trying to say that girls/women are nice at the beginning and then not nice further into things...I would say guys can be the same way.\nIt takes time to truly get to know someone...and no one is perfect.
